PSH Alert 


Don't even mention those cash-in-transit guys standing in front of their armoured trucks with machine-guns. If they so much as looked in my direction, I wanted to pee in my pants. 

I bet it's a number 7 on the Brady Chart

It sure seems that way




Of course, being despised by the despicable is as good as being admired by the admirable.

I MIGHT consider voting for this guy

Rather than voting his opponent out. Of course, he promises to do nothing to make any issues worse.

Sometimes, it's the team that takes the rap

Nigeria's president has suspended it's national soccer football team after a poor showing at the World Cup. 

They're grounded for two years. What to do with all that time?  Perhaps they can write e-mails telling you how their dead uncle left a lot of money that they need your help in retrieving.

And this man is in charge of Detroit's school system

Otis Mathis, president of the city's school board, admits he has trouble writing a coherent sentence.

"Instead of telling them that they can't write and won't be anything, I show that cannot stop you," Mathis told the paper. "If Detroit Public Schools can allow kids to dream, with whatever weakness they have, that's something. ... It's not about what you don't have. It's what you can do."


Let me help you there Otis; Otis (proper noun) please (adverb) resign. (verb) See there, Otis, you should have paid attention. Subject verb agreement is such a wonderful thing. That's what you should and can do.

(and people wonder why their children fail in school.)

QOTD - Holding your breath til you turn blue edition

“There’s a reality, but also there should be passion and common sense. We assassinated President John F. Kennedy. We assassinated Martin Luther King. And we assassinated Robert F. Kennedy — and we’re proud of that. That’s the answer to problems with a gun. That is not,” Daley said, again ladling on the sarcasm.


We, we, we, what? Did Tyrant Mayor Daley have a mouse in his pocket?

Awwww isn't the anti cute? Trying to make a point

I know enough not to feed internet trolls. But I can't help myself. Mo Rage, has provided me with some good chuckles.

He blogged about the recent shooting here in the St. Louis area. He called me out as being for the right to own an 'assault weapon' Yes I am for that right. However, this reply to commenter Sevesteen is too funny not to bring to the light of day.

I think it's only important to ban the 38 special, which kills, it's estimated 10,000 Americans each year and is almost solely designed for this purpose (holdups, to use a term), assault weapons, as I mentioned earlier, and hollow point, armor-piercing bullets, at the request of the police departments, nationwide, for their protection and safety.

Pretty radical, huh?

Yes, I think the 2nd Amendment puts some restrictions on the government, as other parts of our Constitution does, sure. I don't think it's relevant to most people's everyday lives but sure, yes.

My view of the world isn't shaped, like some cheap network TV show, by guns, day in and day out. I tire of the whole outlook. It's silly. It's absurd. It's not how most of us live, even here, in the US, where we have this ignorant, too-violent "cowboy culture".


So he wishes to ban the .38 special because it is solely designed for holding up various people. And it kills an estimated 10,000 people per year. So .38 special bad, .357 magnum, ok? I can imagine the Winchester .38 Special Ad, The Stick Up Round. Good for liquor stores, convenience stores and muggings. Not recommended for bank heists. Also, 'assault weapons,' not to put too fine a point on it, but I drive an 'assault' station wagon. It's ton plus of weight would work just fine in running someone over. And hollow point armor piercing bullets as well are mentioned. In all but the lightest weight body armor would a hollow point bullet be stopped. The Cop Killer bullet of Lethal Weapon fame is a myth.

My view of the world isn't shaped like some cheap network TV show either. it's shaped by knowing that someone, somewhere out there doesn't value my life as much as me. When I meet that person, I intend to give a good accounting of myself. I pray to live a long, relatively stress free life, but you never know.

Senacritter Claire McCaskill

You aren't doing it right dear. The idea is to spend everyone else's money for us Missourians.
Maybe you should have consulted with Ben Nelson and Mary Landrieu.

It's obvious they didn't consult their official guide

When the press reports that some thug enterprising young entrepreneur was shot and killed after being chased down by police, you'd think they would consult their official firearms guide found below. Because if you can't tell that it was an AK-47 then you're not an authorized journalist.

Gunnie Etiquette

In my attempt to be the Mr Manners of the 2nd amendment blogosphere, I bring you another edition of gunnie etiquette. and for reader Nick, a surprise.

So you bought that new gun and you wanna shoot it. You have the money but no inclination to buy ammo. Don't come crying to me when you can't find any. Oh, and if it's not a caliber I shoot, I don't know pricing for it. So please don't ask.

No, I won't reload your ammunition for you. That is why I am currently running a series of posts on the basics of reloading. It is to whet your appetite to try it yourself. I can lead a horse to water, but I can't make the horse drink.

When I offer to assist you with an issue you have, don't make me wait over an hour for you to show up. On two different nights. Seriously, some of us have better things to do than wait for you.

And for reader Nick I offer this.

Pre Range, Range, & post Range Etiquette

When your friends invite you to go to the range, politely take them up on the offer. Making Sarah Brady cry and Josh Sugarmann contemplate that bottle of rum and sleeping pills should be every gun owners goal.

Don't stare off into space all butt hurt because your friend won't sell you his ammunition that is readily available at the local store. If you can afford the gun, you can afford the ammunition.

When you are called again the morning of the range trip, don't wait until two hours after I've already left to ask if I'm already gone. Especially since I called and invited you a second time.

Don't shoot across lanes. It's impolite at best to shoot at someone else's target and not exactly safe.

Don't call me about how someone else treated you when you ask them a question. You're a smart person and google is your friend. Try 'disassembly of a Ruger 10/22' and see what you come up with.

Don't be the person who was called and then call me at 10:45 pm bitching about a stupid question. Especially when I told you I was heading for bed. Do I wear black and white striped shirts. Referee is not in my friend description.

Hopefully this tip from Top Manners will assist you.

The failure of the first of THE FOUR RULES

It is simple, really, every gun is always loaded and treated as such. For example

MPERIAL, Mo. | An eastern Missouri man is dead after accidentally shooting himself while teaching firearms safety to his girlfriend.

So this gentleman wished to show his girlfriend firearms safety. Good for him, right? Hang on


The shooting happened Friday. Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer told the station that according to witnesses, Looney was demonstrating how to use the different safety mechanisms on several guns. Witnesses told authorities that Looney would put the guns to his head, ask his girlfriend if she thought the gun would go off, then pull the trigger.

I'm confused, was he wishing to teach her firearms safety or how to play Russian Roulette?

The safety mechanisms worked for the first two guns. But the third gun fired. Looney died Saturday at a hospital.

Well, two out of three isn't bad, or in this case, it was for Mr. Looney.

Why, SIg Sauer do you mock those of the southpaw?

Why oh why? You build a gun, like the Mosquito that looks very much, if not identical to your large caliber handguns. It allows those on a budget to train with inexpensive ammunition. You were even thoughtful enough to provide for an ambidextrous safety on the gun. But, as I've stripped the gun down to the frame for it's very first full down scrubbing, I discover that the magazine release may be reversible. So, being the inquisitive guy that I am, I reverse everything around. Bonus points to you Sig for not making this an adventure in miniature tools. The grips are reattached, the slide put back in place, and voila, a magazine is inserted into.... Huh, what the? Why won't this go in all the way? A quick check down the magazine well reveals nothing protruding. A quick check of the magazine shows, ah there it is, the bump on the magazine for the magazine disconnect safety you've so thoughtfully provided. I understand you think I'm super bad ass and would drop my magazine in a scuffle with a bad guy so he can't shoot me without the mag in place. Thank you so much for looking out for me. No really, that's ok, I'll struggle through dropping magazines somehow.
