National Presto Industries announced Friday that it had finalized the purchase of DSE, Inc., a Tampa, Florida-based company that makes 40mm ammunition for use in grenade launchers. DSE is a competitor to NPI’s existing AMTEC business, which makes ammunition, fuses, cartridge cases and other military equipment. NPI is possibly the weirdest combination of companies I’ve ever seen, with the DSE/AMTEC segment servicing the defense industry, the Presto segment manufacturing the Fry Daddy, pressure cookers, and other kitchen appliances, and the Absorbent Products segment engaged in the manufacture of private label adult incontinence products . . .
A recent spike in home invasions around Mishawaka, Indiana has nervous homeowners dialing 911 at the slightest noi… Oh wait, no it doesn’t. Let’s try again. A recent spike in home invasions around Mishawaka, Indiana has nervous homeowners arming themselves at a rapid pace in recent days. News of nine home invasions in two months has people from all walks walking into Midwest Gun Exchange in Mishawaka, according to general manager Brad Rupert. “Everybody from 18 to long guns, 21 for hand guns on up to the 90s, over 100, we’ve certainly had customers of that age as well. We’ve seen a large increase in first time buyers. Or people who are here to buy something specifically for personal defense or home defense.” Rupert advices any first time gun owner to take a class and spend time getting comfortable with their gun at a shooting range.
A man in Stanley, Wisconsin is charged with being an “unlawful user of methamphetamine in possession of ammunition” under federal firearms law after being found in possession of 39 rounds of .338 caliber ammunition in October. If found guilty, he could face up to 10 years in federal prison. That’s the same sentence his partner in crime faces for being a felon in possession of the .338 rifle and ammunition. Seems legit.
The California Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld an appellate decision (by declining review) that said cities and counties can ban guns on public property, including parks. One justice, Marvin Baxter, voted to take up the case, but four votes of the seven member court are required for review. The NRA and Calguns argued that a San Mateo County ordinance conflicted with state law, which allows people to carry firearms in public if they have a concealed-weapons permit from the county sheriff. The San Mateo law, which dates to 1934, prohibits guns — as well as slingshots and bows and arrows — in all parks and recreational areas except designated shooting ranges.
Just for fun, tnoutdoors9 uses a 12 gauge Winchester Partition Gold Sabot Slug to “displace” 200 lbs of water from a “virtually unbreakable” Rubbermaid Tub.
And yes, I do believe he got his money back.
Oh, dear…I have > an arsenal.
In San Francisco.
Arsenal-ish?
WTF happened to my tie!?!?
Trigger discipline never was a priority in the Feinstein family.
Makes perfect sense to me. These are my three favorite products.
At least I know what round to use when bears attack my kitchen,
It’s no secret that .338 magnum is the caliber of choice for felons.
Please don’t propagate the idea that there is a 21 ft rule. There is only a drill run at 21 feet to help you understand how fast an attacker with a contact weapon can close distance. Here are two articles explaining that there is no “Rule”.
The first one is an interview with Dennis Tueller the inventor of the drill.

” At the same awkward moment, Edie and Charles both realized that they should have read farther than Chapter Two in Paladin Press’ “Kidnapping Neighbors for Fun and Profit”.
Great entry. Thanks for sending it in!
These laws that threaten 20 years in a cage for simple possession of substances and guns are insane. We already have laws for the harm people can do with guns and/or while under the influence of anything, or under any other circumstance.
Putting people in cages (knowing they will likely be raped) who have not harmed anyone is a clear sign of a sick society.
“unlawful user of methamphetamine” huh??? how, and is there a “lawful” use of meth?
What we really need, to keep the children safe, is a massive new federal government program. This one will be about guns. Instead of “If you like your current insurance, can keep your current insurance,” you’ll have “we’re keeping the children safe for future generations.” Both are wonderful promises. Both are bullshit.
America will not have safety, financial success, or freedom until it returns to a limited government that respects the rights of its people. Since we are being systemically outnumbered and outvoted by dumba$$es, that may not ever happen again, and America is declining in strength and influence because of it.
Bill and Sharon realized ammo was cheaper than divorce lawyers
I don’t have a choice. Pepper spray is legal in MA, but Tasers aren’t, even with a license to carry.
Remarkably similar to the Capitol Police SWAT team, which announced it couldn’t get to the Washington Navy Yard active-shooter scene faster because of obstruction by official emergency vehicles. It was called off, of course. But had the way not been blocked by security officials and vehicles, they would have been on the shooter within a few minutes, well before the ‘call off’ time. And the guys who were already on the scene? They didn’t get to the shooter. Too busy setting up a perimeter. That, apparently, is the favorite assignment of those determined to ‘get home safe.’ Should I trade in my Benelli for a “Perimeter Establishment Signalling Device”? Nah. I’m already home.
