What do you have to hide?

Seattle police won’t release dash cam video until the statute of limitations runs out.

Very Cool

The guys at Leupold make range finding equipment for golfers and long range snipers. So, why not load some golf balls with things that go boom and shoot them.

Let’s go Krogering

I think I will. Good for them.

Chicks and guns

A Girl and Her Gun is giving away $300 towards any reputable beginning self defense shooting course.

Crumbling

Mike and David report that ATF has relieved Fast and Furious managers from duty just before the OIG report. Is Holder doing something or have the scapegoats been found?

Men err Presidents are from Mars

Obama is a time traveler who went to Mars. I love conspiracy theories.

Shoot me first vest

Caleb reviews the Woolrich Elite Fleece Tactical Vest.

I went with the less expensive, non-tactical version which basically does the same thing. And it keeps me toasty.

10/22 and tracer ammo

Cool video

More AK bumpfire stocks

Mentioned the Bumski yesterday. Well, Slide Fire, who makes the bumpfire AR stock, now has a bumpfire AK stock.

Mayors against illegal guns

Gun Owners v. illegal mayors: tn hcp holders are more law-abiding than maig members.

Is it so much that we’re winning or that they’re just losing?

Gun Control: A Movement Without Followers. Aside from the gratuitous reference to Giffords that’s so prevalent these days, not a bad article, especially since it’s owned by Bloomberg. More from Joe who wonders if we’re winning the culture war.

Personal space

Mark the boundaries. This is probably second to situational awareness in terms of self defense.

I’ve blogged about people lacking respect for personal space before.

I don’t think that was effective

Fox:

Cali said the man took out several firearms and, in an effort to prove they were safe when the woman asked him to put them away, held one to his head and pulled the trigger, thinking it wasn’t loaded.

And he’s a Navy SEAL.

In NC

Percentage of people with carry permits.

The local press notices the New York Times twisted the data on gun owners.

Santorum on gun rights

Not so great. He’s also supported gun locks and background checks on private sales at gun shows. Of course, he also opposed the assault weapons ban and is against frivolous lawsuits against gun manufacturers.

Growing market segment

Guns create jobs. Yes.

Just this week, some family friends (a couple) who are not gun people called me up to say they’d signed up for a handgun class next weekend. They wanted to borrow some guns, holsters and gear. They’ve not decided which guns they want to be so I’ll let them try a few out.

What caliber for angry mob?

#Riot: Self-Organized, Hyper-Networked Revolts—Coming to a City Near You

Gun Porn

Rossi M92 Carbine .44 Magnum

These candles will as much to stop the gun violence as much as the Brady Campaign.

Movie Review Haiku

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil:

Stupid college kids
Hillbillies are people too
This vacation sucks

Seriously, one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a while. I recommend it.

Innovative

A paracord survival bracelet with a hidden handcuff key.

Update: That link is working some times but not others. So, you can also see it (and buy it) here.

The NRA of India

They have one and it scored a decent victory:

Acting on a petition filed by the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI), the Supreme Court issued a stay order against the Delhi High Court’s decision to bring air guns under the purview of the Arms Act of 1959.

Another victim of NYC’s gun laws pleas

Plead to misdemeanor to avoid jail.

Odd and tragic case

Reserve deputy is killed at back yard range when a gun discharges while in a range bag:

According to the report, Brenda H. Sims, 59, of 3552 County Rd. 30 wanted to practice shooting in order to qualify for her pistol permit. Her husband, Robert Gary Sims Jr., 45, also a reserve deputy, set up the targets in the back yard and then brought out the bags in which the couple stored their guns. When Mr. Sims set the bags on the truck, he heard a pop, looked over at his wife and saw her slumping down. One of the guns had apparently fired from within the bag.

I wonder how that that would have happened. Presuming a handgun, was it loose in the bag?

The Bumpski: Bumpfire Stock for AK Pattern Rifles

I guess since the SlideFire for AR-15s, the folks with AKs wanted a way to more quickly turn money into noise:

And it’s aluminum.

Glockworx and Brownells Glock Slides

Optic Cut Slide for Glock 17s. They look pretty sharp. You can buy them directly from Brownells.

Abuse of power

Police officer gives a woman a ticket. Then tracks her down to ask her on a date.

Another tragedy

Cop shoots ATF agent who was stopping a robbery.

We must ban pellet guns

Police shooting at a school of a teenager who was brandishing a gun. Turns out it was a pellet gun. Good shoot, but tragic. If someone is pointing a gun at you assume it is a gun and act accordingly.

More knife blogging

The Miller notes the CRKT EDC. It’s at amazon for $17.

The Constitution: not applicable

The NYT seems to think following the constitution is quaint. Obama just wipes his ass with it. But that’s what politicians do.

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