Check Your Ammo!

I guess Winchester wanted me to practice some immediate action drills (even if they're less than exciting on a DA-only revolver...)

At least they were nice and stuck it right on the corner there.

Prepping

Heard rumors of hordes of monsters and evil things roaming about, so we're getting ready to defend the homestead.

Hooray coffee!

KtKC 2013 - The Extended Cut!

Dropping this before ducking out for the week.  Simply can't contain the awesome.

More and better photos later!

Light Blogging Alert

I know it has been lately, but it's about to get really light this week.  Kind of have a wedding thing to do today, and a honeymoon to enjoy next week.  Fair warning.

Unneeded Features

Aero Precision is selling a stripped AR upper that gets rid of the main one on the AR platform.

If I were building an AR from scratch, this is upper I'd use.  I've always felt that if there's an issue that requires you to beat the bolt into battery, there's probably something not very safe about the ammo or your gun.

Teaser

Editing some photos (apparently PS Elements 10 no longer recognizes NEF Raw, yay extra steps!)

Here's a teaser of the newest addition to the armory.

Challenge Unlocked!

I have now killed a mouse in the house (heh) with an AR15.

(Lila was practicing her 'catch and release' techniques for the last two hours.  She dropped the stunned thing next to me while I happened to have an AR handy. 'Muzzle-strike' is SUPER EFFECTIVE!)

MHI Challenge Coins KS Live

Instantly increase your Hunter street cred!

I don't know if I'm more excited by the MHI coin, or the MCB ones. Either would look good hidden among the coins I've accumulated over the years.

200k

Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced Tuesday that permit number  200,000 was printed Monday at the Department of Justice’s secure processing center in downtown Madison. 

Beer

Hooray beer!

Gov't Shutdown

We at G&C are feeling a little less joking about it, since we were trying to buy a new house and using a VA Home Loan to go about doing it. Hard to negotiate when the people lending the money (and inspecting and appraising the house) are 'furloughed' until after the proposed closing date.  I know, first world problems and all, but damn it's annoying.

KtKC Final Numbers

First off, thanks to everyone who donated!

We raised $460 for Team G&C, not bad I think for having a bunch of technical issues for the first week or so (probably not using Livestrong next year...) putting us strongly in the middle of the pack (9 our of 18!)

Speaking of next year, I'm wearing pants today, and it feels weird.  I can't wait until next September!  Hopefully I'll have some good ways thought up to entice you to donate more.
