Well, I hope folks enjoyed the Zombie Invasion.
In other news, I managed to get the large pile of trees and limbs from cleaning up the property all burned and disposed of. There are still more fallen limbs to drag out of the woods and a bunch which need to be trimmed back, but it's a [...]

We got a large group of them at about 3. The 30-06 ammo is mostly gone, but man, that rifle can shoot. I was taking them coming over the hill (250m), and once they got to the garage it just got easy. I've been loading AK mags during the slack times, but we've still got [...]

Found what to do with that .45ACP ammo. One of the neighbors is an avid hunter and has a .45 for home defense. I traded him 1000 rounds for about 500 more 12ga 00 buck shells which will work in the shotgun. The other neighbor doesn't shoot much, but they have a .22 and not [...]

For all the gamers (hat tip to
JPFO info on Red's Trading Post, a gun store fighting the BATFE. Their paperwork is 99.6% correct, with issues like not making sure that customers write “Yes” instead of “Y”. They have a blog here. Of interest here is the bullying tactics. The more they fight, the more [...]

Looks like they might pull the Tiahrt amendment from this year's funding bill
For those not in the loop on this, this amendment makes it illegal for the ATF to share results of gun traces with anyone not engaged in a bona-fide criminal investigation. So, if you find a gun at a crime scene, you can [...]

Pictures from Katie and Chris's wedding (finally, eh)
Let's see, what else…
Memorial day weekend was nice, I got to hang out with the twin nieces and rock them to sleep while everyone was around for the christening. Then we came back and did some yard work, which continued into the week. We've cleaned up the rolls [...]

This will be my last book stack post for a bit, since I want to catch up on periodicals (some serious, some frivolous). Last post was here
Added and removed from the stack:
Rebelfire 1.0: Out of the Gray Zone, Claire Wolfe and Aaron Zelman
This appeals to me, because I am a big fan of the near-future [...]
