So besides reading gun stuff - I was reading a book about mushroom hunting and how fungi interact with the environment. They are very important to forest plant life and providing habit for various critters. In the book, the author cites a duck hunter who besides hunting has an interesting...

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/06/nyregion/06gun.html?ref=nyregion Interesting tactic - the fee for NYC is much, much higher than in other NY regions. Thus the 2nd Amend Foundation is suing that it is a deliberate impediment to obtaining such. It is also interesting that the fee doesn't go to...

Yamil Sued The International Defensive Pistol Association is pleased to announce that Yamil Sued will be joining us at the Inaugural World Championship, September 21 – 24, in Frostproof, Florida as the official Match Photographer - So is this ambiguous? I get it in the e-mailing from IDPA. I...

So I've been reading the parking lot - gun in car debate in TX as well as the open-carry debate. One point is that businesses fear liability of carry and thus want to ban it. Of course, in the debate on the TX forums, someone says - Well, wait till a business gets sued for not allowing carry...

Interesting case in my hometown. It is sometimes put forward on the Internet that the Castle Doctrine is an impenetrable forcefield and magic cure that protects you when you open fire. You can shoot someone in your house no matter what, you can shoot through doors at unknowns. Maybe the unknown...

These are new ones of the old Browning design. They are advertised in some business gun rags. Anybody see one? They would make a nice companion piece to my NAA 22S for tiny guns - just because!

I had to laugh. We like to watch both shows. However, I think the gun handling on L and O is horrible. About 5 times, I've seen them in about 4 shows have a hostage scenario. 1. Elliot is held hostage. Tells Olivia to take the easy shot. She talks and talks and finally shoots the bad guy in...

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/14/world/europe/14swiss.html?ref=world So by 57% Swiss voted to keep the guns at home. Take away points for us. 1. The urban/rural split 2. Concern about suicide and rampages - like here 3. The idea that army guns at home are unnecessary in their stable world...

Went to the gun show today. I saw the new NAA 22 topbreak. It was adorable. Stop me before I buy again. I love those little guys, just because!:D Then I scored a case of SW 32 Long FMJ. It is a bear to find. The price was at touch higher than the best internet prices - which also have an out of...

Reading The Gun by Chivers - very interesting book. In it, he mentions that the NY Times (so antigun) during the Draft Riots of the Civil War bought Gatling guns. The Times was pro-Republican and proUnion. When draft rioters wanted to attack the Times for their support of the war, the Times...

We had one of our rare ones. I could have done better but what fun. I also should learn to count. Got a penalty for not having downloaded a mag to 10! I had had 12. See - normally I keep the AR mags at 2 below. So I had a 20, I thought was 18 and took out 8 to get to 10. OOPS! A penalty. But...

Got a new friend. Left handed - don't like thumb straps. Not an IWB. So suggestions? Thanks. Glenn

Besides being a gun guy - I am a serious foodie - oh, the pants and IWB groan. But Anthony Bourdain did a review of his shows for the 100 th anniversary and made a special point of showing his shooting adventures and visiting Ted Nugent who made steaks for the show. Says he disagrees...

This is quite the hoot. Saw it in the NY Times this morning: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/21/books/21lawyers.html?ref=books It is a blog that discusses how superpowers would interact with the law. So would your secret identity be covered by privacy etc. So I followed the link. In the blog...

http://www.news10.net/news/article.aspx?storyid=113529&provider=top&catid=188 This pilot critiques the checks for airline staff and because of that he loses his gun that he carries as a pilot. He also loses his state CCW permit. Seems to me that this is a case that on the surface is a...

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/08/us/08uzi.html?ref=us Judge Will Allow Jurors to See Video of 8-Year-Old Being Killed by Uzi at Gun Show -- This interesting to me because of my interest in legal issues. There's strong evidence that exposure to weapons during trials primes negative ideation...

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/05/us/05knives.html?ref=us Interesting article on moves to rationalize knife laws that parallel some gun law debates: 1. A patch work of laws by localities that may be superceded by new state laws. 2. The dreaded automatic knife problem. Some police regard these...

Thought about this since Sunday. At our local match, we had a couple of stages where using cover was easy to screw up. OOPS for moi!! However, I noticed that lots of folks crowd cover. They lean against it and stick the gun out in front of cover. From my tactical (hahaha! I'm so tactical)...
