Even zombies have to deal with irrational protesters these days

Protesting Zombies at the Nashville Zombie Walk

Have these people even thought about how the zombies feel? (Probable Answer: 'Braaaaaiiinnnnsssss!')

Protesting zombies is just going to cause the lifeless to withdraw even more. Maybe what Zack needs is a hug. Has anyone asked? (Probable Answer: 'Braaaaaiiinnnnsssss!')

And shouldn't the Nashville Zombie Walk have been called the Nashville Zombie Shuffle? Did the zombies name it? If so, has anyone asked them about changing it? (Probable Answer: 'Braaaaaiiinnnnsssss!')

What do we think about the Mossberg Just In Case shotgun line as prep for disasters like floods, hurricanes, civil unrest, and the rise of the undead? Are the zombies prepared to face an armed America? (Probable Answer: 'Braaaaaiiinnnnsssss!')

Correction
In last Friday's Linkzookery I linked to a GunPundit post with a chart showing violent crime in states with the right to carry as opposed to states without. However, it turns out that the source used dodgy math to get its numbers and the gap isn't nearly as significant as...[READ]

Rimfire AWB in Louisiana
We all joke about the quasi-pathetic 5.56mm round the US military uses in its assault rifles, but legislation introduced in Louisiana would ban a bunch of .22LR rifles in an "assault weapons ban." Amazing. Go read....[READ]

The Great New Orleans Gun Grab
I've mentioned this book before, and I have a quick review with a number of excerpts up over at GunPundit. Seriously, this isn't a book just for gun owners and pro-gun activists. The situation in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina was understandably ugly, but the government put a lot...[READ]

K2 Porcupine by PentagonLight
Got this baby in the mail a few weeks back and have been playing around with it a bit. The K2 Porcupine Light by PentagonLight is a 70 lumen xenon with an, um, twist ending: Unlike ordinary tactical lights with crenellated bezel that can often inflict unnecessary harms to oneself,...[READ]

Charlton Heston died
Breaking news: Oscar-winning actor played larger-than-life figures We'll see if his work with the NRA gets much attention. I imagine someone will make fun of him for it, though. My favorite Heston film is probably Ben-Hur. I watched Planet of the Apes with my son a few weeks ago. Just...[READ]

Pizza Guy CCW
I've been noting a number of self-defense shootings by pizza delivery drivers lately over at GunPundit. What's most notable about most incidents isn't that criminals target the drivers, it's that after the drivers defend themselves they often find themselves in trouble for violating their employer's no-carry policy. I haven't heard...[READ]

2nd Amendment Blog Bash: Murdoc's In
I've worked out my conflicts and will definitely be attending the 2nd Amendment Blog Bash at the NRA Annual Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky, in May. There's a great lineup of bloggers planning to attend and the convention should be a good one. You don't have to be a "gun blogger"...[READ]

Very similar to Free Speech in several respects
Provided nameless folks don't complain that they're offended, in which case you'll be told that it's offensive and that “that's all you need to know.” Funny, but try this with some other minority groups on campus and I bet there'd be a bit of a ruckus....[READ]

Confused Canadian
Somehow happened upon this: How this Canadian voted on the issues Here's his vote on issue 8: 8. Assault Weapons Ban. Yes! If not, I will buy myself a fifty caliber machine gun for target practice on public property. Give me a break, folks! The world absolutely believes Americans as...[READ]

SHOT Show Coverage
Most of my coverage of the 2008 SHOT Show will be over at GunPundit where I've created a special category for it, but here's a shot of Murdoc holding the Mk16 SCAR-L at Friday's shoot: It shot nice. I also shot the 7.62 SCAR-H. We only got 10 rounds, but...[READ]
