The Downrange Girl

With a name like The Downrange Girl, you know that this lady is going to like firearms. Her Facebook page is decidedly pro-2A but from a female perspective. But don’t let that pigeonhole her. She recently posted a comment about Moleskin and shooting their notebooks as part of a dissatisfaction campaign on their stance against gun owners.

Moleskine
“Dear Moleskine, I like your notebooks but not your political statement. Here is mine.”
Sincerely, The Downrange Girl

She’s also done a run of Pink Glock magplates with TangoDown and LAV so I expect to see a lot more from her in the future.

MagPul Announces Boulder Airlift

Sunday, March 3rd, 2013

The other day we told you that MagPul wants to get as many PMAGs in the hands of law abiding Coloradans as possible before a ban. Here is their plan.

20130303-071231.jpg

Magpul is proud to announce the “Boulder Airlift”, our program to make sure that responsible Colorado citizens have the opportunity to own standard capacity PMAGs prior to the potential implementation of pending legislation that would infringe on their Second Amendment Rights. The program will be open to all responsible CO residents, (with both billing and shipping addresses inside CO) and provide access to a limited quantity of PMAGs. Remember to contact members of the Senate and the Governor prior to ordering and urge them to oppose HB 1224.

Full details at http://www.magpul.com/colorado

Similar to the Berlin Airlift, the Boulder Airlift will bring much needed supplies to freedom-loving residents trapped inside occupied territory. While we plan to initially use FedEx or UPS instead of aerial delivery, we figure that $5 flat rate shipping will make up for any loss of “style points.”

The increases we have made and continue to make in production capacity will allow us to open this program with very minimal impact on the number of PMAGs we are shipping to our dealers and distributors out of the state. We are also aware that Colorado is not the only state with existing or pending magazine capacity restrictions; we are working on programs for other affected states as well.

Tactical Tailor: Ingels on Constitutionality

Thursday, February 28th, 2013

This is a guest post from Dave Reeder that is based on a lengthy interview with Tactical Tailor’s Casey Ingels. Casey is an attorney (he’s also a former Army Ranger) and he has an interesting take on the recent rash of restrictive gun legislation being introduced across the country. Casey and I have discussed the issue as well and I agree with his point of view. I am very concerned that these laws not only infringe on our Second Amendment rights but several of these bills also introduce outrageous Fourth Amendment concerns. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, weaken one of amendments in the Bill of Rights and you undermine them all. Thanks to Dave for putting this together and to Casey for his time and expertise.

Magpul to Support Coloradans With PMAGs

Wednesday, February 27th, 2013

Magpul made an interesting announcement via Facebook.

We are proud to announce that within a matter of days we will be going live with a new program. Due to a bill currently moving through the Colorado legislature, there is the possibility that Colorado residents’ ability to purchase standard capacity magazines will soon be infringed. Before that happens, and Magpul is forced to leave the state in order to keep to our principles, we will be doing our best to get standard capacity PMAGs into the hands of any Colorado resident that wants them.

Verified Colorado residents will be able to purchase up to ten (10) standard capacity AR/M4 magazines directly from Magpul, and will be given immediate flat-rate $5 shipping, bypassing our current order queue.

Our customers outside of Colorado, please know that our PMAG production will continue at an ever-increasing rate until we do relocate, shipments to our distributors in other states will continue, and that we do not expect relocation to significantly impact PMAG production. We are also aware that Colorado is not the only state with existing or pending magazine capacity restrictions; we are working on programs for other affected states as well.

Full details and instructions will be announced when we are able to go live; please watch here for the coming announcement.

Firearms Companies Boycotting NY LE – Updated

Tuesday, February 26th, 2013

Awhile back we posted about a few companies who have pledged to boycott sales to New York Law Enforcement after that state passed its so-called SAFE act effectively banning any weapon that can accommodate a magazine over 7 rounds. That little list has grown to well over 80 companies with more jumping on board every day. I’d like to pay particular attention to one of our advertisers, Bravo Company for standing our constitutional rights.

I could reproduce the list here but I won’t because someone else has made a full time job out of it and he is doing great. Visit NC Gun Blog for the latest updates. I only take umbrage with one thing on his list. He’s created a naughty list and placed GT Distributors on there. They don’t belong. That is a company with a long commitment of service to the LE community. Before there was panic buying they made their money from sales to LE and in order to support that customer base and they’ve decided to limit sales of semi auto rifles and 30 round magazines to them. It’s not like civilian customers were lining up to buy stuff from them before the panic so it’s more than a little foolish to vilify them for conducting business with their regular customers. The ones that will be there for the long haul.

Update – I checked with GT Distributors and they had temporarily modified their sales policy to support long-term LE customers during the height of the panic. However, now, you can go and order anything that is in stock; military, LE or civilian. To be sure, they are strongly committed to the Second Amendment.

Law Enforcement writ large isn’t bad and it isn’t the enemy. The issue is with bad laws written sponsored by uninformed and ill intentioned legislators as well as opportunists. Our industry needs to support LE in appropriate ways. Every situation is different and sometimes that means saying “No” both to them and to consumers.

Let’s Rename Magazines

Tuesday, February 26th, 2013

The other day I was joking around with some friends about how standard 30 round magazines somehow became evil “High Capacity Magazines” so I came up with this new naming convention to put the discussion back on track. But, I bet you guys can come up with even better names. So have at it and enjoy.
