... "For someone whose legislative actions dropped him from an NRA 'A+' rating in 200 to an 'F' in 2010, with an eight percent key vote record in 2012, there is no appreciable difference between Republican McKinney and Democrat Malloy anyway. CCDL is taking the lead to show gun owners -- in Connecticut and everywhere else -- that coordinated activists can force change, and that their demands can define a standard office holders must adhere to -- if not out of principle then out of a basic political survival instinct." ... |

She can't say she didn't know,' notwithstanding, The War on Guns Blog has documented many instances of criminal home invasions done under the guise of being law enforcement raids. A companion category to its 'Only Ones' files (dispelling the myth that police are the only ones who can be trusted with guns) titled 'Fauxnly Ones' provides numerous examples from news accounts over the years." ... |

"I was very interested in the Ballistic Gel tests done with both Speer Gold Dots and ball ammo. Many of us senior citizens carry pocket .380's. The LCP is very popular in my area although most say they are hard to shoot. I have seen ballistic tests with the .380 Gold Dots before which is why I do not carry it any more. However, I do carry Hornady Critical Defense .380 and that only penetrates 10" but does expand. I also carry .380 DPX but it probably is not much better. After looking at a lot of gel test with JHP .380 ammo. I am seeing a consistent result; they all penetrate about 9-10 inches. That may seem ample to many but imagine taking a side shot or a shot through an arm. ..." ... |

... "To address the problem of expensive operation Ruger decided to chamber his first Single-Six in everyone’s favorite cartridge, the not so lowly .22 Long Rifle. This allowed for very inexpensive shooting, however in a full-size Colt such a chambering results in an overly heavy revolver. Bill addressed this by downsizing the frame of his sixgun to better match the size of the .22."
"The overall result was a virtually indestructible, well-balanced sixgun selling for, at least by the time I bought mine in 1956, $63.25. Just as they had with his first .22 semi-automatics, shooters took the .22 Single-Six immediately into their shooting hearts and it’s been a bestseller ever since. ..." ... |
