A routine traffic stop in Hempstead, NY of a car that turned out to be driven by a bail-jumper turned into a police chase on Friday. When officers lit up their lights and siren, Oralus C. Sebea reached over and opened the passenger door and pushed his passenger, an unidentified female, out of the car. He then led cops on a merry chase while tossing a silver revolver out the passenger window along with a box containing “a large amount of ammunition” and a KG-99 handgun (a closed-bolt semi-automatic “assault pistol,” aka the TEC-9.) When he was eventually captured, an “M1 Carbine assault rifle was also found on the drivers’ side floor of the vehicle,” according to newsli.com. I tried to Google “M1 Carbine assault rifle” but Google told me, “Don’t be stupid, there is no such thing.” . . .
Three guns were discovered and seized in three days at Orlando International Airport last week. The first of the three was found in the luggage of Memmalatel Morgan of Sanford, who was on his way to Trinidad. When it was found, Morgan tried to check his gun, a .40-caliber pistol loaded with 15 cartridges, with police so he wouldn’t miss his flight. Police agreed to hold the gun for him, but only as a part of taking him to jail. A 9mm was discovered on Saturday and a .380 on Sunday, bringing the total for the year to 35, ranking second in Florida. All three owners were arrested and booked and face state criminal charges as well as up to $11,000 in federal fines.
Mattv2099 has done a few videos doing a 360 no-scope with a shotgun versus a few different items from stuffed animals to purple drink. However, they’ve all been at pretty close range. In this video, Tacticalnoob42 calls him out with a 360 no-scope shot from what looks like about 35 feet using an FPK Dragunov. Good stuff.

Three teens were arrested for a series of recent car break-ins in Brooklyn, Maryland Sunday morning, when an officer pulled over a vehicle that was acting suspiciously. When he approached he saw various burglary tools as well as “70 boxes of law enforcement use only ammunition in plain view.” The teens admitted to breaking into and stealing the ammunition from a trailer that was later determined to belong to a U.S. Air Marshal. No word on what exactly “law enforcement use only” ammunition consists of.

Im sorry we dont have a gun problem in this country we have a people problem.
Completely disagree with the ageism. Other than that spot on.
LEO-only ammo veers abruptly to the left or right, and some of it is manufacturer-guaranteed to home in on canine targets. Depends on the maker though. With 70 boxes of it, it sounds like this guy was playing it safe and kept some of each handy.
A good reason I bought a desert eagle and probably the only good reason
We take youngsters from our church, out camping in bear country and we also prospect
A rifle just does not cut it as it will be left some where when it is needed
Yes I bought the 44 mag, but since I know I can convert it to a 50 cal
I will be buying the mod. when and if I can afford it, and only using that when needed.
But the problem is I have never shot a handgun before, I’m 71 but as agile as anyone 1/2 my age.
And sure my accuracy is improving every day, but sure could use some good advice
I shoot at 45 feet and 2 out of 3 rounds I hit my mark, but one always seems to go astray by several inches. And seeing I live off a minimal income and if you have a 50 cal conversion and would like to help out by donating the conversion we sure would appreciate it
We had one cougar attack but we lived through that OK, Just hope no youngster get hurt.
They can be a handful at times.
Question for the wise wilderness people.
Where should you carry a knife on yourself in the wilderness?
Ans. Between the knee and ankle below your strongest arm.
Why
Consider an attack by any animal from behind when they grab you
Will you be able to access yours under your coat?
I ccw a .38 snubby,I carried a .357 while a Deputy so I am used to a revolver,even though I do own some semi autos also,it’s just that I have more experience with a wheel gun so if a self protection incident comes along I jump into the old mode of shooting with what I have the most experience with.I do practice with my semi autos but after so many years with a wheel gun on my belt I feel more comfortable with it and isn’t that what choosing a self protection firearm is all about.Be prepared and ready.Keep your powder dry.
Guns are dangerous, and young people today live in an often-alienating world which rewards immoral behavior and ‘me too’ clique aggression, one populated by ethically lazy adults who criticize and punish after the fact but often do not teach in time. It would be good to keep our guns apart from the young until we’ve taught them respect for the items and tested the success of our instructional efforts.
Used to be a deputy I can tell ya’ll now that the .22 lr is very underrated,most folks I have seen shot with one do not make it,especially if they are shot multiple times.Have been to an autopsy where a victim was shot in the head,distance approximately 20 feet with a .22 lr Ruger pistol,when the medical examiner opened the skull the brain was like Jello
,the round bounced around inside the skull like a blender,that proved to me that if you have a .22lr handgun and practice a lot you can be very deadly with it.Be prepared and ready.Keep your powder dry.
Robert it’s good to see you not taking sides on what firearm someone needs for self defense,as a lot of the big gun magizines seem to push whatever handgun from whatever gun manufacturer pays them to advertise.If someone that is looking to purchase a handgun,that has never owned a firearm,the advice I can give you is,if you have a friend that shoots ask them to let them go along with them and try their firearms and most shooters do have firearms of both types,next if you have access to a range that rents handguns go and try out both types of handguns.i have found that if you ccw try to find the best handgun that you feel the most comfortable with,because that way you will excel with that handgun.Be prepared and ready.Keep your powder dry.
What would be the correct length for my rifle barrel for 50 yards target shooting?
I have nothing to say that others haven’t said already.
+1 vote for erring on the side of freedom of speech (it’s one of the things that separates us from them)
+1 voice saying that they will say nasty things about us no matter what.
+1 for Dirk Diggler being my hero of the week.
I was going to photoshop my take on a customized 10/22 but never got around to it. Mannlicher stocked, threaded barrel, scout rail and aperture sights.
I was recently at a shooting range in the German speaking part of Europe. I did some exercises at the range, checked out some cool guns in the gunstore, then had a beer at the range bar. Perfectly normal.
Something that’s always amazed me:
Domestic Turkey: Notorious among poultry producers for seemingly dropping dead for no reason at all.
Wild Turkey: Shrugs off ordinary 2 3/4″ birdshot loads to the head.
You know the best thing for teaching a child gun safety? A BB gun. When they can master that, let them move on. If you see them goofing off with it, up it goes. I never got a real gun until I was 14 and then I couldn’t go hunting without him. I have a little girl now, 3, so it wouldn’t be smart to leave guns laying around. As for this bullying crap, no one deserves to be shot but this holding hands ain’t gonna work. Learn karate, pay a bigger kid, something. I went through it. I’m sure yall did. Either the guy (or girl) catches you on the wrong day and just blow up on him or life goes on. I’ve been bullied, I’ve bullied. Its called football. That was one brave marine and teacher.
Could someone define a spree killing to me? I know a shopping spree means you blow a lot of cash on a lot of items you typically don’t need. To compare a guy who went on a shooting spree of 15 kids to a single person shooting unless you count the second death (suicide) as a qualifier for a spree? What is the spree threshold?
Yeah, the wild ones make true the statement one tough old bird.
I read once that Ben Franklin wanted the Turkey as the nations bird rather than the eagle. Seems he felt the eagle was a carrion eater and not to be admired.
Oh well.
Now if they make some of these in a 20, I would try some 4’s.
More crap from Yeager.
I’m starting to think of Yeager in the same plane as Al Gore when it comes to veracity of his statements.
Sorry, you lost me as a reader Jim Barrett. I was already disagreeing with your article- if your 13 year old is irresponsible you suck at raising children. You raised a killer. Wasn’t there some saying about guns not killing people? Your tea party comments were icing on the cake, hopefully your farewell cake.
I thought he looked familiar. He has been around the block in the DC law enforcement community. Just some background….

Holder is obviously a liar or ignorant. Name a spree shooter that was shut down early or later that was done by LEO. The Navy Yard and Ft. Hood are all I can think of going all the way back to the Texas Tower. Even then like at the Peach House Shoot out, there was citizen involvement to stop it. Aurora Clown stopped himself. He told them about the incendiary devices which took bomb squads 3 days to get through.
There was a nursing home shooting in Carthage North Carolina that was stopped by a patrol cop. The only one I can remember. But the shooter had shot 10 people before he was stopped.
Open carry is legal in Florida under certain circumstances.

The Surefire package is nice, but for those of us who are not likely to be gifted a $400 flashlight and $300 IR replacement head by Surefire, I’m wondering if there are some decent alternatives for less. The Streamlight SuperTac IR illuminator? I can find it on Amazon, but not on Streamlight’s site for some reason.
Would it be theoretically possible to recall the appointed replacement? Not to say there would be the signatures and/or votes to actually get it done, just idly curious.
