    NY red flag law ruled unconstitutional

    All well and good but will be of little difference, as the process itself is the punishment, or a major component thereof. Fully expect Hochul to double down and issue a double-crimson plus flag law in response.

    Florida goes permitless carry

    I’m quite alright with Candace Owens as VP running mate. I don’t think she’d do it, but she would be good at it.

    Trump calls for independent investigation of multi-year probe by 'weaponized' NY prosecutors

    Thirty counts of what? Existing? Mean tweets? Boning porn stars? Marrying hotter women than this imbecile DA has ever even been within a hundred yards of? There’s so much small dick energy coming off this DA it’s laughable. Someone is definitely trying to prove his worth to his masters.

    Teachers union president Randi Weingarten called for gun confiscation

    As if the teachers union cares about a Christian school. Newsflash, they do not. They are adamantly opposed to any school option which is not the state run public education system. Pure political profiteering by Weingarten.

    Trump Suggests He Will Be Arrested Tuesday, indicted 30 March

    Indeed. Wouldn't it be a trip to find Soros bucks filtering in? Bye, any vestiges of credibility, if they indeed have any following O'Keefe's departure.

    NYS bill S6033 requiring gun owners to get liability insurance reintroduced

    None. That’s the point. Can’t have gun without insurance. Can’t get insurance. Ergo, confiscation or at the very least a de facto ban on purchases.

    Trump Suggests He Will Be Arrested Tuesday, indicted 30 March

    Vacationed in “the hood in the northern woods” as you say? Not often a typical destination for non residents and aberrant enough in my book to warrant further looking about. I mean, who actually goes TO NY to vacation, who doesn’t already live here?

    Buckle Up Part 2: Federal Reserve Announces Complete Takeover of the US Economy

    Get your marketable skills up to snuff, the barter economy is on the horizon and closing fast. Oh, and learn the hows and whys of Faraday cages, for the digital tattletale that all this nonsense will inevitably be tied to...

    I need to fish where he’s fishing.

    Boy, 13, charged with assault after allegedly pistol-whipping bartender who asked for ID

    But not for the misguided youth, remember…. He gets to Constitutional Carry.

    Hochul wants unilateral authority to override housing rules to increase housing development

    Closest you’re gonna get to that are some trailer parks in Westhampton/Hampton Bays (aka the poor Hamptons). Southampton had undeveloped land in town at $25 million/acre not so very long ago. The people who buy property in Southampton, Bridgehampton, and Easthampton are the people who buy...

    Trump Suggests He Will Be Arrested Tuesday, indicted 30 March

    All of it, likely. One thing our government seems to be quite good at is creating uprisings and unrest, be it in foreign locations or domestic. Quite outside their charter, should be grounds for public cessation of oxygen consumption for the instigators and their superiors who gave the marching...

    Black powder gun

    I’ve got a Colt Navy Pietta, quite a nice piece. Brass frame, and the cylinder doesn’t lock up correctly, so sadly more of a conversational item at the moment. I’d love to find a smith who could sort it out. I’ve seen a reproduction LeMat… can’t recall who made it but it was quite expensive...

    PA proposes ammunition background checks

    And recently went Constitutional Carry… a step I can’t see PA making any time soon.

    Russia Intercepts and Downs MQ-9 "Reaper" Drone Over Black Sea

    Would’ve been amusing if they dropped in front of it and whacked the afterburners. Jet wash can play havoc with prop driven planes. Wonder if that Twitter vid is legit?

    Russia Intercepts and Downs MQ-9 "Reaper" Drone Over Black Sea

    Someone needs to smack Lindsey Graham with a frozen trout. Proxy war is quite enough, nobody in the US wants a declared (or undeclared, as in every conflict since Vietnam) war, except stockholders in defense industries.

    Biden to reinforce background checks for gun buyers

    And that’s gonna do what for private party sales, which are legal in the majority of states? Oh that’s right… nothing. Political grandstanding and stroking his base’s collective schlong, that’s it.

    Buckle Up: Silicon Valley Bank Seized by the Fed

    Climate tech? Planet at stake? What a maroon. The planet doesn’t care about your stupid little carbon footprint games. Want to make a difference for the planet? Stop being a fucking slob, personally and corporately. Clean your house, literally and figuratively.

    Illinois assault weapons ban ruled unconstitutional

    Over the past few years, there have been an awful lot of things which people would either have been shot for or hung for, not so very long ago.

    What do you believe is a loaded firearm?

    Loaded if there is a live round in any chamber. Unloaded if all chambers are empty or contain spent casings.

    What do you believe is a loaded firearm?

    To my way of thinking, the presence or absence of a safety, engaged or not, does not alter the fact that there is (loaded) or is not (unloaded) a round in front of the firing pin. Loaded is the status of the chamber, not any ancillary feeding mechanism whatever that may consist of. I’m sure my...

    You Have to see this. Senate confirmation hearing, Biden nominated him to lead the Federal Aviation Administration

    High school dropout does not equate to ignorant. This is an extremely unfortunate interview, and does not cast him in any kind of favorable light at all. That being said, being the CEO of an airport is hardly a qualifier in my book. CEO seats are not typically filled with the kind of people who...

    What do you believe is a loaded firearm?

    Loaded implies ready to fire, to me. A gun without a round chambered is effectively inert without further action, namely chambering a round. It cannot be used as anything other than a bludgeon without said action. Ergo, unloaded chamber is unloaded.

    Financed? I suspect gifted in advance of future reciprocal payments to the bank accounts of numerous criminals in and around government offices in this country.

    Sheriff Deputizing People is The Way Forward

    Honestly can’t think I have… perhaps rumors of such around a natural disaster down south but that’s all I’ve got. I’m sure such events (deputized citizens) would be quite poorly reported on up here in the great blue northeast, though.

    Is "Constitutional Carry" safe & smart?

    New Yorkers have this evil brand of Stockholm Syndrome… after so many years of having fundamental rights infringed, they start to justify it and cast aspersions on other Americans who don’t have the same infringements held over their head. Any and all “gun control” is infringement. If a person...

    David Hogg says Second Amendment 'intentionally misinterpreted' to protect individual rights

    English is hard. The founders wrote the 2A the way they did to head off misinterpretation. Yet here we are. Ham Hogg and every other bleeding idiot that thinks we need to “interpret” a short, concise, simply worded English phrase needs to remove themselves from the gene pool in the most...

    bidens Surprise visit to Ukraine

    Russian interest is not best served in starting a world war. I feel like our own politburo is the only party interested in that outcome.

    Oof. Poor kid must hear all kinds of commentary… I can’t imagine. School age kids are brutal enough without this kind of ammo.

    Biden to release massive amounts of oil from the strategic reserve

    Indeed and it would make sense for the US to do the same. But this is clown world and stupid is smart and smart is criminalized.

    Biden to release massive amounts of oil from the strategic reserve

    More likely they’re cutting exports and keeping their production within their own borders. But this is just conjecture…

    The governor has called for the government-mandated construction of 800,000 low-cost housing units across New York State.

    My 12 year old daughter had a new student from Guatemala in her class several weeks ago. She spoke no English at all, but my daughter knows a few basic things in Spanish and would sit with her and help out as much as she could. This girl didn’t know where they came from but it was on a plane...

    Hidden Compartments

    The problem with reasonable suspicion as frequently applied is that segment of time and events between say, traffic stop and DA. Before the DA chucks it and says this is ridiculous, who’s being detained, car torn apart and possibly damaged on the highway shoulder or in a rest area? Who is losing...

    Hidden Compartments

    Drugs are the magic word in reasonable suspicion… LEO doesn’t need anything other than to suspect drugs might be present for “reasonable suspicion“ to be applied. Ashes on the dashboard? Reasonable suspicion (despite driver being a cigar smoker). Concealed lockable box or compartment...

    The Best Lever Action Rifles of 2023

    SHTF Communications

    The EFJ 5100. Shares battery, antenna and accessory connector. Versions with the 380-470 MHz range are Federal government spec and likely contain the AES encryption module. The 5100ES with firmware major version 6 are the most recent and robust.

    The governor has called for the government-mandated construction of 800,000 low-cost housing units across New York State.

    I’d consider something like that, if I didn’t enjoy my firearms quite so much. If my later life plan was to disappear completely and be a hermit in a foreign country, though… this looks very promising. The only thing actively preventing me from considering an expat situation is my kids and my guns.

    SHTF Communications

    The XTS is a P25 radio, different digital protocol than DMR. I wouldn’t worry about firmware updates… if it works and functions as you need they’re a set and forget kind of thing. I’ve got the cousin to the XTS, EF Johnson 5100’s. They’re my grab a radio and go solution, I have encryption...

    "Fierce Backlash as Project Veritas Sidelines James O’Keefe after Pfizer Bombshells"

    From the article… Owens is spot on here. Veritas without O’Keefe is flatlined. Likely some or all of the other board members got a fat envelope of bills and instructions.

    Plumbers in Oakland have been robbed so often they are holding their own active shooter training

    I’m not sure what sort of plumbers they’re hiring out in Oakland, but when I was growing up blue collar trades were the ones you had to watch out for if you stole from them. I’ve seen more than a few guys on sites who looked like they’d have no problem whipping a 4’ pipe wrench like it was a...

    It isn’t much to ask. I check all of those boxes except the financial one. The rest, all in stride. So, a low bar indeed.
