Hunters for the Hungry

Feeding Virginia's hungry is the driving force behind Hunters for the Hungry.

Individuals across Virginia, hunters and non-hunters, are combining their efforts and financial support to feed the needy. Although much has been done, there remains much more to do.

The potential exists to receive, process, and distribute 250,000 pounds of venison annually to the less fortunate across Virginia. 2003-2004 has not only proved that goal is achievable, but has set a new standard for what the efforts of hunters, concerned individuals and businesses can do for the less fortunate.

Remington Model R-25

Remington has a new AR-10 style rig that comes in .243, 7mm-08 or .308.

They put this rig together with the hunter in mind as well as people preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse. The new R-25 modular repeating rifle boasts the most advanced design aspects of AR 308 Win. style rifles available today.

For peak accuracy, the R-25 features a precision-crafted 20 inch barrel with recessed hunting crown that’s free-floated within a machined-aluminum fore-end tube for the ultimate in shot-to-shot consistency. Six longitudinal flutes forward of the gas block provide increased rigidity and weight reduction while promoting rapid barrel cooling.

It comes with a 4 round magazine so it can be used as a hunting rifle. Picitinny rails make scopes and other accessories a breeze to attach.

The R-25 is also compatible with standard DMPS high capacity mags.

--MSRP is now about $1500. We will see how long that lasts in todays market.

Shopping Spree

President Elect Obama has sent me to the Internet on November 5th. Guy Fawkes is a good reminder:

“Remember, remember the fifth of November, The gunpowder, treason and plot,
I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.”

Today is a good day to remember.

I purchased a pile of high capacity mags November 5th.

Today, November 8th, not only do they cost a lot more, they are sold out.

--Gunpowder treason? Hmmmmm...

Voting Gun Owners

In this election, gun owners must ensure Obama loses.

Even if you don't like McCain, vote for him if you want to keep your gun rights.

Obama wants to eliminate Concealed Carry totally.
He wants to limit mag sizes.
Wants you to be helpless...

--Any gun owner that votes for Obama is insane.

She left them all speechless...

Suzanna Gratia Hupp explains meaning of the 2nd Amendment!

The law prohibited her from carrying a firearms. In other words, the law prohibited her from defending herself. Consider that for a minute, will you? When a law is passed that prohibits you from carrying a weapon, it is inhibiting your ability to defend yourself. Should the government be in the habit of doing such a thing? You are told that you should depend on the police for protection. Where were the police when Hennard was shooting up Luby’s...

When seconds counts, help is only minutes away.

--We need more spokes people like this.

Range Report

So I went to the range this weekend. In addition to sighting in a new scope on my ultra-light rig, I had a little unexpected fun.

My son and I went to an indoor range. Yes, I know, it was a beautiful day here in Virginia. But that means that Clark Brothers would be packed!

Anyway, I was shooting my .44 mag. It's usually the biggest noise in the room. That combined with a six foot fireball and its pressure wave, it's been fun.

Then the guy in the lane next to us lit up his Desert Eagle .50 cal.

Damn.

That baby is an attention getter. He was even kind of to let me try it! Big fun.

--Wow...

40mm Goodness

I was at the last gun show and saw a 40mm grenade launcher for sale for $239. It was new and attached via picatinny to the bottom rail of any modern rig.

I have to say I would love to have one of these. I need to find out the rules for purchase and use of 40mm grenade rounds.

-- Probably Class III but I am cool with that.

In my email today...

Mr. JB Miller,

In a rare fit of advance warning, this is to let you know that if you have some free time next Wednesday evening at 2200 ET, you might want to tune to CBS and catch the season premiere of "CSI New York."

For those of you who didn't know in advance (including us) about last year's CSI/NY season finale, the entire plot line of the show was about the KRISS Super V CRB (actually, the model used was our SBR/SO). The CSI team is trying to figure out how a bank robbery victim managed to get shot with two rounds in the same hole....as they say, you simply can't buy publicity like this. If you need to catch up on last season's finale, visit our site HERE.

Since the season-ender was a cliff hanger, we think it's reasonable that the premiere next Wednesday will also feature the KRISS.

Tell your friends. We have lots of KRISS firearms out with movie armorers, which is how this CSI event happened, so one never knows where we'll pop up next. Next time, one trusts, with the KRISS in the hands of the good guys.

All best,

I keep coming back to the CX4 Storm

The New Springfeild XDM 9mm

I confess that my current favorite round is the .45 automatic. With that said, it should also be noted that I have more 9mm handguns than .45 at this time.

I didn't think I would be buying any more 9mm handguns until I laid my hands on the new XDM 9mm. This beauty feels so very nice in my hand. The must human factors engineer on the team.

Very nice for that pending Zombie Outbreak!

--Excellent feel in the hand and it holds 20 rounds.

My Shopping List

I have been thinking about the official want list.

I believe it is time for a carbine in a 9mm or .45acp.

T-Bolt was talking about it over in his blog.

Best case scenario would be to obtain a one that actually used the same magazines as a handgun I have. The first would be a Beretta in .40cal that was compatible with a CX4 Storm:

I'd also love a Kriss that is compatible with my .45 Glock model 21:
I'd still also love a Marlin Camp Carbine. It takes standard 1911 magazines for .45acp goodness.

All good. All on the list. All great for Zombies!

--I will probably go with the CX4 first!

Best Guns on TV

TV these days is swinging back to to more action and less political correctness.

I like it.

TV shows are again portraying guns and gun users as forces for good.

On of my current favorite shows is Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (T:TSCC)

It has excellent gun selections: Glocks, Remington 870's, MP5's, AR10's, AR15's, M1A's...

Stargate, Jericho, 24, Flashpoint are all good.

There is also a great show on the Discovery channel called Future Weapons that is really excellent.

Even computer games are now getting on track with real gun goodness. My son just got Call of Duty 4 for the Xbox 360.

--Good gear.

Godwin's Law and Gun Owners

"Godwin's Law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies) is an adage formulated by Mike Godwin in 1990. "

The law states: "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."

"Godwin's Law is often cited in online discussions as a caution against the use of inflammatory rhetoric or exaggerated comparisons, and is often conflated with fallacious arguments of the reductio ad Hitlerum form."

Often in the gun ownership debate gun control advocates rapidly descend to invoking Hitler or the Nazi's. To me this has always signaled winning the debate. The Hitler card is usually played when logic won't help, or worse, when logic is against them.

--I find it also very amusing when they invoke Hitler but most don't know that Hitler and the Nazi's were huge gun control advocates.

Uncle Ted Speaks the Truth

I often wonder what is truely the motivation of the people behind Gun Control. Because, they say, Gun Control is not about controlling guns it's about fighting crime. They are leaping to the solution before they analyze the situation.

--Sad Really...

Range Report

A buddy from high school was in town this weekend that I had not seen for a couple years. He brought with him a brand new Remington 870 that was still in the box.

We bought a case of clay pidgins and 10 boxes of 12 gauge.

At first I hit about 1 in 3 clays. By the end I was in the zone at 9 outta 10!

I was even double tapping them!

--Big fun
