The Power of the POTUS

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

LawDog writes a bit on what the Constitutional powers of the POTUS are. In the closing he remarks:

Are we so desperate for an absolute monarch that we blindly and joyously allow our Presidential candidates to claim powers that are restricted to Congress?

Yeah, I think that’s about the state of things.

S&W Revolver Lockup

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

It happened again.

A few years back S&W started shipping their revolvers with an internal lock. You use a special key to engage and disengage it. It seems simple enough but every now and again you see reports one just locking itself while firing. Every one that I’ve heard of has occurred in a small, lightweight, magnum caliber pistol. This one is no exception.
