    Blind Concealed Carry And Blind Hunting

    North Dakota’s own Carey McWilliams does both:

    At 27, Carey McWilliams became the first totally blind person in the USA to acquire a concealed-carry permit. Despite weapons training during his ROTC years, McWilliams has faced opposition to his right to bear arms from both the media and public officials.

    Once fervently against hunting, McWilliams now views hunting as a way to connect to a system greater than himself and cope with PTSD brought on by a recent violent dog attack. In his downtime, he carries a loaded pistol to the grocery store.

    Blind-Concealed-Carry-GunThis guy passed NRA, ROTC proficiency so take that for what it’s worth.  Like he said, it’s not like there are problems with blind people doing mass shootings, or accidentally shooting others.

    Holy that dog attack messed him right up.

    Him and his wife seem like good people.  Good for him for jumping through the hoops to enjoy what the rest of us can.  As a person with eye sight the whole concept seems very strange to me, but he obviously enjoys the hobby/lifestyle, and has been safe up until this point so I fully support him.

    Gunfighter Short Comedy Narrated By Ron Swanson

    Ron-SwansonNot really what I was expecting when I hit play, but it’s really different / funny.  Worth watching.

    What a killer aspect ratio too… I was sold just on the strength of that alone.

    Steampunk AR-15

    Hey Steampunk nerds… heads up:

    steampunk-ar15

    Caleb from Gun Nuts has his tactical panties in a bunch about it…. I on the other hand think it’s pretty cool.  By no means would I ever want to own this think, but if I saw someone with it at the range I’d definitely want to talk to them and take another look.  Well… depends on how invested in the whole Steampunk life they are.  If the owner was wearing a copper monocole, wooden arm brace, steaming top hat with gears on it I’d probably just quietly snap a creepy smartphone pic then slink out.

    Bonus points for the retro loudener and gas pressure gauges.  That extra tank to adjust gas pressure is v crucial too.

    UPDATE: A thread about the build on AR15.com

    Thoughts?  Would operate with?

    Silencerco Quiet Riot Preview

    A classy precision rifle series match:

    Like-A-SirSilencerCo has a legit marketing department.  I like their style.  Come to think of it, a lot of suppressor manufacturers have good marketing.

    .300 Trident Fan Blade Ammo By G2 Research

    First ammo that fragments on impact, now some that fan blades:

    This is reminiscent of the COP KILLA BLACK TALONS haha.  

    I’ll hold my judgment until I see comparison tests with this with real numbers.  Cringing when I see it going through the watermelon isn’t enough to convince me of it’s effectiveness.

    Richard-Ryan-ENDO-CaliforniaThe signature Richard Ryan slow motion footage as always is on point.

    Richard is wearing the California No Right To Bear Arms shirt from ENDO Apparel.

    Thoughts?  Any of you buying these for self defense purposes?
