Chris has opened up his gunsmithing website: Crispin Arms.

Kevin is not optimistic. And this is scary: more than one-third of the total wages and salaries paid in the U.S. come from .gov payouts.

Get a large demographic dependent on the government.

Jay runs the math on the Chevy Volt.

Crimson Trace developing a laser sight for lever guns.

Prosecuting a man handing out jury nullification literature for jury tampering. Brilliant plan if it gets to court. His literature will be submitted as evidence.

A gun turn-in program in Nashville.

Update: In comments: this may run afoul of the Safe Schools act since the location is 600 ft from an elementary school.

Governments do allow people to violate gun laws during these things, I’ve found. Gun buy backs in Cali, for instance, don’t require background checks for the transfer.

Do want: Trail Judge Mare’s leg in 45 and .410.

Pocket 9: Kahr CM9

AR-15ish that takes 1911 magazines.

You’re missing limbs, have weather-proofed ammunition, or have more than seven days of food. Well, two out of three ain’t bad.

Specialized Tactical Limited Edition Zombie Gun:

I didn’t know the big, shiny goober indicator now came in black and was less shiny.

In an effort to gin up support for California’s ban on weapons that look like assault weapons, the SF Weekly uses photos from the video game HALO.

Being a douche won’t win many converts.

From TacticalMachining: all manner of lowers in different calibers.

Is how the TSA utterly failed:

A man convicted of getting a free ride from New York to Los Angeles using an expired boarding pass with someone else’s name on it will be freed from federal prison having already spent five months behind bars.

They don’t even mention TSA, only screener and hostess.

Few days back, I noted a sound suppressor equipped with a muzzle brake. Well, the Barrett Blog responded in comments: The thinking behind the design is to use the suppressor’s brake to train with and take it off for non-training use.

The Army Times: Colt, S&W among those out of carbine bidding

Amazing but Eric Holder actually blames The Daily Caller for the Fast and Furious fiasco: You guys are behind it. That’s ballsy.

Info here. Looks to be a compact, 1911 in 9mm based on the P238.

I’m really trying to wrap my head around this. First, calling someone who is gay a sodomite POS. Then this. So if you like kissing, you’re a sodomite? Only gay people kiss? Ok, then.

A primer

Balko: Cop shoots at unarmed man, arrests unarmed man. Unarmed man somehow still charged with “aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.”

Isn’t this kinda like raping someone and leaving a $20 when you’re done?

Mentioned the Diamondback DB9 last time. Well, a couple of reviews are here and here.

For GunNuts Media.

Dangerous weapons

Never let your muzzle err bayonet cover anything you’re not willing to destroy.

Well, this one.

Tom has a nice write-up.

A piece on five great defense weapons from Town Hall lists the Taurus Judge. Please stop telling people that a .410 from a short barrel is good for defense. It won’t penetrate a two liter bottle. No, I don’t want to get shot by one. But that’s not enough penetration.

This nice holster, that was in my house this past weekend, from Dragon Leatherworks is up for grabs. And it’s for a good cause.

Because it comes back really fast: A gun unexpectedly recoiled on Freeman.
