...Gun Shop Owner Announces ‘Extreme Changes’ in Wake of Chattanooga, Declares Store ‘Muslim-Free Zone’
My buddy Andy made both The Blaze and the Drudge Report this morning. I believe he is going to be on both CNN and ABC later today.
A Florida gun shop owner announced on Facebook Saturday that he will no longer sell or serve to the Muslim community.
Florida Gun Supply owner Andy Hallinan said in a video uploaded to the social media platform that the “extreme changes” were made because of his “moral” duty to his country.
“Now, I have a moral and legal responsibility to ensure the safety of all patriots in my community,” Hallinan said in front of a Confederate flag. “And so effective immediately I’m declaring Florida Gun Supply a Muslim-free zone. I will not arm and train those who wish to do harm to my fellow patriots.”

Social Security Administration to Strip Millions of Americans of their Right to Keep and Bear Arms
As the L.A. Times reported this morning, the Social Security Administration (SSA) is currently developing a program to strip the Second Amendment Rights of over four million Americans currently receiving SSA benefits through a “representative payee.” Not only would this amount to the largest gun grab in American history, but according to the published report, would take place without any due process protections for recipients, amounting to a nullification of Second Amendment rights for millions of Americans who don’t pose a threat to themselves or anyone else.
...Choosing The Right Concealed Carry Weapon
Selecting the concealed carry weapon that is right for you is a very specific task, and may involve some amount of testing on your part to find out what works for you and your situation. Offerings by Glock, Colt, and Smith & Wesson are very popular items for concealed carry for a variety of reasons. There are tons of them in circulation. They’ve been tested as tried and true for quite a number of years. Many police forces rely on firearms from these manufacturers to protect their officer’s lives on a daily basis.
...ITAR & You
Recently, the State Department announced that they intended to make some changes to ITAR regulations as part of the President’s Export Control Reform efforts. You may have heard the Internet chatter about this measure and the proposed implications of it silencing the media when it comes to posting technical information about the manufacture of weapons (firearms and ammunition.) That being said, there’s more to it when you dig a little deeper, which is exactly what I’ll be doing in this article.

...Chicago’s Top Cop Shows Gun Bias
Sadly, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy seems to really believe that merely possessing guns will turn you into a violent killer… presumably through some sort of mind control:
“It’s real simple,” he said at the conference. “Gun possessors are potential murderers. If they don’t learn a lesson for carrying the gun, they keep carrying the gun. They get into an argument, now instead of fighting, they shoot.”

Whataburger Cracks Down On Open Carry

Whataburger’s president says many customers have expressed concerns about being around people who openly carry guns.
People can carry concealed weapons… But open carry is not allowed.
Armor and Ammunition; Choosing the Right Bullet Proof Vest
One of the most important aspects of choosing body armor is preparation; knowing the different varieties of body armor, and being aware of the threats they are designed to stop. In the same way that weapons are designed to use certain types of ammunition and cannot work otherwise, body armor is designed to protect against certain calibers of ammunition, and will not protect against higher levels of ammunition. Body armor is not simply a ‘one size fits all’ product, in terms of protection or fit, and it is very important to be aware of what exactly each level of body armor can protect against.

Dumbest Thing You’ll See Today
As if the idea wasn’t dumb enough, the description from the manufacturer’s site gets even worse:
More a piece of equipment than a regular “cover,” the Gun Grip Case transforms your iPhone 5 into a handgun! Available in black, white or pink, this fake “pistol” works with an app so you can interact with a digital version of the gun in the same color on your iPhone 5 screen. The app means you can play games of Russian Roulette at parties! Don’t worry, you can’t actually shoot anyone!
