This – if nothing else – illustrates the Left’s utter disdain for gun owners and sportsmen, truth and honesty, and their complete lack of character and integrity. Breeding shows…

That they would create this empty “tool” of an organization – and then expect folks to fall for it – is contemptible beyond my ability to express.

HEY, UNCLE B! Electrician just called; he wants to install that ground now, so I’m headed home. Don’t bother trying to reach me at the office for a couple of hours.

Yes. I do feel stupid leaving messages via my blog.

Shut up.

… Maryland’s Eastern Shore and shooting a duck, then cleaning it, cooking it and eating it.

Uh, I think he’s a bit confused: sounds more like he’s been shooting fish in a barrel.

Yes. I do feel stupid leaving messages via my blog.

Well, at least you have a loyal readership to leave messages to…Oh, wait…

Yeah, I linked the This Ain’t Hell piece too on Saturday, I’ll be adding this post to today’s links as a followup today.

A house just isn’t a home without a good ground!

Meh. My next door neighbor caught me to tell me they got burglarized.

Shit.

This illustrates the left’s preference for wearing dresses.

Speaking of hunting…a few weeks back, we were driving through the subdivision up from ours, and saw a gorgeous falcon – not sure what kind, probably a merlin – standing on the dove he caught in someone’s driveway. I’ve not seen one that close before standing all majestic. Very cool.

Sorry to hear that weasel. When did it happen, during the day, while at work, or while they slept?

Seems like they watched the place pretty carefully. He had to work an unusual second shift, his wife was away and the burglars arrived in the window, some time before nine at night. They just took jewelry and cash. I’m thinking…one of their kids, but a house behind was hit at the same time.

I hope they had a peek in my windows and thought, “damn, this place is EMPTY.”

Gun Ban = Obama & American Hunters & Shooters Assoc.

PILE ON!

Pile! Pile like the wind!

pnb: You like to see a predator standing over a helpless dove? Aviophobe! Paxophobe! Noahsarkophobe!

Leftist trying to pull the wool/hood (I forget which it is) over our eyes? The deuces, you say!

I don’t trust a word that comes from a Leftist’s mouth. Even “the” or “and”. (And I don’t trust many Rightists either.)

pnb: You like to see a predator standing over a helpless dove? Aviophobe! Paxophobe! Noahsarkophobe!

Oh, but he was beautimous. And it was a clean kill that he finally flew off with.
There are plenty of hawks around here, but I have never seen a falcon before.

Yeah – predation can be beautiful too! That po’ li’l dove is going straight down someone’s gullet to sustain life. Nothin’ wrong with that. there are plenty more doves where that one came from.

Heh – I was hopin’ they’d release some wolves back into blue states. What’s a few lost Liberal toddlers more or less? Small price to pay for wolf beauty.

Oh, dear. Google tells me I’m the #1 hit for “John McMcain canidate platform” — like that, with “McCain” and “candidate” misspelled.

Now’s my chance to mess with the illiterate Republican vote.

As opposed to the insane libertarian-leaning conservative vote I usually get to mess with.

Sorry to hear that about your neighbors.

Burglaries would go down if every burglar thought there was a good chance of having a chunk of lead plow through his brainpan. But, as you said, these guys planned well.

Nice that this hunter feels good about shooting a defenseless duck (I’m not a duck-squeezer, I shoot ’em and I eat ’em) but is also fine with leaving his fellow citizens in the lurch self-protection-wise by trying to ban handguns. Rifles and standard-length shotguns are not the easiest things to roam around the house with in self-defense, especially if the bad guy doesn’t give a rat’s ass about handgun laws for himself.

Damn – you always get the best strange Google hits, Weaz.

I hope you’re cuddling up with you 357 every night, Weaz, and I hope you’ve got copkiller Teflon coated dum-dum mercury-tipped explosive rounds in it too. Nothing exceeds like excess!

As the Beatles(?) once told us all, Happiness is a Warm Gun.

Just think – with the brand new finish on your hardwood floors, the burglar blood won’t hardly soak in or stain anything! And the bwains will just wipe off – especially with Bounty paper towels – the swiffer-picker-upper! Keep plenty handy.

You know, after I moved everything downstairs, I didn’t even bother to reload my Burglar Cannon. I’ll fix that tonight. I take some comfort that they made an effort to break in when the neighbors weren’t home. I take some comfort from the idea it would probably be hard to break into this house quietly, mostly because I’ve neglected my storm windows so egregiously they’d probably fall apart to the touch.

You planned that storm window neglect with this very thing in mind! How cunning of you, Weaz!

Load up some Butt Blasters, Stoaty! The sound alone should clear out their bowels for days.

A good, beefy .357 magnum produces a muzzle blast sphincter factor of about 9.5, depending on barrel length. That’s enough to crumple seat-cushion leather.

I think a shotgun is pretty good for home defense, for two reasons:
1. You don’t gotta aim real good, especially in the dark.
2. You don’t have to worry about a stray bullet going through your wall into your neighbors house. (My neighbor is like ten feet away)

One more bonus: Racking it is a pretty universally known sound that signals to burglars it’s time to go.

On the down side, you’ll have a hell of a mess to clean up.

The left has tons of these fake organizations with impressive sounding names and logos, why doesn’t the right do it? The Homeless Advocates of America endorses John McCain! The Organization of Emergency Physicians endorses the Republican Party’s health care plan!

Chris, is now the time to make the old joke, “There are some things even a (R) politician won’t do.”

Bmac – you have about all the points, IMHO. One other one is that it is an historical fact that every single person who has ever argued with a shotgun has lost, and is now dead.

I didn’t even bother to reload my Burglar Cannon. I’ll fix that tonight.

Need to get yer some Buffalo Bore rounds fer yer hand cannon.

Make quite a bit more noise than most regular rounds.

“every single person who has ever argued with a shotgun has lost, and is now dead”

Strange coincidence, that.

My worry is not stopping power or deterrence or anything to do with the firearm. My big worry is — not to put too fine a point on it — me. Groggy, not sure of what’s going on, in the dark. And, you know, years of safety training on a prissy urban indoor range haven’t helped. I swear, self-defense-wise, I was better off before I ever saw a round spang off a metal target holder. Ricochet scares me.

If I had all the time in the world to assess the situation…no doubt in my mind the world is better of with one more Weasel and one less burglar. But you don’t get all the time in the world and I make bad decisions on the fly.

[…] Stoaty on astroturf: I have guns sticking out all over my body. When I open my mouth, guns fall out. On hot Summer days, guns ooze out of my pores. I shit guns, I swear to god.

I have just made a Spam and onion pizza. If you do not know why this is Teh Awesome, then you are dead to me. No, srsly. I don’t even want you reading this moronblog, not counting all you…

HOLY SHIT! A MALKINLANCHE!

Woohoo! You made the Big League(s)!

By the way, Noreen of Emerald Bile has a new post up.

See-dub brings the love.

Sah-weet.

(this was funny as hell toots. good on ya)

Yes. See-dub brings the love. Weasels know this, and are grateful.

Ooooo….the snarktastic weasel. The best kind.

Weaz! You’re all over the blogosphere! Yes!

The Malkin has a soft spot for pro-firearms snark, and you struck gold!

Although my “Buffalo Bore” suggestion was partly in jest, there is a serious side to it as well. As you note, it’s likely to be a situation where we are not at our best…so if I’m gonna miss, I wanna miss LOUDLY. And the Buffalo Bore rounds are as loud as it gets.

Heinlein said something along the same lines, EW: “Get a shot off fast! That usually startles your opponent enough so you can take your time and make the next one count.”

That’s why I like .44 magnum. It throws out a nice chunk of lead – and it’s louder’n hell – especially indoors!

I’ve joked with my friend that if I had to shoot at someone inside the house with my .44 magnum even if I missed them there is a good chance of setting them on fire from the blast 🙂

That’s right, Aazygos! I used to reload a lot, and found that about 22-23 grains of Winchester 296 powder gave me about a 6-8 foot flame out the barrel. It was friggin’ mighty!

So if I miss I still blind ’em and burn ’em to make it easy for the police to find them.

“I love when lefties play pretend ‘winger: they’re so delightfully tone deaf.”

In contrast, it’s ridiculously easy to pass as a leftie. All you have to do is imagine the most ridiculous, nonsensical, condescending, authoritarian Marxist crap that you can; then quadruple it.

I got my wife a S&W 442 Airweight .38SP+ for concealed carry because we had a stalker issue: but she won’t use it because it puts out a pretty impressive fireball for a 2″ barrel.

I figure blind, on fire, and deaf: sounds like a good description to give the deputy to me.

The disadvantage with having a fireball weapon is you can dazzle yourself if firing at night. (My W296 recipe was blinding!) So if you can’t see your target clearly go ahead and shoot, but close your eyes just before firing so you keep your night vision. The opponent gets dazzled – which takes all the fight out of them – and you keep your night vision in case another shot is necessary.

bmac: “On the down side, you’ll have a hell of a mess to clean up.”

Uh, yes. Probably the creepiest skin-crawling example I saw was 12 gauge magnum loads in a short-barrel (18.5 inches) Mossberg vs. a gallon milk jug of water at short range. It would leave a HUGE mess. And ruin all that nice painting you’ve been doing, Weas. Or accentuate it. Your call.

I’m racking my brain trying to recall the make/model of an 8-shot .357 revolver I read about not too long ago… yes, 8-shot. Oh yes, Model 327 S&W… I’ll post it.

[…] 22, 2008 by Lemur King Congrats Weas, quite an honor!  A banner day.  Damn, woman!  That’s so […]

LK – the 8-shot 357 came up over at Enas’ place a couple months ago, I think, or right here at Weasels about the same time.

There is info at the S&W site somewhere…

Do frakking what? This is PURE insanity, and I’m ready to hit the reset button. I would use extreme profanity in that direction, but to what purpose? 180 gr of .308 goodness @ 2900 fps would be significantly more apropos.

My apologies all, as I wasn’t here a few months ago. Whups. Well, you can’t have too much of a good thing. Or can you?

“PURE insanity” … ? … I know it’s 2:30am but still… Huh?

Heh. Maybe cmblake6 is referring to my “close your eyes before firing” comment! It does seem insane. But it works.

Or is he referring to the Liberal faux-gun/sportmans club?

Whats insane, cmblake6? We have so many possibilities…

Oh, I’ll tell you what’s insane! Did you know the US is in a trade dispute with China over…wait for it…wait for it…REFRIGERATOR MAGNETS!?

That’s right. We’re accusing China of undercutting the American refrigerator magnet market by selling below fair market value.

Shitting you? Nay! I just heard it on the radio!

I do like me some cheap magnets on the refrigerator. Now watch the guvment screw it up for me.

Accusing China of poisoning us with lead would be so culturally insensitive. Maybe lead poisoning and arresting monks is the Chinese way of saying “I luv yu”. Might as well go for magnets.

So we have a Strategic Magnet Gap! Oy.

For Americans and British: a cartoon by Michael Ramirez; go here and click on the one with Churchill.

I’ve been meaning to write Michael Ramirez a fan letter. A conservative editorial cartoonist is rare enough, but he’s also a good draughtsman…which is rare among cartoonists, these days.

More on the US and our incipient magnet crisis.

I might reveal myself as prejudiced but I was pleasantly surprised that a Hispanic would be a stalwart champion of conservatism in the cartoon world. Most non-whites are under great pressure to kow-tow to the Left.

On that note, I follow very few cartoons or cartoonists because of how they constantly inject politics into it and not in a way that I find amusing.

Ramirez is one reason I’m doing a trial for Investor’s Business Daily. I might even subscribe, high though the price may be.

Trade wars over magnets. A sticky business, that. China makes a really attractive target right about now, as well. They are fielding complaints all over the place right before the Olympics and I’m having a great laugh. Yes, it is insanity.

Just put too much sugar and honey on my Lucky Charms for breakfast. It’ll wear off.

Ramirez’s Cheryl Crow ‘toon is dated but good. Another one he did is fantastic and I’m posting it. It strikes a very personal chord.

I met Ramirez. Not only is he conservative, funny, and can draw, he’s a really nice guy.

Cool, See-Dubya. It’s always nice to know. It’s terrible when you meet somebody you admire and he or she is a ripe asshole.

Oh — and thanks for the link love 😉

This Ray Schoenke has been on radio ads for Obama here in Virginia on WRVA; touting his pro gun organization and his being a former Washington Redskin.

I know he sounded fishy, a gun rights guy voting for Obama is like a Chicken voting for Col. Sanders.

Hiya, Wayward Son. Shameless, isn’t it?

I saw a Google hit on this article. I wondered who it was. It’s funny…I see people ask Google questions, and I just itch to answer them directly. But, of course, by the time I see the hit, they’re long gone.

So, for the record, YES: eagles eat weasels (if they can catch them). NO: weasels are not endangered. We’re quite widespread and healthy, in fact. WHAT DO WEASELS LOOK LIKE? Gorgeous.

Honestly — as long as it isn’t controversial, try Wikipedia.
