Carnival of Cordite #11

Oh drat!

I've been busy with maintenance of this website, and I lost track of the really important stuff.

Carnival of Cordite #11 is UP!

Keeping abreast of the latest RKBA issues has become a priority here, especially since there has been a dearth of IPSC issues to talk about for the past several weeks. I've found that this is a great place to graze for up-to-the-minute commentary and analysis, and I want to encourage you to use it as a weekly resource if you're at all interested in these issues.

Gullyborg of Resistance is Futile! has been organizing this weekly compendium of RKBA bloggerfests for about 3 months now, and it has become so labor-intensive that he has been farming-out the hosting duties ... which is why Pajama Pundits hosts this latest edition.

The mere fact that they have commented favorably on some of my contributions has nothing at all to do with my enthusiasm for the round-robin TFH. I swear this is true. (But my ego appreciates the adulation, and my blog stats are consistently HYPED when the Carnival publishes every Friday and all the readers chase the links. No writer objects to having been read!)

As a brief aside, I mentioned the other day that I wanted to host a bloggerfest, but it's really hard to find pro-gun bloggers in the red state of Oregon. Let me see, there's me, and there's gullyborg, and there's Brian who hosts the Albany IPSC website, and there's ... well, I don't know for sure. I'm waiting to hear from them. This may not fly.

In the meantime, I've invited gullyborg to attend the next IPSC match in the Columbia Cascade Section of USPSA. (All of the referenced websites are linked in the sidebar, which you will be able to find more conveniently when I get he weekly archive list moved further DOWN the sidebar!) I don't know if he's ever seen and IPSC match, but I thought it would be a good way to meet and get to know each other better.

No response yet from my private email to gullyborg. I suspect this is due to his busy schedule as a Law student at the University of Oregon. If he can make it, I hope to have some photos and text of the event sometime next week.
