Coming soon...

We have all seen the Carnival of the Recipes posts.  And most of us are familiar with many of the other blogger carnivals, like the Carnival of the Cats, Carnival of the Capitalists, etc.  So what can I do to add to the carnival mayhem?

I'll tell you what: the Carnival of Cordite!  That's right, GUNS!

I will do my utmost best to make this a regular carnival, hosted for now by yours truly, and eventually going out to a rotating group of guest hosts.  What do you need to do?

1) Write a post for your blog relating to the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, marksmanship, product reviews, or other topic of interest to the gun-owners community.

2) Post a link to your post in the comments section below, send a trackback, or if you are not a blogger, paste your entire article into the comments.

3) Have your entry for this week in by 12 AM Friday morning.

4) Tell all your blogger buddies.

5) Volunteer to host future carnivals.

And finally, check back this Friday (probably in the evening) for the Carnival of Cordite premiere!

UPDATE: you can now send e-mail to the Carnival of Cordite mail address!

To prevent spam, I can't just type out the address.  Please follow these instructions:

Use the address below, without any spaces, using the punctuation marks that are spelled out in bold italics.

Can a blogless person submit a URL for a stray html page?

This is a very good idea and I would like to participate if I can put together something amusing. I'll need my helper to work the camera, and she *hates* guns, but I put her in a very good mood this weekend.

Hell, I'll go first, since my entire blog is pretty much dedicated to 2nd Amendment posts.

My most recent one on the topic is entitled "Fear, the Philosophy and Politics thereof"

The URL is http://smallestminority.blogspot.com/2005/02/fear-philosophy-and-politics-thereof.html

Just to warn you, I tend towards the long-winded.

Well I have a few things coming up, but I've got this posted on the 14th, so hey.

It's about the myth of AR unreliability.

Yes, all websites are fine, even if they aren't blogs.

Thanks all for what you've submitted so far. I hope we can get a few more before Friday... TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!!

I gots me a blog where I yap about guns every Thursday. The stuff I have for tomorrow isn't going to be of much interest for most folks, but a few people might find my post from last Thursday worth reading. It's about strange autoloaders:

Here is one that is part of a series we are doing. Each part stands alone and this one is on financial costs of shooting. Thanks, looking forward to Friday.

My latest gun post is "Surfing the RKBA Blogs, " now updated to include the Carnival of Cordite. This looks like fun!

Here's one I did on violent confrontational crime, self defense & denial of the responsibility or neccesity thereof.
