    Audio of WVCDL Testimony on SB 417 Comment
    Greg, 5/16/08 9:40:30 am
    WVCDL President Jim Mullins and WVCDL Vice President Keith Morgan testify to the House Judiciary Committee on March 4, 2008, in opposition to a proposed casino carry ban that was contained in Senate Bill 417.
    Woo Hoo... Err... Comment
    Greg, 5/16/08 8:22:06 am
    Well, we finally received our "George Bush money"/"free money"/"vote buying money"/"tax rebate"... whatever you choose to call it. Good news right? Well, instead of Beth getting her Glock, she's getting her transmission rebuilt. Fun stuff, huh?

    Oh well, with any luck her Jeep will last another 10 years now.
    Rising Sea Levels Comment
    Greg, 5/16/08 7:28:23 am
    According to some pant-shitting cult-of-algore enviro-nazis parts of Florida may be submerged by rising sea levels.

    I can't tell from this map if my house would be under water, or if it would become highly-valuable waterfront property. It is quite possible that I'll end up with my very own island! So, call me up in 60-120 years... we'll have a beach party in my back yard!

    Of course, we all know this is complete nonsense, because the earth is really heading towards another ice-age, which will be much worse that anything Global Warming can do.
    Obama's Latest Stop Comment
    Greg, 5/16/08 7:14:04 am
    I mentioned the other day that Barack "He who shall not be middle-named" Obama is gonna be here in Tampa. Here are the details of his "rally".

    While I'd love to spend my evening listening to the nonsensical hopey-changey rants of an empty suit and raging socialist... I think maybe I'll just go to the range instead.

    He's Stopping Where? Comment

    Colbert and Helmke Comment
    Greg, 5/15/08 11:57:04 am
    Helmke said he considered whether he might be trivializing a serious subject by going on the show, but his concerns were outweighed by the chance to deliver his message to a younger audience that doesn't always get news from mainstream media.
    (Via Fort Wayne News Sentinel)

    I'd say if any political movement was in desperate need of the "Colbert bump" it is Helmke's. Of course, the Brady Campaign has always gone by the assumption that any press is good press. What amazes me is that, irrelevant as they are, they are still being offered a spotlight DAILY.
    Potential Newbies Comment
    Greg, 5/15/08 8:46:12 am
    PGP points us to some good work by VCDL members.

    Of interest to me is the offer of free training to the city council members. Remember folks, elected officials are worth 14 points! So if you have the opportunity to educate an elected official about gun safety for the first time, you will not only gain my deepest respect, but you will also be well on your way to winning a free range bag and some extra gear (for taking more newbies to the range!)
    Because Uncle Says Comment
    Greg, 5/15/08 8:26:07 am
    Play nice with the lefties. Just because they want to drive our country into economic ruin doesn't mean we can't use them as allies in the war on unconstitutional gun control.

    Turns out, Al Gore's environmentalist whacko mentor was also a doomsday prophet.

    Chicago is once again OK with torturing Geese.

    Now, as Fark says: "Residents can now eat all the goose liver they want in smoke-free restaurants."

    Hold on ein minuten bitte, Mayor Daley actually has the balls to overrule an insane, socialist nanny-stater? Who knew? The amount of respect I have for Daley just went from slightly less than zero slightly more than zero.

    When the most ardent Republicans won't vote for McCain yet progressives will, it's a clear indication we're all fucked.

    I Have a Solution Comment

    After the first illegal scrap metal collector is strafed by an A10 Warthog, intrusions onto the training grounds should diminish quickly.
    QoTD: Calibers Comment
    Greg, 5/13/08 12:52:55 pm
    ...it's not like .32ACP is the Hammer of Thor, either.
    From Tam commenting on Caleb's new gun.

    I dunno. If you think about it, most people consider the 9mm to be adequate. The .380 is just a short 9mm, so its gotta be dang close, right? The .32 is just an itty bit smaller than the .380, so there can't be that much difference. If you follow that "logic", then you might come to the conclusion that the .25 is sorta-kinda-almost adequate.

    Besides, it was designed by Saint John Moses Browning, so it can't be a bad thing, right?!?

    Regardless of what .45ACP bigot Jeff Cooper says about the cartridge, a .25ACP in your hand is better than a .50AE in your safe.

    Do You Miss Football Season Too? Comment
    Greg, 5/13/08 11:25:14 am
    Well, my friends over at WMITC keep the college football discussion going in the off-season, so you can keep getting that fix you so desperately need.

    For instance, in the latest article, the discussion is about the BCS system. Since we aren't worried so much about who's winning the Big East, and whether or not Michigan will ever beat Ohio State... why not discuss fixing the BCS? It is something we normally wait until bowl-game season to bitch about.
    "Want to accurately reduce a field of well over 100 football teams to 2, using only a roided-up game of Madden and a group of biased judges? Hey, that’s quite a fantasy you have there. Even MacGyver didn’t manage that one. But don’t worry. The BCS is here to entertain you."
    Who Needs A Gun? Comment
    Greg, 5/13/08 11:13:22 am
    Don't you think for one second this can't happen to you. I carry a gun because there are assholes everywhere. Some of them are willing to threaten your life, or worse. The victim did the right thing in refusing to let the thug enter his house... once inside, he and his wife would surely have been victims of much worse crimes. A better response would have been to send the thug and his buddies to the morgue. This time, thankfully, they ran when the cops were called. Next time, and there will be a next time, the situation could end much worse.
    Barrack Assuming He Has The Nomination Comment
    Greg, 5/13/08 7:12:25 am
    By showing up in Florida. Since there is clearly no need for him to campaign here during primary season, this can only be read: "Hillary Who? Oh yes, now I remember her. She used to be running for president, right?"

    You'll also notice that the hysteria for the ObaMessiah has even crept into the Gunshine State.
    "He is coming! He is! We will see Barack Obama in Tampa next week,"
    Woah, like, totally! You'd think he was sharing a stage with some popular teenage boy band. I'm just dying to see screaming girls throwing their underwear at him.

    I gotta say, though, I approve of how Mario Diaz ended the article:
    Answers are what may be desired, but a campaign speech is what they'll get.
    Heh. Duh.
    WVCDL Interview Comment
    Greg, 5/13/08 6:17:14 am
    WVHU's interview with Jim Mullins of WVCDL is now online in mp3 format. (WVHU Archives)

    Its a decent interview where Jim discusses, among other things, the WVCDL PAC's endorsements for today's election. Give it a listen, especially if you live in the Mountain State.
