Soldier of Fortune

Page 11 of the September 2010 issue of Soldier of Fortune is a full-page advertisement for H-S Precision’s HTR, favorite of the FBI, which reads in part: “America’s Freedom Protected by American Products.” Ha, ha.

We’re talking about Lon Horiuchi-lovin’ H-S Precision.

Soldier of Fortune is a weird mixed bag of JBT love/hate, so I don’t know how it’ll be received, but we’ll be letting them know The Inconvenience won’t renew his subscription if they don’t end their relationship with H-S Precision.

You can email the editorial staff of SOF at editorsof@aol.com. Even if you’re not a regular SOF reader, take a moment to let them know how you feel about H-S Precision and those who do business with them.

Inception

Inception was the best movie I have seen in quite some time. Two thumbs way, way up. Go see it!

Look out, Nevada

I’m proud to say I’m good friends with Mr. Baker:

Go get ‘em, buddy! :)

Happy Independence Day, and, um, BURN.

Earlier today, we noticed that the Idaho National Guard armory down the street was flying their flag at half-staff. The Inconvenience remarked that it is downright insane to lower the the flag on Independence Day, especially in honor of such a distasteful waste of flesh as Robert Byrd.

Turns out it’s also in direct violation of the Presidential Proclamation on the subject.

Not fifteen minutes after I learned that, to what did my wondering eyes did appear, but a freshly-shaven, sharp-looking Sergeant of Marines in full dress blues, striding on down to the Armory… and raising the flag to full-staff.

*cough*

Sure glad I don’t know anybody who would do anything like that…

*whistles*

PGB Hero of the Week: Gerald R. Fox

MADISON, Wis. — A Wisconsin prosecutor said he won’t enforce a host of state weapons laws after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled this week Americans have a right to own a gun for self-defense.

Jackson County District Attorney Gerald R. Fox said in a statement he will no longer prosecute Wisconsin’s prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons, transporting uncased or loaded guns in vehicles, carrying guns in public buildings and taverns and carrying switchblades and butterfly knives. He said the Supreme Court’s ruling renders those statutes unconstitutional.

Fox, a Democrat with self-described Libertarian leanings, faces re-election in 2012. He said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press but if the Brady Campaign wants to mount a recall drive, the organization should “bring it on.”

“If a majority of people want me to move on, that’s the price for standing up and saying ‘this is what I believe,’” Fox said.

There are some really lulzy quotes in there from a mentally defective police chief, so go read the whole thing. I’d really like to know if the predicted hogleg rush came to pass, hurr… I’m going to guess not.

Fox’s whole press release can be read here.

“These so-called “public safety” laws only put decent law-abiding citizens at a dangerous disadvantage when it comes to their personal safety, and I for one am glad that this decades-long era of defective thinking on gun issues is over.”

OH MY GOSH JUST GO READ IT.

Maybe I’m a nerd, but this makes me positively giddy. I really want to email Mr. Fox and thank him for his badassery. Right now all I have is, “Dear Mr. Fox, you’re fantastic. Love, Me” so I should probably wait until I stop swooning.
