Lake Mary, Florida police officer Zach Hudson is running classes to teach teachers how to deal with potential school attack scenarios in ways that don’t involve using guns. He urges them to “tap into that anger” and do whatever is necessary to ensure the safety of their students. With the exception of the HSLD interaction at 1:55, it’s all about taking the initiative to give resistance to the bad guy. Since most of these pathetic individuals give up as soon as they hit any real resistance at all, that can’t be anything but good. Click here for the video . . .
Elliot Fineman, president of the National Gun Victims Action Council, on economic pressure: “We would target a couple of these states — Wyoming for example, where both senators voted against the background check law,” Mr. Fineman said. “We would simply let those senators know that if they didn’t vote for the law, we would call for a boycott of their state. If you don’t vote for it, we’re going to hurt your state, big time. This country runs on money. It’s as simple as that.” Boycott Wyoming? What do they produce that you could effectively boycott? Who goes to Wyoming? Well, except hunters and some skiers, and they’re not going to listen to this ninny or his insignificant organization.
It seems likely that the Izhmash-Kalashnikov AK-12 is out of the running for equipping the next generation of Russian military after all. According to Isvestia (and translated for us by Pavel M.), quoting a representative of the Ministry of Defense, “The AK-12 assault rifle did not pass preliminary trials, and was not even submitted for the final government trials. Instead, we have picked the assault rifle by the Degtyarev plant as the battle component of ‘Ratnik.'” A member of the trial committee said the samples showcased by Kalashnikov did not satisfy the committee neither by accuracy, nor by reliability, nor by ergonomics. It is possible that the AK-12 could make it back into the final trials if Izhmash-Kalashnikov can rectify the issues found, though since it didn’t pass the preliminary trials all further testing will have to be paid for by the factory.
A Pacific Standard editorial has deemed a female zombie target (above) “misogynistic” because apparently only men and animals are allowed to be zombies. The target company’s lineup, which includes clowns, Nazis, aliens, terrorists, and gun control lobbyists (all male) was apparently completely unobjectionable ’til the introduction of “The Ex.” Each zombie target includes a short backstory, and this one is that she cheated on her boyfriend, for which he turned her into a zombie. Bonus points for the (male) author referring to her infidelity as “a woman’s ownership of her own sexuality.” Why do I feel like that argument wouldn’t work if the roles were reversed? [NB: The company has since changed her name from “The Ex” to “Alexa” and given her green skin, because apparently that’s less objectionable.]
A California update… The petition drive by the Firearms Policy Coalition to urge Gov. Jerry Brown to veto the 14 gun control bills on his desk is taking action tomorrow, October 3rd. At 9 a.m., Brandon Combs, managing director of the FPC, and a representative of the California Association of Federal Firearms Licensees will deliver 65,000 pages of petitions in 13 boxes to the office of Gov. Brown. Which he will likely ignore. It’s highly unlikely he’ll veto any or all of the bills, and also unlikely that he will sign them, preferring to continue to ride the fence by allowing them to become law without his signature.
This video is titled FULL AUTO. That’s all I’m gonna say. OK, I lied. Can someone identify the gun at 1:10 with the (comparatively) slow rate of fire?

Who comes to Wyoming? Hopefully fewer rich Californians and New Yorkers with their McMansions.
If there are no hostile witnesses, why stick around in the first place? Pick up your brass and disappear. Avoid the Zimmerman scenario if you can. If they do find you, then lawyer up. Then the Zimmerman persecution is a good defense for leaving.
Not good advice. You or a witness should be calling 911. Flee and the cops will assume the worst, and you will be digging yourself out of a deep deep hole. There have been incidents where the would-be muggers have called 911 in a DGU and said that they had been assaulted by a man with a gun. Then the cops come looking for you with their guns drawn. Unpleasant at best, fatal at worst.
Be the one to call the police, tell them the witnesses then lawyer up. Say nothing else until advised by counsel. Even if it was justified, a break in and the person is dead on your floor with a gun in their hand still lawyer up. My 2 centa worth, and I am NOT a lawyer. Just gan owner with a healthy distrust of the police, from my own family getting jammed up for something they did not do.
The full automatics looked like a lot more fun than when we were using them in Vietnam. I was sitting here going, I want to do that. Then I remembered I sort of did. Don’t want to go back and do it again. Maybe it’s different when the target can shoot back.
But it still looked like fun.
Go ahead. Boycott Wyoming. We Wyomingites beg you. STFU and just do it. Don’t darken our borders. We’re just fine with that.
Fewer anti-gun pinheads from the coasts is exactly what we’ve been wanting for years.
The truth is, most people from the coasts are pussies. One winter here and they skeedaddle right back out of here.
There’s a reason why we like our winters here. Given the alternatives – quakes on the west coast, hurricanes on the east coast, tornadoes that can destroy cities in the midwest… our winters are a pretty good deal.
In the next 24 hours, we’re supposed to get 12″+ of snow above 4000′ elevation in the middle/eastern part of the state. Winter has arrived.
Whoa man, I live on the coast but believe me I would ditch this burning hell of heat and ocean for the winter and mountains any day. Cant atm…but someday.
Great letter to the editor, I’m surprised they printed it. There is no constitutional right to own and operate a car. There is a constitutional right to possess a firearm. The founders of our country believed that owning a weapon was a basic human right, and a basic responsibility of every citizen, not to be subject to the whims of government intervention.
Gun control works! Come to Mexico where our law-abiding citizens are mostly unarmed! Sure, our criminals arm themselves with assault rifles, machine guns and goddamn grenade launchers, (which are 100% illegal in Mexico and HEAVILY regulated in the US) but at least knowing that these laws are in place will ease your minds.
A much more affordable alternative to a fully armored vehicle is to security film applied to to inside of your vehicle’s windows instead of or in addition to standard tint film. Judging from videos I’ve watched of people trying to smash through windows with security film it would have given the driver plenty of time to realize he needed to back out of the traffic he was stopped in.
SO what happens when the FOID card expires? Do they come and confiscate your firearms?
Teaching teachers to use the dark side? Arent we all afraid that will encourage teachers to flip out and attack the students? Apparently they do that a lot. Or so Bloomberg has told me so.
When it’s a gun your taught awareness, focus and mindfulness. Yeah, blind rage reaction is a much better thing to foster than mindfulness.
I don’t understand the elevation of law enforcement to super human status. The only diffrence between me and a cop is blue cloth and some metal for a badge.
actually several parties did see it coming, including recently deceased author tom clancy.
“You may be a gun nerd if:
-The first thing you noticed about this picture was the good trigger discipline all around.
-The second thing you noticed was the woman on the right may be muzzle-sweeping another person. Bad form!
-You notice absolutely nothing else.”
