Which Gun for the Mrs.?

Man, they’ll let anybody write for Shooting Illustrated. I kid. Someone you may know has a piece there on guns for the little lady.

Registration leads to confiscation

In Buffalo, the police are wanting to show up at the homes of the recently deceased to take their guns:

A plan by police in Buffalo, N.Y., to begin confiscating the firearms of legal gun owners within days of their deaths is drawing fire from Second Amendment advocates.

The plan is legal under a longstanding, but rarely enforced state law, but gun rights advocates say, with apologies to onetime NRA spokesman Charlton Heston, it is tantamount to prying firearms – some of which may have substantial monetary or sentimental value – from the cold, dead hands of law-abiding citizens.

“They’re quick to say they’re going to take the guns,” said Tom King, president of the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association. “But they don’t tell you the law doesn’t apply to long guns, or that these families can sell [their loved one’s] pistol or apply to keep it.”

King said enforcing the state law is the latest example of authorities targeting law-abiding gun owners, while doing little to secure the streets.

Is this the protecting or the serving?

Police do active shooter drill at a middle school. Parents and students not amused:

A school resource officer — who is a known presence on campus who wears a holstered, loaded pistol — and a local police officer carrying an unloaded AR-15 went room to room, telling the teachers and students that it was a drill, Brown said.

Training

So, instructor muzzles his own hand. Some shooting from laying down over your feet thing. Weird gun fu. Was that a hi-point? Let some guy handle a shotgun who clearly doesn’t know what he’s doing. I don’t know what a center axis relock is. Ninja crawls. And an AR with more shit on it than Jonathan Gruber.

Heard around the house

My son: Do you have an extra mouse?

Me: It’s in the office, by the desktop computer, under the monitor.

Son: What’s a desktop computer?

Me: *explain*

Just say no: When I am shooting, I want to see sights and not a geometry problem.

Putting agents who are not actually allowed to patrol the border at risk. I wonder which brand of M4 is getting pulled the most. I’m betting not the Colts.

Kids and guns

When you photograph your kid with a gun, they should look like they’re being safe, had some instruction and generally know what they’re doing.

Not have them strap on a Johnny Jihad mask while fingering the trigger.

Charge the doctor with the paperwork violation. Not the gang banger.

Because, you know, the gang banger shoots back.

Coat pocket guns

Caleb discusses them. I dunno, if I can wear a big coat, I can also strap a full sized auto loader on and wear it under the coat. But drawing it may be a difficult if I’m wearing a burka.

Also, kind of pondering a revolver because reasons. But then I talk myself out of it because then I’d have to hoard another caliber.
