Shoot it!

**this is quite possibly, the grossest shot I have ever done

This is the handgun that gun hubby pimped out because he was bored. It’s a 40 cal Glock, frosted nickel finish with high polish nickel and black chrome zebra stripes.

It’s my blog post day at Murder She Writes and I’m talking about random stuff AND I’m giving away TEN $15 gift cards to lucky random commenters! Check it out:

Sparklies, Cookies and Why I”m Hammered (Figuratively!)

That you’ve got too much time on your hands. If you’re making homemade marshmallow chicks. Let me repeat that, this woman, listed a freakin’ RECIPE for making your own “Peeps” type marshmallow chicks. From scratch.

Aren’t those packages of peeps like, ten cents? WHY would you make your own?

Key Guns – look at these oddities – pictures and text from cracked.com

First used in the 16th century, key guns allowed a jailer to keep his weapon throughout the entire extremely vulnerable process of opening a cell door, thus never leaving him unprotected. Well, all except for the times when he’s actually using the key/barrel end of the pistol to disengage the lock. That’s right, key guns weren’t just shaped like keys to throw people off or disguise their nature as pistols — they’re both functional keys and functional pistols(presumably so that if some uppity lock ever has the balls to stick on your watch, you can just shoot it off like a Renaissance Bruce Willis).

We get the feeling that not all implications were fully considered here. For example: Where do you keep your keys? If you said “dangerously close to my crotch,” well, that’s a weird way of saying “pocket,” but no less technically correct. Plenty of people keep guns in their crotch area, sure, but what separates this is that the loop of the key (i.e., the place where you hold or pick it up) usually serves as the trigger for a key gun as well. So what are your Weaponized Door Access storage options? You could always hang it from one of those giant old-timey key rings that medieval jailers use in the movies. But then wouldn’t you be suspending the pistol by its trigger and shooting yourself in the thigh with every jangle? Shit, we give up: If you have a convenient way to handle this thing without turning your own legs into gunshot-wound pie, speak up, because we’re drawing a blank (unlike that unstable key gun pointed at your crotch).

It’s the spring equinox. Anyone else gonna try and balance an egg on its end today?
