In Alabama, an 11 year old shot a burglar then made fun of him for crying like a baby:

Gaither said he was scared, but wanted to be prepared so he grabbed a nine-millimeter hand gun.

When he was coming down the stairs, thats when he told me he was going to kill me, f-you and all that, Gaither said.

The intruder made it out the front door with a hamper in hand.

Thats when Gaither started firing off bullets. As the intruder was about to jump a fence in the front yard, Gaithers 12th and final shot hit the suspect in the leg.

Not sure the particulars of Alabama law but shooting a fleeing burglar is, typically, not considered self defense. If he’d shot him when he was being threatened though . . .

Truth:

Heres the thing, though: the NRA is actually right, in this case. If smart guns get any traction, then non-smart-guns will come under legislative assault.

Yup. I don’t care if anyone invents one, per se. But I’d never own one.

Joe wonders why the president wants to propose gun laws that won’t do anything.

Interesting. I’ve never tried the Aquila 60 grain but have heard it’s not for autoloaders. And keyholes at about 20 yards.

Lots of pics from Kevin.

And the police are not too thrilled about being guinea pigs for the idea:

Police officers in general, federal officers in particular, shouldnt be asked to be the guinea pigs in evaluating a firearm that nobodys even seen yet, said James Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police. We have some very, very serious questions.

Smart guns are dumb.

A silly law proposed in California (of course) will allow your neighbor, boss, random healthcare professinoal or whoever to take out a “gun violence restraining order” for likely no reason.

Now legal in Oklahoma.

News here. I heard the press conference on the radio and he took way too long introducing her.

Looks like our legislature finally got a pro-gun bill to Haslam’s desk, without it dying in committee. We’ll see how he reacts. NRA is encouraging you to contact his office and urge him to sign it.

Headline: Pepper Spray Flies During Trump Protest Clash in California

Four paragraphs in, you learn the spray was used on the pro-Trump contingent. If you read the headline and first few lines only, you’d think the opposite.

None, at all. Also, Mr. and Mrs. America aren’t turning them in:

But experts and law enforcement cant point to any actual impact: no magazines turned in, and none seized as a direct result of the local large-magazine bans on the books.

She’s for them. She’s against them. Kinda depends on the audience.

Whistling shotgun slugs. That first shot looks to me like it may have gone over the berm.

In NYC. It goes about as well as you’d think:

Some SJW at Jezebel is butthurt because an NRA exhibitor was wanting to hire cute, young and not pierced women to work the show floor. Just like you see at the show every year. Or any car, boat, motorcycle, insert thing guys like show on earth.

Sure, I see it as lacking in class and probably tasteless, but calling out the gun industry is very “meh”

The repeal of the ban on standard capacity magazines failed in the house.

Better yet, have two.

First, you might go to jail. And second, they might just sue you:

A burglar who broke into a Dunkirk mans garage has filed a lawsuit against the homeowner for shooting him.

Authorities said David A. Bailey, now 31, of Albany, broke into the garage of Dunkirk resident David McLaughlin on April 21, 2014.

McLaughlin, now 33, fired gunshots at the intruder he saw fleeing from his property, in the 400 block of West Commerce Drive. One of the bullets hit Bailey in the left arm as he ran down an alley.

In September 2014, a Jay Superior Court jury found McLaughlin guilty of criminal recklessness in the shooting. Judge Max Ludy later sentenced the Dunkirk property owner to 60 days in jail, to be followed by four months on home detention.

Well, you made it further than I would have. I dunno if I’d have made it past the 9mm v. .45 stopping power thing.

Heh:

Heizer Defense Introduces the PKO-45. A 5+1 .45ACP that its only 0.8 inches thin. And the barrel is under the guide rod, which they say helps recoil. So, a pocket 45?

A NFA dealer had registered pipe bomb receivers, homemade claymores, and flamethrowers for sale at a local gun show to, basically, make fun of how silly gun laws are:

The Houston PD and ATF were not amused. But couldn’t do much about it.

The TSA found a record 73 guns in checked bags this week.

A rundown on the changes right here. ATF would like you to know that, even if your state made it legal, it’s still a federal crime to smoke marijuana.
