Police raid on Laura Croft statute.

What’s next? SWAT takes on the Leg Lamp from A Christmas Story?

Via CGSDB:

Police say a homeowner took the law into his own hands Tuesday and defended his property from a burglar. Police believe the burglar is responsible for other crimes in the area.

Investigators say 17-year-old Alexander Aguilar broke into a home on the 2300 block of Larry Drive in Dallas Tuesday afternoon.

“Took the law into his own hands”… The shootee had warrants out for his arrest and the police had been unable to apprehend him for at least two weeks.

Also, this burglar will be counted as a child shot by guns when the annual report comes out. Just saying.

Criticizing the M855 5.56mm Round

For all the bad rep the 5.56 has, our troops have been spectacularly successful with it.

I realized that the Subscribe to GunPundit Newsletter link in the sidebar was wrong. No wonder no one wanted the newsletter.

The newsletter is basically an automated daily update of new content on GunPundit and is completely free.

But can’t spell United States. Hilarious.

C.E. “Bud” Brann takes a look at CCW in Kansas:

Rest assured that as is my usual wont, people on both sides of the issue who read this article in its entirety will find something about which to be angry with me.

The problems with unregistered commenters continues to plague GunPundit. Everything seems to be in order except that the CAPTCHA image just won’t display. That’s those funky letters and numbers you have to type in to help prevent automated spammers from advertising online Texas Fold’em, replica watches, and growth drugs for certain parts of the anatomy.

I’m working on it with tech support at both Movable Type and at my host (where I suspect the issue is.)

So anyway, for the time being you need to be registered with one of a number of identity management systems to comment on GunPundit. My apologies.

UPDATE: As an added bonus, to register with this site directly to post comments, you need to enter a CAPTCHA string. Which, of course, is broken on this site and the whole reason you need to register in the first place.

If the damn CAPTCHA thing worked, you wouldn’t need to register to begin with. But since the CAPTCHA is broken, you need to register. Which you can’t do because the CAPTCHA is broken.

This service to you is included free of charge.

UPDATE 2: I give up for now. Registration, authentication, and CAPTCHA are all disabled. That should mean that anyone can comment by simply providing a name and email in the form.

If I start getting swamped by spammers, I will have to disable commenting once again. For the time being, though, the doors are open. Comment away.

UPDATE 3: The ‘Remember Me’ function isn’t working. My guess is that if you previously asked GunPundit to remember you, it does. If you haven’t done so previously and try now, it won’t. It doesn’t appear to be writing out the cookie, though I’m pretty sure I’ve got everything set up correctly.

I can only suspect that this is related to the same problem that has torpedoed the CAPTCHA and is related to the javascript somehow.
