Just ordered a Draco AK pistol -- should be here early next week.

If it doesn't get a floor vote before the gambling debate starts in earnest in the Senate, then I'm afraid it won't get anywhere. :(

I hope not, as there are some very vocal anti-gun Senators on the Jud. Comm. (which is likely why he got it assigned to his instead).

Be aware that it is not in the same committee in the Senate that it was in the House. It is in the Industrial Development and Recruitment Committee (which Sen. Means chairs, IIRC -- makes sense, as he is carrying the bill in the Senate).

FWIW, it was metioned on another forum that Randy Hillman (executive director of the AL DA's Association) sent an e-mail out to LEOs across the state urging them to oppose this bill... Please note that I did not receive this e-mail myself and am just passing the info along second-hand --...

Picked up a Marlin 39A Mountie yesterday, to go with my old full-size 39A which I dearly love. :)

I believe it is still on the Committee calendar for tomorrow...

That's a relatively rare and long-discontinued Grendel R-31 carbine. It was a companion to the more common P-30 pistol and shares the same 30-round flush-fitting magazine. Really a fun little lightweight/collapsible carbine, not to mention a good conversation piece (most folks aren't...

I took my three oldest nephews shooting over the holidays. The youngest of the three (10yo) had an absolute ball with my Beowulf in particular...
