It Begins
I’m about halfway through Day 1 of the NRA Annual Meeting in Atlanta, and thought I’d take pause to share what I’ve seen so far.
When Opportunity Knocks...
When opportunity knocks, it might not be the door…it might be a window instead. The Overton Window, specifically.
Ghost Stories
Unserialized, homemade guns…ghost guns…aren’t really that scary once you understand how crimes are really solved.
No Respect
You know, national concealed carry reciprocity “don’t get no respect.” Donald Trump’s landslide is barely two weeks old, and some gun people are already doing what they do best…which is dumping all over an opportunity to possibly advance gun rights.
He Said, She Said
Come November 5th it’s an either/or choice, whether you like it or not. You’re getting either broccoli or spinach for dinner…not ice cream. You can pick one, or one will be picked for you.
Targets Don't Shoot Back
It’s a fair point. But if we’re going to accept the assumption that return fire makes it harder to score hits on target…then why would we insist that our schools be as defenseless as a USPSA stage?
Dream On
Wouldn’t it be awesome if we had national constitutional carry? The ability to carry a firearm in all 50 states, no permit required? Of course it would!
My Wallet's Been Stolen!: A Security Parable
Not every crime…even the most heinous…is an Ocean’s Eleven caper or some hexagonal conspiracy. Mostly, it’s just a criminal or nutjob taking advantage of an opportunity.
Double Standard
I do find it extremely interesting that Double Check doesn’t like their web presence scrutinized and held against them. Double Check? I say Double Standard.
Double Infringed
You could be 100% in compliance with the law, but a poor social score by Double Check could result in you being denied the right to purchase a firearm. Farming out your infringement to a private company doesn’t make it less of one.
This'll Only Take A Minute...
Breaking down my USPSA match from June 2024.
May-hem
Despite scores that weren’t as good as I would have liked (they never are)…I had just as much fun as anybody.
