After being charged by three elephants simultaneously in 1989, Hungarian inventor Joseph Szecsei developed an exquisite double barreled repeating bolt action rifle in .416 Rem. Mag. 8 shots.

An ABC TV affiliate out of Houston, TX advises home invasion victims to fake having a heart attack or a breathing problem. In other words, play dead. If you do want to fight back, the station recommends pepper spray or a baseball bat. Me, I say play Rambo and whack ’em with a bazooka. Jackson, MS has the universal ban […] Read More

Election follow up
Some observations… True to predictions, liberal anti-gun President Obama was in Democratic US Senate candidate Travis Childers’ corner in MS. The day before the election I received a robocall from the President asking me to vote for his friend Travis Childers. The South MS Tea Party also showed its true colors by endorsing Childers in the general election. I wore […] Read More
