A 69-year-old grandmother, who sleeps with a pistol under her pillow, displayed her marksmanship skills at 3 a.m. this week when an intruder broke into her home and invaded her bedroom.

The bad guy took one to the stomach (can you say center mass?) and the story warns "...intruders will think twice before messing with her again"

Washington Times on attempted lead ammo ban

Posted by GuySagi, Aug 31 2010, 12:49 PM

An editorial that appeared in Friday's Washington Times that addresses the Center for Biological Perversity's attempt at banning all lead ammuntion has some information of interest to all shooters.

For example: "The claim that 'lead based ammunition is hazardous is in error,' EPA senior science adviser William Marcus wrote in a Dec. 25, 1999, letter. Lead on the soil surface 'does not break down,' he explained. It 'does not pose an environmental or human hazard. ... In water lead acts much the same as in soil.'"

And: "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted blood tests on 736 hunters and reported in 2008 that lead ammunition produced very small changes in lead exposure, with concentrations well below CDC benchmark levels of concern."

Sam Adams' gun proposal

Posted by GuySagi, Aug 30 2010, 07:23 PM

Portland Oregon's Mayor has brewed an anti-gun proposal he thinks will cure what's aleing the city.

It would impose an earlier curfew for youths convicted of gun crimes. Probation and jail apparently leave a bitter aftertaste with Portland's voters.

Today's fermenting youth shouldn't gain access to a gun, so the proposal would make it illegal to barley secure firearms.

Stolen guns, including that family heirloom Lager dad brought back from Budweis after World War II, must be reported to authorities. Here in Virginia we call it a police report.

The list goes on, pro-gun activists are hopping mad and a variety of pubs are already writing about the mayor's malt. It's enough to give full-bodied porters a pilsner blush and drive me to drinkin' (and I don't own a hot rod Lincoln).

It must be happy hour somewhere.

NAACP makes strong self-defense statement

Posted by GuySagi, Aug 30 2010, 02:02 PM

In an effort to secure a retrial for a Georgia man who was sentenced to life in prison for shooting and killing a box cutter-weilding trespasser who kept advancing on the homeowner and his son (and even ignored a warning shot), NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous said, "As American citizens we have the right to defend our homes, our lives and our families without the threat of excessive jail sentences."

Here's the press release.
