Hey, Koolaid

This Three Bloom Boutonniere:

Their shop is pretty interesting.

A bit back, PDB mentioned on the bookface that Colt was now making 6920s sans furniture (well, a pistol grip to keep springs in). I put that in the back of my mind and, while cleaning out the gun stuff the other day, found that I had a full set of gray Magpul furniture. I purchased the LE6920 from Tombstone Tactical, for a great price ($720 and shipping). After it arrived, I realized it also didn’t have a trigger guard. Anyway, here it is out of the box:

And here it is decked out in gray:

So, basically, $720 for a gun, a few bucks for a transfer, and $150 for Magpul goodies gets you into a damn fine AR-15.

Does this mean the Army will get with the 21st century and adopt JHPs:

At the event today, among changes discussed was policy that now opens up the competition to rounds other than ball (full metal jacket) ammunition.

From the bookface, comes this reddit thread:

“Snuffy” Pfleger, in a ridiculous lawsuit, is suing 3 Chicago suburbs because they haven’t enacted gun control to keep guns out of Chicago. And Reuters says:

A group of civil rights activists on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against three Chicago suburbs to force them to take stricter gun-control measures to stem the flow of weapons into the city’s crime-ridden neighborhoods.

What “civil rights” are they advocating? Seems to me they’re inherently against the fundamental right to arms.

I guess it’s a “drive by fruiting“

Interesting case from FL:

A state appeals courts is set to hear arguments on whether guns should be allowed at University of Florida residence halls.

The 1st District Court of Appeal next Tuesday is scheduled to take up a case filed by the group Florida Carry Inc., which says people have a legal right to possess firearms in their homes, including in university housing. An Alachua County circuit judge last year sided with the University of Florida in rejecting the groups arguments in the case.

In court briefs, Florida Carry pointed to a state law that seeks to ensure people can have firearms in their homes and to the U.S. Constitutions 2nd Amendment. It said the state law about guns in homes supersedes another law that generally bars guns at schools and colleges.
