…doesn’t mean you SHOULD.

Hilarious. Via Uncle.

Under the tree for Murdoc this morning. They can have it when they pry it from my sticky, goo-covered hands:

Sunday Best at Awkward Family Photos

Happy Thanksgiving, MO and GunPundit readers.

Not sure how much blogging I’ll do over the weekend. You all watch some football, eat some turkey, spend some time with friends and family, and have a great holiday.

Those of you on duty who can’t do any of the above because you’ve got a mission: You’ve got no idea how thankful the rest of us are that you’re doing what you do. We’re thinking of you.

Nice.

From Stuff you know if you have a Mosin Nagant on the AK vs. AR vs. Mosin Nagant page.

A commenter asked why I was planning to put a bayonet lug onto my AR’s gas block, noting that a bayonet would not be particularly useful in this configuration.

The main purpose would be use with a bipod, though I do have a Versa-Pod that I like.

Another purpose, of course, would be to up the “scary factor” of the gun. When people ask what I ‘need’ one of ‘those guns’ for, I could point to the lug and say “Because I can mount a sharp bayonet on it.”

I’m also hoping to acquire a shoulder thing that goes up, but they’re so tightly regulated that they can’t be found. My only hope at this point is a gun show loophole.

UPDATE: Maybe the shortage of shoulder things that go up is due to the fact that they’re all flowing over the border and arming Mexican drug gangs.

UPDATE 2: It didn’t occur to me to point out the cut-out on the barrel and tell them “that’s so I can mount a grenade launcher.”

What is that cut out actually called? Is there a term for it?

A tale told by a former pawn shop employee in Bellingham, Washington:

(A customer in their 50s walks into my pawn shop, which sells weapons.)

Customer: “Yeah, can you get me that shotgun behind the table?”

Me: “Sure, do you have your license and registration?”

Customer: “Yeah, right here.”

Me: “Thank you sir. There’s a 5 day waiting period for firearms. Come back soon.”

(He looks disappointed, but forks over the cash and walks out. Five days later…)

Customer: “Okay, dude, I’m back. Where’s the gun?”

Me: “Right here, sir…

(I make the transaction and hand him his shotgun.)

Me: “Have a nice day and come back soon!”

(About one minute after the customer leaves the store, I hear several loud shotgun blasts. I look through the window and the man is firing rounds into the air! He then runs into the store.)

Customer: “The zombie invasion has begun! It’s every man for himself!”

(I hide under the desk and press the silent alarm. Five minutes later, the police arrive, taser the guy, and bring him out of our back room in cuffs. I work at an ice cream store now.)

It was great how the zombies delayed until the waiting period was up.
