USACARRY.COM 4 Days Ago Racking the Pistol Slide: Technique Not Strength by Benjamin Findley Several females and some males have complained over the years to me in my firearms classes that they cannot “rack the slide” on pistols, due to their weak hand strength and grip. Older males and females over the age of 60 have said they cannot use a pistol because of their age and related medical condition, like arthritis or joint tenderness. New shooters have demonstrated on the range that they are too gentle with a pistol and are afraid of slide “bite” to definitively and aggressively rack the slide as they should. Shooters cannot operate a semi-automatic pistol efficiently for loading, unloading, and clearing malfunctions without racking the slide properly and quickly. Racking the slide simply means manipulating and moving the slide back and forth on its guide rails. There are many ways and considerations for racking the slide. Competitors and plinkers alike have said and demonstrated ...

COLORADOCONNECTION.COM 1 Day Ago El Paso County Sheriff breaks silence about gun control El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa is breaking his silence about his claim that senate Democrats threatened the salaries of sheriffs across the state because of their stance on gun control. Click here to read email exchanges about the salary proposal. An Injustice Against Our Citizens Monday, March 4, 2013, was unlike any day I’ve experienced in my 12 years testifying at the Colorado State Capitol. During my tenure, I’ve had numerous opportunities to participate in legislative processes from draft proposal to signature of a bill making it law. I’ve witnessed many hearings and observed citizens, law enforcement, and special interest groups share opinions on a variety of proposed laws. I’ve witnessed very controversial bills set in a process to allow full access from supporters, opponents, and citizens to be heard by their legislators. On numerous occasions, bills similar in nature were se...

THETRUTHABOUTGUNS.COM 9 Hours Ago BREAKING: Injunction Denied, NY Gun Control Law Stands. For now. by Dan Zimmerman Posted onMarch 13, 2013byDan Zimmerman “A state Supreme Court judge on Wednesday denied a motion for a preliminary injunction of the state’s new gun control law.” That’s the word from democratandchronicle.com. The suit argued that Governor Cuomo’s “message of necessity” ruse to rush civilian disarmament legislation through the New York Assembly in twenty minutes was unconstitutional. Judge Thomas McNamara claimed that he was constrained by precedent preventing judicial interference with a message of necessity. The Supreme Court, however, is not the highest court in New York state. That distinction is held by the Court of Appeals. Lead plaintiff Bob Schulz vowed to take the case at least that far. NOTE: This is a preliminary injunction for the class action suit we discussed yesterday, and NOT the Tresmond case which has yet to be heard. This isn’t over yet. This ...

EXAMINER.COM 5 Hours Ago Doctor refutes research about gun laws, deaths by Dave Workman The head of a pro-gun-rights physicians’ organization today blasted the findings of a research project published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that intimated states with more gun laws have a lower rate of firearm fatalities. The JAMA report was first publicized by NBC News, which also has been blistered by a National Rifle Association official for an unrelated story yesterday that suggested the NRA was ready to make a behind-the-scenes deal on a national universal background check bill. =============================== BULLETIN:Breitbart is reporting that Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn wants the state attorney general to appeal a ruling by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals that found the state’s ban on concealed carry to be unconstitutional. That appeal would be to the U.S. Supreme Court. The case, Moore v. Madigan, was filed by the Second Amendment Foundation. A ...

EXAMINER.COM 6 Hours Ago Government scourge of gun owners begins by Anthony Martin Citizens and some media outlets are reporting that the government scourge of gun owners, which gun rights activists have warned about, has begun. In the state of California there have been widespread reports of illegal searches and seizures of firearms based upon nothing more than the fact that family members of gun owners have received psychiatric treatment. In the days after the Newtown shootings in Connecticut, the president of the United States, Democrats in Congress and their elitist Republican enablers, and state and local governments indicated their intention to pass stringent gun control laws, including gun bans, limits on ammunition purchases, limits on how many rounds a magazine can hold, and a direct attack on the right of citizens to sell their own private property in citizen-to-citizen gun sales. Conservatives, libertarians and other gun rights activists have warned that the force...

TOWNHALL.COM 3 Hours Ago Youth Baseball Team Raffling AR-15 Rifle by Todd Starnes A youth baseball league in central Illinois is in desperate need of cash – so they’ve decided to auction off an AR-15 assault rifle. Last year the Atwood-Hammond baseball league tried to raffle off half a hog. But they only raised $10 – and barely had enough to pay the local butcher. So this year a local gun shop provided the league with a Rock River Arms Tactical Operator Two – and the response has been massive. “My phone has been ringing off the hook,” said Charidy Bucher, co-owner of the Atwood Armory shop. “The response has been tremendous.” Bucher told me her phone has been ringing since 4:30 a.m. “People from out of state have been calling,” she said. She said the winner of the rifle will also receive 260 rounds of ammunition. “Ammo is just as hard to get as the firearms these days, unfortunately,” she said. The towns of Atwood and Hammond are about 25 miles southwest of Champai...

GLENN BECK CURRENT EVENTS 35 Minutes Ago Do Democrats want to keep African Americans ‘unarmed, uneducated and dependent’? Wednesday, Mar 13, 2013 at 9:20 PM EDT Tonight on the Glenn Beck Program, Glenn welcomed three guests who were armed with the facts about gun rights and the history of the Second Amendment. Star Parker, founder of the Coalition on Urban Renewal and Education, actor Joseph Phillips, and writer and activist Kira Ayn Davis all discussed the impact of gun control legislation on the African American community. From the very beginning, the three panelists all focused on how gun control has been used as a tool to keep the African American community out of power. “The Democrats have never changed their strategy. They want people unarmed, uneducated and dependent on whoever that master is. Whether it’s the master that time in slavery or the master that keeps them enslaved to the welfare state,” Star Parker told Glenn. Parker explained that gun legislation was a ...

Wednesday, March 13th  Pope Francis I Today the Catholic Church saw the election of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio as Pope Francis I. Pope John Paul II showed how the impact that a Pope can have on world events. Along with Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, we had Pope John Paul II come upon our world at the right time. With the world changing as fast as it is, it’s critical that we have a Pope who is a bit more media savvy and who is willing to address the many challenges of our society. The Catholic Church is under immense pressure to address these various issues and our thoughts and prayers are with Pope...
