Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
FedEx just delivered boolits!
Apparently the pipelines are slowly unclogging. I forget if I heard it from the Roadgunner Podacast or it was from Walt In PA Podcast (you should be listening to both anyway) that even the elusive brick of .22LR has made skittish appearances in some shelves around the country.
Again thanks to Powder Valley for their awesome customer service.
I should have posted something fresh by now, but I am swamped with family stuff right now. Nothing earth shattering but stuff that sucks time and patience.
Coming soon I have a rant about IDPA that needs to be told. If I have a chance, it will come out sometime before midnight, if not tomorrow.
Author Vince Flynn succumbed to prostate cancer.
Thank you for the books and the hours of fun escapism. Thank you.
If you never read anything by Vince, allow me to suggest to start at the beginning with Term Limits.
Now, Palmetto Bugs prefer living outside, but when they’re in your house you pretty much have to kill them or sleep in your car or move. And since I just moved and my car was still filled with crap, I knew he had to die. It was either him or me. Only one was going to come out of this encounter alive.
I really don’t know if the author is now living in Florida, but for your general fund of information, palmetto bugs can be “treated” with #6 birdshot in most cases and four ought buckshot for those recalcitrant members of the species.
And yes, do not miss…
At least two formal events have popped up on Facebook that are encouraging Colorado gun owners to engage in civil disobedience and break the recent law that prohibits the sale or transfer of gun magazines capable of holding more than 15 rounds.
The events encourage participants from Colorado and other surrounding states to buy, sell and swap magazines that can hold more than 15 rounds in disobedience of the law.
We’ll be waving both the National Colors and the Gadsden in your honor.
The ammo shortage has affected everybody but we that reload have been struggling like madmen looking for sanity in a Grateful Dead concert to find reloading supplies. I have been a customer of Powder Valley for several years now and their record is impressive: no matter how bad the situation, they have managed to keep me (and I am guessing most of its customers) rightly supplied.
I placed an order for 9mm bullets a couple of weeks ago actually amazed that they had bullets in stock. The site had a warning indicating that orders placed that day may have shipment date of July 2nd. I had no problem with that, hell I was happy to been able to score the darn things. But the people at Powder Valley beat that and I just got both via email the invoice and the FedEx notification that my shipment is on the way. And even the price was not bad at all as the difference from last time I bought a similar product and the price that I am paying now is just about $10-$12 more. So kudos and many thanks to the people of Powder Valley for being such a remarkable company and busting their butts to keep us happy and shooting.
And of course, if you have not tried Powder Valley, you should….now! What are you still doing here? 🙂
There will be some shootin’ done soon!
The numbers related to gun violence in the land of the free are, of course, deeply chilling. More than 8,500 Americans were murdered by guns (or rather, by killers wielding guns) in 2011, according to the most recent FBI data. Of those, 565 were under the age of 18; 119 were kids 12 or younger. Wherever one comes down on the gun debate, most sane people can agree that those statistics are a national disgrace and … well, insane.
And from the original 1956 article:
In 1954 more than 550 U.S. children under 15 were killed in accidents involving the careless handling of firearms, five of them in lake County, Indiana. [In 2010, 606 people were killed by “accidental discharge of firearms,” according to the CDC. — Ed.] This situation shocked Indiana Conservation Officer Rod Rankin, who decided to offer a course in gun safety to any interested child in the county. In the past year 2,500 children from 6 years on, with the approval of their parents, have taken him up on it.

Check the great pictorial. And of course the snarky final remark of the Editor ignoring the obvious.
