What gun for Elf?

That’s not an elf gun. That’s an elf gun.

Impressive

Two deer are tangled up pretty bad in a fight. A hunter to the rescue. Nice shot.

Unpossible

A gun from Chicago found at a murder scene in Canada.

Do not try to catch a dropped gun

Graphic photo of what happens when you try to catch a 45-70. Lucky man.

Good thing no one was hurt here.

When Tennessee makes the news, it’s usually for something silly

In Chattanooga: Tennessee Boy, 4, Found Near Home With Stolen Presents, Drinking Beer

I’d have gone with guns

In Chicago, police are handing out whistles to fight crime. Probably comes with a side of wishful thinking.

Fourth Generation Glock Picture

Supposedly:

From Gun Porn

Click to embiggen.

Via a reader seen at GlockTalk.

Update: Spent a few pixels talking about it (see here). We knew about the backstraps. The magazine release looks bigger. And it has a different textured frame and it looks like Steve was right about the texturing. Obviously, we cannot tell if it has the supposed double recoil spring or what any of the different internal parts are.

Deal Alert

Stripped AR lower receivers for $50.

I ordered two.

Messages

A lot of gun blogger sorts wear various shirts with political messages on them. I never really have. But I think I’m gonna start. What are some of your favorite pro-gun shirts and where do you get them? I’ve always been fond of the Celebrate Diversity shirt.

mom rules

Every year, my wifes asks what I want for Christmas. And she says other family members want to know what I want for Christmas. And I say ammo, 5.56Nato or 45ACP. She always says they’re not getting you ammo. Not sure why. It’s what I want and I’ll put it to good use. My folks call last night and ask me what I want for Christmas. I say ammo. Mom says OK. Sweet.

Terrorists

At Ft. Benning, there’s this sign stating that if you don’t register your weapon, you’re a terrorist.

Check the rims

Some Speer ammo shipped without rims.

Do not try to catch a dropped gun

Let it fall:

a federal agent explained that everything was a terrible accident, he assured how his fire arm was going to fall and as he intended to reach for it the .40 caliber discharged, wounding his brother as he walked in front of him.

As I’ve said before, that should really be rule #5 of firearms safety.

Interesting

Supposedly, a reporter had inadvertently left a hunting rifle in the trunk of his car when he went to cover an Obama speech. He wasn’t allowed in. But I do note it odd that in this account of the incident that the reporter’s name doesn’t appear anywhere. Meanwhile, papers across the country love to post databases of people with handgun carry permits. Because the public has a right to know.

Guns on trains

Barack Obama signs bill allowing firearms to be checked in baggage on AMTRAK trains. Just like on airplanes. PSH ensues. Also, amusing:

The bill text was correct when the House approved the legislation last week and the Senate followed suit Sunday. But somewhere in between, the language that referred to putting the guns in locked boxes morphed into stuffing “passengers” into locked boxes.

Aides to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) became aware of the problem Wednesday night as the House voted on its final slate of bills for the year. Pelosi’s staff tried to negotiate with Republican aides to see if they would agree to change the text of the bill without revoting the entire piece of legislation. But it was all for naught as Mr. Obama had already signed the measure into law.

It’s clear the typo alters the intent of the legislation. But no one quite knows the origin of the mistake.

I seem to recall a campaign promise to not hurriedly sign bills and to read them and stuff. Like his other promises, that one came with an expiration date.

A review here.

Federal regulations require compliance with crew members instructions, lighted information signs, and posted placards at all times

Chuck Schumer calls flight attendant a bitch because she asked him to turn his phone off. Living under those laws you pass is kinda annoying, isn’t it?

Note: it’s a stupid law. If your phone could take down a plane, they wouldn’t let you on with it.

Even more layers of editorial oversight

The press is wondering how a mental patient got a handgun. I’m wondering how he got a 25MM handgun.

More hidey holes

Places to hide your guns has been a topic of interest here lately. A lot more stuff on that here.

Looking at the sun

A 700 lumen tactical light?

Layers of editorial oversight

In the same press account, the man had a gun and also didn’t.

Reading

Got a copy of Assault on Weapons: The Campaign to Eliminate Your Guns by Alan Gottlieb and Dave Workman in the mail yesterday.

Getting their new media on

Ruger has a youtube channel.

Warning labels

Hey, can you not point that gun at me. That laser is potentially dangerous to my eyes.

Miss something

Miss something gun related this week, you can probably find it at the second amendment news round up.

Climategate gets more interesting

Russia confirms UK climate scientists manipulated data to exaggerate global warming.

Hoplophobia

Caleb:

What a terrible life that must be – seeing monsters behind every fence, living in constant fear. It’s no wonder so many gun control advocates are mentally imbalanced, that kind of strain would be nearly impossible to bear.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
