NRA-ILA :: Still waiting for those wild west shootouts

NRA-ILA :: Still waiting for those wild west shootouts

In the early 1990’s, when the push began in most states to allow citizens to be allowed to carry concealed weapons, those who opposed were fearful of a new wave of bloodbaths in the streets if this were to happen. To nearly everyone’s surprise, except for those who were behind the effort, and with only two states still not offering any sort of private concealed carry, violent crime statistics per capita have slowed and in some cases reversed. Proponents of CCW point to the increase in concealed carry as the major reas

Ten Worst Passwords on the Web : Discovery News

There’s a great piece on Gizmag today about passwords. They reference a data security study completed by Imperva, which analyzed data that was hacked last December on the Web site Rockyou.com.  Of the 32 million passwords involved, the ten most common are listed below. If you use any of these, change your password immediately.

Veterans!

First, Happy Birthday to all the Marines out there. Yes, I know the Marine Corps birthday was yesterday, but I didn’t get a chance to post here yesterday.

Second, THANK YOU to all my fellow veteran’s that have made personal sacrifices, and especially the ultimate sacrifice, in doing the right thing by serving your country. No words can express the gratitude that you deserve, but know that the (real) American people understand what you have given for all of us.

Semper Fi!

The USA is suffering the most severe ammunition famine in living memory. Gun fanciers, fearing a Democrat crackdown on every American’s right to pack heat, are clearing shelves at ammo shops and hoarding cartridges.

AP reports that the Remington Arms Company’s factory in North Carolina is now working around the clock trying to supply insatiable demand for rifle, pistol and shotgun cartridges.

“We’ve had to add a fourth shift and go 24-7,” Remington spokesman Al Russo told the news wire. “It’s a phenomenon that I have not seen … (hit link for more)

California Gun Bills upcoming….that need to be stopped. AB962 and SB585

I’ve dropped a short post on the forum here:http://thepreparednesspodcast.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=439, that goes into some details and gives some links for information on these two bills, AB962 (Ban on Internet Ammunition Sales) and SB585 (Ban on Cow Palace Gun Show).

If you live in California, and are a gun owner, future gun owner, or have any interest in personal freedom – please join us in fighting these two bills. Both of them have passed and are currently sitting on the Governor’s desk, waiting for either a signature or a veto. We need to get as many citizens as possible to contact Governor Schwarzenegger’s office and give him their thoughts (politely please…). We have a chance to stop both of these bills, if we can get enough support.

For those of you that aren’t in California, in a way I apologize for using this space for a state-specific post – but in another way everyone needs to know about this. As has been proven many times in the past, if one state gets away with something, other states usually follow. So this could be happening in your state in a year, five years, or……
