Ares Armor in National City, CA is battling for their 1st Amendment rights, while promoting the 2nd. These folks put up a billboard for their business, and are being threatened with legal action and jail time if they don’t take it down. I’ll be honest in telling you that I’m not super familiar with Ares Armor, other than hearing their name a handful of times when scouring my Facebook feed, but after looking over their …

Washington DC is the only place in the US where microstamping is required other than California. As I reported yesterday, both Ruger and Smith & Wesson are allowing many of their firearms to fall off of the “not unsafe” handgun list in California. It appears that Washington DC, who also passed a microstamping law which was set to go into effect on January 1, decided to postpone the microstamping requirement for another two years. According …

Thanks to Facebook follower Richard for pointing this out: I must say, I got to feel up a Glock 42 today, and it feels great. Smaller than it looks, and the standard Glock trigger were all familiar with.

Colion Noir, an NRA commentator, best known for his well thought out YouTube videos got Fox New’s Bob Beckel so worked up his head nearly exploded. Noir did this video in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. day: (Link for those using a reader or email) Fox New’s ‘The Five’ commented on the video, and as expected the resident liberal on the show, Bob Beckel flips out over it. Here’s a link to the clip …

On Sunday Ben and I talked about how Ruger is ceasing to sell all semi-automatic handguns in California due to their microstamping law (that as far as we can tell still isn’t in effect). The CEO of Ruger had the following to say: Earlier today news broke that Smith & Wesson will be allowing their M&P handguns to be removed from the California approved handgun list in the next 60 days. This hasn’t been confirmed …

As you know, the last comparison that I did of the Remington R51 was not correct. I was using the 6″ overall length number that was published on many different blogs, and unfortunately that number was a little bit different from the 6 5/8″ number that I believe is correct, based on this reported SHOT show brochure of the R51 from Remington. 6″ vs. 6 5/8″ doesn’t really sound like much difference, but we need …

Surprisingly positive, and well done piece on some of the bigger gun related YouTube channels. Interesting to see old media doing an article on new media, and doing it in a positive light. I’ve learned two things about the establishment media over the past couple of years: Old media hates the new media. Establishment media hates guns. Well it seems that either we are making inroads with the old media or this article slipped under …

I lifted this picture from Miguel over at Gun Free Zone, because it shows the Remington R51 in someone’s hand at SHOT show. Now, originally we received some size numbers on the pistol stating that it has a 6″ overall length, and a 4.5″ height. The 6″ length was really attractive to me, as it puts the R51 in smaller than many of the other pistols in its class. Unfortunately after looking at the above …

Right after Christmas John Filippidis, a Florida resident, with a Florida concealed carry permit was traveling back to Florida from New Jersey with his family. As he passed into Maryland he was tailed, and finally pulled over by a Maryland Port Authority police officer, who then demanded to see his gun. Filippidis didn’t bring his gun, because as a law abiding gun owner he knew that he couldn’t carry it in hostile New Jersey and …
