So I was chatting with Chester Murphy about when his next podcast was coming out. He asked “When are you free?”
So yeah we did a fun little romp of random podcast tomfoolery, and I shamelessly pimped The Squirrel Report, and the Gunblog Variety Cast

Shit Happens…it can also kill!
15-year-old drowned in a manure pit in Pennsylvania when a piece of farm equipment overturned and trapped him underneath, officials said on Sunday.
That is a horrible way to die. But it wasn’t a “Gun Death”, so I guess it doesn’t count!
More horrible than the title might make you think:
A Milwaukee man broke into the home of a 101-year-old woman and raped her in her bed during an attempted burglary, according to a criminal complaint filed on Tuesday.
…**REDACTED**is accused of breaking into the 101-year-old woman’s house around 2 a.m. local time on Sept. 1. Milwaukee police said in a statement that he intended to burglarize the house, but found nothing he wanted to steal.
When he found the woman in her bed, he told her to “shut up,” slapped her several times in the face and raped her, the complaint said.
Didn’t find anything worth stealing, so he did THAT!
No weapons needed. But how would you feel if the old woman had pulled an old S&W Victory model out of the night stand and gave the intruder a few .38s for his trouble?
Yeah, because “gun Death” would be bad!
So it’s Thanksgiving, and soon I’ll be heading up to Maine to spend some time with my family and eat too much dead bird.
Still I have to be sappy and talk about what I’m thankful for!
My baby messes with the lobsters at the grocery store! AWESOME!
Hope you’re all having a happy Thanksgiving! Eat too much and have a good time!
Also poll for the questions, I know some people who treat Thanksgiving as a drinking holiday. I like to drink, but this isn’t one of them. Maybe a glass or two of wine with the Italian side, but on my side of the family we don’t do much of the boozing. Do you?
Since the introduction of colorful, single-load packets of laundry detergent in 2012 through the end of 2013, more than 17,000 children under age 6 ate or inhaled the contents or squirted concentrated liquid from a packet into their eyes, researchers reported Monday.
Their study is the first to compile all cases reported to the National Poison Data System, confirming fears that accidental poisonings with laundry packets, which many households choose for their convenience, are not uncommon. Because reporting to the database is voluntary, the figure is likely an underestimation, several experts said. The study was published in the journal Pediatrics.
Now when the “Gun Death” Cultists talk about “Children” being killed with guns, generally they’re talking about gang members, or others involved in the illegal drug trade (but really, I repeat myself) ages 15-24 getting shot. This is honest-to-god little kids dying, and the numbers for just this demographic is GREATER THAN THE NON-SUICIDE “Gun Deaths” every year.
On an interesting side note my wife was having dinner with an Poison Control researcher and he was mentioning that they’re baffled at these poisoning deaths. The contents are little more than concentrations of what is otherwise in what you’d pour into your washing machine, but the deaths are far higher than kids who decided to drink liquid detergent.
Now of course you won’t hear about this, because “Progressives” NEED detergent pods to wash their clothes and dishes. They don’t NEED guns, so guns should be banned, and so only “Gun Death” should count!
Thankfully the riots appear to mostly contained in Ferguson, but there are protests everywhere. I’m glad to be home with the baby today, still my wife is working in Boston. I’m not so concerned that I would advise her to work from home, still all it takes is a few rabble rousers to turn a peaceful protests with some racist anger into a full-on riot.
Still I’m deeply saddened that after the grand jury refused to indict, which is VERY telling about the amount of evidence against the media narrative that Michael Brown was gunned down in cold blood, that this is the end result:
This is NOT about Michael Brown, I think the evidence shows that he was a thug, and a criminal, and if Officer Wilson didn’t shoot him somebody else probably would have done it.
This is all about race, and about anarchy. The black community has been coddled for so long that no claim of “racism” is too ridiculous, and fantasies of a white patriarchal society exists that preys on blacks for nothing but sport, and that looting and violent anarchy is an acceptable behavior.
Also I wonder about Ferguson as a city. How many times can you burn a place down before people decide not to rebuild?
Be safe out there!
Yeah, sometimes it’s just stupid!
Umm, everybody dies, and guns aren’t alive, so they can’t die.
Still a kid on a swing set….you mean like a school? A GUN FREE ZONE?
Yeah, I wonder why all these shootings happen in gun free zones…
Yes in the age of catastrophic “Global Warming” we have death!
Roofs began to creak and collapse and homeowners struggled to clear waist-high drifts atop their houses Thursday as another storm brought the Buffalo area’s three-day snowfall total to an epic 7 feet or more.
…Local media reported that about 180 residents of a Cheektowaga assisted living facility were evacuated after staff members noticed the ceiling bulging under the weight of the snow.
Homeowners and store employees around the region climbed onto roofs to shovel off the snow and reduce the danger.
…The storms were blamed for at least 10 deaths in western New York, mostly from heart attacks and exposure.
The revisionists are working hard to adjust the models that say all ice will melt and the coastal cities will flood to “Lots of people dying in the snow and ice”.
Meh, only “Gun Death” Counts!
We’ll see if more riots happen:
A white police officer will not face charges for fatally shooting an unarmed black teenager in a case that set off violent protests and racial unrest throughout the nation, an attorney close to the case said Monday night.
This is BIG news. This is NOT a trial but a Grand Jury Decision. The old saying is a that a Grand Jury will indict a ham sandwich. It’s understandable as an indictment is NOT a declaration of guilt, but just if a trial is needed.
The Grand Jury decided there was no need for a trial. That’s HUGE, but I don’t think reasonable minds are going to let this stand in their way. There are racists out there who want BLOOD, and I don’t think tonight, or tomorrow will be bloodless.
Be safe out there!
So on this week’s Handgun radio Ryan and I talk about summer vs. Winter carry.
But in my “Obscure Gun” segment I stated that Ruger should make a full-size .357 similar to the GP100 but using the LCR technology.
Not QUITE what I wanted, but boy they’re getting close. This is a .38 +P, and there is no reason why they won’t come out with a .357 variant. Still it’s using the same frame so it’s only a 5-shot. I’d want a 6-gun or more for it to be worth my time.
Still the larger barrel and grip, plus the adjustable sights and exposed hammer (which frankly I could care less about, since I generally only shoot DA revolvers in double-action) are showing that they’re thinking more about my dream.
All I ask, Ruger, is when you build that full-size polymer revolver, you give me a contributor copy for the idea!
