In Colorado

Returning Colorado to free America. I hope so.

A PMAG you can dye

From Magpul:

10mm becoming a thing?

Sig came out with a 220 in 10mm.

And a new Glock in 10mm.

Gun hipsters agree.

Red bull gives you wings

Get it? Because a Taurus is a . . . nevermind.

You got screwed

I LOLd:

Chicks and guns

Detroit in the 40s, before decades of Democrat policy.

Zombies, Cannibals, and Nazis

Preparedness

We win because our enemies are stupid

Robbery at a Kroger, blame open carry.

The DOJ: Morality police

I thought that was a Republican thing but no. Operation Choke Point caught on tape

Ok, then

A holster secured by rare earth magnets. Those things keep popping up. I’m not sure how rare they are.

SEAGle:

Designed specifically for Naval Special Warfare (SEAL) units, the SEAGle combines the legendary firepower of the Desert Eagle in .50 AE with the reputation for quality and reliability of SIG SAUER® firearms.

But how’s the graduate program?

A degree in event planning.

But for video

Remember that police man who shot himself because the clerk handed him a loaded gun and the police man didn’t follow safety rules so he’s suing the gun shop? Well, there’s video.

NYPD: Empty tube is a weapon of mass destruction

Ok, then.

Thoughts on ATF’s letter on the SB15

Michael Bane offers his.

Some legal type guy does too.

Let’s get the obvious out of the way, it’s stupid. Saying that using it in a way other than intended “redesigns” is asinine. If I use the magazine well as a forward grip, I’m not redesigning it. Also, US Code defines a handgun:

(29) The term “handgun” means—
(A) a firearm which has a short stock and is designed to be held and fired by the use of a single hand;

I guess if you’re using two hands to shoot (like you fucking should), you’ve just redesigned your Glock.

My guess is what really happened is the first letter was approved without appropriate supervision; or they didn’t realize the can of worms they were opening.

As for what to do, I’m keeping mine as a collectors item. I imagine there probably won’t be many more made.

As for what to do legally, I dunno. Perhaps a class action suit against ATF for relying on their initial letter?

Thoughts?

Narrative

Racist tea partier shoots black cop. Oh, wait, not exactly.

A year later

Illinois passed licensed carry and everyone predicted blood in the streets. But, as is always the case, nothing happened.

Where Great Britain Used To Be

Pants shitting hysterics over one of their fairy tale, government moochers having guards armed with Tasers and guns.

Interstate Transportation of Firearms and Ammunition Bill

NRA reports:

H.R. 131 would ensure the law has the effect Congress intended when it passed more than 25 years ago. Specifically, the legislation would make clear that transportation of both firearms and ammunition is federally protected, as well as expand the protections afforded to travelers to include “staying in temporary lodging overnight, stopping for food, fuel, vehicle maintenance, an emergency, medical treatment, and any other activity incidental” to the trip. Additionally, the bill would place the burden of proof clearly on the state to show that the traveler failed to comply with the law.

Good. But a few states completely disregard current law. They’ll disregard this one too.

I’m a fan of Raven Holsters

They’re what I carry now. Their newest holster, the Eidolon.

Good for them

Para issues statement on anti-gun Liam Neeson using their guns.

But I read on the internet AKs can’t hit the side of a barn from inside the barn

4 AKs at 300 Yards!

Korth 9mm Revolver

Because who doesn’t need a belt fed?

The further adventures of Obamacare

Remember when if you liked your plan, you could keep it. And you could keep your doctor too. Except that I couldn’t. Nor could most people, apparently. Well, Friday, I received a 14 page questionnaire from my tax guy regarding health care coverage for 2014.

I wonder what this will cost me.

ATF kills SB15

Once again rescinding a prior ruling, ATF says shouldering a brace redesigns something and is a no no

Update: The market has spoken.

January 15, 2015

When attending a gun rights rally, it’s important to break gun laws

Is that a SB-15 pistol with a VFG on it? ATF says it’s a no go despite a couple of courts ruling against them.

Things that look like very bad ideas

Zero Carry. No trigger guard and stick something up the barrel, no problem.

Tactical Facepalm

hurrdurr

During the Charlie Hebdo attack, gunmen forced a woman to open the door. They went in and shot up the lobby. Then went to an editorial meeting where, over the course of five to ten minutes, they executed people. As an interesting aside, they first went to the wrong business. Details here.

So, if one were to recreate what happened, they’d probably do something based on what happened. Or, instead, you could get some firearms trainers who know how to handle simunitions, let them strap on their gear and tell them to go practice a room-clearing exercise on random people you got to volunteer off the street to play CCW holder. Surprisingly, the firearms trainers manage to outperform the random people from the street.

Then, you could compound the error by inviting local media. Then, you get picked up by all the shitty, sensationalized listicle sites and are all over social media. And, boom, you got self-promotion. And since, based on my unscientific study of reviewing what stupid shit people put on facebook and twitter, roughly 95% of the population gets their news from shitty, sensationalized listicle sites, that was real helpful, guys.

I mean, I guess they could have had the random people on the street toting the terrorist rifles and peopled the room with Todd Jarrett, Jerry Miculek and Dave Sevigny to sway it the other way.

This was a stupid thing to do. And gave the other side simunition for years.

Not helping

So, the TX house is installing panic buttons because open carriers showed their butts there.

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