hmm...

Aside from the fact that another one of my posts is up on Buckeye Firearms today, I've got nothing to write about. (& try not to crash the site like you did last time, okay? I'd like the fine people who work so hard on that site to continue liking me.)

So I'm going to tend to my garden, go to the range and then visit a friend afterwards. I will also, sometime today, try to answer my email.

Feel free to fill up my comments with any questions you may have about, well...anything. I'll happily answer them in another post.

And to keep you amused in the meantime, here's a photo of one of my sneaky attempts at humor in the book displays at the library. No one has ever noticed but I get a chuckle every time I walk by...

the birth of a gunblogger

Shortly after I learned how to shoot, I had an epiphany. It ended up changing my whole life.

Today Buckeye Firearms has republished the post I wrote as a result.

update: Oopsie. The site is down. Did I break the internets?

I knew a hero.

One of my older blog posts has been chosen as a headline story for the entire weekend at Buckeye Firearms.

A deeply personal story, and difficult to tell, I wept as I wrote it...
So, go. Read.

yay me, part 2

Another of my blog posts has been republished on Buckeye Firearms. They've even included the photos - it looks very tidy and professional, if I do say so myself.

I was also invited to be on the Buckeye Firearms Editors list. I'm not quite sure what all is expected of me yet, but I'm happy to help where I can. I am the first female in the group and I'm looking forward to being able to offer a unique viewpoint.

But...I do not not know why or how this all happened. I blame Mike. When I was trying to think of something to write about he suggested, "You've started shooting. Put that in your blog." (& he has hardly stopped giggling to himself about this Editors List business. "My wife! Famous gun writer!" And then there's that other thing about being contacted by a certain photographer...Oy. He's going to be impossible.)

So I started writing things about guns and shooting on my little livejournal. I read Tam and the Cornered Cat and said to myself, "Cool! I can do this! It's okay if I do this!" So I moved to blogger and wrote some more. People started noticing that I could string words together somewhat coherently and, well...the rest is history. Now they're even naming shotguns after me. (what? no?)

And hey, where are my wheelbarrows full of cash? Ammo is expensive and I have a leak in my dining room ceiling! I'm waiting.

Yay me!

The vice chairman of Buckeye Firearms Association contacted me last week with a request to republish one of my blog posts on their site.

I (of course) was thrilled and honored and gave my full permission for them to republish any of my writings regarding firearms and the right to bear arms.

The first of three Breda Fallacy posts appears on their site today.
Go see!
