Andy @ AAC has posted scans of a Maxim Silencer brochure. The prices range from $5 for a .22 suppressor to $9.50 for a high powered rifle caliber suppressor. Click to expand. View the rest of the brochure here. ...

Snowflakes in Hell (who, long overdue, is now on my blogroll) has photos of the Para Ordenance TTR AR-15. The Tactical Target Rifle features a unique recoil system above the barrel, which significantly reduces recoil and allows for a folding stock. The new Para Tactical Target Rifle with its Direct Impinged Gas System™ (DIGS™) gets you back on...

I noticed a truly disturbing article in the news today, involving a Canadian whose home was invaded. This citizen shot and killed one of the armed home invaders, who had broken in and held him captive at gunpoint. He is now being charged with manslaughter for defending himself within his own home: Niagara police [...]...

Mr. Completely posted this video last week, and I forgot to post it here. This would defiantly make Dogmatix cry. ...

Gunpundit has spotted photos of the Veritas Mark IV in Denver. The Veritas Mark IV is a paintball/airgun gun that shoots .68 Caliber paintballs filled with a pepper spray type substance. The gun is patterned after and the same size as the M and accepts most AR-15 accessories. More info about the gun here. More photos here. ...

I‘ve noticed an increasing number of people arriving at LearnAboutGuns.com after searching on Google for terms such as “NRA position on african american”, “black people NRA”, “racist NRA”, and similar terms.  I also had several visitors from a forum thread where one person asked “Did the NRA have a s...

As if we needed another reason NOT to vote for Obama, he has officially picked Gun Ban Biden to be his running mate....

By John Longenecker What are we really electing in 2008? I write for the non-gun owners in America. Often, I say is that what it is about guns isn’t even about guns. It is the thesis upon which I base my book, Safe Streets. It is about how we manage our Burdens, beginning with the very first one, Personal Safety, as opposed to assuming that someo...

Taken from the most recent “Page Nine” Alan Korwin’s “The Uninvited Ombudsman Report” 1- Not Much Ammo The lamestream media told you: According to Curt Anderson of the Associated Press, a man was arrested after threatening to assassinate the President. In his car police found a loaded 9mm pistol and dozens of rounds of ammunition. The Uni...

In Michelle Obama’s speech, she referred to meeting a guy with a “funny name.” Barack [redacted] Obama has mentioned his “funny name” in the past. What is with that? Who cares if his name is funny? Is “Barack” really any funnier than, say, “Millard” or “Woodrow?” I think that the w...

Not much commentary, just a compilation of video I took at Blackwater: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPKW9T3qGQs That’s pretty much all of the video I have that’s worth sharing, except for the one where Robb showed up on the range with no pants. ...

Fox News has this today:Racial infighting among Democrats, which marred the presidential primaries, has flared up again at the party’s convention in Denver, where a black Hillary Clinton delegate is accusing a black Barack Obama delegate of calling her an “Uncle Tom.” . . ....

From Sebastian's picture of me "Robb giving us the glamour pose" Justthisguy says: Y’know, I was thinking about saving Joe’s chimp-typing pic of Robb to my hard drive, to show to Robb’s kids later so they could use it for blackmail data (ed - he's talking about the last picture here), but then I thought; how can you blackmail somebody who d...

Scott Adams, the creator of Dibert, has this interesting defense of what economists do:If a weather expert tells you what the weather will be on a specific day next year, you can safely ignore him. If he tells you a hurricane is heading your way, it's a good idea to get out of the way, even if the storm ends up turning. That's playing the odds.Like...

You know, there didn't seem to be too much support for Barack Ha-Cha-Cha Obama at Blackwater. Oddly, those who are tasked with protecting the US, those who wish to learn how to protect themselves, and those who help service those in training don't seem to impressed by Barry. Not that anyone I talked to seemed to be overly enthusiastic about Col. Ti...

It was some astonishing stuff. Made by International Cartridge Corp., of Reynoldsville PA. It's made of sintered copper and tin. The 9mms weighed in at 100 grains, the ,45s at 155. We shot steel plates at 3 yards and no splash back, no jacket fragments, a couple of times I felt something touch my leg, that was it. But it shot like the devil. Todd ...

Here are a couple of new photos from the fun in Denver: A police officer holds a machine gun along the route of the 'Recreate 68' march near the site of the Democratic Convention in Denver, Colorado, USA on 24 August 2008. The protesters are calling their movement 'Recreate 68' referring to the tumultuous 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicag...

My ego took a bruising yesterday when someone on a forum I peruse said Sunday's food post, including the venison chili recipe was "disgusting". I'm tough, but I admit, that made me tear up. But there's no accounting for taste, if you don't like my cooking, you're welcome to dine elsewhere. Or try the adventure of eating on missions overseas. Al...

To me there is something almost soothing about old tools, old machinery. The feeling of history simultaneously impossibly far away and yet tantalizingly close. The scent of past use, dulled by generations of oil lamps, of echoing footsteps, hushed voices, tarnished brass fittings, of wood precious as carved ivory. This is the scent of history; c...

Here's a shot of the witness marks Todd Jarrett put on our hands. That's Kevin's mitts on the left, then mine, then Say Uncle's. Since I had to hold the camera, it's only my right hand. I have no idea where Uncle's hand was, although I can assure you it was nowhere near my buttocks. ...

And there's tacticool Check out your favorite blogger in action That's Joe Huffman on the left. I'm wearing gloves for two reasons. One, Blackhawk gave 'em to me and I wanted to take them out for a spin. Two, I noticed my grip kept slipping and the gloves helped a ton with that. The stage went as follows. You were to engage the steel plate directl...

Now that I am home, I might just have to price out how much it would cost to buy a bit of land, and construct my own 360 degree shoot house.  Sure, it’ll cost a good bit, but that’s the most fun I’ve had with a gun.  Here’s a video of Dave Hardy getting his run started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yya-yiSoHho Dave ha...

Didn't have time to post before this, but it was wild! Todd Jarret took us thru the shoot house, twice! Imagine a steel building (it looked like 3/8" plate, covered in plywood) divided into rooms, all doors shut, you open the door and there might be anything inside. Good guy targets, bad guy ones, both with one covering the other ... or nothing at...

A day late.Day three is shoot house day on range T7. Each range we were on had the rules front and center, just in case someone forgot., the driving range behind us was being used and cars were ramming each other and/or spinning out when they were a little too aggressive in a curve and IED's were going off as they reached the other end of the track...

I was putting away all my gear a few minutes ago and had to load my pistol. I asked Irelyn, who is three, "What does Daddy have in his hands?" She said "a gun". "And what do you do if you see a gun?" I asked. "SHOOT!" she replied, quite enthusiastically....

Ok, I'm finally home and have some time to actually do some blogging. I was having a hell of a time getting the pictures up, and honestly this trip was worthless without pictures (click on 'em to embigginate) ...

Thanks to Kevin Baker for taking this video of me shooting one of our stages along with Dave Hardy.  Todd Jarrett is the guy coaching me through, and Dan Smith of ICC is the guy coaching Dave. This was a tough stage.  You can to shoot three shots at the steel plate directly in front, then move toward the plates on the side, then six shots in the...

What is going on here? Haven't these Democratic governors gotten the memo about party unity? First it was Rendell having to be silenced because he wouldn't stop his complaints about media bias, now it is Ted Strickland:At a dinner with Washington Post reporters and editors, Strickland called the coverage "almost shocking at times" and unfair it t...

This is the audio from an actual 911 call made by a woman whose stalker broke into her home.  She called 911 and locked herself in her bedroom - with her handgun.  Incredibly, the 911 operator tells her “not to do anything too rash” to the stalker who just broke into her home and is [...]...

As Kevin says, what we have to do to energize those who don't care much about an issue is to make them realize it could happen to them and get them mad at the prospect.With that in mind, I bring you this story...A hunter in Denver, Colorado walked into the hotel where Nancy Pelosi was staying with a rifle case. Secret Service freaks, evacuates the...

I have had to disable comments on GunPundit for the time being due to technical issues. I will soon be migrating the site over to WordPress from Movable Type and commenting will be restored at that time. My apologies....

Democratic VP candidate Joe Biden: Rand Simberg: Obama has a problem because he professes support for the Second Amendment, as long as it doesn't actually nullify any gun laws. So you'd think he'd not have picked a running mate who gets an "F" from the NRA. This isn't going to help him with the bitter gun clingers. Also see Roger Simon (no...

This isn’t gonna help Democrats appeal to the gun owner demographic. * perfectly lawful gun too. ...

John Fund has this point:CNN's Jessica Yellin revealed over the weekend that Mr. Obama's key aides "think the press loves Biden and so the press will sort of go easy on him on the past gaffes and when he's contradicted Obama."...

"If it had actually become law on the day it was introduced, Mr. Braico would have been able to accumulate 33 handguns between then and now. I fail to see how that's an unreasonable restriction on his civil rights. And I do wonder what he might have done with all those deadly weapons."1 Vote(s) ...

After the recent attacks in Wilmington more females are learning to protect themselves. One local business manager said women are using, owning and carrying guns and other forms of protection. Kimberly Moore is a manager at Shooter's Choice in Wilmington. She said attendance has gone up 50 percent in the ladies shooting class just over the past fe...

It just came to my attention that New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin will soon be receiving a "Courage and Leadership" award for his actions since Hurricane Katrina. I'm flabbergasted! Shocked! I cannot believe this outright fabrication of the facts of Nagin's actions.2 Vote(s) ...

Why is it a real race now, with John McCain rising in the polls and Barack Obama falling? There are many answers, but here I think is an essential one: The American people have begun paying attention. It's hard for our political class to remember that Mr. Obama has been famous in America only since the winter of '08. America met him barely six mon...

Georgia has the dubious distinction of prohibiting the licensed carry of firearms in more places than most other states, thanks largely to the 1870 "public gathering" law, which by its vagueness has been interpreted to include many places not specifically listed. Ironically, the "places off limits" most "sacred" to gun...

Don after he finished up the shoot house said (to the top of his lungs): That scared the shit out of me but I’ve never had so much fun in my life. ...

Never really done it before but one of the things I noticed (as can be seen in this video of me here) is that I had a tendency to shoot the tops of the steel plates. This, according to Todd Jarrett, can have the effect of causing the target to bounce back up. Also, Todd Jarrett was an advocate of aiming 3/4 high on the target since 95% of your miss...

My dad on the phone just now after watching the various videos of me shooting: I told your mom I should have taken you to the range before you went on this trip. Ouch. And this after I took third in the shoot house! ...

I’ll have more later but here’s a good central point to see what everyone is saying. ...

When not talking about guns, we gun bloggers were talking about gun rights strategy. One of the more interesting bits was brought up by Joe Huffman who noted that, though the anti-gunners try to get info on our side through nefarious means, they’re mostly unsuccessful because they’re easy to spot. See, we use a whole vocabulary and they...

We got to shoot a ton of International Cartridge Corporation’s frangible and lead free ammo. Gun bloggers are green, ya know. Highly recommended. There’s no lead, which is a bonus for both environmental and health reasons. Additionally, the fact the ammo is frangible makes it nice for shooting steel plates. We were doing magazine dump...
