XTech Tactical Responds to Century Arms’ Lawsuit

Outside of a ridiculously gigantic binary target explosion earlier this summer and the fact that they make AK-47 magazines, I admittedly don’t know much about XTech Tactical. Looks like that may change, though, as they’re now playing with the big boys. Namely, Century Arms. But they aren’t playing nice. Or voluntarily. XTech’s press release follows … Read more

City of Pleasant Hill, CA Owes NSSF, City Arms $400K in Legal Fees

The NSSF is on a roll, legally speaking, in California. Last week they got a favorable ruling in their challenge to the state’s ludicrous microstamping law. Now they’ve managed to extract $400,000 from the city of Pleasant Hill after city fathers (and mothers) tried to ghetto-ize the city’s gun stores and regulate them out of … Read more

Sniper’s Hide Wins Round 1 In Tactical Rifles Lawsuit

It was nigh on a year ago that we first covered the defamation lawsuit brought against Snipers Hide by a disgruntled ‘custom’ rifle builder calling itself Tactical Rifles. If you may recall, Marc Soulie of Spartan Precision Rifles posted this warts-and-all Youtube review of a Tactical Rifles tactical rifle on Sniper’s Hide, after which all hell broke loose. Soulie’s review was basically all warts (my box-stock 700 BDL was probably put together better than this ‘custom’ rifle) and Tactical Rifles’ butt-hurt response was to sue him, Snipers Hide, and SH owner Frank Galli in a Florida federal court. The case has been dismissed, but this opera ain’t anywhere near over. In fact, the fat lady hasn’t even taken the stage . . .

Green Watch: Neighbors tell range to “get the lead out.”

I think it must be all that rain. People in the Pacific Northwest march to the beat of a different Doumbek. Up there, they take all this environmental stuff more like a religion, than a philosophy or a political statement. Me? I’m a believer in moderation in all things. Saving the planet is a great idea, just as long as the planet actually needs saving. For instance, if you’ve been doing something for, say, 40 years or so with no adverse effects, I find it a little hard to believe that, just because somebody’s consciousness is raised, you’ve got to change everything you’ve been doing Right Now! or risk Destroying Mother Earth! The conflict between Mother Nature, Father Time, tree-huggers and shooters is coming to a head in Oregon. And I’m afraid the results aren’t gonna be pretty.
