Coal Creek Armory chosen as GLOCK Law Enforcement Sub Distributor

This started as a comment over here but WordPress blogs think I’m spam. The NFA was one of the first times NRA got involved in legislation. The original bill, IIRC, pretty much mimics what DC’s gun laws were pre-Heller (i.e., any thing capable of firing more than 12 rounds without reloading was a machine gun and other things DC was famous for). The NRA, IIRC, got involved because the law was drafted so poorly and didn’t seem to know anything about guns (now, they just pass laws even if they’re drafted by people who don’t know guns). The intent was to regulate gangster weapons, like MGs, sawed off, and handguns. Handguns were dropped from regulation and suppressors (which were, frankly, fairly new at the time) were added because folks were poaching game on federal land.

Not the best solution but, at that time, a gun control bill was going to be passed.

This one is in Knoxville.

With your Glock:

HK417 did not pass German Army DMR tests

Teppo Jutsu/RRA 458.

The tiniest Sig: P290

Then and now.

In New Haven, SWAT teams are raiding night clubs.

You know, in the abstract. Not so much really punching them.

If you’re an advocate of firearms rights like open carry, then dragging a lady to the ground because she’s acting like an idiot is not the way you go about telling folks that we gunnies aren’t violent. Those actions will be generalized to the folks in your movement whether you like it or not. More here.

Via the Doc, I took this empathy quotient test. 27. A few points lower and I supposedly have Asperger syndrome.

Robb Allen:

Japete is at it once again, confusing “things that happen” with “being legal”

You mean speeding is legal? Sweet.

It’s kinda interesting living in an age where your daughter’s quiz grades are emailed to you. She’s scored 100% on her last three accelerated reader tests. So, go her.

And, the other night, she was playing Angry Birds on my droid. She comes up to me and says Daddy, I can’t get it to work. She shows me the screen. Somehow she had installed a speed dating application on it. Gotta watch those ads, I guess.

Mom’s first gun.

MJM:

The dimly lit corner of that parking lot. Getting out of your car at 11 pm behind your house. Both are common, increased-risk, “transition” scenarios. Low light scenarios. Then, there’s always that breaking glass at 3 a.m. clue that something is about to happen

Haslam has clarified his position on guns in parking lots. Unnamed Democrat says what you’d expect unnamed Democrats to say.

Campfield says this may mean that Haslam supports allowing permit holders to carry on campuses.

Haslam has come a long way since his days in Mayors Against Guns. Good for him.

This week at Range USA. I love the rules: NO EDGED WEAPONS ALLOWED! I know that swords, axes, machetes, etc. make great zombie killing tools, but for this event, leave them at home.

Otis McDonald: Every day people can make a difference:

Hats off to you, sir. Not bad for an Obama voter.

A custom 10MM 1911 from Kimber and Gun Talk Radio.

Bottle of salad dressing used as robbery weapon. Story ends well when shop owner pulls a gun.

I thought I blogged this but I guess not. Bushmaster says pulling the trigger may result in multiple rounds being discharged.

Paul Helmke would like you to know that that most women don’t like OC and that means that Democrats should support gun control. And we all know how well gun control worked for the Democrats in the past.

Heh.

A fuzzy pink SKS?

In MA, you’d need a license to own this pen. Or you commit a felony. Live free or there.

To start training for USPSA.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Says the SAF:

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and the Calguns Foundation have dismissed their case against Sacramento County, California and its Sheriff, John McGinness, after the Sheriff modified his handgun carry permitting policy. Law-abiding Sacramento County residents may now successfully apply for permits to carry handguns by asserting self-defense as a basis for carry permit issuance. A one-year residency requirement has been eliminated, as has policy language that tied self-defense to arbitrary geographic factors.

Entry level 1911s.

Michael Bane has a look.

Alan Gura says it’s the biggest threat to gun rights. I’ve met Alan a few times and this is one of the points he likes to make to us gun guys.
