Now part of the Beretta family, the marque has been known for its semi-auto shotguns since its founding in 1967. But Benelli made an attempt, in the 70s and 80s, to make a NATO service pistol. It’s interesting for its unusual toggle-lock …
Before… Hey, stoned, air-headed, and wobbling across the traffic lanes without a license is one way to go through life. Not a way we’d recommend, but there’s always that 5% that doesn’t get the word. Meet Darriean Hess, 2013 Miss Bad Driver for New Hampshire, and a contender for the national title. While the national …
Smile for the mugshot, jailbird. Sharzad Mir Gholikhan, a convicted felon and sometime Iranian government agent, has threatened us (from Iran, apparently, and from an electronic address associated with an Iranian government propaganda agency), for calling her a weapons trafficker.

We wrote in one of our “when guns are outlawed” posts: Here is a thought about guns. About 3.5 million guns are manufactured every year, and about 10 billion rounds of fixed small arms ammunition.

Matt at Jerking the Trigger has an interesting analysis of a Glock teaser: I went all CSI on the teaser photo and adjusted the brightness and contrast of the image (below). You can see that the entire outline of a pistol is visible and, if it is to scale with the Zippo lighter shown, it …
Evie Hudak waddles off into the sunset… With internal polling showing her recall a certainty, Colorado’s embattled anti-gun extremist Evie Hudak resigned to keep the seat in the Democrats’ corner. With an open seat, her party (in the person of anti-gun Governor John Hickenlooper) gets to appoint another anti-gun Democrat to hold the seat until …
Freedom Life and health Friends and family Turkeys. The farm-bred one that gave up its life for our lunch today, and the seven wild ones that walked across the backyard at about 0500 this morning, alike. Is it possible that even as Franklin was wrong about the eagle, he was right about the turkey? Work …

This is one of several films made about the notorious Colditz prison in the mountains of Saxony. An old castle, Colditz — officially Oflag IVc — was believed to be escape-proof — and so the Nazis sent the worst and most incorrigible Allied escapers there, almost all of whom were British and Commonwealth, Dutch and …
