So, what caliber for riot?

Police shoot black guy. Black people riot. I’d suggest avoiding riots. But these guys opted for 5.56 for riot:

Nobody is robbing St. Louis Ink Tattoo Studio anytime soon. Or County Guns, for that matter.

The two north county businesses share a storefront in a Florissant strip mall less than ten minute drive from the epicenter of last night’s riots in Ferguson. After nightfall, what began as a community’s peaceful demonstration against the Ferguson Police Department’s shooting of unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown turned increasingly violent. Crowds plundered a QuikTrip and burned it to the ground, and local news began reporting brazen raids on other stores in the area.

After hearing of the roving bands of looters, Mike Gutierrez knew he had to protect his tattoo shop. He brought a posse with him, including Adam Weinstein, owner of County Guns, who was acutely worried about criminals getting their hands on his merchandise.

If this was LA, once the riots were over the police would come and arrest you.

How far we’ve come

The rule, I was told by someone at NRA who would know told me once was, was that we don’t talk about NFA. Seems if the average congressweasel knew that you could buy suppressors or MGs, they’d freak right out. So, they let it lie. Well, the recent surge in the popularity of suppressors continues to turn the NRA around: NRA Supports the Use of Suppressors for Hunting in Florida

Excellent! Basic safety equipment shouldn’t be regulated.

So, did the app work?

Reactive Steel Targets

A review from Oleg:

I am a big fan of steel targets.They make long-range marksmanship practice a lot more fun. At close distances, they help new shooters develop greater confidence in their abilities. Recently, I had the opportunity to test targets made by Multiplex Systems in Minnesota, distributed through ShootSteel.com.

Cops kill a man at Wal-Mart who was carrying an air rifle

TDC says a man was killed with a toy gun he may have been planning on buying:

A man who was carrying an air rifle in an Ohio Wal-Mart told the police officers that fatally shot him that the gun was “not real,” according to a family member.

John Crawford was shot by police Tuesday evening at a Beavercreek store. The Ohio attorney general’s office announced Thursday that he was merely carrying a brand of air rifle that Wal-Mart sells.

Another shopper, 37-year-old Angela Williams, collapsed and died as she scrambled to get away after police fired at Crawford.

The shooting occurred after police responded to 911 calls about a man carrying a rifle. In one of those calls, which was released by police, a Wal-Mart shopper told emergency dispatchers that it looked like the man — later identified as Crawford — was trying to load the rifle and that he had pointed it at two children, WHIO reported.

So, the question is this: Why was the rifle not in the packaging?

Yes, next question

Should college let student carry a gun? The woman has a stalker.

Can someone translate stupid into English?

I read this. Black people and gays carrying guns would, apparently, be a problem? That’s just a guess as it otherwise made no sense.

And I think that taking a political issue and making a kids book out of it is silly.

BRB election results

I’m half way watching and listening to local results. Seems Campfield may have lost to a guy who may not live in the district.

Would you buy a gun from this man? Or a “smart gun”?
