Say Uncle tells of a new patented kind of ammo for so called smart guns (think New Jersey and laugh at the oxymoron of NJ pols coming up with anything smart).
My plan is to patent a kind of democracy ammo. This ammo would be issued to police forces only and would function only if [...]

A Sig I Could Dig

I’d like me one of those X-Five 226s. Hmmm, the safety is in the right place and ambi, that’s a plus for those weak hand stages.

It sorta has a CZ 75 look to the grip frame.

Hailstorm

Not the worst hailstorm we’ve had up here on the ridge but this time I have photos.

This was taken around the time this happened. I’d like to add these items to that earlier post; two fluorescent lights on one circuit and a GFI outlet.

If you thought the carbide cannons of your youth were special check out these newly manufactured reincarnations.

If you’ve moved beyond them check out what they’re doing with acetylene cannons.

A lightning strike at our house killed the cable box, cable modem and one of three connected desktop computers. Oh and our Linksys wireless router, both garage door openers and a couple of switched circuits.

FCC says VOIP and cell phone users need to subsidize other folks communication costs.
So remind me, what do we need an FCC for?

A homeowner defends himself and his home from an attempted home invasion robbery. Whom will the authorities charge with the more serious crime? Hint: this is in Canada.
RCMP say two men were trying to kick in Young’s front door, but he was home at the time. Police say that “an altercation ensued,” [...]

Can you say Amero amigo? I knew you could.
Brought to us by those shining beacons of Liberty and Freedom, Paul Martin, George Bush and Vincente (Zorro) Fox.
This is not a theoretical exercise being prepared so it can be submitted for review. Instead, SPP is producing an action agreement to be implemented directly by [...]

Instapundit on the supreme court’s Hudson v. Michigan decision: “However, the exclusionary rule is a lousy remedy for these kinds of things, since it doesn’t protect those innocent of any crime. (If you’re innocent, there’s nothing to exclude).” If you are innocent you have nothing to fear from [the latest assault on our liberties]. [...]

“When I become chairman [of a House appropriations subcommittee], I’m going to earmark the s**t out of it,” Moran buoyantly told a crowd of 450 attending the event.

Speed Lights

New York City’s ass in chief Mayor Bloomberg not content with trying to ban paint that might be used on a gun wants to put a light on top of taxis and private vehicles that would turn on when the vehicle is speeding.

Holster Help

David T. found my earlier post about my HK P9S. He’s looking for a holster for his P9S and wanted some info about the holster in the image at that post. In his comments you can see that he’s right, it’s a 19L for an H&K P9S.

This holster was made for this specific [...]

Red Cars

Can a Ferrari 575 catch up to a Fiat hatchback after a 31-second head start in a single-lap track race? Better still, can an F1 car catch up to both after waiting 1:27?
See the video. It’s worth just to hear the scream of the Formula 1 engine.

One Mind at a Time

Winning hearts and minds in England.
Highway worker Nick Lenthall beeped his horn and raised his thumb at the officers as he drove past in his council lorry in Bournemouth.
He was shocked when the entire unit climbed into their van and pulled him over a few minutes later.
