As a pro rights supporter of the Bill of Rights I exercise my right to carry by putting on a sidearm every morning. The anti-self-defense movement continues it’s endeavors to deny me that right.

I’m sure that there are some [...]

The FN F2000 is FN’s bullpup assault rifle. It’s coolest feature is that it ejects empties from a port near the muzzle. The Airborne Combat Engineer has links to videos of the rifle in action.

A civilian version, the FS2000, is expected to be available soon.

MGI, makers of the Modular AR-type lower, has a photo of the silliest AR15/M16 variant (scroll down) ever. It’s a pintle mounted, spade handled AR of some sort with what appears to be a Beta C-Mag.

Type in “how to teach your child to dial 911″ at Google and hit the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button. You’ll be taken to this post. The first sentence of the post is “Teach your child to dial 911 and die.” I hope the lesson is learned.

Sounds like a bad guy was arrested but read this description of the weapons seized.
Many of the firearms had been modified with high-powered optical sighting scopes and had extended capacity magazines with high velocity bullets, Kurylowicz said.
Modified (something was bolted on?) Scary!
High-powered optical sighting (hunting?) scopes. Scary!
Extended (normal?) capacity magazines. Scary!
High velocity (come on now, [...]

Nothing a nice cushion couldn’t fix.  I’d have one in my living room.

Heartless Libertarian gives us a glimpse of a new, modular, AR weapon system - the MGI Modular System. Now you can have an AR-15 in 7.62X39 and use unaltered AK magazines.
Better yet, by switching the interchangeable modular magwells you can convert the same rifle to shoot 5.56, .308 (M14 mags) and .45 ACP (Grease [...]

Radley Balko has another report of cops invading an old woman’s home. This time the cops had the wrong address but fortunately the old woman survived.

Sam knows her guns and her guns are, well, admired (and well admired for that matter).

Milton Friedman passed away November 16 at the age of 94 years. I was deeply saddened by the news of his death and struggled with what to say about it. I’ve decided to leave it at this quote.
There are four ways in which you can spend money. You can spend your own [...]

Read the comments at Tam’s post about the murder of an innocent 92 year old woman and you’ll see a mention of cops, cop attitude and dangerous jobs. I had a post touching on the subject of dangerous jobs a while ago. In light of this recent outrage I thought I’d re-post the relevant [...]

In the evening of the new moon I saw Orion rise above the horizon, a sure sign that winter is soon upon us but for now let us make Thanksgiving.

Belligerent women don’t give in to criminals without a fight, even when the criminals have badges hanging from their necks.
Three home invaders were shot and wounded while committing a crime and killed an innocent 92 year old woman in retaliation. Turns out the old lady killers were cops. Their Malum in se crime, [...]
