The Legendary Beretta 93R ! @Armed

Posted by Bob Owens on April 17, 2015 at 5:04 pm

Larry Vickers recently got his hands on a very rare and special machine pistol that Beretta developed for special operations use from the 92 series of pistols. You’ll note that the version Larry fires has a different compensator that the 93R we were allowed to handle (but not shoot) at a recent writer’s event with Beretta.

#PJNET #Obama's Anti-Gun AG Nominee is Close to Defeat

Three months ago, the lapdog media was convinced that the confirmation of Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch was a "slam dunk."  Now, not so much.

Lynch, as you may remember, has been characterized as "Eric Holder in a skirt."  She committed, under oath, to continue to push Holder's unconstitutional anti-gun executive amnesty.  She is in favor of a semi-auto ban, which should be of interest at a time when the Justice Department is using every means possible to ban semi-autos by executive fiat.

In addition, when asked about the central pillar of Barack Obama's anti-gun push -- the universal background check/gun registry -- she claimed not to really know anything about it.  Which leads to one of two conclusions:  Either Lynch is a liar and a perjurer or she is far too ignorant to be Attorney General.

Lynch's nomination is particularly pivotal because she is viewed as being groomed to be the fifth anti-gun vote on the U.S. Supreme Court, replacing either Anthony Kennedy or Antonin Scalia. Of course, if Lynch were to be confirmed to the court -- riding on the wings of her AG confirmation -- both Heller and McDonald would be overturned.  The Second Amendment, as far as the courts are concerned, would be a nullity.

So what's the status?  Contrary to the press's expectations, Lynch's vote count in the Senate is still stuck at 50/50.  Right now, there are almost ten Senators who are either on the fence, or are in favor of Lynch (when they should be opposing Lynch).

Here is that target list of Senators who could use extra prodding:

• Jeff Flake (R-AZ)
• Michael Bennet (D-CO)
• Mark Kirk (R-IL)
• Susan Collins (R-ME)
• Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND)
• Dean Heller (R-NV)
• Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
• Orrin Hatch (R-UT)
• Joe Manchin (D-WV)

If you get a chance to attend a Town Hall meeting with any Senator -- but especially with those listed above -- please urge them to oppose the Loretta Lynch nomination

STOP #OBAMA ILLEGAL #AMMO BAN !!!

The Obama Administration
Wants To BAN Your AR-15 Ammo

Sign the petition to stop this now!

Dear Gun Owner,

We are in the fight of our lives!

The White House and President Obama is pulling no punches and it doesn’t look like they’re ready to back down ... unless ... YOU make them!

As you probably know, the ATF has a proposal out to ban one of the most common forms of AR-15 ammo. And until now, the White House has not commented on it.

But now they have, and the message is clear:

They want to BAN your AR-15 ammo!

Just look at what the President’s top spoke person said on Monday, March 2, 2015:

“We are looking at additional ways to protect our brave men and women in law enforcement and believe this process is valuable for that reason alone,"

The White House press secretary went on to say ...

"This seems to be an area where everyone should agree: If there are armor-piercing bullets available that can fit into easily concealed weapons, that puts our law enforcement at considerably more risk. I'd put this in the category of common-sense steps our government can take."

In other words ...

The President Is Doing His Best To BAN Your Access to Cheap, Reliable AR-15 Ammunition!

... and the White house is trying desperately to get clueless Americans and the main stream media to go along with it by saying it’s for “police safety”.

But I know you are not that dumb, and you won’t fall for their tricks!

The truth is:

Because the President couldn’t get Congress to pass any new gun control laws (what he called the “biggest frustration” of his Presidency!), He will now do everything in his power to use executive actions and other political foul play to move AROUND congress.

Don’t let this happen!

Click here to sign the petition to STOP the M855 Ammo Ban!

Show the gun grabbers at the ATF you mean business. Show the White House that we are not a nation of sheep ... we are not slaves ... we are not colonists who you can disarm at will ... let’s show them that this is OUR country!

CLICK HERE to sign the petition and show them that the 2nd Amendment shall NOT be infringed, EVER!

#JPET #TCOT NJ GUN OWNERS DODGE NEW ‘SMART GUN’ REGS

In the movie "Skyfall," James Bond was issued a smart gun that only he could fire. (Screen capture)

Garden State gun owners gained a small victory when the state attorney general determined that a new handgun technology did not qualify as a “smart gun” under 2002 state law that would ban conventional handguns and mandate exclusive use of smart guns once they are found to exist.

“Gun owners are not opposed to new technology – they are opposed to laws that mandate the exclusive use of one technology and ban everything else,” said Scott L. Bach, executive director and official spokesperson of the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs, an official National Rifle Association state affiliate. “If smart gun technology is so great, put it out there without the mandates and let the market decide.”

The ostensible purpose of smart gun technology is to render a firearm usable by only a specific authorized user, he said. “It is supposed to be a personalized firearm; if you are not authorized to use it, you cannot use it – at least in theory.”

New Jersey gun owners oppose the 2002 Personalized Handgun Law because he said it limits gun buyers to purchasing only handguns made with smart gun technology, as long as the smart gun is available for sale for three years and is certified by the state’s attorney general.

Gun Test: Winchester SXP Marine Defender 12-Gauge

By John Taffin, GUNS Magazine

Self-defense means, well, defense of self. It does not mean self-offense nor does it mean lawnmower-defense. Self-defense is protecting self and family against death and/or serious injury. As much as we may be angered at someone stealing a lawnmower from our property, shooting in such a case is not self-defense. You could buy 1,000 lawnmowers for the cost of a defense attorney for shooting when self-defense is not involved. Keep the shotgun loaded, stay in the house and call 9-1-1. Self-defense begins if home intrusion takes place, and the noise of a pump shotgun being activated is not something intruders want to hear.

I always have a handgun close at hand, however, there is also a shotgun or two handy and my latest choice is the new Winchester 12-gauge pump shotgun, the SXP Marine Defender. The “SXP” stands for Super-X Pump. This latest Winchester pump shotgun is produced in Istanbul and imported by Browning.

The name does not refer to it being used by the United States Marines but rather being able to be carried on a boat without worrying about rust. The main components are chosen for this with the buttstock and forearm being a black synthetic, the receiver a black coated alloy and the barrel and magazine tube finished in a matte hard chrome as is the interior of the barrel.

Rogue North Carolina Judge Ignores Law, Bans Concealed Carry At State Fair

Posted by Bob Owens on October 16, 2014 at 9:18 am

Greensboro News & Record columnist Doug Clark is hardly a fan of the Second Amendment, so it is noteworthy when he points out that Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens ignored state law when he banned concealed carry at the North Carolina State Fair.

I’m not sympathetic to the firearms-everywhere gun-rights group Grass Roots North Carolina, but this time I think it has a point.

Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens pretty much ignored the intent of the law when he ruled yesterday that Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler can ban concealed handguns from the State Fair.

GRNC President Paul Valone issued a statement this morning saying:

“Judge Donald Stephens’ decision in the GRNC lawsuit against posting the state fair against concealed carry can best be summarized in his own words: ‘…I do believe it would be unwise and imprudent for firearms to be carried into the State Fair, and if there is some way I can interpret these statutes to prohibit that, I will.'”

UNC School of Government’s Jeff Welty examined the legal issues last week on the North Carolina Criminal Law blog.

“The principal concealed carry statute is G.S. 14-415.11,” Welty wrote. “It establishes the general rule that a person with a concealed carry permit ‘may carry a concealed handgun unless otherwise specifically prohibited by law.’ So, under the law, concealed carry is allowed at the State Fair unless there is a law specifically prohibiting it, or allowing the Agriculture Commissioner to prohibit it. To the best of my knowledge, the Commissioner hasn’t publicly identified any such law.”

Welcome To Arizona - Phoenix Gun owner stops robbery, kills dirt bag

Posted by Bob Owens on October 16, 2014 at 7:49 am

A spilled bin of cash and other items remain at one of the multiple crime scenes outside a Phoenix bank where a business owner shot and killed one of two bank robbers Wednesday.

A Phoenix business owner saw a bank robbery beginning to unfold in the strip mall where he works and decided to take action to defend his neighbors. He grabbed his own gun, snatched the keys from the robber’s still running and undefended car, and laid in wait for the robbers as they left the store, toting a bin full of cash.

When they suspects emerged, the business owner opened fire.

Two armed suspects wearing masks entered the Desert Schools Credit Union near Cactus and Tatum around 3 p.m. and attempted to rob it, police said. A witness then opened fire on the suspects. It is not known if the suspects returned fire.

Authorities said one of the suspects was shot and transported to a local hospital where he died. The second suspect fled the bank and stole a vehicle from someone at gunpoint, damaging several cars as he fled.

Concealed-weapons applicants say they want protection

Abi Maldonado wants to carry a gun because he’s regularly sent to high-crime neighborhoods to fix broken automated teller machines. “The money is insured; I don’t care about the money, I just want to go home, that’s pretty much what it comes down to,” he said.

Jay Kinzie wants to be prepared, just in case his martial arts skills aren’t enough to fend off anyone who’d choose to do him harm.

“When I think of carrying a firearm, to me, it’s an insurance policy; it’s like a fire extinguisher, a spare tire or a smoke detector,” he said..
