MS special election is June 2
We have a report that the NRA/ILA has endorsed Republican Trent Kelly in the June 2 (THIS TUESDAY) runoff election for the 1st Congressional District of Mississippi, and has given him an “AQ” rating (“A” grade based on questionnaire).

May 22, 2015 product highlights
I have acquired a Streamlight ProTac HL3 tactical light, which is a 3-battery (9 volt) model. It’s larger than most of us would carry in a pocket, although it will fit in several 5.11 vest pockets and deeper tactical or cargo pants pockets. It will also fit in Blackhawk’s hard polymer tactical light belt holster, and various fabric pouches (one […] Read More

Louisiana black bear no longer threatened?

Boy Scouts ban water gun fights. More stupidity.
The Boy Scouts of America, an organization with semi-military origins which has been racing to the bottom in recent years (and has now arrived), has now banned water gun fights. Pointing simulated firearms at people is not allowed. Biodegradable water balloons no larger than a ping pong ball are still allowed. Also prohibited are rubber band fights and marshmallow shooters.

UPS & suppressors. Donald Trump anti-gun donations
News reports this week indicate that UPS will no longer ship registered firearms suppressors, even between licensees. Suppressors are legal (or soon will be) in 41 states. UPS says that there has been no policy change, and that suppressors have always been excluded, but that “UPS will [continue to] engage in discussions with licensed entities about compliance with all applicable […] Read More
“Defending yourself is the American way”
“Defending yourself is the American way.” — JPD Chief Lee Vance. He has certainly changed his tune recently. (As little as two years ago Vance spoke in favor of gun control laws.) See the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70WPOaWZQZI
