Hoppe’s Introduces Air Freshner With No. 9 Fragrance

Overland Park, KS – In 1903, when Frank Hoppe developed a mix of 9 different ingredients to create the original Hoppe’s No. 9 gun solvent, he had no idea that history was being made. Over the last 107 years the smell of Hoppe’s No. 9 has evoked fond memories of fathers, grandfathers, memorable hunts and great days in the field.

In response to consumer requests, Hoppe’s now has an air freshener with the unique No. 9 smell. The freshener has a string for hanging it in your gun room, car, garage, or anywhere you want the nostalgic smell of Hoppe’s No. 9.

Brett and Kate McKay, authors of the book “The Art of Manliness” list Hoppe’s No. 9 as one of the top 15 manly smells.

The Hoppe’s No. 9 Air Freshener will be available at your favorite sporting goods and/or hunting store and will sell for a suggested retail price of $3.99.

Taking a page out of Captain’s playbook today…

Now understandably this is not a “motivational poster” image… but I think it’s pretty damned motivational to me!  …plus, I like it, and it’s my blog. so there! heh.

Just a shame I can’t vote in AZ. :-/

Code Monkey can, though!

I know what I want for Christmas!

From Topless Robot, The RPC (Rocket Propelled Chainsaw):

The rocket chainsaw launcher. Tell me it wouldn’t be worth getting eaten alive by the living dead if you got to fire this thing into a crowd of them first. Hell, I’d be too busy cackling with delight to reload even if I had any extra ammo. Thanks to everyone who sent in the tip.

How cool is that!!?!

I love this guy! Seriously though, beyond the man-crush, this guy is awesome! He’s all about states rights, and has been making serious waves lately against this current regime in DC on the issue, and to top it off he does this!

Texas Gov. Perry Shoots Coyote During Jog
Tuesday, 27 Apr 2010 06:55 PM

Texas Gov. Rick Perry has a message for wily coyotes out there: Don’t mess with my dog.

Perry says he needed just one shot from his laser-sighted pistol to take down a coyote that was menacing his dog during an early morning jog in an undeveloped area near Austin.

Perry told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he sometimes carries his pistol, loaded with hollow-point bullets, when he jogs on trails because he’s scared of snakes. He’d also seen coyotes in that area.

When the coyote came out of the brush toward his daughter’s Labrador retriever puppy on a February jog, he charged it and shot it with his .380 Ruger pistol.

Perry’s warning: “Don’t attack my dog or you might get shot … if you’re a coyote.”

The man just makes me Texas-proud!  (your humble blog host is a native son)

“just pass out the pistols at the beginning of the trip, and they pick ‘em up again at the end”

LOL!! Classic!

Vegas, baby! You can’t get more American than this… gambling… smoking.. drinking… and guns!

So the first thing I see when I step out of the plane into the terminal in Las Vegas was a bunch of slot machines… shocker, right?    and then this ad…. Love it!!

Never shot a full-auto Tommy gun, I’m so gonna have to do that! Might have to get a suit, bowler hat and cigar and do it Winston Churchill style, though. heh.

From AP, via the Richmond Times Dispatch:

TABOR CITY, N.C.  — A sheriff says a North Carolina state senator shot one of two intruders at his home and hospital officials say the man is in fair condition.

Multiple media outlets reported that Columbus County Sheriff Chris Batten said that 74-year-old Sen. R.C. Soles of Tabor City shot Kyle Blackburn late Sunday afternoon.

A spokeswoman at Loris Community Hospital in South Carolina said Monday that Blackburn was in fair condition.

Batten says the shooting occurred when two men went to the senator’s house and tried to kick in his front door. No charges have been filed.

The sheriff’s office said the State Bureau of Investigation was handling the case. A call to an agency spokeswoman was not immediately returned. There was no answer at a number listed for Soles’ home.

The Democrat has been in the Senate 32 years.

Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of two intruders at his home just outside Tabor City, N.C. about 5 p.m. Sunday, the prosecutor for the politician’s home county said.

The victim, Kyle Blackburn, was taken to a South Carolina hospital, but the injuries were not reported to be life-threatening, according to Rex Gore, district attorney for Columbus, Bladen and Brunswick counties…

The State Bureau of Investigation and Columbus County Sheriff’s Department are investigating the shooting, Gore said. Soles, who was not arrested, declined to discuss the incident Sunday evening.

“I am not in a position to talk to you,” Soles said by telephone. “I’m right in the middle of an investigation.”

The Senator, who has made a career of being against gun ownership for the general public, didn’t hesitate to defend himself with his own gun when he believed he was in immediate danger and he was the victim.

In typical hypocritical liberal fashion, the “Do As I Say And Not As I Do” Anti-Gun Activist Lawmaker picked up his gun and took action in what apparently was a self-defense shooting. Why hypocritical you may ask? It is because his long legislative record shows that the actions that he took to protect his family, his own response to a dangerous life threatening situation, are actions that he feels ordinary citizens should not have if they were faced with an identical situation.

It has prompted some to ask if the Senator believes his life and personal safety is more valuable than yours or mine.
But, this is to be expected from those who believe they can run our lives, raise our kids, and protect our families better than we can.

just a little something to start the weekend off right.

Just a little inspiration to start your week off right.
