Rather be hunting
Girls Basketball Team ends practice to go hunting
"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson

No Alvin the solution is not that tough

A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
In modern english might look more like this:
A trained and well equipped people being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be messed with
The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.
A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained in arms, is the best most natural defense of a free country.
James Madison
"I ask sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few politicians."
George Mason (father of the Bill of Rights and The Virginia Declaration of Rights)
So Alvin, be very careful with that which you want to modify

Over/Under self defense
Seems Mossberg is introducing an O/U for home defense under the Maverick line
Price seems to be around $400, I'd think a pump would be more effective, at a lower cost.
CZ has a new auto loader, the 712 for about $50 more, would in my opinion work a lot better
For long gun self defense, I keep the CAR-15 ready, but my closest neighbor is well over 300 yards away, and the exterior walls, and some of the interior walls are 1 foot thick, solid brick construction.

For urban dwellers a SG is likely a better choice
Reminder about the "RULES"
Now, here’s the hard part: after shooting, always take your finger off the trigger, and place it back alongside the frame.
I do see that once the slide locks back they still have finger curled around the trigger, a lot, and I keep reminding them to index.

So after I got the Smith back together, I cleaned the Para LTC, and the Springfield 45, and 5 Browning Buck Marks, 3 Smith and Wesson 22A's, and a High Standard revolver.
More to clean tomorrow......

Silly Things We Do
I decided that my SW1911PD needed a good cleaning, so I field stripped it and cleaned it, no problem so far, for the life of me I could not get it back together. Everything was fine except I couldn't get the bushing over the full length guide rod. So after fighting it for a while I decided to put a smaller guide rod in, and it went together, but the plug has an open front, test fired one shot, and have what you see below:
Ok that was different, first 1911 I've owned that I assembled the entire upper, then put it on the frame, tricky but can be done. In attempting to reassemble in the normal matter, could not clear recoil rod.

First SD 40 in class
The first Smith & Wesson SD showed up yesterday
The trigger was hard at the last bit of pull, it was difficult not to push the muzzle to the left, I'm sure theres a fix, but it wasn't as nice as the one I checked at the annual meeting in May.

In 2011, we'll have both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address occur on the same day.
As Air America Radio pointed out, "It is an ironic juxtaposition of events; one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication,
while the other involves a groundhog."

School Board shooting proves we need guns in Schools
Convicted felon, acquired a gun (felony) carried gun concealed (felony) carried gun into school (felony)
Took hostages (felony) committed aggravated assault with a firearm (felony)
Good guy with a firearm stopped the problem
Making it illegaler would not have stopped the problem, and trying to reason with him didn't work ether, sometimes the only way to stop violence is through "Counter Violence"

Riley, you don't have a clue
I'd guess everythang ya know about guns you learned watching the TV
"high-power weapons that can kill with a stroke of the finger, especially those that can be hidden in a front pocket.
"because it is extremely easy to be 50 feet away from someone/something, pull the trigger, and be done with it"
I find you can have peace from a position of strength and power.
As someone said you'll get farther with a gun and a kind word, than you will with just a kind word

If you want a "4" in the caliber
You should just make it a 45 ACP
"Police departments around the country are finding that the .40 calibers aren't as effective if an unfortunate incident occurs and they're forced to have to use their weapons," Rutherford said. "[The larger caliber] is safer for the deputies and for the public if the unthinkable happens and we have to do what no one wants to have to do."
The .45 ACP automatic pistol cartridge has been considered one of the best defensive handgun rounds for the past 100 years.
Seems its hard to improve on things John M Browning designed

Tom Selleck's new show on CBS
I really thought last Friday's show was interesting, in that Selleck nails a police captain that as he put it has been "cooking the books", by downgrading the seriousness of the crimes taking place, and well it makes you wonder how much of that really takes place in the real world.

Speaking of being alert
Tam's safety tip
Today we had our first factory squib load,(UMC) the primer fired, the powder did not. We also had a factory (WWB) 380 auto, round had the bullet nearly buried in the case, right out of the box, making a very small but effective pipe bomb, lucky that the case was so budged out it wouldn't chamber
Check That Ammo!!

Speaking of Winchester White Box ammo.
In Oct. one of my students found 2 rounds of 40 S&W in a box of 9mm 115 gr FMJ's The box was sealed when he arrived, and he did not bring any other ammo with him other than 3 boxes of 9mm.
In November, a student reported he had found 2 rounds of .380 in a box of 9mm.
Update: the squib load of UMC was from an older box, that had not been stored in the best conditions

Ever wondered why it is that the conservatives are called the "right" and the liberals are called the "left."
Then by 'chance' stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:
Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)
"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left."

Locked & loaded in Wisconsin
Really love Auric Gold's response:
"But first, as a gun instructor, if people hire me with the expectation that I will be able to share some knowledge and improve their proficiency with a firearm and enhance their ability to survive a bad situation, I cannot simply be "adequate" with a gun. I have to be good. As good as I can possibly become. I owe it to them, because while I may be fortunate and never need a gun to protect myself or others, I can neither predict nor control the circumstances I will find myself in, or that of any person who comes to me wanting to become more proficient with a firearm or to enhance their personal and household security."
Now that is an Instructor with the right attitude!

Training Center Threatened With Closure
The did everything right, went to zoning, got the proper permits, built a safe range, and jumped through all the hoops, now the neighbors wanted them shut down, because they do not want those type of people (law abiding persons taking courses) in their neighborhood.
So In New York City
If you stay away (avoidance) from illegal drugs you really lower your odds of being shot.

So what do you do for 12 hours?
From an email:
"Well the class was everything you said and less. I was really frustrated. I was made the range officer and told not to teach anything. There were a few new shooters that really needed some one on one and I had 30 plus others to watch out for at the same time, class totaled 62 I had them all in 2 shifts. The class was pretty much "the booklet". He said that people did not need or want to know about guns, gun parts, how guns worked, different ammo, or how to shoot, other than keep it pointed downrange and shoot 100 rounds. Yes the money is and would be nice but I don"t think I want my name connected to that. Thanks for the info and advice"
Gee as instructors I thought we were suppose to cover all that stuff, like gun parts, and you know like how to shoot, you know knowledge, skills etc., and I can't help but ask how can one guy keep 30 shooters safe? I have found over the years, that people, at least most really do want to know about these things before they carry a gun.

The Old Man is Gone
What can I say about Art?
He was one of the more unusual cats I've met, and I suppose I was his human. That's the way it is with cats you don't adopt them, they adopt you. He looked a lot like a Maine Coon cat, his long fur making him appear bigger than he was.
When I met Lady D in 2001, she had Art, and Alf, at that time he was a bit more than physco, just walking into the same room with him would freak him out. He moved here in 2002 and within a couple of months not only did he settle in, but he settled down, It seemed that the quiet of the country agreed with him more that the city he had moved from.
By 2003 he had matured, and he took on the roll of guardian, whenever one of the dogs got a bit pushy, he would come flying from where ever he was at the time, he would always place himself in harms way to protect. His hair fluffed out his back arched giving the appearance of a cat much larger than he was. One night he backed the Doberman all the way in the fireplace which did have a fire going, and the dog gave ground until her butt started burning, then she only wanted to escape. In 06 the Rotti went after one of the cats, and Art leaped up and wrapped himself around her head like a coon skin cap, till she gave ground. It was a sight watching the dog trying to shake loose that bundle of fur with an attitude.
He would do the same when the other cats had disagreements, putting himself between the aggressor, and the victim, until things calmed down, He just seemed to prefer harmony over chaos.
In 2005 he began following us down to the range and would hang out with us while we were shooting, and what I mean by hangout he would sit on the shooting bench, by 2006 he would go with the classes when they were shooting, only the Instructor classes, not the beginner or CCW classes, somehow he knew the difference.
He would get up on the backstop and walk around right behind the target rack, or be weaving his way the length of the benches. Or perhaps just off to the side, a hot casing bouncing off of him from time to time, which he would just ignore.
By 2007 he wasn't as involved with the range, but gunfire still didn't bother him, in 2008 when we built the new training building, he resented it, but made it a point to come out and intermingle with students during breaks
He was a gentleman, except when it came to spaghetti, then a bit more than demanding, but all in all he was the quiet little lord of his domain.
He will be missed and remembered

Barky said he supported the 2nd Amendment
But he selected Travers for ATF Directors slot
If appointed, here is where he stands:
- Establish a “best practices" protocol for voluntary gun surrender programs
- Destroy all firearms that come into the possession of any law enforcement agency (even if such firearms were initially stolen and then recovered)
- Track and follow all private gun sales in a national data base with a mandatory background check on the purchaser
- Limit the sale of “multiple handguns”
- Mandate a “ballistic fingerprint” for every gun that is sold
- Require that every gun come with a lock
- Require that every owner provide for a federally regulated “safe storage” for his weapons, and “prosecute those who fail to comply with [those] safe storage laws.”
- Enact legislation “to allow federal health and safety oversight of the firearms industry.”

Shame he couldn't be convicted
For being stupid
To me it is common sense if you are going to pocket carry, that gat belongs in a "Pocket Holster". I've heard and read about a lot of accidents, and near accidents concerning pocket carry, but not one involved a gun that was in a holster.
My partner had a student fling a Kel-Tec across a jewelry store that was posted when his keys got entangled in the trigger guard.
A few months ago a fellow in a nearby city carried his pocket gun in a bar, and when he reached for his keys discharged the a .380 into his girlfriends leg, bet a pocket holster would have been cheaper than all the charges he faced.
I also know of a guy that got in a situation, and pulled his 38 out of his pocket by the barrel, and pointed the grips at his attacker, lucky the appearance of the gun caused the bad guy to run.

The problem with this argument is it is based on the assumption that criminals are reasonable people, rather than desperate and savage animals.
Those that want to carry guns realize that criminals are unreasonable savages, and there is no predicting what they will do. I think they would rather have the ability to fight back, than be helpless lambs slaughtered at the whim of a desperate criminal.
