The psychology of fear

Friday, September 28th, 2007

Don't let the title fool you, I'm not actually going to talk about psychology. In fact, I am in no way qualified to even act like I can. But, bear with me now, I think I might have a point to make. I am afraid of flying. If you know me, ...

Let’s all eat Oreos!

Friday, September 28th, 2007

Hmmm.. Read this. Guns don't kill people; people kill people. Well that is true, but the guns sure make it easier. The problem with this rationale is that you are trying to stop school shootings by putting more guns - the tool used for shootings - in the school, the place ...

Shameless self promotion

During this downtime, I'd love to point the handful of visitors I get to this blog, to another site that I get a handful of visitors on. That site is Michigunner.com.  It's a little forum site for Michigan gun owners. Yes, I know, there's already plenty of Michigan based gun ...

Say What?

Monday, September 24th, 2007

As I've had a nice weekend ignoring the internet, I need a little softball pitch of a blog entry to get back into the week. Bear with me on the lack of content. Friday night as I roamed the streets near my house pondering what kind of food to put in ...

Oh it’s that simple!

Apparently we all were thinking too hard about the teacher who wants to carry her concealed firearm at school. Luckily, someone explains it for us. What should she do? Easy enough...put a restraining order on her husband that will keep him away from the school. Oh! I was ...

If you need something done pay for it

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Rather disturbing news about the International Association of Chiefs of Police press conference held yesterday. Both David Hardy and Cam Edwards have the information that we truly need to know. It's funny that the Anti's run around claiming that gun owners refuse to compromise with them and find common ground, while ...

Let the system handle it

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

More opinion on the school teacher who wishes to carry a gun to school to protect herself. "If she is to the point where she sees carrying a gun as her only alternative, then the community and the systems that have been set up to protect all of us have failed," ...

Airbags do save lives

Talk about lucky. I was on my way back to the office and stopped at Burger King and bought a chicken sandwich and onion rings," the foreman for DJ's Painting in Vineland said Tuesday evening. "I started to choke on one of the onion rings and then I guess I just ...

It just went off

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

I should start a category called "Mind of its own" for stories such as this. How often do we hear that the gun "just went off"? A little too often if you ask me. Fire officials said a 50-year-old man was cleaning the weapon in his trailer when the rifle discharged. How ...

I’ll vote for yes

Ah.. the Christian Science Monitor, always the most unbiased source of gun news. Ok I'm not serious but this author does seem to attempt to show both sides of the argument without interjecting personal stance. Maybe I missed it.. but that's beside the point. He interviews "Jane Doe", the teacher who ...
