Blogger gets his Rifleman patch at Appleseed wearing the coolest shirt in the world

I think it was the shirt.

No worries, though, as I did finally score a 219 on my fifth attempt, and even that was with three or four FTFs.

He’s having problems with his 10/22, but he managed to still make the score. Good job.

Now go and see a photo of him in the coolest shirt in the world. 

Blogger goes to Appleseed’s Rifleman Boot Camp

It’s like summer camp for shooters! My friend, blogger at Arms are the Mark of a Free Man, is off for a week of shooting at the Appleseed home range in Ramseur.

Back in March of this year, I attended a two day Appleseed shoot with 10 other bloggers, but I was probably the only one who didn’t write about it afterwards. I don’t really have a good excuse for that. Even though I didn’t make Rifleman and earn my Rifleman patch, I wasn’t the only one, as about half of us didn’t make it. It’s not uncommon to not make it the first time.

Given my marked improvement, I figured that if two days could do that, eight days of Appleseed would be even better, right? Well, I guess I’m going to find out.

He’s going to blog each day, so if you don’t already have him in your RSS reader, add him now.

I sure wish I could go.

So you like “Real Life Stop Motion?”

Bluesun links to a cool video of a Bastille Day parade in Paris. In the video, it appears that someone has built a diorama and animated their entire miniature parade. Except it is actually a video of a real parade, with some post-production work. It’s a cool effect which makes an otherwise boring parade video into something worth your attention.
I saw this for the first time about a week ago. It was in a paragliding video. I sat through this video amazed that it wasn’t the most complex stop-motion animation I’d ever seen.

Did I mention that anyone who wants to get rid of me as a gun blogger only has to give me enough money to buy a paragliding kit and travel around the world flying? Here’s your chance anti-gunners. Hit the PayPal and I’m gone flying! Assuming that all of the anti-gunners together could scrape that much money together at one time.
I guess you’re all stuck with me.

Chris proves that his cat is smarter than Joan Peterson

It seems that even Chris from Arma Borealis’s cat is smart enough to recognize that inanimate objects pose no threat.

One wonders how sad it must be to lose an intelligence contest with a housecat.

That wild eyed radical Mike Vanderboegh is making sense again

I know, I know. He usually makes a great deal of sense, but the lefty whiners can’t acknowledge that. Here’s his latest.

This pisses me off something royal

So, imagine that you’ve been in a car accident with a car carrying 5 people who were driving aggressively towards you. Two of them jump out of the car and beat on your window. They don’t leave you alone when you show them your gun. You call 911 and are recorded ordering them to leave you alone. You are recorded asking for police to help you at the same time you are telling the assailants to back away or you will shoot. The guy charges you and you shoot him. You talk to the dispatcher until the cops show, and during the investigation it’s determined that the guy you shot was a multiple felon. What do you think happens?
The asshole District Attorney charges you with a bunch of crimes, claiming that
“We just don’t allow people to go shoot people,” he said. “Using deadly force is a last resort. It shouldn’t be the first resort.”
Hey asshole! What exactly was this guy supposed to do outnumbered 2 to 1 (minimum) with a wrecked car and far away from help? Was he supposed to sprinkle pixie dust on himself, think happy thoughts, and follow the second star on the right?
I’m not going to link the story directly, I want you to read about it on Iowa gunblogger Robert Fowler’s blog. I am in wholehearted agreement with his conclusion,
You think that getting sent to jail until your trial is the worst that can happen to you? Read the whole thing to see how bad it can really get. God help him if the jury hadn’t believed him.
We need to see if we can get some money to him. He’s broke, homeless, and unemployed. That’s not justice.

MarkofaFreeMan says it better than I could

The whole “it’s a violation of property rights” argument against me having a gun in my trunk at work really pisses me off. It’s a BS argument. My friend and fellow North Carolina gunblogger says it best,
Read the whole thing.
As for people whose property my car is parked on, keep your big fat nose out of my vehicle. For the “pro-property rights” legislators, stop making common cause with those ignorant leftists who will stop at nothing to disarm me.

David Hardy sees the Underpants Gnomes in Gunwalker

Second Amendment scholar and blogger David Hardy sat down with Ruth at the Gun Values Board and answered some questions for her about the Second Amendment. The best part, discussing the Gunwalker Scandal,
This is what Kurt Hoffman refers to as the “Underpants Gnomes” explanation.

Since that strategy is clearly stupid, we have two choices. Believe the stupid explanation, and therefore believe that the DOJ is filled with people so stupidly incompetent that they were unable to see that their plan had a hole in it the size of Jupiter. Or disbelieve the explanation and accept the fact that the DOJ is lying to cover up something much worse than mere weapons grade incompetent stupidity.

I know which one I believe, and it’s the same thing that David Hardy believes.
