Like… nearly 50% off just because you’re a USPSA member. Pretty cool, although the guns on the list aren’t the greatest for USPSA, unless you want to shoot Singlestack. Either way, it’s cool of Remington to do it, maybe once production gets scaled up on the re-branded Para stuff they’ll have some deals on some doublestack 2011’s or something so I can get a Limited pistol… hint hint… Full details here. Pricing list here.

So the episode of the Practical Pistol Show with Ben and I is up. It’s got some naughty language in it, so if you’re easily offended by such things, you should harden up and watch it anyways.

Man or woman, if you don’t read Cornered Cat, you’re wrong.

This afternoon Ben Stoeger invited us on the Practical Pistol Show, to talk a little more about the Anti-Competition Competitors topic that we talked about in Episode 130 of podcast. I’m not totally sure when it’ll air, but it will be on Ben’s YouTube page when it does air.  

Candy Sugarman from the Gun Powder Gals is hosting a concealed carry fashion show this coming September. As a manly man, I’m not super interested in such a thing, but as someone who believes that women should be empowered to carry wherever they please for their own protection, I think this is a great idea to show women some of the different ways to carry concealed, and possibly try some different types of holsters and …

Thursday on the 6PM news, WRAL will be exposing a runaround to NC law that allows people to obtain a concealed carry permit while bypassing NC’s “rigorous” requirements.

While I disagree with having to get the Sheriffs blessing before purchasing a handgun, there’s a little part of the NC law that sticks in my craw even worse, and that’s that the Sheriff can deny a PPP to someone based on their moral character.

Last Wednesday (just minutes before my car blew up) I decided while driving home from work that I would start keeping track of the amount of pro-gun and anti-gun bumper stickers that I see on my commute across Raleigh every day. I basically only had one rule: I wouldn’t count the stickers if I saw them in parking lots (not fair, because I spend a lot of time at gun and sporting good type stores) …

According to the Daily Mail, Bilzarian was forced to make this gun safety/exploding target PSA to avoid jail time. Honestly, I think it’s completely hilarious. The AK-47 Hooka, the Action Figure of himself, and the picture on the wall behind him are wonderful touches. Well played sir.

Y’all seem ready and willing to introduce new pro-gun legislation this session, so I wanted to take a moment and let you know about a few things that I’d like to see fixed in the general statutes regarding guns: Currently, a concealed pistol can only be secured in a vehicle on school grounds.
