An Ohio man accused of burglary is recovering from gunshot wounds in a Toledo area hospital this week. The suspected burglar actually called 911 himself to report he had been shot. Although, in his version of events he forgot to mention the whole attempted burglary thing. The homeowner identified as Antione Garret, 34, heard someone […]

This is one everyone hears –way to often during the holidays. It is a great song to hear once a week or so.

 

Putting it up on Saturday so I don’t annoy too many folks.

With closure of the comment period for proposed National Firearms Act rulemaking changes by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives fast approaching a Dec. 9 deadline, attorney Glenn Bellamy on Thursday submitted an exhaustively...

Last week we reported that New York City had begun sending letters out to some gun owners who may own rifles and shotguns capable of holding more than 5 rounds of ammunition. The letters basically give owners the option of surrendering their firearms to the authorities, having them permanently modified to be in compliance with […]

It looks like the battle for Congress in 2014 is starting to heat up. Former Rep Gabby Giffords has setup a political action committee using the nearly $300,000 in her campaign fund. The PAC will begin immediately funneling money to senators who supported federal gun control efforts earlier this year. According to POLITICO, The new […]

Well more of an ice/sleet/freezing rain day. Roads are slicker than owl snot (don’t ask how I can make that comparison, I’m trying to forget that camping trip).

Just chilling out -literally- at home with the Tennessee Father In Law and She Who Lets Me Make Her Coffee Every Morning.

I am a little peeved at the timing of this storm; likely won’t make it out to the range with Tn F-I-L this weekend. Perfect excuse to be polite and while turning money into smoke and noise–and this weather puts a kaboosh on that plan. Phooey!

As our judicial system currently stands, when you are convicted of a felony, you give up certain rights. It doesn’t matter if the felony was a victimless crime or a violent crime. Our poll for today deals with the rights of non-violent felons. When voting keep in mind, we are talking about non-violent crimes here. […]

This incident doesn’t involve self defense with a gun, but a knife. It also features the ‘refuse to be a victim’ mindset that is present in so many of these stories. A 67 year old Oakland resident had just returned home with his girlfriend after visiting relatives at around 8pm. Two armed robbers then pepper […]

This is one of my favorites to listen to. I try to sing it but my voice leaves much to be desired in that area. Don’t do too bad in a group where better singers hide croaking.

 

 

Lack of public support has caused the promoters of a Chicago performance intended to benefit the Sandy Hook Workers Assistance Fund to cancel the event, Chicago Musicians Care announced Wednesday on the group’s Facebook page.“It is...

After the summary report on the Sandy Hook shooting was released last month, many wondered why the 911 calls had also not been released. Several individuals and organizations had filed open record requests for the calls, but they continues to remain unavailable. Today, at least some of the calls have finally been released. We aren’t […]

Here we have another great video from the NRA News Commentators, this time from Dom Raso. Raso points out some disturbing things that are happening to the gun rights of our veterans. Here is the full transcript in case you can’t watch the video: Under Obama’s administration, there’s been a serious downsizing of our military. […]

Here we have Lt. Col. Robert Bateman. A US Army Officer who is currently living in England and apparently hates the idea that US citizens own guns so much that he wrote an article for Esquire on the subject of civilian disarmament. Bateman calls out the Supreme Court for, according to him, their incorrect interpretation […]

Anyone else thinking we should start scheming, conniving, er planning for another blog shoot?

It’s been a while since we’ve had one — six months or so. And to make sure everyone understands — this isn’t just a ‘have to blog to attend’ or a “Dallas Blogger” — anyone in the area, going to be in the area or willing to come to the area is welcome as are commenters, readers, bloggers, friends of the same.

I know we can use my range again but think we should try for some place with fewer restrictions.

Comments, suggestions or idea?

Let’s go old school; with one of the Rat Pack — Dean Martin.

 

Maybe it’s just me but it seems he simply enjoyed singing that carol; something I think many singers don’t always let show in their work.

Hope you are enjoying these. Just picking them out and listening to them is helping me.

A firestorm has been started on Esquire’s The Politics Blog with a Tuesday opinion piece by Lt. Col. Robert Bateman titled “It’s time to talk about guns and the Supreme Court.” He not only...

This Congressional study should, at minimum, put to rest the claims that more guns in private hands will create more violent crime. According to a new study, commissioned by Congress, the murder rate in the US has fallen from 9.5 per 100,000 in 1993 to 4.7 per 100,000 in 2011. Homicides involving firearms dropped from […]
