I’m Not Posting Here, But I Leave a Comment at the Volokh Conspiracy?

Couldn’t pass it up, seeing as the topic was about restoring the Constitution. They don’t often open comments on VC posts.

Now we’ll see if I draw any kind of response.

Now it’s 8:30 and I’ve got to get up at 4 AM tomorrow (again.) G’night.

UPDATE 1/7: The Geek with a .45 adds his $1.97. Wince and Grim leave comments at the original post also.

Alphecca Rips Off A Righteous Rant

Jeff has just a bit to say about how South Africa is implementing its new firearm permit system – a system remarkably like those “common sense” ideas we hear a lot about from The Brady Bunch et al.

Go read his Rant On Gun Control.

(What posting I do for a while will be of the linking persuasion. I haven’t had a lot of time to craft those Den Besteian-length opuses I tend towards.)

Too Tactical

JR of the Texican Tattler blog has posted an outstanding piece of humor pointed at the “tactical” crowd – the guys who run around in camoflage wearing drop-leg holsters and… other stuff. All the time. They’re a source of humor to a lot of us, especially on message boards like AR15.com. I posted a link to the piece there, and as of now it’s drawn over 2000 hits and 70 comments, all positive.

Who says gunnies don’t have a sense of humor about ourselves?

So please, take a few minutes and read Tactical Tommy Goes to the Store.



Beverage warning!

UPDATE: The author of the piece is “alduro” from the message board The High Road. He has some other peices in a similar vein, but this one I think, is the best. Thanks to Justin Buist for the pointer. Credit where credit is due!

Happy New Year, Everyone

And in honor of this occasion, I’ve updated my blogroll. Originally I intended to keep it short, trying just to list those blogs I read regularly, but so many people put me on their blogrolls I felt ungrateful not to reciprocate. So, I’ve divided it up into those blogs I read and recommend, and those people who I just can’t read regularly or I’d NEVER get anything done. (Please note, there’s no preference in the order to anything, it’s just the way I pulled each link off of Technorati, more or less. If you have me blogrolled and don’t see a link to your site, drop me an email. I don’t think Technorati gets everyone.)

Speaking of getting things done, this place is probably going to be quiet for a bit. I have three ongoing projects at work, two of which will have me out of town for significant periods this month. I’m at the “produce or die” point, so I must stop blogging and surfing and produce. I’m decompressing this last three-day weekend (when I really ought to be sitting at my desk doing work) but come Monday, it’s a**holes and elbows.
