Rob Russell, a Democrat candidate for the House of Representatives from Tennessee in 2008 (who lost, btw) seems to think it’s okay to threaten physical violence against people. Quoth said Democrat:
Send me your home address and I’ll come to your house and punch your f***ing face in. Unless you are a pussy who can’t fight without a gun in his hand.
You stay classy, Rob Russell.
Oh hey, he has a blog! That’s neat.
Update: I crack myself up:
I am filled with a beautiful, white hot flame of unspeakable rage right now at the nanny state. As my friends on Facebook know, I currently have a headcold. It’s rather annoying, because normally I just pop down a few Advil Cold and Sinus and I’m good to go. This bad boy required abnormal amounts of pseudophedrine to provide relief, so I burned through my supply a little faster than usual.
Today, I went to a local pharma to get more. My purchase was declined, because apparently when they ran my license they saw I just bought some cold pills on Tuesday…because that’s when I got sick. The girl behind the counter said, “You can’t buy this, you just bought some on Tuesday and you’re over your limit for the week.”
I kid you not, for like 30 seconds I couldn’t even see I was so angry. I was opposed to the stupid “anti-methlab law” to begin with back when they first passed it, and I had no idea that they now tracked your purchases with your driver’s license. I seriously almost lost my mind. However, here’s the best part – the actual conversation with the counter girl:
Counter Girl: “I’m sorry sir, you can’t buy this. You just bought some this week and you’re over your limit.”
Me: “Yes, well I’m still sick.”
CG: “Well, we can’t sell it to you in case you’re cooking meth.”
Me: “…”
CG: “If you have someone else in your house, they can buy it for you!”
Me: “So I can have someone buy me something that you won’t sell me, effectively skirting the law?”
CG: “Uh…well…that’s not what I meant…”
Me: shakes head
So now I have to ask my wife to do what amounts to a straw purchase of Sudafed 12 hour for me.
And yet despite all these laws, people are still cooking meth! So clearly, making me suffer with congestion is OBVIOUSLY worth it, right? Stupid nanny state.
The January issue of US Concealed Carry magazine! Now with 100% more gamerfag articles!
Umarex USA, the leader in firearm replication, introduces the first official Heckler & Koch (H&K) replicas. The dedicated .22 long rifle (LR) platform is not simply a knock-off but a new, licensed, economically-priced reproduction available in a 416 and MP5 Tactical Rimfire.
For more details, visit HK22Rimfire.com.
Here are some pictures of the new guns from Umarex.
I guess I’m cautiously optimistic about the new guns. The original ATI GSG-5 didn’t exactly have a stellar reputation for reliability, and the Umarex-made Colt Tactical rimfire is a big ball of fail…so hopefully these guns will manage to suck less than their predecessors. Perhaps the “HK” logo on the side will fill them with magic.
..if I am pounding a Nigerian terrorist like a German porno, the last thing I want is for my LawDog-tied monkey’s fist to come all agley before I am quite through.
From here. I lol’d at work.
Whatever happened to the Charter Arms rimless revolver? At SHOT two years ago, it was “going to be out soon”, and then last year at SHOT it was going to be “ready in August”. Now you can’t find hide nor hair of it on Charter’s website.
I’m actually kind of disappointed by this. If there is one thing that I’m in love with in terms of defensive firearms, it’s compact revolver chambered for “service” autopistol cartridges, such as 9mm, .40 S&W, or .45 ACP. Right now, the only “major market” offering that does that is the Taurus 905, which is chambered in 9mm and, due to it being a Taurus revolver, has a lousy trigger.
If you’re willing to spend about $800-$1000, you can buy a used Smith & Wesson 547 in 9mm, which oddly enough doesn’t use moonclips, but rather some teeny tiny wires that seem rather fragile. There is also a Smith & Wesson 940 J-frame that uses moonclips, as well as versions of the Ruger Speed Six and SP101 that utilize moonclips to 9mm cartridges. The problem is that all of the above mentioned guns are rather expensive, especially when compared to the Taurus. You can also find 2 inch versions of the 325 in .45 ACP from S&W, but those are also expensive.
I’d give up at least two teeth for a compact wheelgun from S&W or Ruger in 9mm. The new LCR, a J-frame, the SP101 – it doesn’t really matter. If they made it with a decent trigger and compatible with all the other usual J-frame/LCR accoutremont, priced it right around $500 and it’ll sell like hotcakes.
It’s not much of an update, really. Still working with Rep Murhpy’s office to schedule an appearance for him on Gun Nuts Radio.
Tam is trying the method of gripping the AR made popular by 3-gun shooters – i.e. the support hand as far forward on the grip as possible, with the thumb pointing toward the target. I started shooting this kind of grip a while ago, but I didn’t realize how much it improved transition speeds until I went out to Gunsite a few months back. There, when doing rapid swings from target to target, having the hand that far forward allowed me start/stop the gun a lot faster than with my hand way back by the magwell in the more traditional “modern technique” style.
A good way to see the speed improvement with the hands forward grip is if you’re using a rimfire rifle; the lack of felt recoil really lets you rock and roll on speedy transitions.
