exciting ride through somebody's front yard, splitting the difference between a pine tree on the left and a telephone pole on the right, and a gentle curving left back onto the blacktop so as to avoid sinking my bike into said landowner's pond.


Bet that looked interesting if anybody was looking out the front window of the house.

Ugly Gun Sunday

I'd estimate the total cost at under $10.

If they made it in .44 Mag..............

The B-VI-307.

When Things Go Right............

We'll be hearing about Aurora for a long time yet, along with the calls for and end to civilian body armor sales, no internet sales of ammunition, registration of buying ammo, and limits on possessed amounts subject to inspection by local authorities working for the Feds.

What we probably won't be seeing or hearing about at the national level is things like this.

Thanks for the Image Boost

Normally, I'd say this is great. I'm glad they got the guy. I'm happy no one has an extra orifice.

Except..........

1) Firing a shot in the air to stop the burglar. Compared to Iowa, this place is populated. Popping a .44 Magnum into the air in a random direction is bad. Not AK-47 discharged into the air at an Arab wedding bad, but still bad.

2) Allowing the television reporter to see the western-style revolvers used to stop the criminal is good; pointing the revolver into the camera, where you can plainly see rounds in the cylinder? Bad.

3) Telling the television reporter how you fired a round into the air? Not something I'd mention. Flipping the muzzle into the air and cranking a round off to who knows where while talking to the interviewer? Not bad; criminally stupid.

Thanks for reinforcing that "Gun Owner = Dangerous Redneck" meme.

Ugly Gun Sunday

Reduces muzzle flash, noise, and great for clearing clogged toilets.
