Notes From the Gun Safe: 4/15

Happy Get Bent Over By the Gubbermint Day!!!!

(no, that's not right)

Happy Buy a Gun Day!!!!
I'm going to pop over to the closest boomstick haberdashery at lunch and see if anything grabs my attention. I may have to wait until tax bribery... er... rebate arrives to actually pay for it, but I'll put some cash down on anything that strikes me fancy.

Be sure to share your BAG purchases. Gun pron is the best kind.

Wal-Mart sucks.
As all of you have likely heard, Wal-Mart has entered into a union with Mayor Mike Bloomberg's anti-gun cabal.

The highlights: Wal-Mart will keep a registry of guns sold, Wal-Mart will track firearms used in crimes, if you buy a gun from Wal-Mart (and it is stolen and used in a crime) Wal-Mart will deny you further purchases, and all gun sales will be videotaped and saved for future tracking.

I have never liked Wal-Mart. Many ghunnies defend the corporate asshat due to their policy on allowing CCW where ever legal and their decent prices on ammo.

Don't care. Tired of it. Local gun shops are worth the extra couple bucks.

Sebastian has all the contact info (and a much more polite letter than I would write) for your convenience.

What is the right response?
Hecate picks up the question posed here after the Nebraska Furniture Mart hostage drill...

What would be the proper response for an armed citizen in that situation?

While many focused on what they would do, Hecate puts the focus on the right question: What would be legally and morally correct?

She raises some good points and gives the Just.One.Person Nation some more food for thought.

Good thing I already quit
'Cause if I didn't, I'd be fired soon.

My wife wanted to get a 2nd gen iPod for her brother. I cut a deal that he could have mine, if she'd help finance an upgrade for me to a 3rd gen.

So, now I sit here at a job I hate, where I have few things to really do, and have a video iPod with every episode of "Firefly" on it....

Yeah, there will be no more work accomplished in my last 14 hours and 20 minutes as an employee here.

"Jayne! The man they call Jayne!"

Short break in store for The Shack
Tomorrow is the last day at the old job from Hell.

Expect the usual mindless blathering tomorrow, but there will probably be a short hiatus until Monday when the JOGI begins. I have couple of days off, which may allow some blogging, but there are a scad of fires that need extinguishing.

Dogs to the vet; Death, Murder, Mayhem Symposium; laundry; bathroom remodeling; range time (weather permitting); haircut; sleep; and whatever else Mizz Merchant comes up with.

For my geek friends
Battlestar is back. And it is awesome.

Seriously, who's the fifth mystery Cylon?

Oh, and check out the BSG page over at SciFi's Web site. I want the poster version of their play on DaVinci's last supper. (HEY! Where's my sweetie? Where's Callie?)

Does Caprica Six as Jesus (and Baltar as Peter/Mary Magdaline) help us understand where Moore/Eick are taking this season?

Hint: It plays perfectly into my theory on what the BSG crew will find on Earth.
