Way back in the early days of gun blogging, there debates about gun and ammo selection. You know, Glock v 1911; 45ACP v 9mm. And others. And your gun sucked and you were holding it wrong. AK and AR etc. This was when words like poodleshooter were used.

Then, one day, it seemed like all the people that would be considered in the know on how to shoot stuff started carrying black plastic guns, in 9mm, that hold lots of bullets. Usually Glock 19s.

Good thing gun culture on the internet survived as long as it did.

This is true.

And the next change we’ll see gain acceptance is that of the superiority of Kydex holsters. What better thing to put your black plastic gun in than a black plastic holster?

Apparently, there is now an injury known as “Avocado Hand“. It’s a knife not a rocket.

The Army thinks it needs a bigger bullet.

Carrying a Gun Does Not Justify Detention, Indiana Supreme Court Says What other civil rights could police detain you for?

Heh

Heh.

Well, I do wonder how someone who claims an odd gender gets a passport.

A bit of an impromptu trip that was fun. And didn’t look at a computer the whole time.

Antique cane gun.

I’ve known Bob on the internet for years, from his days at Confederate Yankee and Bearing Arms. I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with him a handful of times. The first time was at the Lucky Gunner machine gun shoot, where he and I were neighbors during a class given by Tom Givens. I’d also run into him at the NRA annual meetings. At the meeting in Nashville, Bob’s picture of my gun in its holster lead to the NY Times issuing a retraction to a story about how guns weren’t allowed at the meeting.

Bob was always funny, witty, and laid back. He was always smiling. He’d wander around the NRA floor or to a Moms Demand protest and get off a blog post. And I wasn’t sure how he was able to it so fast. He had a great sense of humor too.

Bob is no longer with us. He apparently shot himself after leaving a chilling message on facebook. He never struck me as the suicidal sort. I’m shocked and saddened.

If you’d like to help his family, there is a fundraiser set up for that and you can donate here.

But it makes sense: THE PROBLEM WITH HANDLOADS FOR DEFENSE

Bloomberg’s $20M mistake

Though it is lacking the actual trigger pull, if this could be done correctly, I’d buy some. Drop in a dedicated magazine and no need to rack your slide for dry fire practice.

A middle schooler was suspended for liking a photo of an airsoft gun on Instagram.

Police: 2 dead, 8 hurt in shooting at Brighton Park memorial for earlier rifle slaying

Let’s take the ergonomics of an AK and add them to an AR:

Also, it seems that in the fire position, it interferes with the trigger finger.

Hand engraved Glocks. I don’t see the point.

Right here. Mostly handguns. And, apparently, quite a few people lose suppressors.

Handgun sales are up 53%

Kit Up:

The U.S. Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps all intend to replace the M9 9mm pistol with the Armys new Modular Handgun System, service officials said today.

I don’t think giving the police the power to shut down people’s phones without cause is a good idea.

In effect

Heres all of the guns the ATF took from Pasadena Police lieutenants Sierra Madre home

It has passed the House and the Senate. Tennessee law now is basically a duplication of federal NFA laws. So, the state bans suppressors. However, it is an affirmative defense to prosecution that you jumped through all the federal hoops and have a tax stamp. So, if the national Hearing Protection Act passes, Tennessee should be good.

Lock your damn doors.

My kids always, in an annoyed tone, ask: Why do you always lock the doors? And I respond with So I don’t have to shoot anyone. I also lock my truck doors. Just the other week, someone broke into several vehicles around here. Just the unlocked ones. I have video of the perp trying to open my truck, realizing they were locked, and leaving. It works.
