I guess noone here believes in the whole "unwilling participant" test. There's nothing in MN law about being an "unwilling participant". That's something Joel put in his book, based on something Massad Ayoob used in some of his classes. It's a moderately accurate summary of an a...

As I said, in general, people should NOT go running after muggers if they are carrying. In general, chasing after a criminal is not wise. But it's not illegal. To chase someone down and kill him, after he no longer represents a threat, is illegal. To follow him for any other purpose is perfectly le...

I don't see an option for: * We should never have stopped our traditional practice of allowing every service member leaving active duty to take his personal weapon home with him, and to make up for that we should retroactively issue every veteran with a military weapon of current manufacture. Or: * ...

Doesn't matter what you do, you'll always have too much zucchini.

I've been working on bread, lately.

Flour, water, yeast, and salt.

Maybe it's just me, but I've not seen a lot of criminals running around open-carrying.

Or carrying concealed in a proper holster, either.

I bet they would have been hit with criminal charges in MN. Shouldn't they be? Even if someone robs your place, should you be allowed to hunt them down and kill them? Yes? Crime is not only a complete disavowal of the social contract, but also a commandeering of the victim's person and liberty. If ...

There's a saying among computer professionals - security by obscurity isn't.

Yeah, I've got it on DVD, so apparently I was curious enough to actually pay money for it. It's been a several years since I watched it. I remember one of the special features on the DVD is an interview with the then owner of Bill's Robbinsdale. They didn't hire anybody super knowledgeable as a gun...

Does anyone remember a film called Bill's Gun Shop ? Has anyone seen it? I heard someone say it was local, filmed up in Robbinsdale, so a couple of years ago I stuck it in my Netflix queue. I've been watching past seasons of The Big Bang Theory , and I guess I was a little lax about queuing up the n...

I only care whether he will be an effective advocate for small government principles. Whether from conviction or from political opportunism makes no difference to me. You give him too much credit. He's neither a believer nor an advocate. I'm not giving him any credit at all. All I've done is to exp...

I hope none of this crap is true about Rick Perry....but me afraid some of it actually is..... I don't care whether he hangs out in strip clubs. I don't even care whether he's a true believer in small government principles. I only care whether he will be an effective advocate for small government p...
