They still claim there are fewer guns, fewer gun owners, and more support for gun control Plus they take credit for the lower homicide rates

You are doing it wrong
My left hand was locked on my right wrist, and I stood sideways with my feet slightly apart. I squeezed one eye shut, focused the other on a target about 40 feet away and braced myself for the kickback. I pulled the trigger, and the muzzle of my Sig Sauer 9mm flashed and jerked upward.

1911 Class Day 3
Detail stripping the 1911, and every brand is just a bit different
We learned how to trouble shoot the 1911 and the best aftermarket enhancements
My Kimber Stainless II
Ken Hackathorn makes a point about the 1911
Springfield Armory Cut away
Larry Vickers Explaining the beaver tail safety
All in all a decent class, after 2 days on the range and in the shoot house, we moved to the classroom. Both instructors had strong opinions concerning todays production guns, both favor the Wilson Combat CQB.
The major points they made was the 1911 does need to maintained (Vickers "If you are going to treat your gun like your lawnmower get a Glock")
Use quality magazines and replace your recoil springs often, and keep them well lubed. Hackathorn recommended Mobil 1.

So you'll pledge Allegiance to the UN?
Vet protests the pledge of allegiance
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.
But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...
There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all.
We have room for but one flag, the American flag...
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.
And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people"
“Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.”
- Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President, 1902

1911 Class day 2, Shot an Uzi
I think I had pretty good trigger control, getting 3 bursts out of 10 rounds, and I prevailed in the Dosier Drill, beating the other person with the Uzi.
Ken Hackathorn did a good job with the shoot house, and among the drills Larry Vickers ran some good malfunction drills on the flat range.
Round table tonight there were several pretty collectable hand guns, and discussion of the history of JMB's top inventions
The range was so busy I didn't get phots, and when Iwas going to take them of some of the rare 1911's found I had left the memory card at home

Wierd Directions
For stoved shoulder stopped and got one of those medicated hot/cold patches
From the directions:
Wear one patch up to 8 hour
Repeat as necessary, but not more than 3 times a day
Some where they have longer than 24 hour days?

How do you throw a shoulder out sleeping?
Felt fine this morning, but when I fired the first magazine this morning it felt like I'd attached myself to a high voltage line, even with lots of Advil, it didn't get any better.
In addition both of the Kimber Stainless II's (9mm) had issues....
To top it off locked both sets of keys in the trunk.
Well there is always tomorrow

Of course you also missed the fact that Utah changed the requirements on non-resident licenses, you now need a resident license to get a Utah non-resident ccw, with a few exceptions.

Local governments, she said, ought to train law enforcement officers so they are prepared for bizarre cases such as the one that unfolded in Zanesville.
They don't get enough training to deal with the "Normal" bizarre cases they get.

Both have MOLLE loops so you can add on, the back pack might be more comfortable to carry any extended time, and it is about half the price of the Drago

As long as there are guns, the individual that wants a gun for a crime is going to have one and going to get it. The only person who’s going to be penalized and have difficulty is the law-abiding citizen, who then cannot have [it] if he wants protection -- the protection of a weapon in his home.

"There are some places your rights should be restricted
to preserve an overall sense of safety and security, such as a college campus," said Matt Wingfield of Flint Hill.
But Matt, what if restricting my rights, makes me feel less safe or secure?
“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
― Benjamin Franklin

Ammunition Smuggling
One sentence stood out for editorial oversight:
The weapons favored by groups like the Zetas and the Gulf Cartel -- including an AK-47 knock-off known as the "cuerno de chivo" -- are high-power assault weapons which can fire up to one full round with each pull of the trigger
Because there are no legal requirements to report mass sales of ammunition, U.S. law enforcement agencies have little ability to identify and track suspicious purchases. This is basically the same problem facing agencies like the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) when it comes to breaking up gun trafficking networks.

It's a little disarming," she said. "This is such a quiet community. We don't expect things like this."
"It's like Mayberry in the middle of Los Angeles," said Doyle Surratt, lead pastor of SeaCoast Grace Church. "We're small and all the kids go to school together."
There are no safe places, or safe neighborhood, and sadly in places like California only large groups victims, as the government does not trust the law abiding to be armed.

Gun Running
Now it's the ammunition
One factor that enables the smuggling is the relative ease with which bullets can be bought in the United States. There are few restrictions on the number of rounds someone can buy.
few restrictions exist for buying ammunition in the U.S. Laws that once treated ammunition sales as rigorously as gun sales were repealed in 1986 and have not been re-enacted.
I remember a sheet we put our names on for handgun ammo but that is about it

Comparing OWS Protesters
to the TEA Party
Is like comparing Apples to Horse Apples, the TEA Party never attacked the police or trashed the locations where events were held. Nor did the TEA party ever threaten harm to anyone
It will be interesting to see the difference in the left and the right

The gun he used is manufactured as a semi-automatic sport rifle, (but it is not a dual caliber as stated in the article)

Wish I had said that
The lady is wise, listen well to her words
I really do tell my students repeatly that they need to continue training, practicing the skills but few seem to listen
In the video below, do you see skill, and training, or panic and luck?
The robber could have pumped rounds through the door, It is hard to tell if she tagged him or not, but he could have shot while she was on the floor
If you do not practice a skill, it may not be there when you need it.
The common trait of old warriors is that they continually sharpen themselves by study, by training, by cultivation of spirit: always striving to be better tomorrow than today.
Warriors who do not do this do not live to be old warriors.

Not in my America
"The basic requirement to register a handgun is longstanding in American law, accepted for a century in diverse states and cities and now applicable to more than one fourth of the nation by population," the judges wrote. However, the court said the district must show "an important or substantial government interest" in maintaining what the court deemed the district's "novel" registration requirements.
Those include: banning residents from registering more than one firearm per month; requiring gun owners to undergo vision tests, fingerprinting and background checks; and requiring registration of shotguns and rifles.
I do feel a bit of sorrow for those behind enemy lines

Well the NRA is the membership
By the 1970's we realized the old NRA was bargining away our rights, and the membership changed the leadership
First they came for the machine guns, I didn't step up because I didn't have a machine gun
Then they came for short barreled shotguns, I didn't step up because I didn't have a short barreled shotgun
Then they came for the silencers, I didn't step up because I didn't have a silencer
Then they came for the handguns, and I didn't step up because I didn't have a handgun
Then they came for my fine target rifle, and there was no one left to step up for me
Dianne Feinstein:
"If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an out-right ban, picking up every one of them... 'Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in,' I would have done it

Something followed me home from gun-show
9mm Colt Combat Commander Series 70
It had original Colt grips, but I had a spare set of CT grips I installed, it is my first Colt pistol, does show some use, outside, but shoots real well.

My view
GRPC in Chicago, yes they chose it as it does not allow its citizens the right to arms.
I did have a conflict in my own schedule, but I'm also not going to attend an event that I have to deprive myself of my rights, or contribute money to a place that wants to deprive me of my rights. It was not the event itself, as with the NRA in Charlotte NC the venue was questioned, but at least in traveling to the event, in the motel etc I could still have the right and means of defense, but traveling into a state and a city that forbid it was my issue.

Bar Carry in Ohio
Very poorly written article
I do find it funny the faith they have in No Gun signs, yet seem to think those carrying legally will break the law, and drink, since it is now a felony to do so.
