    Mystery of dead man and his 1,200 guns

    I ran across this article in the LA Times ( http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-lapd-guns-20150720-story.html) about the mystery surrounding a dead man and the 1,200 guns and roughly two tons of ammunition found in his Pacific Palisades home. Seems he had a rather large collection of...

    Armed Drone

    I ran across this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqHrTtvFFIs) showing a handgun attached to a personal drone. Interesting but somehow looks like it would be illegal as hell. Not to mention violating some basic rules of firearm safety.

    50 caliber target tracking bullets

    Seems like DARPA has come up with a laser tracked .50 round for use by snipers. "The .50 caliber target tracking bullets, dubbed Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO), are designed for military snipers, who must deal with changes in wind, light and ambient heat as they fire on a target."...

    I just don't get it

    In a Washington Times article today, Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday the nation’s gun culture has gotten “way out of balance” and the U.S. needs to rein in the notion that “anybody can have a gun, anywhere, anytime.” The former Secretary of State and potential 2016 Democratic presidential...

    Gander Mountain expanding gun space?

    Went to Gander Mountain in Fredericksburg, VA on Friday only to find that some remodeling was going on in the gun section of the store. Turns out they are expanding the size of their racks and display area for firearms to about double of what they had before. The clerk servicing our purchase...

    Can non-smart guns be educated?

    Not wanting to hijack another members post, I'll ask the question here. In that post it was stated that 'Beginning on the date that is 3 years after the date of enactment of this Act, no person may distribute in commerce any handgun that is not a personalized hand gun or a retrofitted...

    Smart pistol offered for sale in California

    I saw this article over at Military.com about a .22 caliber smart pistol being offered for sale in California for $1,399 and the accompanying watch (required to fire the pistol) for another $399. Okay, so assuming that this is such a great idea (which I/we highly doubt that it is), what are the...

    Guns and Drones

    I ran across this article in the Washington Times this morning about how model aircraft owners are being drawn into the privacy debate on drones and the impact that it may/will have on their hobby. I couldn't help think about a similar corollary between fully automatic "assault rifles" used by...

    Standing on the beach looking up ...

    Like a giant tsunami crashing ashore and leaving devastation in its wake, the damage may be done but it can be rebuilt and will take time ... maybe ... Folks, in my humble opinion, we are facing a huge wave of unbelievable proportion in these times. It was initially thought that the major...

    Feeding time at the zoo

    Went to Bass Pro Shop yesterday to see what the gun/ammo situation looked like and it was bad ... have seen worse ... but still bad. A lot of shotshell and various rifle calibers but no .223/5.56 and only a few boxes of .357, .380, and .44. So we walked away a couple of isles when, after a...

    Definitely not your everyday concealed carry

    Was over at military.com and ran across this. I'm not sure what kind of IWB holster you'd use with this. A man in Poland has built the world's largest working revolver, according to Guinness World Record. The weapon, a Remington model 1859, was built by Ryszard Tobys. It took Mr Tobys around...

    Awww. Look what followed me home.

    So we went out to Tractor Supply Co. yesterday to get some critter food and, on the way back, the Misses says she wants to go out for lunch. Well it's only 11:00 and we're just passing Gander Mountain, and hey, it's too early anyway, so I figure we'd just stop in and take look around a bit...
