Haley Strategic Darkness Solutions
April 2nd, 2013Et Tu Connecticut?
April 2nd, 2013We’ve all heard about the Second Amendment infringing legislation recently passed in New York and Colorado. Now, our friends in Connecticut are facing an equally frightening threat to their Constitutional Right to bear arms. Tomorrow, lawmakers will vote on a Emergency Certification Bill (E-Cert) which fast tracks the bill through the legislative process.
If passed into law, this bill will –
-Bans nearly all commonly owned firearms used for self-defense, arbitrarily adding more than 100 new firearms to the gun ban list.
-Bans the sale, purchase and transfer of magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds of ammunition.
-Creates a magazine registration scheme.
-Requires an eligibility certificate for the purchase of any rifle or shotgun that mandates a training course, fingerprinting and a voluntary/involuntary mental health admissions check.
-Requires an eligibility certificate and a background check to purchase ammunition.
-Criminalizes the private transfer of a firearm.
To read everything included in this legislation currently at the Connecticut state house, visit nraila.org/media/11152847/press-conference-material-4-1-13.pdf and visit the NRA ILA for ways to help stop this legislation.

SureFire Sonic Defenders
April 2nd, 2013
I’m a big fan of SureFire’s Sonic Defenders and use them anytime I don’t require full over the ear protection. The secret patented Hocks Noise Braker filter that allows sounds, at safe levels, to pass through into the ear canal, while potentially harmful noises (above 85dB) are reduced. If you aren’t familiar with these ear plugs they are molded from a hypoallergenic polymer for left and right ears and are also sized for proper fit. They also feature a stopper which can be closed, offering a 24dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR).
