Here’s hoping everyone has a great Turkey Day.

Make sure to remember our deployed troops. They don’t get a long weekend.

And “The Pinedale Shopping Mall has just been bombed with live turkeys”

UPDATE: Changed the link to a new post with an active clip. The other one was pulled sometime this morning. WKRP is a classic.

This week’s Friday Linkzookery is up at Murdoc Online.

In the interest of full disclosure, I thought I’d put up a quick post summarizing the hows and whys of some of the products that appear here on GunPundit.com. If interested, read on.

Holiday key time for food, gun swap

Akron, Ohio:

Sponsors of the Goods for Guns program are hoping that the promise of a full belly will lure people to turn in their guns in exchange for $100 gift cards for Acme Fresh Markets.

The dates for the program, Nov. 21 and 22, were strategically selected this year to coincide with Thanksgiving because it’s a time when thoughts traditionally turn to food, authorities said.

Last year, the event sponsored by the Summit County Crimestoppers, the Sheriff’s Office, the Akron Police Department and several private corporations and nonprofit agencies removed 950 guns from the streets. This year, Crimestoppers hopes to purchase enough gift cards to increase that number and buy 1,200 guns.

In 2007, the program ran out of gift cards before the public ran out of guns.

The new SiteMeter rolled out this morning was, um, less than stellar. To their credit, they’re rolling back.

I’ve finally had a chance to work some more on site maintenance (i.e. reconstruction). Things aren’t finished yet, but they’re closer.

Please excuse the dust.

GunPundit is in the midst of a long-overdue upgrade. I will be posting regularly again, but it might be a few days before everything is back to normal around here.

UPDATE: Incidentally, comments are turned back on.

I have had to disable comments on GunPundit for the time being due to technical issues. I will soon be migrating the site over to WordPress from Movable Type and commenting will be restored at that time.

My apologies.

I didn’t really mean to take a multi-day break, but it worked out that way.

Regular blogging to resume shortly.

Murdoc is working on another article.

Now I’m looking for a couple gun shops that are either exclusively tactical or at least have a large percentage of their sales in the recreational tactical segment of the market.

I’m interested in talking with them about what they do, how they do it, and what results they’ve had with it. I’m more interested in recreational/sport shooting than in LE/military in this case.

If you own such a shop, know someone who works at one, or have a favorite, please email me with some contact info.
