High School Gun Safety Training Under Attack

ARIZONA STATE SENATE BILL-1271 Enacted 4/11/05, has recently come under attack by those folks that seem to know what’s “best” for the rest of us.

Guess these people are clueless that these types of electives were taught in school during a better time in America that recently prefers to be forgotten or just plainly ignored.

Tolleson highschool has an airgun range on campus that has been closed for quite a while. One of the highschools I attended had an ROTC elective in which students would march with demonstration rifles, which I doubt very seriously drill instructors would just hand over to students without any safety instructions, even if such rifles were rendered nonfunctional. ROTC students would even rappel down the sides of the tallest structures on campus, again safety would have to be taken into consideration.

MINNESOTA GOVERNOR SIGNS BILL RESTORING RIGHT-TO-CARRY

Last week, the Minnesota House of Representatives passed a bill re-enacting the “Personal Protection Act” that was struck down by the courts last month. The bill then went to pro-Second Amendment Governor Tim Pawlenty (R), who this week, signed the measure into law.

Head Geek in Charge takes Gold in Fighting!

As many of you may remember, approximately 9 Months ago I started training in Tae Kwon Do (WTF) at my employers fitness facilities. I have have need of exersize but have NEVER had a problem with being hefty (its more like I have a problem looking like a concentration camp victim)… and the Martial Arts is one of those things every American male wanted to do growing up watching Kung Fu and Bruce Lee flicks. Three-quarters of a year have passed now and I am less than a week away from testing for my Blue belt and have competed in my 3rd TLK tournament. Heres an update:

Traditional Karate League, May 14th, 2005 – Crowley Texas.
I wasn’t so nervous this tourney; I figured I could only do my best in the short 2 and a half minutes of actual action I might be involved in. I have plenty of video to capture in the meantime so don’t have much time to get nervous. My form was Palgwe El-Jang (Form #1). I performed it not to the best of my ability, but as good as I perhaps ever have under pressure. I took a 2nd place medal for that.

Fighting was another matter.

DREAD WEAPON SYSTEM: Devastating, Jam-Proof, and Silent

No heat, no recoil, no sound, no gunpowder, no flash — just 120,000 rounds per minute of pulverizing power. The next generation of weapons systems has arrived: the DREAD centrifuge-powered weapon system.

Maximum firepower: Design for the DREAD Weapon System.

Editor, DefenseReview.com

Imagine a gun with no recoil, no sound, no heat, no gunpowder, no visible firing signature (muzzle flash), and no stoppages or jams of any kind. Now imagine that this gun could fire .308 caliber and .50 caliber metal projectiles accurately at up to 8,000 fps (feet-per-second), featured an infinitely variable/programmable cyclic rate-of-fire (as high as 120,000 rounds-per-minute), and were capable of laying down a 360-degree field of fire. What if you could mount this weapon on any military Humvee (HMMWV), any helicopter/gunship, any armored personnel carrier (APC), and any other vehicle for which the technology were applicable?

Bad Choices and Why they Have the Darwin Awards

A Renton, Washington man tried to commit a robbery. This was probably his first attempt, as suggested by the fact that he had no previous record of violent crime, and by his terminally stupid choices as listed below:

1. The target was H&J Leather & Firearms…a gun shop.

2. The shop was full of customers, in a state where a substantial portion of the adult population is licensed to carry concealed handguns in public places.

3. To enter the shop, he had to step around a marked Police patrol car parked at the front door.

4. An officer in uniform was standing next to the counter, having coffee before reporting to duty.

Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a holdup and fired a few wild shots. The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, removing him from the gene pool. Several other customers also drew their guns, but didn’t fire. No one else was hurt.

Court axes FCC’s anti-piracy rules

BLOCKING TECHNOLOGY WON’T BE REQUIRED ON DIGITAL DEVICES

By Dawn C. Chmielewski

A federal appeals court Friday threw out controversial regulations that would require the coming generation of digital televisions, DVD recorders and personal computers to contain anti-piracy technology.

The “broadcast flag” rules, adopted in November 2003 by the Federal Communications Commission, were designed to address Hollywood’s fears that high-definition programming would fall prey to Internet piracy.

Consumer advocates and trade groups representing technology companies such as Microsoft and Intel, called that threat exaggerated and said it would restrict technological innovation. Critics also argued that the broadcast flag would have brought a new array of products under the FCC’s jurisdiction, including personal computers
