I love Smith & Wesson even more...
...and this is why I have shot and collected Smiths for better than 30 years!

Frustrated because acceptance of guns was about to be mainstreamed
Networks pulled plug on American Guns and Top Shot immediately after Sandy Hook.

Frustrated because acceptance of guns was about to be mainstreamed
Having been in the firearms subculture for decades, I have a slightly different perspective as it's not a nationwide issue - never has been. Firearms only seemed to have gotten so "evil" in select states during the course of the mid-80s and carried into the 2000s. However, you can go to many States and firearms are no big deal - everyone has them (and those lucky Free State residents make fun of us who do not). I think the media/shows was helping lift the "bad rap" put on firearms in those select states like ours, at least a bit, just like American Chopper lifted the "evil" association of choppers. Now yes, all that slow-changing perspective is turned on ear, and the select states are back at it. The problem we face is that the select states also have the majority representation in the government due to population density... For instance, in Wyoming where honest reporting shows 60% of the population owns firearms(and it's likely higher since folks don't like other folks knowing their business) and there were more than 600,000 registered hunter this year, the population is a fraction of a person per acre and ends up with a small representation in government as a result... Conversely, in NJ where we legal, responsible guns owners are less than a quarter of the state population, and the population is many persons per acre, there's more anti-representation proportionately in the government...

Please review a letter for me
Never even saw it!

You Can Have One if You Have the Coin
Yeah, Hague's is just bad in every sense... I get a kick out of how they sell Sigs at 10% over MSRP... I can literally walk to Hague's without breaking a sweat, but I buy elsewhere and shoot elsewhere. Real shame, as I knew the original owner who built the place.

Oh, the super secret, hidden gun room! Excellent!

Any S&W Shield sightings?
Try Jim Flynn's. He had some when I was there, but they could have been spoken for and awaiting NICS as he was up to eyeballs in sold inventory (he was trying to figure out if the rifle I was looking for, and he had one, was sold - too bad, it was).

Here's hoping sanity will one day return to pricing in the firearms market... Sure hasn't for fuel. UGH!

You Can Have One if You Have the Coin
WoW! To think just a couple days before 12/14 I was in a Houston gun shop where they had WW15s by the crate and they were ticketed for $774.99. Never heard of Windham till I saw those ARs.

Encouraging letter from Senator Van Drew
Nice! Superior to the generic form letter I receive for each round of emails and snail mail I have sent the last several weeks!

Remington nylon 66 Mohawk
The Nylon 66 is one of the best! Before coming back to Jersey a few years ago, I regular did the Scout firearms instruction and used the Nylon 66 as part of it. I have dozen Nylons that have literally had tens of thousands of rounds through them! They'll feed and fire everything reliably, but they're real fun plinking with CCI Mini-Mags! Enjoy!

Another School Shooting, TX
Ratings, ratings, ratings...and "journalist" awards - and I use the term journalist as litely as possible.

Another School Shooting, TX
Local news has picked up the story and NBC10 added dramatic embellishment "gun fire at a Houston college left hundreds of students fleeing for their lives." UGH!

Another School Shooting, TX
Latest I heard from Houston co-workers is that an argument between two armed individuals. One armed and wounded in custody, another bystander wounded, other armed individual at-large.

Action Alert: BILL S2430 HEARING
Make sure your subject it for BOTH S2430 and it's copied counterpart A3690. They are submitted to different Committees! Thank you Cemetery for the alert. Seems the feed to the legislative schedule isn't updating... Here's what my wife and I wrote:

Our ranks are growing
Absolutely! Just look at the lack of inventory and the NICS statistics from the FBI! Personally, I have been absolutely swamped with requests for running Basic Pistol, Basic Rifle, and private classes, and I don't actively market at all because the 8-5 career has been much more than 8-5...

My day so far... I can see how people lose it!
At every turn for the past 25 years the country has worked hard to thwart Darwinism. For instance, kids coming out of high school today as valedictorians studied as seniors what I did in 9th grade... Yet they want the most amount of compensation for the least amount of work... It's no fun being a manager or a professor any more...

Gun checks soar 39 percent, set new record: FBI

Engraving
A buddy had Gournet do his trap gun. The craftsmanship and artistry are simply astounding considering it's all done with handwork. The shotgun was months of full-time carving, and as one should expect for the rare craft - of considerable cost. However, it's now an heirloom that will pass down to his son and hopefully further. Do show off any work you get done so we mere mortals can be in awe!
