Moms Shoot Free!

Bowling Pin match, Sunday May 13.

Yes, that’s Mother’s Day.

Usual place, the Tucson Rifle Club action range.

Time: 8:00 AM sign-up, first rounds downrange about 8:20

Handguns only: .22 rimfire, centerfire revolver (.38 caliber minimum), semi-autos (9mm minimum).

You’re welcome to shoot your revolver against the semi-auto crowd, but we think it’s more fun to shoot wheelgun-vs.-wheelgun.

Cost: $10 for the first gun, $5 for any additional guns. Moms shoot free! Bring about 100 rounds for each. (Gun, not Mom.) You probably won’t need ’em all unless you’re really good at missing fast.

Hope to see you there!

Lasik

I am myopic and suffer from astigmatism.  I am also presbyopic, which would normally mean my arms are too short, but in my case just means I can’t read in dim light anymore.  I’m tired of it.  I want to get my eyes fixed.  Lasik can’t fix presbyopia, but it can fix myopia and astigmatism.  I can always wear cheap reading glasses.

So, who has had Lasik surgery, and what was your outcome?  I really want to know.

“Fill Your Hands….”

Damon from York Arms sent me a picture tonight of my new AR-15 receiver in progress:

It’ll look better, he says, after it’s been anodized. I think it looks cool as hell already.

Note the caliber and custom serial number.

UPDATE: The upper is on order. Now I just have to wait three months….

Quote of the Day – Lawdog Edition

Personally, I think Loyalty Day should follow in the footsteps of our ancestors and involve fire. A Big Fire. A Big Fire in front of various State and Federal Capitals, and involving the ceremonial burning of effigies. Dancing and flowers mandatory; drinking and partying encouraged; and fertility rites optional.

To my mind I’m thinking that watching papier maiche versions of themselves burned at the stake every year would go a nice way towards reminding various political critters of where their loyalties better damn-well stay.

Can I get an “AMEN!”?
