Just called the Pahrump Wal-Mart to confirm they have my ammo. 16 boxes of 100 rds. Whoot! Working down my list of final things to get done before tomorrow. I’d actually planned on working tomorrow since we don’t leave till 9 PM, but I’ve got stuff to do and decided to take it off. Went…

Sport Utility Rife
Snowflakes in Hell wrote a post condemning inaccurate names for rifles, specifically Assualt Rifles. In it he said: So what’s the best thing to call an AR-15? Homeland defense rifle?

How To Add Text Highlighting To Your Blog
You may have noticed in a few of my posts I’ve started using a yellow highlighter to point out the important things. I got the idea from the 37 Signals guys. At first I just used a span tag with a style:color:yellow. I knew from the beginning this wasn’t the best way to do it….

Gunnies 2007
I was searching around for a list of gun bloggers – which I found at Truth Laid Baer – and run across Contertop’s post about the 2006 Gunnies or Gun Weblog Awards. Since I know Countertop is one of the 10 people who read this blog, I’ll ask the logical question: Where’s the 2007 Gunnies?…
