Well it appears the Brady Bunch wants today to be a day where candles are lit to commemorate all of the victims of gun violence. In other words they need the light in order to make sure they dance ONLY in puddles of blood left by people who were shot. As a note to them everyone is an innocent victim to include the criminals gunning each other down ( Read more... )

Taking a break from packing up everything for the weekend long Appleseed shoot here in CT that starts tomorrow. It will be me, my wife and my friend from work, Angela. My son was going to go but bowed out to go camping with his buddies so Angela took his ticket ( Read more... )

Just took the one day course given by PFC called defensive carbine. I am tired, happily worn out and should be prepping my gear for tomorrow when I start combative carbine. However, I took my 17 year old son out of school for today and had him take this course with me ( Read more... )

Was perusing through some random sites when I stumbled upon the Puckle Gun. WHat is the Puckle Gun? It is considered the worlds first machinegun invented by James Puckle in 1718- that right 1718!

It should come as no surprise to most that Al Qaeda (AQ) still wants to hit the US very badly- especially with a WMD if possible. As such I find it startling that the UK press published a story about an AQ cell in Malaysia which has ( Read more... )

Giving credit where it is dues I am glad to see that the evacuation of NO is happening in a fairly quick and efficient manner. This includes having over 700 charter buses on stand-by to take people out. From all reports though the lines can be long there is no panic like their was in Katrina.
