Boulder City, Nevada is just a bit south of Las Vegas. It’s one of only two places in Nevada where gambling isn’t legal and until recently was also one of the few places where firearms not being carried with a concealed carry permit were required to be unloaded and cased – unless you wore a [...]

It’s been a while since we’ve had a “last post of the day” and it seems like a pretty good time for one tonight
I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but this has been one of my favorite songs since it came out. Good vs. bad, lawmen and outlaws, and good, old [...]

It’s safe to say the weather absolutely sucks today. It’s 48° and it’s been raining all day long. Plans had included a trip to the shooting park, but I had laundry to do and their website says they’re closed during inclement weather. Sure, I could go to an indoor range, but I’d rather not blow [...]

I would love to be able to blog about all the cool stuff I find online, but I really don’t have the time. It’s one of those things that seems to go by the wayside when you’re working two to four hours of overtime a night Therefore, I’m just going to dump some [...]

Four City of Lakewood, WA police officers were murdered today in a coffee shop frequented by law enforcement, regular Air Force and Army and area residents. There is a possibility that a suspect was wounded. The area means a bit to me and my family. My late in-laws were residents of South Tacoma and their [...]

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, and I won’t shut up as long as bullshit like this continues to happen. If I ever have kids, I’m going to raise them in some speck of a dot on a map in the middle of rural Nevada, Arizona, or Montana and I will home school [...]

So you think that the currently quadriplegic (and it’s a tragedy that this is the extent of his current disability) terrorist known as Nidal Hassan was just a “lone wolf” or an “anomoly” and that such a thing is a one time event which could never happen somewhere else?
Think again.

Make sure the duct tape’s wrapped securely around your head before you read further. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I don’t have much time, so I’ve got to make this quick.

But I ain’t goin’ anywhere near that island with the current lot in power. Not after stuff like this.
Fair warning – grab the duct tape and wrap a good bit of it around your head before reading this.

A grandfather was arrested at dawn and held in a police cell for six hours [...]

I’m still trying to think of what to say and how to say it. I’m shocked, appalled, and very angry at what happened and at the person who committed this act. I can’t find the words to express my sympathy for the families, friends, and colleagues of those we lost as well as those who [...]
