Requiescat In Pace: J. Guthrie, Outdoor Writer

ttag - comments No comments

The outdoor writing world lost one of its most talented and well-liked young professionals last night. Hunter, writer and father J. Guthrie passed away in his sleep last night, far too early and far too young. The Armed Intelligentsia may recall him from a couple of years ago, when he blasted this luckless prairie rat with a .338 Lapua at 789 yards. He was just 37, and he leaves behind a wife and two young children.

  1. Depends on cover, lighting, range, distractions, what and how the bad guy is shooting, any “physiological enhancements” – crack, PCP et cetera – and likely other things – little stressors such as victims lying (or thrashing) about screaming, f’rinstance.

    Maybe we shouldn’t always just GOTO BASH$LEOS.

    Just my two cents’ – see Ammendment 1.

  2. Great starting point. With a couple small tweaks, you could probably retire on the sales.

    The hinge will loosen up over time with use. I think a small detent to positively lock it in the open or closed position would be simple to add to the design. It also looks like it could be made ambidextrous with a couple small design modifications. Changing the hinge to more of a “tongue and groove” setup would also allow it to be secured with a roll pin; which would be cheaper than a bolt and less likely to loosen up if done correctly. Just my $0.02.

  4. Vast majority of sellers at a gun show, from my experience, are FFLs.

    What Gun Show Loophole?

    Consider too that unless someone wrote down the serial number of the gun that shot them during the commission of a crime, in the unlikely scenario of obtaining a weapon that had previously been used in a murder, I would say that the chances of tying the weapon to the crime are next to nil, seeing as some ammo (hollow point, critical defense) would deform upon impact, some may be un-recovered from crime scene, and if a few years had passed between crime and ballistics test (if it ever came to that), the extra time to shoot more ammo through a barrel may change the outcome of a ballistics test to where you may not be able to tie a crime to a gun, assuming that the reason to conduct such a test would ever arise (too many factors).

    No reason to worry about buying a weapon at a gun show. Gives you a chance to examine many types and models of guns from many FFLs, and it’s so easy to walk away from a table if you don’t like the seller.

  5. Wait a minute. According to Joe a shotgun will not go through walls, so what about his advice to shoot through your door for protection? Which is it Joe you idiot? This guy is an embarrassment but I guess he perfectly reflects the common progressive voter of today.

  6. Horrific tale. . . truly chilling. To be disarmed by rule of law, then subjected to inadequate defense is the stuff of nightmares. I think we’re all growing used to this sort of thing, numb. I wont sleep tonight I think though. I’m simply too enraged and too upset by this. . .

    I asked my wife if we ought not to train K-whatever students to stack up on opposite sides of the door out of the direct line of fire and then to attack the shooter coming through it with what they have; perhaps pencils and heavy objects stuffed into socks as bludgeons. She remarked that this would ensure some causalities, with which I agree. However I persisted that this, with 20 or 30 students and a teacher was apt to incapacitate or kill an attacker before he was able to disengage or kill them all so long as they remained engaged and continued attacking regardless of losses. My wife repeated that it was too much horror to contemplate such a thing, and that the training required to execute such a ‘bayonet’ charge was just beyond the pale, especially for the younger children. I pointed out that it was better than the current plan of hunkering in place and providing discreet and immobile groups of passive targets. She thought on this and said we should instead arm the teachers (and students where they are adults). It’s a much finer solution than sacrificing people in bayonet charges, or the shock of teaching them to accomplish the same en masse. I agree, while I still like the improvised bayonet charge better than the ‘sit and wait to be shot’ approach, it seems less traumatic and more effective to allow arms everywhere there are responsible people.
    Ardent.

  7. If you shoot a .40 glock there is nothing better than the factory 22 round mags. Doesn’t leave the magwell and is GLOCK made.

  8. I love it when liberals talk about not killing God’s creatures, and how wrong it is. Then turn around and kill 4 million human babies per year in abortions.
