Less than Ideal Conceal?
Gun disguised as smartphone made by US based Ideal Conceal about to go on sale [More]
Note the criticism of the concept by the police trainer. You can learn more about his creds, and they are considerable, here.
Undoubtedly its deployment and capacity limitations make it less than ideal for all situations, but it would still be plenty better than nothing for many situations. Plus I just think it's kind of a neat idea, and obviously a labor of ingenuity and love. And there are a couple advantages I can think of:
There are many urban and commercial areas in "open carry" states, where bearing arms has not been normalized. And that's something to consider for gun owners who refuse to get a concealed carry "permit" out of principle (and are tired of putting themselves at "legal" risk by carrying anyway), and who wish to avoid the negative consequences of standing out in the crowd by wearing openly.
Plus, Chuck Schumer hates them.

New Washington State Background Check Failure Reporting Law Raises Questions

Well THAT'S F#@!*d Up
It looks like all my old Examiner.com stuff, including all of the original Fast and Furious reports, is now being blocked from Wayback Machine retrieval "due to robots.txt."
I hope it's just a temporary glitch over at the Internet Archive. Otherwise, that's years of stuff that I often still need to refer to because it's the only documentation out there.
Yes, I still have Word documents, but those do not contain revisions or links added in the publishing tool on the journey from draft to final. It would literally take thousands of hours to reconstruct everything, a task I'll never be able to even attempt without giving up everything else.
I need to look into this, but not today. I need to focus on what's in front of me and channel the negativity (putting it mildly) I'm feeling over this into some serious workaround calculating.
God, those people were/are douchebags.

Big for Their Age
May 2017 marks the four year anniversary of the launch of the firearm news website called The Gun Feed.
The Gun Feed is a 24/7 news website (Its like Drudge Report, but for guns) that is proudly devoted to the online firearms community. The site showcases the latest firearms news headlines from around the web and is updated many times throughout the day, everyday.
The Gun Feed was first launched in May of 2013, and since its inception it has seen a ground-swell of support within the firearms community and has experienced exponential growth in traffic. During it's four years on the web, The Gun Feed has covered more than 62,000 firearms related stories and established itself as the go-to resource for the most up to date and breaking firearms news on the web.
The Gun Feed has helped bring far reaching recognition to some of the great stories of the gun rights movement, and it has helped to shape and define the fight against the civilian disarmament movement that is currently being waged in this country.
If you have not visited the site before then go check it out... Bookmark it, make it your homepage, and visit back often. The website is continually being updated with fresh news headlines so there is always something new and interesting for firearm owners to read.
The Gun Feed also has a dedicated mobile page and it works great on mobile devices.
All correspondence, advertising inquiries, and news tips can be sent to TheGunFeed@Gmail.com.
You can also connect with The Gun Feed on Twitter… @TheGunFeed... and on Facebook.It's a really good aggregator. And with routine suppression from news feeds, the dominance of "mainstream media" agenda spin and social media bias, we need all the channels of truth dissemination we can get.
Even the Gun-Grabbers Agree
"... Shannon Watts is a self-promoting tyrant.” [More]Well...yeah. And that makes me wonder about preexisting conditions.

The Hawaii Loophole
In Monday's opinion, the [Indiana] Supreme Court wholly agreed with Judge May's analysis. Specifically, the court ruled that a police officer, acting only on a tip that a person possesses a handgun, may not detain that person to confirm that he has a license to carry... [More]As George Pace reminds me via email:
Hawaii would be the only state in the nation where this ruling would not apply (should it be appealed to and upheld by SCOTUS), and would allow police to do the stop and frisk because the "only ones" here would state in court "Your Honor, we knew this person in "the mere possession of a handgun" was illegally carrying a firearm because not one single person in the state of Hawaii may lawfully bear a firearm outside their home because no such currently valid permits have been issued."Aloha ʻOe.
The Wild West at Its Worst
Curtis-Gazit argues that Forest Service Road 357 should simply be closed to recreational shooting. But in addressing concerns there or in any one specific location, Williams said, "We want to ensure that we don't continue to move the issue across the forest or into less desirable places." [More]Translation: She doesn't want shooting anywhere. I'd be curious to know the split of residents making noise and those who enjoy living in an area where they've always had access to nearby areas.
Methinks Jane has a broader agenda:
“It sounds like you’re in a war zone, especially when they have the high powered rifles and AK-47s,” said Jane Curtis-Gazit who lives less than a mile from where she says irresponsible shooting is abundant on shared public land. A few weeks ago, she said, one of those bullets flew right over her head.Local media sure likes to parrot her talking points.
The fact that "A person was recently ticketed for illegal shooting" also tells us there are already restrictions in the area that the "reporter" has not seen fit to elaborate on.

Maloney’s Stupid ‘Smart Gun’ Bill an Unintended Gift to Gun Owners
Because it shows Maloney for the sick tyrranophile that she is. It takes away the arguments that gun owner rights advocates are “paranoid” and that “No one wants to take your guns.” Of course they do. Every action on the part of these subversives under the guise of “common sense gun safety laws” is just another incremental nip toward that goal, and by going for this big a bite, Maloney shows her insatiable hunger and undeniable lust. [More]She's even uglier when she takes the mask off.
From That Point On
“From that point on, the data started getting murkier and murkier,” Swiat said. [More]Oh, it was murky long before then.
The problem comes with the presumption that all guns are brought on campuses by bad people with intent to harm. The bleaters doing the bidding of wolves have no idea how many citizens unwilling to surrender their rights take their chances and ignore stupid and offensive rules.

Follow the Leader?
Are Republicans lost in the spoils of power, just laying back and enjoying their super majority at the expense of good gun bills being left to languish? Why the reluctance to move on anything pro-Second Amendment? These are good questions to ask of House Speaker Tim Moore. [More]I have one more question:
If he's such a "leader," why the need to ask?
Moore was recommended by Grass Roots North Carolina-PVF where he was ranked 4 stars. He was endorsed by the NRA Political Victory Fund and rated as A+. That's a good start. It does get better as Rep. Moore was one of the speakers at a gun rights rally in 2013 organized by GRNC. Given their reputation as a "no compromise" organization, the fact that Moore would be one of the speakers says volumes about him.

But then again, if Hillary can get away with "her truth," why wouldn't all "progressives" follow a model that works?

Even if slavery was wrong, “there is a physical difference between the white and black races that will for ever forbid the two races from living together on terms of social and political equality.” His solution was a form of ethnic cleansing: shipping blacks off to Liberia, or Haiti, or Central America — anywhere as long as it wasn’t the United States.That memorial in Washington has to go!

“Like it or not,” Gottlieb observed, “the Courts have the final say whether you have gun rights or not." [More]No, you and I have the final say.
But that attitude doesn't surprise me from someone who disparaged "I will not comply," refused to admit the impact of "immigration" and a "pathway to citizenship" on that "single issue," endorsed Bloomberg immigration collaborator Grover Norquist, and based that "full vetting" on a statement Gorsuch made about not infringing "lightly."

Provided Your Assailant is Stupid
As anyone who would hold a gun on someone this way must be...
Back when I was young and immortal and taking all kinds of martial arts training, I could even get out of the way and strike a simulated blow with a "gun" pressed in my back before it could be fired. But fortunately, the gun wasn't real and the "assailant" was under instruction not to fire until I made the first move. Stress level and negative repercussions for failure were "zero."
It's not really that hard to understand -- it's why we leave car lengths between ours and the vehicle ahead based on speed. It takes an instant to realize and react, so the first move has the advantage.
I bring this up because there are some who watch an internet video or take a basic class and make the idiotic assumption they're ready to rumble. It's not like that, and as I've noted before, all other things considered, the most important element is will.

California Handgun Roster LEO Exemption Swaps Exclusive Privileges for Universal Rights
Because evidently the danger of “untested” guns that make them “unsafe” to be owned by the rest of us mundanes goes away when transferred to the capable hands of “trained professionals.” How that is so, when a gun making the “safe” list has nothing to do with operator skill and everything to do with manufacturers paying a fee to the state, is left unsaid. But the bottom line is, police are the “Only Ones” exempted and mere “civilians” (yeah, I know, that’s why it’s in quotation marks) will have their lives destroyed if they get caught violating the “rules.” [More]So the guy's against guns unless being for them for a favored group works to his political advantage...? Yep, sounds like equal justice for all to me...

Armed American Radio Tonight
I'll be joining host Mark Walters for Hour Three (10 p.m. Eastern) to talk about my latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column on the Bloomberg Moms screaming for attention at the NRA Annual Meeting, Opposite Day "progressive civil rights leader" John Lewis, my AmmoLand Dodge Demon piece, the Rock River/Springfield Arms controversy and whatever else he think he can fit into the conversation.
