An Unusually Happy Ending to a Violent Armed Robbery
Learn About Guns on May 8th, 2009
As reported, a car mechanic was lured behind a high school by a pair of robbers who posed as customers in need of a mechanic. After the victim was behind the high school, one of the robbers drew his gun, pointed it at the victim’s head, and then pulled the trigger. Lucky, the robber’s gun [...]... -

How Things Roll in Philly
Snowflakes in Hell on May 8th, 2009
I’m very intrigued by this post by Wyatt, about turning a criminal over to the feds for prosecution on guns charges (felon-in-possession), something we know that the City of Philadelphia often will not do: Anyway, the AUSA wanted to take over the case and try him federally. He even asked my permission - which made me laugh a little - because ... -

John Lott on May 8th, 2009
My piece starts off this way and can be found here:So much for any hope that the government would uphold rules and abiding by contracts. Instead, we keep getting examples of something else – that when President Obama fails to persuade firms to follow his wishes, he does not hesitate to use threats of financial destruction.Cliff Asness, the co-fo... -

A simple solution to piracy
Arms & The Law on May 8th, 2009
Reader Scott Sterling emails what seems to be a simple, easy, and cheap solution to piracy. I would just add that I doubt an AK is a 300-400 yard weapon in Somalian hands. Videos I've seen of their land fighting suggests their firing stance is: hold gun sideways, or overhead, dance around and pull trigger while taunting foes. A good fellow with a .... -
Ruger Running Glasses
Gun Pundit on May 8th, 2009
I’ve probably mentioned before that I’m a bit of a long distance runner. Last fall I ran my first marathon, and tomorrow is one of the bigger races in West Michigan, the Riverbank Run in Grand Rapids. For years I was unable to find a pair of sunglasses for running that got the job done. Either they were too heavy, they didn’t fit ... -

Home Rule and Concealed Carry
Snowflakes in Hell on May 8th, 2009
Go here to see something you won’t see very often: folks pissed at NRA for not compromising on a bill, namely, NRA wants a full concealed carry bill, with preemption, and state activists are pushing for a weaker bill subject to home rule. I would encourage each side to understand where the other is coming from. There’s no evil inten... -

Common Sense Does Exist in Maryland!
Armed Canadian on May 8th, 2009
On April 23rd, John Culleton posted this opinion on why the so-called "assault weapon" ban (which banned nothing) should be reinstated. It contained gems such as this:Despite what the president of the National Rifle Association says, the AK-47 is a fully automatic weapon. It has no legitimate hunting use. It is not the equivalent of the old bolt a... -

Drug Store Robberies
Snowflakes in Hell on May 8th, 2009
See this video from Seattle of a drug store robbery gone bad… for the robber. The Pharmacist might want to take a training course or two though, as I would not approach an armed robber with the gun held one handed. What if he hadn’t ran off? Not sure chasing after him was a wise move either, but protecting his store with a gun? Go... -
