Is that Santa or a Soldier of Fortune? Maybe it’s both.

Tue, 12/30/2014 - 14:36

The first two pages of a magazine are the most expensive, besides the back cover. Tracking Point is eager to get noticed. This amazing technology is like the Top Gun movie, where the pilot is told when to shoot.

Here’s their ad (sorry I don’t have a bigger scanner)

Snyder Turns RINO: Vetoes Pro-Gun Bills

Mon, 12/29/2014 - 12:46

We have a Republican-led legislature in Michigan, we have passed pro-gun bills, yet what does our “Republican” governor do? He vetoes them.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Gov. Rick Snyder has vetoed bills that would have loosened Michigan’s licensing restrictions on air guns and limited local governments’ freedom to set their own regulations.

Snyder said Monday that only part of a package backed by the National Rifle Association was sent to him before the Republican-led Legislature adjourned its two-year session. He says enacting just four of seven bills would create contrasting definitions and legal inconsistencies.

The NRA says Michigan is one of four states classifying most pellet guns as firearms.

Snyder also has vetoed legislation that would have prorated fees for liquor licenses.

He says it’s a “sensible” reform but would cost up to $600,000 in revenue. Snyder says he’s also concerned about limiting penalties for businesses that repeatedly sell alcohol to minors or visibly intoxicated customers.

Brilliant Gunsmithing Ad from AGI

Sat, 12/27/2014 - 23:30

Here’s a brilliant ad from AGI.

Why is it brilliant?

#1. Powerful visual that breaks through the clutter.

#2. Simple headline that’s easy to remember and forces the reader to answer. If you say no, maybe you’re not meant to be a gunsmith unless you have the drive to become one. If you already have that drive, then chances are you’ll be visiting the website.

#3. There’s no fluff copy, no over promises, no overuse of adjectives which often indicate tall tales. AGI just gives you the facts, and that’s what makes it credible.

When Stun Guns Fail, Real Guns Work

Fri, 12/26/2014 - 11:07

Nothing beats the stopping power of a firearm…

BEDFORD, Ohio (AP) — Police in suburban Cleveland say an officer responding to a disturbance call fatally shot a man who brandished a knife and moved toward officers after they tried to subdue him using a stun gun.

The confrontation happened Friday morning in Bedford, about 10 miles southeast of Cleveland.

A statement from Bedford police Chief Kris Nietert (NEE’-tert) says the man confronted officers, acknowledged he had a weapon and reached behind his back. Nietert says officers used a stun gun, but that wasn’t effective. He says the man pulled a knife, moved toward police and was shot by one officer.

The man was taken to a hospital and died. The medical examiner’s office identified him as 43-year-old John Hebebrand of Bedford.

Nietert says the officer is on paid leave, per department policy.

Why Stun Guns Are Not Good Enough

Mon, 12/22/2014 - 22:47

One argument among anti-gun circles is that we could carry stun guns, pepper spray, and less than lethal devices. Well, here’s what happened to a cop who decided to pull out a stun gun against a naked pervert:

Worst Headline for a Gun Ad

Sun, 12/21/2014 - 21:04

Every gun owner knows “Fast and Furious” was a shameful program to force gun dealers to sell guns to criminals so the ATF could track them. So why would POF (Patriot Ordnance Factory) do this? Irony? Accident?
