Liberty is an inherently offensive lifestyle. Living in a free society guarantees that each one of us will see our most cherished principles and beliefs questioned and in some cases mocked. That psychic discomfort is the price we pay for basic civic peace. It's worth it. It's a pragmatic principle. Defend everyone else's rights, because if you don't there is no one to defend yours. - MaxedOutMama

I don't just want gun rights... I want individual liberty, a culture of self-reliance....I want the whole bloody thing. Kim du Toit

The most glaring example of the cognitive dissonance on the left is the concept that human beings are inherently good, yet at the same time cannot be trusted with any kind of weapon, unless the magic fairy dust of government authority gets sprinkled upon them. Moshe Ben-David

I Want to Thank My 16 Regular Readers

I Want to Thank My 16 Regular Readers...

...and the rest of you who voted for me in the Para-USA Win a Weekend at Blackwater competition. I'm going! So is Tam, Dave Hardy, SayUncle, Robb, Ahab, JR, and Joe Huffman! I don't know who the other two are yet, but congratulations to them as well!

Three days, 1,000 to 1,500 rounds of someone else's ammo, and training with Todd Jarrett? What more could you want?

Only downside? My fat ass will be on television, unless they use some damned creative editing. Michael Bane is going to film the weekend for the Outdoor Channel. He also reports (so it's official now) that Para-USA is relocating from Toronto, Ontario to Charlotte, N.C. in October.

Thanks, y'all. You're the greatest!

UPDATE, 7/8: The last two gunbloggers chosen by poll are Armed Citizen and Mad Duck

And even better news, Bitter Bitch and Sebastian will be going as well, according to Michael Bane. (He needs someone to film while the rest of us are worshipping learning from Todd Jarrett.)
