The Stylish Man’s Guide to Concealed Carry

Posted on September 28, 2012 by ExurbanKev

Seriously, if this isn’t winning the debate over concealed carry, what is?  An extra layer of canvas and lining in the jacket increases stiffness, which reduces the “print” the gun makes through the outer fabric. Extra length in the back … Continue reading →

Mini 9mm Roundup

Posted on September 27, 2012 by ExurbanKev

I’ve been a fan of mini 9mm pistols for concealed carry since before they became a market niche all their own. A pocket 9mm is hard to beat for size, power and accuracy and that’s why they make a lot … Continue reading →

Gun vs. Training

Posted on September 26, 2012 by ExurbanKev

Gun Culture 2.0, Internet Zero

Posted on September 25, 2012 by ExurbanKev

I pretty much agree 100% with this post about Gun Culture 2.0 over at Human Events Online by Richard Johnson of the excellent BlueSheepDog blog (via Sebastian), including, sadly, this last paragraph.  Others, however, have not made any moves to … Continue reading →

Living with the Smith and Wesson Shield

Posted on September 24, 2012 by ExurbanKev

A few updates on carrying the S+W Shield on a daily basis… It’s VERY easy to carry. I forget I’m wearing it most of the time.  Because it’s so thin, my “carry pants” don’t fit well. The Crossbreed MiniTuck is … Continue reading →

The World Is Your Desktop

Posted on September 21, 2012 by ExurbanKev

As I tend to do a fair amount of Photoshop work on my computers and that sort of thing can get thrown off by bright colours on a desktop image, my backgrounds are either boring grey or something out of … Continue reading →

Not QUITE what I was looking for, but it’s a good idea

Posted on September 21, 2012 by ExurbanKev

Somehow, I managed to misread this as “Monster Hunter Lego Edition.”  Now I know Lego already has “Monster Fighter” sets, but I can’t help but think that a Lego version of Monster Hunter International would be MUCH cooler.  Especially if they … Continue reading →

Well I’m a-runnin’ down the road tryin’ a loosen my load, gotta world of troubles on my mind

Posted on September 20, 2012 by ExurbanKev

Spotted one of those, a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale in the opposite lane of traffic last week as I was headed home from work. Supercars such as these just aren’t common in the quiet suburbs of southeast Phoenix, so it’s … Continue reading →

Gun Culture 1.5

Posted on September 19, 2012 by ExurbanKev

In an attempt to get into hunting, I’ve been attending the meetings of the Arizona Predator Callers, and I’m enjoying it so far. They’re knowledgeable, friendly and most importantly, are willing to accept total noobs like myself into their ranks. … Continue reading →

Book the face

Posted on September 17, 2012 by ExurbanKev

Yeah, I’m on Facebook now. I figure it’s high time I put all that l33t internet marketing stuff that I do for a living to use on this blog and get some more revenue page views. I won’t just foist … Continue reading →

Teaching your kids to shoot

Posted on September 16, 2012 by ExurbanKev

My sons are six and nine now, and they’ve shown themselves to be old enough and mature enough to get behind the trigger. So this weekend, during a camping trip to the Mogollon Rim, I brought a Crossman BB gun … Continue reading →
