Emily Miller on Ammo

Good read. It's amazing she is forced to hide reporting in the opinion section.

She points to the PSH about the government ordering hollow points. My objection to the whole issue is, why does every tin pot government agency need to be armed, with police powers? I could care less WHAT they will shoot me with, and more to do with the fact that they CAN.

Though hollow points have been around a little longer than the 20 years she alludes to in the article, she may also be basing this off of Winchester's own bullet points from her tour this week. Modern hollow points have come a long way in the past 20 years; that may be the point she was trying to make. She does have to get her point across without having to do a 2000 word essay on the history of the brass cartridge. And she has to do it in a town populated by PSH artists who love to get things banned because it only increases their power.

I want that job

Being the security guard at the National Weather Service. They are ordering him (or her) 46000 rounds of 40 S&W and 500 paper targets. That article has some serious PSH over hollow points, to the point of cribbage from the Brandy Bunch. The only question I have is, why does the NWS need ammo? But, then I realized they must have a security guard force, and actually want them to hit something once in a blue hockeystick graph moon. It's not like ordering a bunch of short barrel shotguns for the Department of Education. Now, if they they were asking for 4 million rounds of .50 cal linked for a Ma Deuce, I'd be worried....


There is a little blurb about the Army ordering riot gear. Now that might fire up the old tin foil hat.

More PSH over carry at a theater

In Connecticut, this time.

The mayor is quoted: 'just because it is legal, doesn't make it right.' Going to guess he part of Bloomberg's new group, Mayors Against Legal Guns (and large sodas).

For the lawyer's part, OPSEC might need to be practiced a little better.
