Microstamping Mania
The legislature of the People’s Republik of Kalifornia has sent to the desk of the Governator a bill which will mandate that new semi-automatic handguns sold in Kalifornia after 2010 will have “microstamping” technology. “Microstamping” is a bizarre scheme which supposedly will stamp identifying information such as serial numbers, model of […]

A friend just returned from AK, where he worked on a protective detail, protecting field surveyors and others from bear attacks in the wilderness:“We used shotgun-launched, rubber slugs to ostensibly “discourage” curious bears who came too close.

Recently, I had to update my personal security estimate due to some specific circumstances that I’d rather not discuss in this forum. Suffice it to say that the concern is real and substantial enough that I decided that one 5-shot snubby was just not enough gun. I have returned to where I began with […]

I have […]
