Where are citizens trusted more?

Where are citizens trusted more?

The rights of Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonbians, Czechs and Moldovans to go armed for self-protection are respected. The rights of Poles aren’t.

I will post more P3AT holster photos this weekend. I am beginning to suspect that holsters and women’s shoes have something in common…they multiply when left unattended.

Peltor 7 and 6S amplified muffs

Posted on February 25, 2011 by Oleg Volk

This January, I lent my amplified muffs to somebody among my friends for a range trip. Can’t recall who that was and I’d like to get the muffs back. Whoever has them, please let me know.

They rank below Sergeant Schultz and closer to rat feces with most people.

“Tipping Point” by Frank Clarke is out in print

Posted on February 23, 2011 by Oleg Volk

I recommend Tipping Point — it’s a well-written, engaging and sometimes humorous “what if” political speculation.

40 grains worth of smoke signal

45 Colt carbine just fired

A five-foot tall woman with a 45Colt carbine can protect herself from most North American predators, whether two or four legged types. 300 grain bullet at 1600-1700fps is just above 50AE in energy and penetration. Should the ten round magazine prove insufficient up close, two six-shooters of the same caliber are close to hand.

This blog is supported by…

Posted on February 22, 2011 by Oleg Volk

…the same ISP that supports Gun Rights Media and Armed Polite Society forums, A Human Right and my photo gallery: Geovario. I recommend them highly, both for the quality of service and for their strong support of RKBA.

Good quality, inexpensive pocket holster for J-frame or Charter .38

Posted on February 22, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Met Luke Adams at SHOT show and was very impressed by the quality of his leather work. He makes holsters to order and they are a steal at the prices he charges. His designs are sensible and extremely durable — I saw one that was carried for a year but still looked brand new.

Guy de Maupassant

Posted on February 21, 2011 by Oleg Volk

I have a nice 1920s edition of his short stories. The man was as much a cynic as Twain but more morbid than funny. The cultural references are quite dated but most of the attitudes aren’t.

Another look at the High Road story

Posted on February 21, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Bayou Renaissance Man recently wrote a summary of the case. I like Peter’s style of writing but cannot elaborate on his speculations about the settlement terms. The best side effect of this ordeal was discovering how many true, supporting friends I have
