    What Are You Reading

    Finished up Dan Brown's "The Terror" after putting it down for a bit. Not sure about it, liked the historical part of the fiction at least. Back to school books for a bit.

    I looked on Amazon, looks like it is out of print but used copies are available. I'll track it down.

    What Are You Reading

    Just finished Turtledove's "Hitler's War" Speculative fiction of the war kicking off in '38 (with no party having time to gear up) after Chamberlain decides to support Czechoslovakia rather than appease Hitler. Starting on his "The Man With The Iron Heart" which has Heydrich surviving and...

    The very foundation of classical liberalism, the individual and their rights have absolute primacy. Freedom is the default for the individual. Whatever is not expressly forbidden is expressly permitted. Conversely, regulation is the default of government. Whatever powers are not...

    Criminal law, on both sides of the aisle, is all about finding a story that fits the facts and selling that story to the jury. That's why I find it so fascinating. I gather from the tape Bryant had a passenger, depending on what Bryant's story is his/her testimony will be crucial for the...

    C-dot, Not knowing the details of Canadian law I'd guess that Bryant will tell a story something like this. After hitting Sheppard with his car for whatever reason he'll give and then driving away, Bryant will claim he was afraid of physical attack from the younger, fitter man (who had...

    UK Law and Replica Guns

    Colin Greenwood is the British policeman and scientist who, in 1972, wrote what remains the definitive study of gun crime in the UK. It's titled "Firearms Control". He has written several follow-up articles and papers since. For anyone interested in the history of British "gun culture" and...

    UK Law and Replica Guns

    Since you don't have to worry about recoil you could probably either look for a functional (cheap) laser on an airsoft website (can't imagine a mountable laser would be prohibited) or dress up a regular laser pointer. Pipe clamps are just clamps after all. We'll need pictures in any event.

    Guy on another forum bought this at a thrift store as a light jacket. Is it foreign mil? http://www.armedpolitesociety.com/index.php?topic=21388.0

    UK Law and Replica Guns

    Hey, no politics. Yes, I know who started it. The laws are what they are and if people in a country don't like them they can go about changing them. Edward, I think the LeMat will look sweet. Do you think the law might let you add maybe a brass tube as a scope or some other brass...

    In the interest of expanding your reading list if nothing else, I suggest reading a book titled "Actual Innocence" about the Innocence Project here in the US. Even with the best of intentions the system, any system, can fail and frighteningly often those that "get what's coming to them"...

    Essential Books every Gentleman Should Have?

    I was thinking about this the other day. I have a list of books, adventure stories and the like, that I will be reading or giving to read to my nephews to help give them examples of what real manhood is and examples of character to model themselves on (or warn against). Call it the "young...

    Show us your Guns!

    Bell dissected a LOT of elephant skulls (he had enough available as we've seen) to find the proper aiming points for a brain shot from any given angle with the light rifle. Minimum caliber regs are an attempt to counteract the tendency of some folks to read the "what" and not put in the time...

    Vintage Concealed Weapons

    On the M3, for anything remotely leather/vintage I'd go custom. Most of the smaller manufacturers are willing to do a one off (that they might be able to turn into a catalog item). Not going to be cheap but beats one solution I've seen, a belt clip with a rail to clip the light to until you...

    If his addiction is gambling then even small stakes should sate it. That he stole to feed it is therefore a different crime entirely. But still, society's to blame... :D

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    I take my crow raw and flapping. Just bought a shoulder bag to carry my laptop to and from school. Rest assured, I'm putting a knife or something dangerous in there as well. :D
