    Bang-10

    One of my favorite times of year is almost here: our annual gun test. In order to test the guns you need to shoot the guns. And in order to shoot the guns you need ammo.

     Lots and lots of ammo.

     This year I’ve ordered more than 3,500 rounds of centerfire rifle ammo. I don’t even want to guess at how many cases of shotgun shells I’m going to blow through.

     My boss is going to freak when he gets the bill.

    Call me old fashioned, but I enjoy shooting with iron sights, even on the most modern guns. So something like this new sight from Sigsauer is right up my alley. 

     

    Here are some of the details. 

     

    This new sight system provided four site stations for accurate engagement at varying distances including  CQB, 100m, 200m, and 300m, all with tool-less windage and elevation adjustment. Designed to work in conjunction with the hooded front sight, the Rotary Diopter Sight System attaches to the receiver’s M1913 rail. Made of durable steel construction the Rotary Diopter Sight System retrofits all existing SIG556 rifles. The front and rear sight co-witness with the SIG SAUER Mini Red Dot Sight and are optimized for M855 and M193 ammunition. The Rotary Diopter Sight System features 0.5 MOA (1/2”) click adjustments and 34” windage/25” elevation adjustment range at 100 meters. 

     

     

    Looks like it is well thought out and as soon as I get one to play with I’ll post a report.

    Mississippi lawmakers could soon be presented with a bill that amends the state's emergency powers law to allow gun owners to retain firearms in a crisis.

    "The government has no business trying to confiscate a law-abiding citizen's firearm or ammunition at any time, particularly in a natural disaster situation," said State Sen. Merle Flowers, the bill's sponsor.

    After Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans Police confiscated firearms, citing authority to do so under state emergency powers laws.

    U.S. Representatives Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) and Rick Boucher (D-Va.) introduced H.R. 197 , the "National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2009" on Jan. 23. 

    The bill would provide national recognition for valid state Right-to-Carry licensees, allowing any person with a valid carry permit or license issued by a state to carry a concealed firearm in any other state. Senator John Thune (R-S.D.) is expected to introduce the Senate companion bill soon.
