The Smallest Minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. – Ayn Rand
OK, I’m officially signed up – Position 26. Saturday Field Fire and Saturday High Intensity shoot, Saturday dinner, and Sunday Long Range event. Room reservations at the Konkolville Motel are made for Friday through Sunday.
Still need a co-shooter/spotter.
And I really need to start working on my .300 WM loads!

Looks like I just finished another epic comment exchange over at Quora. I’ll give Matthew Heminger credit, he held on longer than most, but then he’s a self-confessed hypocritical gun owner in favor of controlling other people’s guns.
Whew. Glad that’s over.
I’m seriously considering attending Boomershoot 2016, which is April 22-24 this year. Unfortunately DC, my shooting buddy, can’t make it this year. I need somebody to share a slot with and to trade spotting duties. I’d also like to trade off on driving and split the fuel costs. It’s a two-day drive from Tucson to Orofino, ID. I could pick somebody up in or near Phoenix or Salt Lake.
Anybody interested?
For your enjoyment!

Needs another stanza, I think!
Here are the lyrics:
Flintlocks and Flop-tops
And Number Three Russians
Black-powder Mausers
From jackbooted Prussians,
Shiny Smith PC’s from limited runs
These are a few of my favorite guns.Socketed bay’nets
On Zulu War rifles,
Engraved, iv’ried Lugers
That make quite an eyeful
Mosin tomato stakes sold by the ton
These are a few of my favorite guns.Rusty top-breaks!
Smallbore Schuetzens!
And all of Browning’s spawn
I just keep on browsing my favorite guns
Until all my money’s gone.
Thank Kelly Grayson for the video and Bonnie Burgette for the vocals.
Remember when Harvey said “They are going to wish they weren’t alive after I’m done with them”?
Guess he’s got bigger fish to fry at the moment:
The Weinstein Brothers Have Oscar Gold. Now They Need Cash.
While a decent filmmaker, it would appear that Harvey’s not much of a businessman.
Imagine that.
And not a mention of the anti-NRA film in the NYT piece.

He’d win by a landslide.
Howard Tayler of Schlock Mercenary comic fame is finally publishing the entire list of his 70 Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries (my favorite of which is Maxim 11: Everything is air-droppable at least once.) If you bought a copy of his upcoming role-playing game, you get a copy of the book. If not, you had to wait for his annual calendars for twelve new Maxims each year. No calendar this year, though. You have to wait for the book. But he has given out two new ones, (along with the original 51) and Maxim 64 is today’s Quote of the Day:
An ounce of sniper is worth a pound of suppressing fire.
