Not good , not good.
Now I may have my tin foil hat on a little tight but I wonder if the police chief is anti gun, and this was a plot to get rid of stand your ground. I remember reading a story a while ago about a judge who did not like the law and said that criminals would be able to use the law to not get a way with crimes. a few month later there was a a shooting between two criminals and a stray bullet hit and killed some one (i believe kid) there was an uproar because the criminal was found not guilty because he was acting in self defense. The judge of that case, the same judge who said stuff like that was going to happen. He made his own prophacy come true by twisting a law around in order to spark out rage in the general public.

How young is too young
Fist let me make clear I do not have any kids (I use to work with kids but I know that having kids is very differnt) so I can not talk from experience, but In my opinion you may want to consider buying a BB gun for your kids. With a BB gun you can teach all the safety and basics of using a firearm. They are very cheep to both buy and shoot, So if after a little while your kids lose interest, your not out of alot of money. If you have a yard you can set up a little shooting gallery with a bunch of different targets to hit (set up a couple of ledges and place army men, match box cars, plastic cups, ect...) which will help keep and build interest in shooting, and allowing them to practice more often. Overall I believe it gives you an easy and safe way to determine if your kids are ready for real fire arms.

If you were me, what is the best bolt action you would buy?
You need to get one of these an unmolested M1898 Krag-Jørgensen rifle in great condition is a fantastic shooter. The one I have has an extremly smooth bolt, very little recoil, and very accurate. Its my favorite firearm to shoot that I own and only cost $800.

8 Surprising Anti-Gun Celebrities
None of them really surprised me for the following reasons 8. Shania Twain- no clue who she is 7. Kevin Bacon- no clue who he is 6. Matt Damon- very liberal/obvious 5. Mark Wahlberg- no clue who he is 4. Danny DeVito- only know him for it's always sunny, being Hollywood=liberal in general I would have guessed he was anti gun if asked 3. Sean Connery- British 2. Arnold Schwarzenegger- was governor of California 1. Sylvester Stallone- thought everyone knew he is extremely anti gun Is he actually pro gun or just not anti gun? (Firefly was awsome, it should have never been cancelled ) I would like to know if Harrison Ford is pro or anti gun. also I know Bruce Willis is Pro Gun

US LAW TEST
26 right. I am kicking myself for the assassination one. I was positive there was more than the two big ones, but since I could not remember any others for the life of me, I just defaulted to two.

Gun Owner Calls Help Hotline, Get's Raided by SWAT
That bill is just insult to injury. Just the other day I read a story about a woman who was having trouble with her credit card company (the service person was being rude or something) she made the statement to the guy that his treatment of customers may cause other people to commit suicide. an hour later police showed up and forcibly took her to a medical center where she had to stay for a few days for observation before they decided she was not suicidal and sent her home with a bill for the "care". Now in that case I can understand why the person at the credit card company would report it. But after that point it became ridiculous. There should be no bill at minimum as if the person is wrongly accused of being suicidal making them pay is just plain wrong, and if they are suicidal then handing them a couple thousand dollar bill is not going to help and could make it worst. The only time it would be acceptable for a bill would be if a person was not suicidal but said he was just to get attention for themselves or something like that. Also I agree he should be suing for more than that.

Biggest (Firearm related) Pet-Peeve?
The thing I can not stand is "Assault Weapons". It's not even so much the term it's self or the definition (granted I think both are extreamly stupid they just don't annoy me so much), but the mis-uses of the term "Assault Weapon". The two big ones being people calling "Assault Weapons" "Assault Rifles"(Also have herd "Assault Pistols" and Assault Shotguns" used before) and talking about "Assault Weapons" as if they are machine guns or "Assault Rifle" (You know the " 'Assault Weapons' should be illegal. There is no need for any one to have a fully automatic weapon" or "people don't need an AK-47"). The main reason being is those two thing tend to feed off each other and spread misinformation to the public who don't know any better. I think that probably hurts our cause more than any thing else in recent times.

What the hell is the deal with "Zombie Survival"
I think a big draw of zombies is they are accessible, think of all the other monsters out there. Classic vampires, you would most likely just get killed unless you get very lucky and or are in excellent shape to fight them in hand to hand combat and even than they are probably much stronger than you. Classic werewolfs, same thing though with the added pain of needing silver weapons to kill. Also they tend to be more solitary creatures who ambush pray. If they were real most likely you would never even see them before thay killed you, so not much fun in imaging a scenario with them. Aliens are usually depicted as being super advanced and being basicly invulnerable with the only weeknes being somthing that the average person could not do any way. Zombies on the other hand are easy to kill just destroy the brain, massive numbers, slaw and weak. Any one can stand a chance against a zombie and they can easily picture them selfs fighting of hordes of zombies. Gun owners esspecially like them as they are perfectly equiped to battle 100's of slow moving easy targets, so its just plain fun.

(stupid) question about buying locally
I once had a similar experiance like that back in 2009. I went into a store and ordered an H&R Topper as they did not have one in stock, so they would have to get it from a distributor. They wanted a down payment for it (I think 10% but can not remember for sure) but I decided to pay in full as it's a cheep gun and I would not have worry about it later. I was told they would give me a call when it came in. I left under the assumption that thier distributor just had to send one out to them. After a week went by I called them up they just told me it was not in yet. After two weeks I called back and was told that the gun was on back order with all their distributors and it was going to be at least 4-5 months before it came in(this was during the large surge in gun buying after Obama was elected) At the four month mark I called back and was just told no it was not in yet. At the five month mark I went into the store to check and was told it was not in yet, though they did give me the option to cancel my order and get a refund. I decided that I waited this long probably would not be a much longer wait. They assured me they would give me once it got in. I made a fw more occational phone calls with the answer always bing the same that the gun was not in yet (big part of the problem for me was that the people that worked the gun section finnished at 5 so I only was talking to the people from other sections as that worked until store closing. The could not really check on any thing other than see if the gun was in the back). I pretty much got to the point where I'd forgotten I even ordered the shotgun. It was about the 8 month mark that I finaly went back into the store. That time when I went in the sales rep that had originally put in the order was there. He remembered me putting in the order and was shocked that it had not come in yet. He went and checked on the order and it turns out the order apparently was lost as there was no record of it. He called the distributor right there in front of me (Accaurding to him his boss was the only person that was suppose to put in the order with the distributor, but he was not there that day and that I had waited far to long already) they had some in stock, and had it shipped the next day. Got the call two days later it was in, and finally took possession. Never did buy another gun from them, and I learned a few valuable lessons for the future.

NJ ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER AMMO BAN & MORE!
I listened to the audio recording to the meeting, was it just me or did the one woman who said she would like to support the bill but would not because it gave to much power to the AG sound like she had no understanding of AP rounds at all. To me it sounded as though she was under the impression that it takes a special gun to fire AP rounds. This kind of raises a question in my mind, in a case like this would it be better to inform her or leave her ignorant. If she was informed we would hope she would make beter decisions when it comes to firearms by not supporting bill such as these. at the same time, If she just hates guns period she might have decided to support such bills as than she would know that AP rounds can exist for an firearm and it may scare her much more than the extra power provided to the AG
