Episode 28: Airgun Projectiles

Here’s a rundown of different projectiles that you can use in various airguns.

BBs, pellets, darts, bolts, and other oddities.

It turns out that 1.21 gigawatts of electricity really can throw you back to the year 1955.

Episode 27: The Naked Gun

I heard the best radio commercial ever last week.  You guessed it; Palmetto State Armory is having another sale!  This time they have silencers for 10% off through the end of July.  I never thought I’d hear an ad like that on the radio, but when you do, you know you’re living in a free state.

Mexican carry – the naked gun.  Turns out it is not a slam, but a historical fact.  Read this: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0BQY/is_2_51/ai_n8591504/

Carrying this way can have its problems, but for a few well-spent bucks you can get accessories to make it a lot safer and more secure.  Check out these possibilities:

Episode 26: Airgun Operating Systems

This is a basic rundown of the most common operating systems for airguns: pneumatic, CO2, and spring-piston.  Also, here's a link to a very clear article about hoplophobia:

Why do people so often assume the worst of our intentions?  Just listen to the talking candy bar blues.

Oh... sorry if you got an error message when you tried to download my last release.  Just after I published episode 25, I re-posted episode 23 and blew out the bandwidth on my free hosting service.  Dang! I should have taken Mark Vanderberg's good advice to upgrade my account just a day earlier.  My bad.  It won't happen any more.

Episode 23: Acquiring Lead

They just can’t help themselves, can they?  I won’t take away your guns.  Really?  What they can’t legislate, they’ll regulate.  EPA, you’re losing your credibility with this proposed lead ammo ban.  Reload.  Cast your own bullets while you still can.  Where can you get lead? http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/epa-reviewing-request-ban-led-bullets

Episode 25: Skeet Scat: A Tale of Two Asses

I recognize that I'm fairly useless with a shotgun.  Until my last outing to the range with my stepson, I had only ever taken one shot at clay.  I missed.  I did much better this time than I thought I would.

There's a new improvement on the traditional stink bomb out there.

Also, it gets hot in SC, and sitting down in this heat can hold some awkward surprises.

Episode 24: Compensators, Muzzle Brakes, and Supressors

Different doo-dads you can add to your muzzle.  Muzzle brakes can soften recoil, but they make your rifle LOUD!

Episode 22: Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy isn’t just a new-age health practice; sometimes you need those nitrocellulose fumes more than sage and lilac.   Breda had a post at http://www.thebredafallacy.com/2011/03/how-it-starts.html about a local reporter who took an important step to get over her fear of guns.  She took a CCW class.  Here’s a link to her article: http://www.cleveland.com/pdq/index.ssf/2011/03/from_gun-shy_to_gun-savvy_weap.html 

I’ll be on America’s Radio Show tonight.  Here’s a link to that show: http://woic.com/skin/elink.php?url=www.americasradioshow.com

Check out the Strike-Hold lubricant.  It not only cleans, lubricates, and protects, it also smells pretty good. http://strike-hold.com/
