Cats, Guns, and National Security

In TDF 258 , I discussed “pouch carry” and open carry, including in the home. Following that study, I conducted another in which I relied on hidden arms stowed strategically around, rather than CCW on my person, in the home. Like the previous one, this study showed two sides. I quickly found that sometimes stowage can be more convenient. MUCH more convenient. On the other hand, there was the issue of securing the stowed arms from unwelcome discovery by others. However, it was a few fairly benign but unusual incidents that led me relatively immediately to the more “counter-fudd” leaning on the matter – and on purely tactical grounds. The primary ones involved meeting a neighbor for the first time. I have since confirmed that he is no threat, yet circumstances at the time gave an, uh, odd – not expressly threatening, but still odd – initial impression. (Turns out it’s “herbal.”) Facing this unknown quantity, I stood there, dealing with an uncertain situation, able only to fidget with a p...

This regards the article from the American Institute for Economic Research, “ Orwell Exposes the Cowardice of Journalists and Intellectuals ,” which overall is worth the read .   The writer uses  George Orwell’s work, “The Freedom of the Press,” as a springboard for launching against the forces currently acting to censor discussions, such as journalism, “science,” and other areas where Woke PC has gained a foothold. He  quotes this statement critical of journalism, but misses or ignores  an odd misstatement by Orwell. Notice: “If publishers and editors exert themselves to keep certain topics out of print, it is not because they are frightened of prosecution but because they are frightened of public opinion.” The last two words: “public opinion.” Yet, it is not “public opinion” that is being discussed as a censoring force or motivation, but rather forces in politics, business, society, or media running COUNTER to the public – “enemies of the people.” I have sometimes ...

It was my  genuine hope that my start-from-scratch examination would overthrow a lot of conventional wisdom.  Spoiler alert: It didn’t. As a fudd, I very much tend toward minimalism in concealed carry. However, I am not blind to the argument for having on your person a little more than your Detective’s Special. Particularly in an urban setting, and even in the home , carrying larger firepower than a normal CCW piece holds particular appeal in some circumstances, such as late-night/early-morning or times of “abnormal” suspicions. But doing so, especially in that same urban environment, holds its own set of, shall we say, potential complications. Summertime effectively rules out jacket cover. Females have the option of a large pu...

Why Cats Still Rule the Internet After More Then 30 Years Starting around the  early 90s,  cats began taking over the internet, and their reign has continued for over three decades. There’s no sign of slowing down. On the contrary, the meowmentum is only growing stronger, like a digital feline tsunami.

Reports state that the Harris/Biden insurrection has concocted a rule that would effectively impose universal background checks. Below is my response, an article written some time back for my “Daily Fudd” series.
