Paul Rogan, publisher of Canada's one and only firearms buy and sell newspaper "Canadian Access to Firearms", puts on the annual spring gun show here in Whitehorse and it's a very well-attended … [Read more...]
You’ve always WANTED to shoot your alarm clock, right?
Don’t deny it. You’ve always WANTED to shoot your alarm clock, right? Well, now you can with this unique offering on Groupon. I was tipped to the shootable alarm clock by a co-worker who knew I want to shoot mine every morning. I like that it is both the clock and gun are battery-powered. I don't know why but I've always preferred battery-powered alarm clocks to … [Read more...]
The Coolest .45 Caliber Pistol Ever!
Human ingenuity truly knows no bounds, and this news item certainly shows that. It's a metal puzzle cube, 125 pieces in all if you can believe it, that when specific pieces from the cube are assembled properly forms a fully-functional .45 caliber single-shot pistol. And to make all the nanny-staters happy, it comes with its own lock, so you can't take the cube … [Read more...]
“The Zombie Apocalypse is coming!” Are you prepared? (humour)
A friend of mine sent me a really funny post the other day. The title was intriguing, of course, given I love vampire and zombie movies. (Yes, even the bad ones!)

Some days it doesn't take much. Just one good-looking woman, a pirate's wench costume, a shotgun and a camera or two and a guy can have a really great day. A friend of mine was passing through town this weekend and she needed a break from her two kids, if only for a few hours. I was going to take her to the range, but it's closed for the youth camp this week. So much for … [Read more...]
Kill all those nasty gophers! (humourous)
My loving wife sent me an email last night with this little gem in it. I'd seen it before, probably a few years ago but had long since forgotten about it. It's CCI Ammunition's online gopher shooting game. It's really quite fun, and even if you pay close attention, you probably won't get to shoot all the little … [Read more...]

McSherry Auction’s Annual Fall Gun Auction
Gotta love gun auctions! Haven't been to one in a while, since the last one in the lower mainland was canceled after long gun registration came into effect. Too bad too, because it was a lot of fun. Some good deals too. At the last one I think some friends of mine and I were buying shotguns for $10 each or something ridiculous like that. Were they pristine? Of course … [Read more...]
Disarmament Man!
