Snoqualmie Valley Rifle Club (SVRC) puts on USPSA like matches once a month during the summer (they wimp out from about October through March). I usually don’t go because I go to the steel matches at Renton on the same … Continue reading
Sean Flynn and I woke up at an obscene hour this morning and drove to Olympia Washington for the rally to oppose I-594. As you might imagine from the number of QOTDs he has provided and the numerous posts that … Continue reading
Sometimes when you are trying to teach someone something and they just aren’t getting it your student will say something and all of a sudden you realize what the problem is. Typically it is some fundamental assumption either the student … Continue reading
There was a book written nearly 40 years ago that sits on my bookshelf only partially read. I read about a third of it about 25 years ago and got bored with it. If I had the time I would … Continue reading
I have taken something like eight classes (and some of those were taken twice) from Insights. I have put my wife and kids through some of the classes as well. I have been very impressed with their training. Contrary to … Continue reading
[Mostly this is a rant because I’m pissed. I don’t particularly blame the NRA-ILA or any other pro-gun group. Political reality is significantly different from gut response. The following is 95% emotion and its to just get it out of my … Continue reading
The fact that it is legal does not make it moral. Jim Crow was legal, but it was not moral. Denying women the right to vote was legal, but it was not moral. Denying workers the right to organize was … Continue reading
A few minute ago the last of the FOIA requests went out and I sent the following email to my former employer: Subject: Corrections? I have created a new website, XXXX, that might be of interest to you. Before … Continue reading

This is in contrast to my usual type of gun cartoon because I was so annoyed about the cartoon I posted last night. Those people who claim “We’ve got to do something about guns!” and demand additional restrictions on the … Continue reading
At the “urging” of ubu52 I finally decided to elaborate a bit on an edgy meme I’ve been pushing for quite some time. I’ve been saying something to the effect that people advocating for or enforcing anti-gun laws should be … Continue reading
Kevin points out that the other side lies, extensively, even when actual numbers are easy to come by and their lies are easily exposed. He asks why do they do that. That is actually an easy question to answer. As … Continue reading
Yesterday Barb had lunch with me at one of the Microsoft cafeterias. As we were getting her a visitors badge I noticed the beer and snacks in the lobby that were stacked more than half way to the ceiling. “Oh”, … Continue reading
One of the problems with “compromise” (it’s not really compromise) on the “assault weapon” issue is the definition of an “assault weapon”. As we all know the Washington D.C. definition of machine gun includes essentially all semi-automatic handguns. The N.J. … Continue reading
Despite the increasing presence of Democrats such as Brian Schweitzer, Russ Feingold, Jim Webb, and Bill Richardson who are embracing our Second Amendment rights, it seems that gun policy for the Democratic Party is still being dictated by the likes … Continue reading
As pointed out by others (and here) Hillary wants a gun summit: “I believe we really should have a summit where everybody comes together on all sides of this issue,” Clinton said. “Let’s figure out how we can be consistent … Continue reading
As I mentioned a few days ago I went to an IPSC/Action Pistol match last Saturday. I got the results yesterday. For some reason everyone is listed as shooting Minor power factor. If they scored it this way then I … Continue reading
