I've been wanting some sort of bullet-resistant vest for a while, and the recent "sniper" murders in the D.C. area finally made me decide to buy. (I didn't really expect to be a target, but it was a good excuse.) The section on body armor in Boston's Gun Bible was written by the folks at...

Our Democratic governor continues to prove his pro-gun stance wasn't just election hype. (I'm still amazed.) There's a story in the Daily Press which quotes the VCDL: http://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-parkssep25,0,2481916.story?coll=dp%2Dheadlines%2Dtopnews Here's the AP story which includes...

I wanted an open carry/winter carry rig for my SIG 220, so I bought a Bianchi 7/7L thumbstrap belt holster, single mag holder, and B26 belt. It's nice gear, especially the belt - sturdy but thin enough to clip on a cellphone. However, the leather seems to be "sticky," mostly on the outer...

It seems like everyone is busy in the summertime, but maybe we can find a date when we can get together. K80Geoff has promised to drag SodaPop down from PA this time. ;) Where to you want to meet, NRA range, Bull Run for shotgun fun, or somewhere else?

This past Saturday on Fox 5 News in DC, there was a story of a Maryland (PG County?) man who started firing weapons out of the windows of his house, aiming for (invisible) intruders in the trees of his front yard. The media of course started using words like "arsenal," "assault weapons," and...

Did anyone else see the "Commando Camp" ( :rolleyes: ) report on FOX 5 DC tonight? It showed police training at the International Security School in Florida. They interviewed a DC SWAT team member, and another guy who I believe was credited as from "SWAT Magazine" but I can't remember his...

At the range yesterday, I had my first-ever malfunctions with my SIG P239. I was testing some Cor-Bon 9mm +P, and round 7 out of 8 became stuck against the top of the barrel. I reloaded the same magazine and tried again, and this time round 8 became stuck the same way. I loaded the individual...

This is notable because it lead the 6:00 news on NBC 4 today. Of course, the idjit reporter had to ask the cop on the scene if the store owner's gun was registered. :rolleyes: I'll try to follow up with more details later...

From Richmond Times-Dispatch: http://www.timesdispatch.com/vametro/MGB0PHVYLUC.html It looks like the jury made the right call. There were no gun charges mentioned, so he must have had a carry permit. He's lucky he wasn't convicted of the shooting, but I don't know how much that will comfort...
