A Big Plus on the Ruger LCR .357

So here’s something I never thought about when I reviewed my LCRs

Pocket Power

Here are my go-to defensive pocket guns. My S&W642 which is my first carry gun, My Kahr PM45, my favorite pocket-carry gun, and my New .357 Magnum LCR. Also I’ll add my Beretta 21A occasionally goes into my pocket as a backup or when I absolutely cannot pocket one of those other 3.

In the comparison I made I noted the PM45 was better in almost every way but weight and power, and both in a small sense of either. Still this morning I was heading out to run some errands. I put on my standard summer-carry attire, and on a whim dropped the .357 Magnum into my pocket as well. Now I’m wearing a pair of cargo shorts that fit well, but also have an elastic waistband. This means that even the light PM45 will tug my shorts a bit. The few ounces I shaved off with the .357 REALLY help. Also the diminished capacity of the 5 shot revolver isn’t an issue as I will only be falling back on this gun if my primary runs dry or malfunctions. Still if I can ONLY carry in the pocket, the Kahr is the better choice, further with two 7-round magazines for reloads. But this is a REALLY nice backup gun.

“Gun Death” Toddler

A sick one from China, a eutopia of gun control.

A two-year-old Chinese girl who was thrown to the ground by a man in his 40s during a row with her mother over parking has died, state media reported Saturday.

Sick, huh? But not to “Progressives” who think that only “Gun Death” is worthy of concern!

Sci Show on Gun Control

I was just pointed to a Sci-Show I missed when I was out of town last year:

First up I’ll note that Hank’s drank the “Climate Change” Kool-Aid (or whatever name the Cult is calling it now), so he’s shown to be swayed by junk science outside of his comfort zone.

That being said he leads with the studies on the AWB and Concealed carry that show inconclusive results.

If you’re an Authoritarian, “Inconclusive” means the government should keep that power.

If You’re a “Progressive” then an “Inconclusive” law is progress and should be embraced!

If you’re a Conservative then an “Inconclusive” law was a mistake and should be repealed

If you’re a libertarian then even CONCLUSIVE laws with a low impact on society should be repealed!

I think Hank leans towards the top two, while I lean well towards the bottom. Honestly we’re talking opinion on all of those. I don’t agree with him, but at this juncture I’m man enough to admit we can BOTH be wrong.

Then he gets roped hard. He essentially cites the Branas study, and a Joyce extension of Kellerman, both we recently discussed here. These studies were intentionally misleading by conflating lawful gun owners with criminals in illegal possession of guns engaging in criminal acts.

I certainly suspect that Hank leans to the authoritarian and “progressive”, but overall I think he was simply mislead by the creative writings by the cult of anti-rights.

“Gun Death” Train Suicide Attempt

“Progressives” love trains as much as they love citing “Gun Death”. The two of them combine to their ignorance of this event:

The driver of the train that derailed in northern Spain killing 78 people said in the aftermath of the accident that he “wanted to die”, it has been reported.

78 people died, and the suicidal driver lived. 78 people!!! Even in the Norway Mass Shooting killed 77 (with only 67 of those being “Gun Death”), and the biggest Mass shooting in the US was Virginia Tech killing 32. This was not a terror attack or other acts of war, and it was instigated by a lone individual, yet they only care about those dead from guns!

Their silence shows the temperature of their blood.

Ice Cold!

Great video on the history of the Laboratory Rat.

I used to work heavily with Wistar rats. They’re pretty awesome animals.

Better Late Than Never

When writing last night’s post I forgot I had saved these screen captures. I was going to post them when the George Zimmerman verdict was released. Better late than never:

Joke

Zimmerman Defense

I think Jason missed his calling as a race horse handicapper!

Yep, anti-gun activists. Against the man who had to defend his life to keep his brains inside his head. For an “Innocent Teen” on drugs beating a stranger’s head into the pavement!

Gotta rub their noses in it!

This Latest “Mass Shooting”

So the antis are all prattling about a shooting in Georgia. I was amazed I hadn’t heard about it.

The suspect in a Georgia elementary school shooting who fired six rounds in a front office before surrendering to police had nearly 500 rounds of ammunition with him, authorities said Wednesday….On Wednesday, DeKalb County lead investigator Ray Davis and police chief Cedric Alexander outlined what could have been a massacre for the school, but ended with nobody hurt. The suspect surrendered peacefully to police after exchanging gunfire with them.

Oh, that’s why, because Guns save lives and this guy couldn’t even kill HIMSELF. But OMG he had almost 500 rounds in Magazines! Which is probably why he ended it so fast. 500 rounds of 7.62×39 in steel AK Mags is a heavy ruck!

Also the fallacy of the “Gun Free Zone” is further expanded here:

despite the school security system that requires visitors to be buzzed in. He may have followed behind someone who was authorized to be in the building, but never got past the front office.

Yep a man holding a RIFLE walked right through the magical “high tech” security system into the unguarded underbelly which is the storage location for our children.

Oh and Did I mention this event ended without loss of life because POLICE arrived in time to SHOOT at him.

So take-aways are A) Yet another event at a “Gun Free Zone”
B) Blood dancers want blood so bad they pretend its places where it isn’t
C) Guns save lives.

Oh and I dove into my email thinking this story was there and found this one from Les:

Savannah State University officials say a public safety officer’s gun accidentally discharged on the campus, sending a bullet crashing through two windows before it came to a stop in a classroom wall.

University spokeswoman Loretta Heyward tells The Savannah Morning News (http://bit.ly/16M8WOY) that the officer’s weapon misfired during either a training exercise or a demonstration Wednesday morning. There was a class in session in the room where the bullet came to rest, but no one was hurt.

Oddly there are a LOT more CCW holders than cops, yet you here more of the cops doing this. “Highly trained”.

Moms Demand a Lower Bar

Remember this?

Elliot Fineman “Organized” a boycott of Starbucks, demanding Starbucks embraces an anti-gun policy. Notice in the interview Elliot makes claims that the anti-rights cult is so big that they will do severe damage to both the Starbucks corporation, and their shareholders. What was most amusing about it was how desperate and ineffective it was. It wasn’t legislation, and it wasn’t legal policy. So if Starbucks posted “No Guns” signs it A) Would only effect people carrying guns actually IN Starbucks stores, and B) Would only LEGALLY effect people in states where binding signage was law.

Then they “Implemented” the “Boycott”….well Miguel has the laughable results.

So a national boycott that would have had little impact on lawful gun owners failed miserably. Next course of action? DO IT AGAIN!!! But don’t make it so HARD!

Moms Against Starbucks

So a national boycott that allegedly was indefinite until their demands were met did nothing, but hey just ONE SATURDAY, That’ll work!

They keep claiming they have a “Majority” and such actions will somehow be noticed. Yet National Legislation has been bust, and even their rallies are tiny:

Sad Rally MN 8-13

They’ll just keep lowering the bar until they can claim victory!!
