Xavier was unable to find a source for an old style “nubbin” Commander grip safety so he decided to make his own. he found an old “duckbill” grip safety,and he trimmed the tail so the tang was the width of a standard GI style part.Next, he removed the grip safety from an early Commander that had the profile he desired.

The narrow Nowlin hammer combined with the wider tang of the attenuated grip safety was enough to prevent hammer bite. A trip to the local motorcycle shop with five bucks a six pack of Bud yielded a bead blasting to the part so it will match the rest of the pistol.

Fear of a possible Obama Presidency have driven gun sales up.

Sales by firearm and ammunition manufacturers were up 9.7 percent in the first quarter of 2008, led by a 17.3 percent increase in ammunition sales, a 5 percent rise in handgun sales and a 6.7 percent increase in long gun sales, these statistics are based solely on US civilian sales and do not include sales to military, police, etc. This is happening because of the new & “improved” Clinton Gun Ban that Obama has promised to push for & sign if he gets elected.

Barack Obama continues to support this total ban-and wants to expand it. In 2004 Obama stated: “I am consistently on record and will continue to be on record as opposing concealed carry,” and said he would back federal legislation that would ban citizens from carrying weapons, except for law enforcement.

Dustin present us with his best and worst case Scenario if obama will get elected.

Do you carry your gun with you all the time? Do you sometimes leave your gun at home when you know you are going to a place that carrying a gun will be consider offensives or disrespectful?

Why am i asking you this? I read the post about the soccer mom who brought a gun the her daughter’s soccer game and had upset the parents that were present at the game.

Jones, who is also the county’s public defender, said he wasn’t certain if Hain was breaking the law by wearing the gun, so he did not ask her to remove it. However, he explained to her that its presence was making parents upset and asked her to view the game from the other side of the field, away from the sideline were the kids were standing. She complied but continued to wear her holstered weapon, he said.

Do you think it was inappropriate?

The election are only two months away and there is a lot to do.

I view the entire process of choosing the VP candidates on both sides as a process that serves the purposes of the NRA and all the people that fight for gun ownership rights. There are two clear sides and pro gun ownership rights and against.

The main fight as I see it is to target the people that are puting the fight for gun ownership rights lower on their priority scale. I’ve already heard gun owners saying that they would vote for Obama as they like him much better than McCain and hope that the price they’ll have to pay on the gun ownership issues won’t be too big.

If anything I persoanlly feel that the NRA shoud focus the effort on explaining to many of the gun owners that are no so active that they can’t really compromise here.

As gun ownership rights is one of the issues of the elections and not even in the top three most discussed ones this should be the focus of the efforts. At least to my humble opinion.

I know that many can’t really understand why McCain chose Palin to be his running mate but I guess they don’t get what she is supposed to represent.

I’ve read this post on the Bitch Girls and couldn’t stop laughing. I think many people don’t get it that Palin is not supposed to be a All American classical type of women that can sweep liberal votes. Yes she hunts and fish and she is a member of the NRA and she has a large family.

She won’t appeal to liberal votes even if she is the first woman candidate for her position. She appeals to many voters that were not assure of McCain commitment to promote gun ownership rights. She appeals to pro life supporter that can be sure of her support. She appeals to some middle class voters. She appeals to many more groups withing the electoral groups that McCain try to reach.

I guess that her presence in the race can make it harder for McCain to reach some of the undecided votes but it makes the decision much easier.
