The worst part of it is the second amendment probably represents the worst-worded sentence (?) ever put into an important legal document. Which is OK, because products of our modern school system probably think it's proper English, even for the late eighteenth century.

Here in Arizona, open carry is legal without any permit. Concealed carry requires a CCW. A couple of years ago, my Harley club went on a ride, and one of our members carried open (she's ex-LEO). Perfectly legal, no big deal. But at the next club meeting, the club President asked that people...

No offense intended, but using a financial calculation to justify (or not) an investment in your future freedom somehow strikes me as silly. I understand your logic, and of course the entire calculation is dependent on your life span expectation. That's not the point. Over a period of years...

You guys piss me off! You're 18 or 20 or some such, and you're worried about Walmart creating some new barrier to your acquiring ammunition. Hell, I'm 60, and I'm happy just getting out of bed without putting me knee out of joint! On the other hand, I never get carded - for anything...

Did my part. 100 rounds of Speer Gold Dot 147 gr 9mm. Not cheap, but it's 100 rounds I feel I can count on in any of my 9mms.

The armadillo is great. A SOG Seal will take care of old-style beer cans.

I'm not going to get into the argument about regulating possession by felons and mental defectives - that's too obvious. However, and I truly hate to say this, but it seems to me there need to be some limits. For example, I'd rather not allow the nutcase down the street the ability to own an...

Hello, my name is NG VI, you killed my father. Prepare to die. Sorry, couldn't resist.

I just got home from seeing "An American Carol". Hollywood and Lefties are going to hate it. Well-written, -cast and -acted. The wisecracks and gags were laugh-out-loud funny. I missed a few of the cracks just because of the faked jihad accents - my only criticism. Excellent illustration of...

Actually, this is very much in character for Obama. I think he learned an important lesson from the Clintons about performing a total blitzkrieg on anyone who disagrees with you. Read the following: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Saturday, September 27, 2008 Contact: Jessica Robinson...

Stupid moose! His instructions were to infiltrate city hall and wreak some havoc. I hope he at least is reunited with squirrel.

Welcome, brother! We need all the members we can get, now more than ever. I know that sounds like a cliche', but if a Socialist like Obama can make it as a major-party candidate for POTUS, we're in deep doo-doo, and not just over the firearms issue.

I enjoyed the first two books, and I'm looking forward to # 3 just to get me totally angry again. Thank you for the sneak peek. Matt, you've a great way of taking political and social realities as they are now and taking them to their worst-case but plausible conclusion. The below is a link...

Sad to hear, although I never would have visited it ever again, having left So Cal many years ago. But it brings back fond memories of going there with my dad in the '60s when I was a teenager. He had bought a Jap Arisaka barreled action converted to .30-06, and painstakingly fitted and...
