“An Arizona man who sold ammunition to the gunman in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history has been charged with manufacturing armor-piercing bullets,” apnews.com reports. “A complaint says unfired armor-piercing bullets found inside the Las Vegas hotel room where the attack was launched on Oct. 1 contained the fingerprints of ammunition dealer Douglas Haig of Arizona [above].” Previously, Mr. Haig had admitted . . .
he’d sold ammo to Stephen Paddock. He’d publicly claimed that he’d noticed nothing suspicious when he sold 720 rounds of ammunition in the eventual killer weeks before the Mandalay Bay attack that killed 58 people.
“I was not in any way, shape or form associated with the horrible crime that he committed,” Haig said at a news conference Friday at the Phoenix-area office of his attorney, held shortly after he was charged.
Mr. Haig also revealed he’d sold Mr. Paddock “tracer rounds” from his home in Mesa, Arizona.
To everyone slagging on the gun-bimbo’s looks: While one might fairly characterize Ms. Hathaway as an ornament offering high liability and minimal practical value, I propose that her ability to get hired as a corporate flight attendant based in Maui strongly implies that you are wrong about her physical attractiveness.

Maybe I’m off base but I get the impression that a lot of guys have trouble enjoying a woman without the lady clown paint, yet at the same time can’t even tell whether she’s wearing it or not. Perhaps that’s what’s happening here?
To everyone calling for a boycott: Mr Butler did the right thing. He disavowed and canned her promptly. No marketroid doublespeak bs. Meanwhile Glamour interviewed 2 other ladies from Taran Tactical (scroll up from the gun-bimbo), who both sound comfortably and authentically based. It’s great that gun owners are so energetic about voting with their wallets but these are not the droids you are looking for.
Mr. Butler seems to me like a stand-up guy who let a nice-looking bimbo into his circle without much scrutiny, then when she acted out publicly, he cut her out again with no dithering and no [further] drama. In other words he made the most common man-mistake in the universe, then handled it as well as could be expected of anyone.
There is nothing to indicate that Mr. Butler nor the rest of the people who work for him are anti-gun. Find someone more worthy of your boycotts instead of doing our enemies’ work for them and crushing a genuinely gun-friendly business and all the POTG families who depend on that business, especially after they already cut the b**** loose in a heartbeat.
Happy trails,

Ridiculous. He shouldn’t have been charged, and the prosecutor should never have taken it to trial.
As is so often the case, the process is the punishment.
So…fingerprints find arrested persons…no surprise there.
Sometimes the smart crooks never get caught, so their prints are not on file.
So…you never know…do you?
For most recent information you have to pay
a quick visit web and on world-wide-web I found this website as a finest site for newest updates.
No, they are not friends of the 2nd amendment, HOWEVER they are slowly being pulled into opposing some gun control ideas and bills simply because they have implications for rights they care about. Hence, they opposed the “no fly, no buy” initiative because there was no due process involved. Due process is a right they care about. I would expect there to be other cases like this in the future. It should also be said that there are local ACLU chapters that are friendly to the 2nd amendment, but they are few and far between.
“LEO friends in South Africa have shot hundreds of people with 115gr +p HP rounds (mostly Cor Bon), and they’ve been very happy with it, much happier than they ever were with hardball.”
I’m confused – were the hundreds of shot people happy that they were shot with HP? Were some of the shot people hit with both HP and hardball, and preferred being shot with HP?
Or were the LEO’s happy?
What a pant load.
Nothing worse than some broke (D)head cops.
For nearly 30 years I yearned for two watches, the Rolex Daytona, white/stainless and the Submariner black face and crown, bimetal bracelet. I now happily wear the latter daily, and hope the former wont take another 30 years to acquire.
Is there a point to a luxury watch? If it has to be explained, it’s likely pointless to you, and that’s ok.
From a tactical practical standpoint the Sub is very tough, never needs winding or batteries, is submersible to 1000ft, the hands glow. . . ok, So you could get watch that does everything it does with enough money left over to get yourself a Cabot 1911, two if you get cheap ones. . . and just like the Cabot, if you’re not into them, it won’t make any sense. If you are though. . . it doesn’t need to make sense.
22CFR§ 478.11 Meaning of terms. Armor piercing ammunition.
Projectiles or projectile cores which may be used in a handgun and which are constructed entirely (excluding the presence of traces of other substances) from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium; or full jacketed projectiles larger than .22 caliber designed and intended for use in a handgun and whose jacket has a weight of more than 25 percent of the total weight of the projectile. The term does not include shotgun shot required by Federal or State environmental or game regulations for hunting purposes, frangible projectiles designed for target shooting, projectiles which the Director finds are primarily intended to be used for sporting purposes, or any other projectiles or projectile cores which the Director finds are intended to be used for industrial purposes, including charges used in oil and gas well perforating devices.
Thank you. I appreciate when people dig a little deeper. (TTAG writers take note… this is how it’s done…).
Well, its probably wrong, however it’ll be enough to bankrupt this guy with legal bills, which is really what they want to do anyway.
I was hoping they would do this. the other one looks like the holster bit off the front of the gun while it was being drawn. not to mention that now the gun has a longer barrel to get as much velocity it can out of it and still be a nice small gun with a barrel longer than the others in this size class. I may buy one myself.
9mm is like Jenifer Aniston. She does everything well and is just sexy enough to keep your attention, but you know you catch yourself checking out that tiny hotty in the new rom com (380), You secretly lust after that one actress that’s been in everything (45 ACP), that starlet that just burst on the scene in that hot new movie everybody is gabbing about (357 SIG), and then there’s the always voluptuous Gal Gadot (10mm).
There’s an old Hotrod axiom that holds true for guns as well.
“There’s no replacement for displacement.”
So, some steel core handgun rounds or something? Did he even use a handgun?
Wow this is some BS. And on a day the naive see how corrupt their precious FBI is. BTW what kind of dude sells ammo as a “hobby”?!? Anyone???
Well, if you’re not really making money from it, or not trying to make money from it, is it a business even if you sell items occasionally? The IRS doesn’t take kindly to people running a “business” (ie: writing off their hobby) with continual and consistent losses and no profit.
“Blocked from hiring great talent”…for driving a car? Geez driving a car doesn’t take great talent. I’m no fan of the ACLU but I’d USE them if I had no alternative-their hypocrisy and antipathy towards the 2A notwithstanding…
if cops are enforcing an UN-constitutional “law” on you, personally, then, you got a right to SHOOT them!
“The American Civil Liberties Union does not oppose gun control laws. As an organization dedicated to defending all constitutional rights, we believe the Second Amendment allows reasonable restrictions to promote public safety…”
Therefore the ACLU has pre-determined that every gun control law is ‘reasonable.’
Funny that they don’t think the same about police searches no matter what public safety is being promoted.
I think a handgun is far better since you can maneuver is easier and still have one hand on the steering wheel so you can get out of there.
Uh… ever heard of a ‘hand-gun’?
That first picture looks like it came from canyouspot.com.

On our small family-owned farm that has been land-locked by non-native subdivisions, we have a simple, but effective means to deal with predatory wildlife that threatens our livestock , and may or may not be federally protected: the 3 S’s – shoot, shovel, and shut-up. Kind of patterened after “concealed means concealed.”
She can holster that revolver anywhere she pleases
Aren’t these ARX rounds cut from copper? The only thing holding me back from carrying ARX rounds is cost . Will these make a an acceptable price point?
The ‘faith in public sec urity’ was sorely displaced in the first place. They were the ones who brought in millions of foreigners who not only shared nothing in common with the locals but despised them as sub-human infidels, and then refused to ask them to assimilate.
“We Must Have Order!”
Uh, ham & Swiss on pumpernickel? 8>
“…mistrust and fears are growing, faith in public security is waning and the state’s sole authority to impose order”. Yep, that sounds awfully familiar. Personal defense is having a plan and having access to appropriate tools to be able to execute and defend that plan. Reliance on others to protect you is a fools errand. I know that I’m preaching to the choir here but there are a whole lot sheep out there who are are going to be in trouble if the SHTF; just sayin…
It would be hard for me not to choose a larger bore with a barrel that short. I have trouble getting past that in this video. I suppose I am a bit neurotic about efficiency and tailoring. I realize that not having relevant combat experience and not having studied such fighting, I may be wrong about what would be most appropriate.
Have the policies of the State (Germany) been increasing or decreasing order?
“What is it going to take to stop buying the fictions being peddled by the national gun lobby?”
One of the standard lines of both the NSSF (the actual gun industry lobby) and the NRA (the largest gun owner lobby) is safe storage. The NRA is the only actual gun safety organization that I hear about outside of the gun community. The gun lobby is the only one that offers actual common sense firearms policy: education.
Point being, it isn’t the “gun lobby” that is peddling dangerous fictions about guns.
Ankle carry never really appealed to me. Unless you are sitting most of the time, I never really saw the point.
All the news that fits the narrative and nothing more.
No way,nowhere and no how. That reminds me I need some more tactical pants with a kajillian pockets…
I used to teach the local hunter safety course for public land here in Australia.
The identity your target part was very hard for some people to grasp. Usually the I’ve been shooting for x years and I know everything person.
I would agree with the above comments on flooring it and running over/ramming the threat, but sadly, my personal vehicle is not Mad Max ready and the only thing between my radiator and the bad guy, is a bit of flimsy plastic. Old flimsy plastic, at that. I can sort of push things, but not ram.
That said, however, I do carry my pistol with me at all times. My folks say I’m paranoid. I say, I’d rather have my gun and not need it, than need my gun and not have it.
Also, my windshield needs replacing anyways.
Since .45 ACP is well documented as not only a man stopping caliber, but also a soul disintegrater, I’m sure it would evaporate a pesky spirit with no issues.
“These are devices that are designed to kill a lot of people quickly, and I’m not sure that we ought to be compensating people for giving up these devices that never should have been purchased in the first place,” he said.
Such treachery, can we bring back the Gallows; hanging is better than feffe powder puff deserves. Drawn & quartered perhaps?
Must be a good movie…
We need to ship a bunch of this stuff to Brazil so we can start seeing videos of how well it actually works on humans.
Thanks for posting this. I’m making a list of civilians who help or save a policeman with their carry weapon. It’s for my college research paper.
