UPS Delivery Notification

My package from HRO that I mentioned on Wednesday arrived last night.

Another small hint since I'm not ready for the unveiling just yet: 14.070 MHz.

Top Shot 3 - August 9

Top Shot 3 starts on August 9 at 10:00 Eastern. Some people don't like the "Real World" aspect of it. Me, it doesn't bother so much. Of course, I often fast forward through a lot the non-competition stuff. Meet the competitors here:

#p2

I follow Miguel's Gun Free Zone blog and he posts all the crazy things that are written on the CSGV Facebook wall. The posts usually have the #p2 hashtag.

I finally broke down and looked #p2 up here. The following are not the most popular definitions, but they work for me.

This hashtag is used by socialists/communists and their sympathizers to disseminate propaganda and anti-American sentiment.

#p2 big government liberals whose main goal is to destroy the Constitution and replace it with a Marxist society.

Zuckerburg Thinks Using Real Names Creates a Polite Society

According to this article, Zuckerburg thinks requiring us to use our real names will make us play nice in the sandbox. Has he seen what people say using their real name? I don't argue that he has the right to determine how his business is run. I just think he is wrong.

Crimson Trace Light Guard

I keep thinking about getting a Glock 19 or a S&W M&P 9mm and the Crimson Trace Light Guard would be a nice addition.

Check out the picture from pdb Reviews The Crimson Trace Light Guard: Part 1 that compares the Light Guard and TLR-1. I really like the wide beam on the Light Guard.

Shipping Confirmation from Ham Radio Outlet

That was the title of an e-mail I received this morning. Something fun is on its way to Brick's shack.

Guns and Radios

I've visited AR15.com on various occasions, but until I uncovered today's post about the Baofeng UV-3R, I had no idea that they had a Ham Radio section in their forums -- including Ham Radio 101 and 57 pages of Everything You Wanted to Know About Ham Radio But Were Too Confused to Ask.

Christians

My understanding of God's message is quite different from those discussed by Ken at Popehat. It is sad when the "good" guys aren't even close to being good. I'm not close to perfect, but it is hard to believe the people can reconcile being Christian and making comments like "can we start killing them now? few groups are filled with more hatred." In this case, they are talking about atheists, but it could be directed at just about any group that doesn't match their views.
