Lost one

North Dakota is not really a state.

Benefit of Concealed Carry

It cures rude New Yorkers.

Rule 4

11 year-old girl killed by celebratory July 4th gun fire.

God damn it. Firing a gun when you’re not sure of what you’re shooting at is one of the dumber things you can do.

Suing google over privacy

Apparently, those google map cars driving around taking pictures for streetview were also poking around in unsecured wireless networks. As such, some residents in Nashville are suing.

Here’s an idea: secure your wireless network.

Perry comes out against new federal gun rules for border states

And there’s a pic of him shooting an M32 grenade launcher.

Team Erhardt: First Title

First loser is still something to be proud of.

In DC

A shortage of police, so firefighters deployed to protect summer workers. Stop or I’ll douse you?

Also, the shortage and “mountains” of paperwork make getting a gun there difficult.

Fifth amendment: Never heard of it

The Obama administration says it can force you to decrypt your laptop.

Serpa Issues

I’ve heard and mentioned criticism of the Serpa holster in the past. After this video of a guy shooting himself in the leg, Caleb thinks there is something to it.

The company you keep

Another member of Mayors Against Guns getting charged with a crime. This time, child pornography.

It’s a recurring theme. I posit that the average member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns is more likely to commit a crime than a carry permit holder.

Blount County Tax Revolt

In The City (My The City) we’re having the same problem other cities are having. Our politicos like to spend our money on their pet projects and other things. But with projected increases in spending, they want to vote to raise taxes. Some locals are starting to notice:

Rather than dealing with our County’s Spending Problem, our Blount County Commissioners voted to increase your property taxes another $3.6 Million dollars.

Update: Background here.

Via MKS.

ATF gunrunning

Justice Department tampering with witnesses?

The press lies about the whole thing. The paper of making up the record says we should feel sorry for all those ATF who had to resort to this.

Under the radar gun control effort.

They need someone named “republican candidate”

Because that guy is ahead. Actual Republicans, not so much.

Democrats to introduce gun control tomorrow

Katie Pavlich:

U.S. Representatives Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY), Elijah E. Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) will join other members and a leading law enforcement organization for an event Friday, July 15th, 11:00 a.m. at the House Triangle to introduce the “Stop Gun Trafficking and Strengthen Law Enforcement Act,” which establishes a dedicated firearms trafficking statute to empower law enforcement to keep high-powered firearms out of the hands of dangerous criminals, including Mexican drug cartels.

Does it ban ATF from selling guns to Mexico? See, we gun owners should have to deal with this because ATF let guns go to Mexico where they were used to kill. Makes perfect sense. It’s like it worked according to plan.

Bloomberg money and gun control in Memphis

The Comical Squeal:

Memphis’ $4.8 million will be used to revive areas of the city cut off by highway construction and approach handgun violence as a public health crisis, according to Mayor A C Wharton.

No details on that handgun violence thing, though.

The middleman

Obama: “Gimme your taxes or I’ll take away Grandma’s check”

Sounds good to me. I’ll keep my money and write my own checks to grandma.

In my method, overhead is zero.

Firearms Freedom Act

A gun activist in Montana is looking to test it:

With a homemade .22-caliber rifle he calls the Montana Buckaroo, Gary Marbut dreams of taking down the federal regulatory state.

He’s not planning to fire his gun. Instead, he wants to sell it, free from federal laws requiring him to record transactions, pay license fees and open his business to government inspectors.

I admire the spirit but I think this could be one of those bad lawsuits a few smart people have warned us about.

Shotguns

Regarding yesterday’s zombie shotgun post, Never use a shotgun as your goto zombie weapon.

“deputy chief executive of nothing right now”

What’s up with all the weirdness in Arizona? The heat?

About that dual brake shotgun

Linked the pic yesterday. It’s a design by Dreadnaught Industries who do custom Saiga guns.

Alex the owner writes:

That is a pure competition gun, designed and built for the “action shooting” games like International Multi-Gun or USPSA 3-Gun. The mid-barrel compensators cover a series of small ports that introduce gas into a larger chamber with either angled vents or internal baffles in order to reduce muzzle movement. Testing at Dreadnaught led us to believe that the combination of angled ports and a mid-barrel compensator reduced perceived recoil by about half. Jim, a great guy and talented gunsmith over at Firebird Precision, builds a heavily raked single chamber design (usually employed in pairs) that also works well and looks rather sporty!

Indeed, it does look sporty.

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