Carrying a gun in Rhode Island means I can’t slip into Condition White. If nothing else, I have to be aware of who might be aware that I’m carrying a gun in case they freak. I find that particularly ironic when I’m in a target rich/gun-free environment, especially one filled with children. There I am, the only armed first responder should a maniac pull a Newtown, worrying about being mistaken for a bad guy. Still, as the Brits say, needs must. I need to protect my daughter. So I protect my daughter. It’s the same primal urge that led parents to subsidize an armed officer at a Scottsdale school [story at myfoxphoenix.com]. Truth be told, it’s the same primal urge that drives civilian disarmament supporters. The crucial difference: we only have to be right once. They have to be right all the time. More boneheaded ballistic bombast after the jump . . .
Blaming the NRA for “gun violence” is like blaming the Mormons for Internet porn.

Then again, New York:
I understand the politics of it, but I’m very proud that this state passed a comprehensive, common-sense gun-control law that is reasonable, that is balanced, that does not affect hunters, does not affect sportsmen,” Cuomo told reporters in Poughkeepsie. “It’s about keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill, about keeping the guns out of the hands of criminals. And that everybody should be able to agree on.

Works here. Works there. Works everywhere. “In the meantime, Yemen’s ever-fragile stability rests on the unsettling fact that, as Mohammed Abdul Lahoum, a tribal Sheikh and prominent politician put it, “Every side knows that if you’re going to bring your gun, somebody else has a bigger gun.” Gun Control, Yemen-Style theatlantic.com

Too perfect.
Seth,
That is too weirdly fitting.
Thank you Olympic Arms… Well said and well played…
every person in LA county that has been raped, beaten, robed, or killed deserves a vote on wether or not it should be possible to get a ccw permit BEFORE you are a victim of a violent crime.

That guy in the photo for the Yemen article appears to have a camo suit jacket on. What a boss.
Dammit midway usa, since you make magazines, could you please increase the production of pmags? I need some and they are hard to come by right now… oh wait, I guess that is magpul that makes those. They kind of glossed over the fact that midway’s contribution’s to the NRA come from people rounding up their purchases voluntarily to donate.
Hope they are prepared to die to take my rifle, because I am prepared to die to keep it.
Agreed!! Bottom banner completely obnoxious!!!!!
My 2022 digested every bit of crap ammunition that I threw at it without a single complaint. Reliability-wise, the pistol has no equal. The accuracy aspect left me questioning. No matter what I did, I could not shrink the groups down to where I felt comfortable with the pistol. I ran a bunch of different loads off my single stage press and concluded that the pistol and I were just not going to get along.
2 weeks ago, the SIG was traded for a beautiful stainless Beretta 92. Straight up. I think I came out ahead on that score.
Yes, I still carry my P220. The elder SIG is tried and tested to the point that trust is ingrained. There was just no way I could work up that kind of relationship with the new Tupperware-SIG. I tried, I failed.
And some people still believe we don’t live in a police state.
Definitely want to hear more on this, if the FFL dealer is willing to share. Sounds egregious, even if it is legal.
A good 4th Amendment attorney would make mincemeat out of this incident if it is indeed true, so we’ll see.
I’d have no problem with a reasonable subscription fee that would provide an ad-free session.
I access the site almost exclusively in mobie view, so I don’t even see it.
How would you feel if you took the time to send in some information for a prospective article, and they called it “overflow from the bilges”? I hope that is not what you meant to imply.
Nope, tried it – no work. But, the quote is good enough for me… same as “no racial profiling” which has TSA frisking little children & grandmas in wheelchairs instead of the women in burkas & all of the “Mohamed Atta’s” in the queue.
Bravo! It’s only fair that private industry refused to provide firearms to an oppressive government that disarms it’s citizens.
