Conneticut Shooting : More innocents die in a " gun free zone "

Yesterday a disgruntled worker in Manchester, Connecticut opened fire at his place of employment killing 8 and then himself.   A very sad incident indeed but not unique, Americans are no strangers to mass shootings in the last decade they have happened almost every year.   What I find very strange is that we don't seem to have any kind of plan to deal with these mass shootings and it's almost always too late when the police get there.   This guy was able to kill 8 people before the cops closed in and he took his own life. Had there been a sheepdog ( CCW permit holder with a gun ) he may have been stopped a lot quicker but we can't bring our guns to work, as with school, the post office etc because they are deemed gun free zones.   Perps know this and they always seem to carry out their rampages in places where it is more likely someone will not have a gun.   This is a flawed system that needs to be changed. Gun Free seems to mean " Killing Spree ".   The killer had said that he was being racially harassed at the job and it was not addressed. Whether this is true or not thats no reason to go murder your co-workers. He could have taken other measures. But he was probably mentally unstable and this pushed him over the edge.   If the racial harassment claims are proven and it was not addressed then the employer and union may have a sand storm coming their way.   My heart goes out to the family of victims and I hope that some how we can figure out a way to stop these shooting sprees. They are happening way too often.

Wilson Combat : Now makes Ammo ?

Yup ! Wilson combat is now making ammo ! Known for their high end 1911 pistols, the good folks at Wilson Combat decided to make their own "match grade" quality ammo to compliment the performance of their "match grade " guns.

We all win on this even if you can't afford a Wilson Combat gun now you can buy some of their ammo.

The slogan for their ammo is " Peerless Performance Ammunition " If the ammo works like their guns I would tend to agree with slogan.

Pocket Pistols: Whats your Flavor ?

With the Ruger LCP taking the role as highest selling pistol for 2009. All the gun makers are coming out with pocket pistols chambered for the .380 acp round. The top seller is still the Ruger LCP with over 1 million LCP pistols sold, but hot on it's heels is the Taurus TCP. Taurus made a nice move by offering the TCP in Pink to target female customers (or men who like pink guns ) and local gun shops have told me they can't sell enough of them. Ruger now also has decided to add more color to the LCP and is now offering them in OD Green.

new gun anxiety disorder...

here just waiting on getting my new Taurus TCP....blah blah...

Gun Movie: SALT sucks ass !!

Just got back from seeing SALT staring Angelina Jolie with my wife....this movie sucks...confusing plot and limp on the gun play. Don't waist your time. Wait for it to get to Netflix which by what i saw won't be too long.

Picked up a Taurus TCP .380

-->
Got it from the good guys over at BudsGunShop.com . $264 shipped and I can't wait shoot it. I have heard a lot of good things about the TCP and unlike other Taurus Guns it's made in America.

I looked at the Ruger LCP, Kel-TEC 3AT and the Taurus TCP had the best features of the bunch for a pocket pistol.

Things like the Slide locks back on the last round, Biggest Trigger Guard and coming with 2 mags all played into my decision.

Soon as I get it I will report on how this little pocket gun shoots.

I ordered some cool accessories too for it from the guys over at Dirt Cheap Gun Parts they have a nice little section of the site for the Taurus TCP and I picked up a cool holster for it and will go back later to get the Crimson Trace laser for the Taurus TCP.
