If it works as advertised, pretty damned impressive.

California-Approved Handgun Safe
Pretty much.
In New Jersey there’s a completely separate safe for the ammo that must be kept on the opposite side of the house.

Quote of the Day – Mad Mike Edition
Via email from Firehand, Michael Z. Williamson has today’s QotD:
First they came for the blacks, and I spoke up because it was wrong, even though I’m not black.Then they came for the gays, and I spoke up, even though I’m not gay.
Then they came for the Muslims, and I spoke up, because it was wrong, even though I’m an atheist.
When they came for illegal aliens, I spoke up, even though I’m a legal immigrant.
Then they came for the pornographers, rebels and dissenters and their speech and flag burning, and I spoke up, because rights are not only for the establishment.
Then they came for the gun owners, and you liberal shitbags threw me under the bus, even though I’d done nothing wrong. So when they come to put you on the train, you can fucking choke and die.

Or you can commit seppuku with a chainsaw. I really don’t care anymore. This is the end of my support for any liberal cause, because liberals have become anything but.
Go, Mike! (RTWT)
Quote of the Day – Arguing with Liberals Edition
From the first comment to this Newsbusters piece on Bill Maher:
Maher is a constant reminder that discussing anything with liberals is like playing chess with a pigeon……..they just crap all over the board and then strut in it as if they won something. — “chazzykc”

“Evil is the cure for incompetence.”
Yup, that’s pretty much the diagnosis.

Second Quote of the Day – Thomas Sowell Edition
Because this is my blog, and I can:
I can’t get excited by the question of whether Senator Robert Menendez had sex with a prostitute in Central America. It is her word against his — and when it comes to a prostitute’s word against a politician’s word, that is too close to call. — Thomas Sowell – Random Thoughts
OK. I Hadn’t Heard That One!
I received a joke by email (I know, who does that?) I thought I’d share:
When Bill and Hillary first got married Bill said, “I am putting a box under the bed. You must promise never to look in it.”
In all their 30 years of marriage, Hillary never looked. On the afternoon of their 30th anniversary, curiosity got the best of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the box were 3 empty beer cans and $81,874.25 in cash.
She closed the box and put it back under the bed. Now that she knew what was in the box, she was doubly curious as to why there even was such a box with such contents. That evening, they were out for a special anniversary dinner.
After dinner, Hillary could no longer contain her curiosity and she confessed, saying, “I am so sorry, Bill. For all these years, I kept my promise and never looked into the box under our bed. However, today the temptation was too much and I gave in. But now I need to know, why do you keep the 3 beer cans in the box?”
Bill thought for a while and said, “I guess after all these years you deserve to know the truth. Whenever I was unfaithful to you, I put an empty beer can in the box under the bed to remind myself not to do it again.”
Hillary was shocked, but said, “Hmmm, Jennifer, Paula and Monica. I am very disappointed and saddened by your behavior. However, since you are addicted to sex I guess it does happen and I guess 3 times is not that bad considering your problem.”
Bill thanked her for being so understanding. They hugged and made their peace. A little while later Hillary asked Bill, “So why do you have all that money in the box?”
Bill answered: “Well, whenever the box filled up with empty cans, I took them to the recycling center and redeemed them for cash.”
Quote of the Day – .gov Efficiency Edition
Stolen shamelessly from Sharp as a Marble, this comment by DustyDog:
If gun confiscation happens, it won’t be a shoot out. You’ll get 3 letters of advance notice filled with dire threats. Then a final warning (which will arrive a week late), and two late notices, full of threats. You’ll hear that the people running the database can’t keep track of how many weapons were turned it, so if you turn in anything and get a clean card, you’ll in the record as having no guns. So you drive to the location to find out it was misprinted on the form. You call and google, and find the right place. You’ll go through a humiliating pat-down for knives and drugs, but they won’t take the gun or ammo you have in your hands – that’s somebody else’s job; wait in line. You’ll wait in line all day long, to be turned away.
You’ll come back earlier tomorrow, wait all day, and turn in a gun.
When you turn in your gun, you get a receipt with no unique code. They throw your gun in a completely unsecure box, in an unsecure room. “It’s easier now. When the door was locked, the guns would pile up until there was no more room. Now, the boxes are always empty in the morning.”
The next week, you get a letter saying that due to a database crash, the government is not sure if you turned in your guns. You’ll be ordered to fill out a form, under threat of imprisonment. You’ll have the option of affirming that all your guns were turned in, or that they were not.
If you affirm, you’ll get the same letter every six months. If you refuse to affirm, you’ll go on a waiting list. Two to five years later, a guy with a high school diploma will show up to take your guns. You won’t need a gun to kill this guy, a ten-year old could beat this guy down. He won’t have your name right and the names of guns on his list won’t be the names of guns ever actually made; the records are obviously all mixed up. If you tell him your name is Juan and you’re renting from [you], he won’t be back for another 2 to 5 years.
That’s pretty much how Canada’s attempt at long-gun registration went, before they finally gave up.
