Chronicling the depravities of the State.
Funny how little things like large sums of money and cars missing can start up an investigation of a police task force. That’s what’s happening in the Twin Cities area. And now the FBI are joining in the investigation…
I guess questions are asked when $18,000 of money goes missing and important documents mysteriously get shredded. Who would have guessed?
I just finished up doing a project that’s been on the back burner for far too long, gun documentation.
Gun documentation is simple, you document all the guns you have. I know that a lot of people scream that this is a bad idea and only facilitates helping the ATF when they come to steal your guns. That’s why you keep this documentation private.
Why would you want to do this? Simple so you have proof of the firearms you own. Should the worst happen and your guns get stolen you can provide the documentation for the stolen guns to the police. This is so they know what they are looking for. It also allows them to report the guns to any gun stores or pawn shops so they know if somebody tries to sell them the gun they can report the person. This is actually a good idea to do with an expensive property which you lack a deed for.
The documentation is pretty simple. For the basics you really only need the following…
That’s it really. Now you can just write down the serial number if your camera isn’t capable of getting the serial number. I prefer a photograph because of two reasons. First you won’t run the possibility of incorrectly recording it. Second it shows the serial number of the gun you photographed which proves the gun was in your possession at some point in time.
Make sure you keep a copy of this information offsite as well. Of course that rule applies to all documentation information.
Good news in Texas…

The Texas Senate just passes a law that allows students with Texas carry permits to carry their guns on campus. It looks like Texas decided they don’t want any active killers on their campuses. Good job you guys.
The bastion of common sense security, Bruce Schneier, speaks his mind on the appointing of a cyber security Tsar…

As the man himself puts it.
Really what I think is it shouldn’t be anybody. We do better without a top-down hierarchy. Our economic and political systems work best when there isn’t a dictator in charge, when there isn’t one organization in charge. My feeling is there shouldn’t be one organization in charge. Not only shouldn’t it be the NSA, it shouldn’t be anybody,
I find myself agreeing with him yet again. I don’t know where this idea of appointing so called “Tsars” came from since we aren’t a Russian Monarchy but it’s getting bloody annoying. Having a single person in charge of anything generally fails. That’s why we have the Senate and Congress (granted they don’t really do their jobs in my book). Our founding fathers saw first hand what having one buffoon in charge does so they set up a system with many buffoons in charge.
Having a single person in charge of anything, especially security, leaves a single point of failure in the system.
