I have been successfully marketed to

Apparently, everywhere I look a company called UNTUCKit has been marketing to me. They make casual shirts designed to be worn untucked. I mean, you can tuck them if you want. But they’re tapered a bit differently and aren’t too long when not tucked. I am not certain if, as part of their marketing plan, the online ads targeted me because I’m a gun person and Google ad services would know that. But the idea intrigued me a bit. A lot of gun folks wear something akin to what Tam calls “the gun burka.” Or dress like, as PDB* called them, tactical hobos. You know, oversized shirts, shoot me first vests, etc. And I was one to wear a button down shirt untucked regularly.

Anyway, I finally bought one. And wore it out on my birthday. And then I bought five more. I like them. I bought a basic white shirt. And a few flannel shirts. And some other patterned shirts. They look great, hide my gun and hide my Clinch Pick. They look decent with a jacket and are well made shirts.

But make sure you size up. That was one of the first complaints I saw at Amazon on them. So instead of a large, I got the XL.

You can get them at Amazon or their website UNTUCKit.com.

* Peace be upon his blog.

Update: They do not appear to market to gun toters openly. But they probably should.

That is the name of the first interstellar object seen in our solar system. A Russian billionaire and some scientists are trying to see if it’s emitting signals.

I’m not saying it’s aliens . . .

From Netflix:

The one were still scratching our heads about, the person who watched Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl 365 days in a row (streamin me timbers?). An impressive feat, especially as the average member watched around 60 movies on Netflix this year.

I’m not sure what worries me more: that I now know that or that Netflix knows this about someone.

The future is stupid.

The shocking thing about the piece is that the Moms claim to have 70,000 members.

The house passes reciprocity. Every body freak out.

Ah, the PSH is flowing. And I’m smiling.

First up, Governor Cuomo:

The appalling House vote for concealed carry reciprocity puts all New Yorkers at risk. This legislation would let individuals from out-of-state convicted of certain crimes carry hidden, loaded weapons in New York, in violation of New York’s much better, safer law. Only the NRA could propose something so ill-considered, dangerous and vile.

Lies in bold. Next, we have Bob Menendez (D-Ranged) threatening to break the law by unlawfully arresting those who would legally carry in his state.

And the MA AG has a whopper:

Reciprocity may be next deadly loophole in our nations gun laws

Look here, Sparky, I don’t have a fancy law degree not is profession in the law, like you. But a law is not a loophole.

Ah, the sweet, sweet tears.

There’s been a lot of this around here lately

Active shooter training comes to Tennessees Capitol Hill. Some locals were offering training to churches recently too.

Who doesn’t?

On the 1911

You know I’m a fan of the black plastic people poppers in the S&W and Glock variety. And I just don’t really think the 1911 is a good carry gun. I’m not a fan because it has less capacity, is heavy, and I’ve seen too many of them go tango uniform. But I think this is absolutely correct: The Best 1911?

House passes National Reciprocity

Yay. And on to the Senate, where I have my doubts.

It has attached to it the Fix NICS amendment, and there are apparently some concerns that it expands the list of prohibited persons. But that claim doesn’t appear to be valid.

And also HAHA!

I had a bunch of links to the PSH about this bill but it got to be too much. But you can get a taste at The Gun Feed.

The banned played on

Justice and ATF are looking to ban bump stocks:

Possessing firearm parts that are used exclusively in converting a weapon into a machine gun is illegal, except for certain limited circumstances, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) said in a joint statement. Today we begin the process of determining whether or not bump stocks are covered by this prohibition.

That whole Vegas shooting thing has really dropped of the radar, hasn’t it? Wonder why.

Guns exploding

Seems there’s a suit against Savage because one of their front-stuffers tends to get explody. Now, first things first, I know very little about muzzle loaders. But it seems with that type of gun, there’s a lot of points in the loading process that could break down. Such as using too much powder, not seating a bullet, etc. Again, I know nothing about muzzle loaders other than what they are. Anyone experience something like that?

There’s derp

And then there’s dangerous derp.

Yup

A look into the mind of the other side. As I have said before: There simply cannot be peace between our people and its entirely because of different mentalities, world views and ways of thinking.

Enforcing the laws on the books

The feds are looking at going after the guns of 4,000 people who passed background checks but should not have. This will be interesting to watch unfold.

But of course

Blame the victims: Gun theft from legal owners is on the rise, quietly fueling violent crime across America

Yes. But they are fun to shoot.

Are Revolvers Pass?

I have a revolver. A Ruger Match Champion. It is hands-down my favorite gun to shoot at the range. I’d never seriously consider carrying it every day. It’s heavy and only holds six shots. The M&P is fairly light and holds 18 BBs.

I’ve considered a pocket revolver but I’m thinking a single stack 9mm would be better.

Excellent

There will be a floor vote on National Reciprocity. But:

However, as predicted by Rep. Tom Massie (R-KY) the Fixed NICS bill has been merged with concealed carry reciprocity. It is now Title II of HR 38. Massie goes on to say that when the bill hits the Senate, carry reciprocity will be dropped and only the Fix NICS portion approved. Then given different bills have passed the House and Senate it will go to a conference committee who will only report out the Fix NICS portion of the bill. Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) has offered an amendment to the bill being considered in the Rules Committee that would drop the carry portion of the bill.
