Hello everybody out there in blogville! I figured I’d write a comment for gun owners with some sensible information in it,,Mabey you’ve herd it before and mabey you haven’t..When you own guns of any kind.. Rule #1.. is know what you have..what I’m trying to say is this,,With the crazyness going on in this world with home breakins happining  every day and guns being a target of criminals theives ,,It’s a good idea to take an hour of your time to write down on a peice of paper the following::Make+ Model,,serial number and any special features the firearm has,,Then put this paper in a safe place so if your one of the targets of criminal breakins you have some good information to supply the law enforcement officers and insurance companys with!!This is especially true when someone has passed away and theres guns involved they owned ,,many times when a husband or father passes away who was a avid hunter or collector a wife or relitive may not even know what he had ..,,there just guns to them,, most of the time they may never have even seen the guns but know they had them!You may be surprised how many people own guns but don’t have any records or information about what they actually own because they never recorded the serial numbers of there guns ..Sure You may know your gun but without some kinda information on it how do you prove it’s yours from  someone elses. ,,there were many many guns made exactly the same and the chances of just stumbling across the one that was stolen from you are almost impossible without some kinda information on yours..Guns bought  before the crime bill of 68 didn’t have a manditory regrestration of serial numbers and when you think of the amount of  firearms made before 1968 it’s mind boggling,,When or if it happens to you ..you look kinda stupid trying to explain that you lost your “hunting gun”or it was your “dads gun” but don’t know what the serial numbers or model numbers were … ,,yea ya know the makes MOST of the time,,, but most firearm companys made alot of rifles ,pistol ,,or shotguns and finding your “one in nice shape “is a tough job without a detailed list with serial numbers and model numbers,,and special features ..so take a word for the wise and record what ya have ,,it won’t take all day to do in most cases and just may help when it comes to getting your property back IF it gets found !!Now alot of people proably will read this and say I know that info.. but I would imagine there are way more people who don’t ..and if that day comes when you go home and find your weapons stolen then you will wish you had something more than just a “nice remington rifle or a “old colt pistol” to give insurance companys or law enforcement  personel while your trying to explain about not knowing other info on them!!,,just some food for thought  for ALL GUN OWNERS!

I don’t DIY my own ammo, but I know that a lot of you do. Like any other type of minuscule tasks the agronomy of this can make or break your ability to do it, as well as the enjoyment involved.

I found this great video on Anthroblogogy. Dirtcrashr, the auther of anthroblogogy makes his own cases, and has run into all kinds of difficulties that he expands on in this post. He recons that this video fixes them all. So if you are into making your own  ammo - hop over and read.

I am sure I am not alone in my thoughts that this is shocking. The Armed School Teacher said

Not good . . . I hate Nazis. You have to figure this one isn’t too bright, even if you set aside his irrational Jewz-hating, because if he’d wanted to figure out the best way to build sympathy for Jews in America and bury his own movement in an even deeper hole than before, he couldn’t have come up with many better ways. Doing what Buford Furrow did would be one.

I’ve got to agree with him 100%. There is something wrong with gun laws if a man like that can get his hands on a weapon, were as upstanding citizens can’t.

What do you do when the power suddenly fails and you find yourself in the pitch dark with a feeling that not all is well?

Due to the recent surge of violent home invasions that include the invaders cutting the power and the phone lines before they invade, the answer to this question should be rethought - and looking out the window to see if the neighbours have lights or not, or going to check the mains might no longer be the smartest and most called for move.

Expert witness says

The instant the lights go out, TASK ONE is to get hold of a firearm. This will be done before looking out the window to see if the power outage is neighborhood-wide, or much more limited. Second, firearm, flashlight, and cell phone are taken to our “keep” area. Use of lights will be kept to a minimum. We keep a careful listening watch for what the dogs do. THEN, we’ll check to see if this is happenstance or evil design.

Taking into consideration that the invaders will have the element of surprise on their side, it is probably wise at least to keep your cell on you at all times, and to make sure that there is a flash light next to your fire arm.

Another precaution that can be taken is haveing emergency lights up (the kind that turn on the moment the power fails) so that the invaders will only have the cover of partial darkness, instead of the freedom to move in the cover of pitch black.

Have you heard of this case?

WINTER HAVEN, FL — Police say a woman shot her husband multiple times after he threatened to kill family members.

On Tuesday at about 4 a.m., Winter Haven police responded to the home of Troy and Dawn Christoff located at 1121 7th Street SW following a report of a shooting.

Officers found 34-year-old Troy Christoff suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He had been shot with a 9mm handgun. He was airlifted to Lakeland Regional Medical Center for treatment. The shooter was identified as his wife, 35-year-old Dawn Christoff.

Witness statements and further investigation showed that Troy Christoff intended to shoot several members of his family. Before the shooting, he armed himself with a handgun and began to load the weapon, stating which member of his family each bullet was intended for.

When the handgun was loaded he raised the weapon and pointed it at his wife, who had armed herself with another handgun. She fired multiple shots at her husband, striking him several times.

Troy Christoff was charged with five counts of Attempted First Degree Murder with a Firearm. The shooting is considered as self defense.

Its good that she had a gun, though I can’t help wondering how good it is that he had a gun, and if the whole situation couldn’t have been avoided.
