Ammo for printed guns
Michael Crumling, a 25-year-old machinist from York, PA has developed a cartridge designed specifically to be fired from 3-D printed guns. It uses a thicker steel case with a lead bullet inserted an inch inside, so that the case can contain the force of the blast instead of transferring that force to the plastic body or barrel of the gun. […]
Crossbreed Holsters vs. competition
MTC Holsters, LLC, (doing business as CrossBreed Holsters, LLC) has apparently begun the process of going after other holster manufacturers for infringements on certain features of its patented hybrid concealment holsters. Patents are worthless unless enforced.
Ammo, gun sales
It looks like ammo is generally easily available again, except 22 rimfire. We are even seeing some overstock sales on .223/5.56. Some retailers are mad at manufacturers for cutting prices on current production below that of previous shipments, thus undercutting retailers’ ability to sell stocked products for what they have in it. October 2014 has entered the record books for […]

Seriously, fake having a heart attack?
An ABC TV affiliate out of Houston, TX advises home invasion victims to fake having a heart attack or a breathing problem. In other words, play dead. If you do want to fight back, the station recommends pepper spray or a baseball bat. Me, I say play Rambo and whack ’em with a bazooka. Jackson, MS has the universal ban […]
Jackson (MS) felons
Jackson, MS Mayor Tony Yarber announced an initiative Tuesday that would eliminate disclosure of felony convictions on city job applications. Mayor Yarber, Ward 4 Councilman De’Keither Stamps and Ward 5 Councilman Charles Tillman, said city officials want to give everyone, regardless of background, a fair chance to get city jobs. Jackson is the capital of Mississippi. Next thing you know, […]
Election follow up
Some observations… True to predictions, liberal anti-gun President Obama was in Democratic US Senate candidate Travis Childers’ corner in MS. The day before the election I received a robocall from the President asking me to vote for his friend Travis Childers. The South MS Tea Party also showed its true colors by endorsing Childers in the general election. I wore […]
Guns in National Parks
Note that the NPS thinks that park facilities including rest rooms are relevant to “National Security.” I suggest that if you must go to a National Park, and then you must go, go behind a tree. Source: http://www.nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/upload/imr-guidance-2010.pdf
Buzz about possible attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch
Buzz about possible attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch. Apparently the buzz is because she’s black and female. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/11/06/low-profile-nyc-prosecutor-emerges-as-contender-to-be-first-black-woman-us/ Regarding the report that “She … was appointed to the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee, a position that required her to spend more time in Washington and drew her closer to Holder,” let’s not forget that ATF Director B. Todd Jones, who became […]
Fast & Furious documents released
Literally on the eve of the mid-term election this week, the Obama Administration finally released over 64,280 pages of documents that were illegally withheld from Congress after President Obama falsely asserted Executive Privilege on the eve of a contempt citation for Attorney General Eric Holder in June 2012. The release was ordered by a federal judge. It’s no coincidence that […]
