Big Paw Prints


I leave home for a weekend, and my Sweetie starts consorting with bears! Apparently, B'rer Bear is awake and checking and checking out the Secret Hidden Bunker where, yes, it is still snowing. The other foot is my anonymous Sweetie's. Of course, the other print might be a Yeti, which would erxplain why my rimfire ammunition keeps disappearing...Yetis are big rimfire shooters...of course you knew that...

And speaking of big paw prints (how's that for a cheesy transition?) I had dinner at Breda's blogger dinner last night with attorney Alan Gura — fascinating guy! Glad he's on our side. I also talked a bit with Alan Gottlieb of the Second Amendment Foundation, who asked me to head up a panel at the 2010 Gun Rights Policy Conference in September on Gun Culture Ver. 2.0.

Also planning to me with Dave Kopel later this morning...oddly enough, Dave and I live near each other, but we're never in town at the same time.

Gunwise, I going over to Tactical Solutions for see the production version of the Glock .22 caliber conversion unit, then stop by S&W. I'm actually going to get a chance to walk the floor later today! The one thing I missed big time yesterday was Steven Hunter and Major John Paster's standing room only talk on modern sniping. Of course, both Steve and John are friends...I talked to John briefly yesterday, and hopefully I'll bumble into Steve sometime today.

Okay, off into the fray...even though all I can think of is arming bears...wow, what a crappy pun!

  1. There's nothing wrong with arming bears. I think everyone should arm bears.
    BTW, my wife's nickname for me is Bear.

    The Breda Fallacy is a daily read.

  3. It's in the bill of rights, "The right to keep and arm bears", and then something about not putting the bear in a fridge. Hopefully, your Sweetie doesn't have a new kept bear as a pet when you come back.

    I think it is John PLaster...

    Yes, if his talks are as good as his books, you missed out big time!

  5. Congrats about the panel invite for the Gun Rights Conference --- I'm sure there's deep psychological purpose for holding the conference in San Francisco, regardless it grates me that attendees will be contributing to the coffers of one of the most restrictive gun control cities in the United States....

    any Sasquatch worth his salt, pockets a Remington derringer in 41rimfire....has a holster with a SAA and totes a Henry rifle both in .44 Henry rimfire....

    ....only minor Yeti carry .22 and 17 rimfire weapons.

  7. What did you think of the Tactical Solutions Glock 22 conversions?
