AzCDL Awarded “Grassroots Gun Rights Organization of the

Year”

Arizona Citizens Defense League

Catalina, AZ --(Ammoland.com)- We just got word from AzCDL

Secretary Charles Heller, attending the 2010 Gun Rights Policy

Conference (GRPC) in San Francisco.

AzCDL has been awarded “Grassroots Organization of the Year” for our

success on Constitutional Carry and other bills this year. This is our third

award from GRPC and we are very proud of our accomplishments!

However, it was YOUR support and activism that resulted in AzCDL

being recognized. Thank you!

Now, we have to work even harder! Get ready for next year!

These alerts are a project of the Arizona Citizens Defense League

(AzCDL), an all volunteer, non-profit, non-partisan grassroots

organization. Join today!

About:

AzCDL believes that the emphasis of gun laws should be on criminal

misuse and that law-abiding citizens should be able to own and carry

firearms unaffected by unnecessary laws or regulations. AzCDL was

founded by a group of local activists who recognized that a sustained,

coordinated, statewide effort was critical to protecting and expanding the

rights of law-abiding gun owners. As a like-minded coalition of activists,

the AzCDL founders were instrumental in the successful passage of the

first major improvement to Arizona’s CCW (concealed carry) laws since

they were instituted in 1994. Visit: www.azcdl.org

Warrensville Heights, OH – -(Ammoland.com)- The extensive time

and research invested in updating classic military handguns is truly

staggering.

As technology has increased over time gun manufacturers have spent

countless hours reproducing classic guns with improved safety features,

better build quality, and greater shooting accuracy.

Many gun enthusiasts, however, hold reverence for the trademarked look

and feel of the original firearms despite the tide of ever changing

technology. One gun that remains distinctive and unique despite

updated modern features and the passage of time is the Colt 1911 pistol.

The Colt 1911 served as the standard U.S. Military issue sidearm from its

World War 1 debut on through to the end of the Vietnam War. Featuring

outstanding reliability and solid stopping power, this gun was copied

extensively by gun manufacturers in the United States and abroad.

The short recoil firing principle of this gun was invented by renowned

gun designer John Browning. Browning at the time was working for Colt

on an autoloader pistol built around a contemporary .38” cartridge.

When Browning heard the U.S. Army express interest in creating a new

military handgun, he revised his design to accommodate a .45″ diameter

cartridge, and the 1911 prototype was born. The Colt 1911 was one of the

first firearms to pass the brutal weapons test of the U.S. Army. This

awesome gun survived 6000 rounds of continual fire in addition to

complete submersion in acid, sand, and mud, and still fired beautifully!

Although the Colt 1911 is still a widely used gun in military simulations

and law enforcement training, gun enthusiasts at any level of shooting

experience can now enjoy the authentic look and feel of this great gun in

the comfort of their backyard.

Replica Colt M1911 A1 Handguns

Our Airsoft company Pyramyd Air sells fully trademarked replica

handguns that offer shooting fun for the whole family. These guns are

expertly crafted with superior attention to detail, and fire plastic BB

pellets with outstanding power and authority.

Colt M1911 A1 Green Gas Full Metal Pistol

Licensed by Colt, the Colt M1911 A1 airsoft pistol is an exact 1:1 scale

version of its real firearm counterpart. Complete with wooden handle

grips and a full metal body, this unique gun features a 25 Rd magazine, a

shot velocity of 360 fps (using .20g BBs), and a realistic gas blowback

system. The blowback system on the gun is powered by green gas (gas

propane with added silicon oil), and produces an excellent recoil

response. The Colt M1911 A1 fires crisply and is stunningly accurate, just

like a real firearm.

Gun enthusiasts can experience the authentic look and powerful

shooting of the Colt M1911 A1 airsoft pistol and many other fully

trademarked airsoft handguns by visiting Pyramyd Air online at

Montana Shooting Sports Association

Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)-I have just returned from the

national, annual, Gun Rights Policy Conference (GRPC).

This event has been hosted each year for 25 years by the Second

Amendment Foundation and the Citizens Committee for the Right to

Keep and Bear Arms.

Each year it is held at a different location in the U.S., this year at the

Hyatt Regency hotel at the San Francisco (California) airport, on the

edge of the Bay, south of and outside of San Francisco.

This event was packed with informative panels and presentations. A copy

of the agenda is at: http://saf.org/2010.GRPC.Agenda.pdf

You will see that the agenda reads like a roster of Who’s Who of the

RKBA movement in the U.S.

(except for the obvious absence of the NRA. The NRA, we are

told, is keeping a very low profile because of serious

backlash by NRA members and others over some recent

political compromises made by the NRA leadership.)

I chaired a panel on Saturday on the Montana Firearms Freedom Act,

the FFA movement, and our lawsuit to validate the MFFA, MSSA v.

Holder. This effort is seen as really big deal in RKBA circles across the

U.S. I had LOTS of people approach and congratulate me on MSSA’s

efforts in re the MFFA.

Joining me on that panel were Michael Bodin, founder of the Tenth

Amendment Center which tracks the state sovereignty movement, and

Nick Drainas, Director of the Center for Constitutional Government of

the Goldwater Institute in Arizona.

Lunchtime on Saturday was the awards banquet. At that awards

ceremony, MSSA was given the award “Affiliate of the Year.” Neat!

I can tell a funny story about that. Last year at the GRPC, I was given the

award for “Grassroots Activist of the Year.” I had no idea I would be

getting an award. When the award was announced, I was outside in the

hallway doing an interview with CNN (being a grassroots activist). So,

upon receiving the award for MSSA this year, I told the audience of my

last year’s fiasco, and that this year I was just glad to be in the room for

the award.

Anyway, MSSA is all of us and I wanted you to know about this

significant award.

Best wishes,

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks

MALTA, Mont. --(Ammoland.com)- Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks

(FWP) officials report that pneumonia continues to persist in the Lost

Creek (Anaconda) bighorn sheep population in west central Montana.

The usually fatal respiratory disease was first detected in the herd on

Aug. 20.

FWP spent the rest of August and all of September monitoring the Lost

Creek herd and killing diseased sheep in an effort to protect healthy

animals from exposure.

“Some of our helicopter surveys in mid September gave us

hope that we might have killed enough sick sheep to get

ahead of the disease, but as the weeks continue we’re still

observing more symptomatic sheep and seeing some

advanced cases of pneumonia in the samples we collect,” said

Ray Vinkey, FWP wildlife biologist.

“We’re also seeing pockets of healthy sheep, which is telling

us that there is still some potential to keep the disease from

reaching all the sheep, so our efforts aren’t over yet.”

There are no known vaccines to prevent pneumonia in wild sheep, or

medications that can be practically applied to prevent the death of sick

individuals. Instead, potential relief lies in protecting healthy animals

from exposure.

FWP crews now have plans to mobilize efforts to intensively monitor the

herd through the fall season and to continue killing sheep exhibiting

symptoms of the disease.

This means that big game hunters and others can expect to see

occasional helicopters monitoring sheep in Lost Creek and West Valley

and Blue-Eyed Nellie and Garrity Mountain Wildlife Management Areas

this fall.

“We’re also asking hunters and others that plan to cover a lot

of ground in these areas over the next few months to give us a

call with their reports,” Vinkey said. “All of these public

observations are important to us as we work to get a complete

picture of the spread of the disease and condition of the

animals.”

Vinkey said that twelve hunters drew coveted licenses to hunt bighorn

rams in Hunting District 213 this fall, and their hunt will continue.

“We have enough rams to sustain the population and that’s a

good thing for ram hunters,” said Mike Thompson, FWP

regional wildlife manager. “Many hunters never draw a ram

license, and most who do may never get another chance.

Right now, it looks like we can manage the disease along with

ram hunting, and still have enough rams left over for some to

survive a full blown pneumonia outbreak.”

Another 30 hunters drew ewe licenses and were given a chance at a

license refund or to start the hunting season knowing that an early

season closure was a possibility. Hunters that opted to start the season

had a few weeks in the field, and then FWP made the decision to close

the ewe season on Sept. 24 after continuing to detect more diseased

sheep.

Thompson says that the closure was necessary because ewes are essential

to the recovery of the population in the event that a large die-off occurs

later this fall and winter.

FWP cautions sheep hunters across western Montana to cook harvested

sheep meat well and contact FWP with any questions about the

suitability of the meat for consumption. There have been no known cases

of humans or pets contracting pneumonia from wild sheep, but FWP

cautions anyone who finds dead or sick bighorn sheep to leave the

animal alone. FWP also encourages the public to immediately report any

observations of sheep exhibiting symptoms of an illness or strange

behavior.

For more information or to make a report, call FWP in Missoula at 406-

NWTF Adopts Science-BasedWolf Management PositionSEP 27, 2010 02:30P.M.

NWTF Adopts Science-Based Wolf Management Position

Wolf Pup, another example of healthy Wolf Populations in need of

science based management.

National Wild Turkey Federation

EDGEFIELD, SC --(Ammoland.com)- The National Wild Turkey

Federation has officially adopted a position supporting the science-based

management of wolf populations.

“Science has been the backbone of every conservation project

we have ever conducted,” said James Earl Kennamer, Ph.D.,

the NWTF’s chief conservation officer.

“Managing wolf populations is no different.”

The NWTF has long supported the North American Conservation Model,

including the management of fish and wildlife resources under the

authority and responsibility of the various state agencies.

This support holds true for wolf management, as the Federation believes

that state agencies are best suited to manage wildlife inside their borders

that are not on the endangered species list.

NWTF Position Statement on the Management of Wolves

“The National Wild Turkey Federation supports the sound,

science-based management of wolves by the appropriate state

agencies. The NWTF recommends that management

authority for wolves remain with state agencies when wolves

are no longer on the endangered species list. The NWTF

further supports our state wildlife partners in their efforts to

provide for a sustainable, huntable population of wolves

while maintaining healthy, huntable populations of

ungulates. This must work in conjunction with balancing the

habitat needs and conservation of all wildlife.”

About the NWTF:

The National Wild Turkey Federation is a nonprofit conservation

organization that works daily to further its mission of conserving the

wild turkey and preserving our hunting heritage.

Through dynamic partnerships with state, federal and provincial wildlife

agencies, the NWTF and its members have helped restore wild turkey

populations across the country, spending more than $331 million to

conserve 15.9 million acres of habitat for all types of wildlife.

The Federation works to increase interest in the outdoors by bringing

new hunters and conservationists into the fold through outdoor

education events and its outreach programs – Women in the Outdoors,

Wheelin’ Sportsmen, JAKES and Xtreme JAKES.

The NWTF was founded in 1973 and is headquartered in Edgefield, S.C.

According to many state and federal agencies, the restoration of the wild

turkey is arguably the greatest conservation success story in North

America’s wildlife history. To learn more, visit www.nwtf.org or call

(800) THE-NWTF.

Brownells.com

Des Moines, Iowa – -(Ammoland.com)- Brownells, the world’s largest

supplier of firearms parts has in stock the hottest drop-in upgrade for the

Remington 870 pump shotgun: the Timney 870 Trigger Fix.

Just named a Field & Stream 2010 Best of the Best product, the 870

Trigger Fix Kit (Brownells Stock #883-000-022, $89.99) is designed to

work in all Model 870 shotguns.

Slaton L. White of Field & Stream wrote, “Timney knew that

some Remington 870 owners wanted a cleaner, lighter trigger

pull for more accurate shots. They also wanted a ‘fix’ that

didn’t require a gunsmith. So we now have the Trigger Fix, a

do-it-yourself kit (springs and sear) that lets 870 users

customize their trigger pull. If you can handle a screwdriver,

you can install it.”

The Remington 870 Trigger Fix kit replaces the gun’s original factory

sear and spring for a smoother, lighter, adjustable trigger pull. The kit

comes with three different spring weights to lower the heavy factory

trigger pull to a comfortable 2, 3, or 4 pounds. Springs are color-coded

for easy identification. Using an included hex-head wrench, the shooter

may then fine-tune the trigger-pull weight using a built-in adjustment

screw.

A Whimbrel with the tracking device attached

Georgia Department of Natural Resources

BRUNSWICK, Ga. --(Ammoland.com)- After an amazing journey, the

pigeon-sized shorebird has settled down in the remote Coppename

Monding Nature Preserve in the South American country of Suriname.

The rest is deserved. The bird, a whimbrel, has just traveled more than

4,700 miles, including nearly 3,500 miles nonstop in five days!

While whimbrels are known for long-distance migrations, it has been

unclear how exactly far they fly and where they go after leaving Georgia.

Until now.

Chinquapin, one of two whimbrels fitted with radio transmitters in

Georgia in May, is providing key information about the species’

migration patterns to Georgia Department of Natural Resources

biologists and other partners in the study at the Center for Conservation

Biology at the College of William & Mary.

After leaving the Georgia coast, the tagged whimbrels flew north to

Hudson Bay in Canada, one of them nonstop. Transmitter data shows

that Chinquapin ended up approximately 350 miles west of the bay,

below the Arctic Circle in the Northwest Territories.

Chinquapin departed this summer territory for Coats Island in Hudson

Bay during the second week of July and stayed there until early August.

At Coats Island, he geared up for the next leg of what would become a

marathon migration flight.

During the early morning hours of Aug. 5, Chinquapin flew 600 miles

south over Hudson Bay, then continued down the length of James Bay,

over Quebec, over Maine and finally out over the open Atlantic Ocean.

Tropical Storm Colin was pumping north toward Bermuda as

Chinquapin headed south. He appears to have skirted the storm’s

cyclonic winds by swinging 300 miles east of Bermuda on Aug. 8. His

transmitter beeped next from the beaches of northwest Puerto Rico on

Aug. 10 near Playa de Isabela – a nonstop journey of 3,470 miles. That’s

the equivalent of flying about five days around-the-clock from Boston to

Anchorage, Alaska.

The small bird was not finished, though. After a two-week rest, he

headed 1,300 miles south over the island of Grenada to Suriname, his

current location.

Although from only one bird, the information received is invaluable, said

Brad Winn, a program manager with the DNR Wildlife Resources

Division’s Nongame Conservation Section.

“Chinquapin is just one tagged whimbrel, but it is important

to remember that these are gregarious birds, so it is likely he

is flying in a flock,” Winn said. “His movements also

represent thousands of other smaller shorebirds that make

similar flights from the Arctic to South America and back.

“It is pretty mind-boggling that a bird the size of a pigeon can

leave subarctic Canada and go nonstop to the beaches of

Puerto Rico. It is an amazing journey and it is something to

be awed and admired. We don’t know if he will stay at his

current site – whimbrels are known to spend winters on both

coasts – so it will be interesting to see where he goes.”

The transmitter-toting whimbrels are not only showing scientists the

resources they and their kind need to exist, such as seasonal foods and

nesting habitat, they are also reminders that maintaining the health of

coastal landscapes has implications beyond state lines and even national

borders. Whimbrels and many other species of shorebirds are in Georgia

by the thousands for a short period each year.

“These global migrants visit us on their migratory trek for

about six weeks each spring to feast on the fiddler crabs in

our marshes,” Winn said. “The energy they get from our crabs

supports them during the next 2,000- to 3,000-mile leg of

their annual migration. If our marshes are destroyed or

become polluted, the crabs will be gone and this vital link in

the migratory chain will be lost.

“We have a responsibility to be good stewards of our coastal

habitats for birds that call the entire Western Hemisphere

home.”

Whimbrels are a high-priority species in Georgia’s State Wildlife Action

Plan, a comprehensive strategy that guides DNR efforts to conserve

biological diversity.

Georgians can help conserve whimbrels and other nongame wildlife,

native plants and natural habitats through buying a wildlife license plate

featuring a bald eagle or a ruby-throated hummingbird. They can also

donate to the Georgia Wildlife Conservation Fund through the state

income tax checkoff or online at www.georgiawildlife.com. Contributions

are vital to the Nongame Conservation Section, which receives no state

general funds for its mission to help conserve wildlife not legally hunted,

fished for or trapped, as well as rare plants and natural habitats in

Congressional Sportsmen’sCaucus Fights Proposed Ban ofLead Fishing TackleSEP 27, 2010 01:42P.M.

Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus Fights Proposed Ban of

Lead Fishing Tackle

Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation

Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- Seventy-eight members of the

Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus (CSC) signed a letter delivered last

Thursday to Lisa Jackson, Administrator of the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA), urging the agency to dismiss the petition to

ban the use of lead in fishing products.

The CSC members state in the letter, “There are 60 million

recreational anglers in America that contribute $125 billion

to our economy annually, and penalizing these men, women

and children that are the best stewards of our environment,

as well as the financial backbone to fish and wildlife

conservation in our country, would be a terrible and

unnecessary injustice.”

The CSC letter comes on the heels of a similar letter to Administrator

Jackson requesting dismissal of the petition, sent on September 15, from

the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF) and its partner

members of the American Wildlife Conservation Partners (AWCP) and

sportfishing communities. (See EPA Denies Petition Calling for Lead

Ammunition Ban)

“This issue is about protecting America’s 60 million

recreational anglers, and this attempt to ban lead based

fishing tackle could potentially drive up cost and serve as a

disincentive for Americans to fish,” said CSF President Jeff

Crane.

The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA), representing the

50 state fish and wildlife agencies, also sent a letter the EPA on

September 2nd urging them to dismiss the petition.

State fish and wildlife agencies are authorized to manage most of a

state’s fish and wildlife, and therefore, closely monitor and address any

local concerns about lead based fishing tackle and any potential impacts

on local species. A federal ban on lead fishing tackle is not only

unnecessary, but intrudes upon these traditional state agencies

jurisdiction.

No scientific basis has been established to warrant any such ban on

traditional fishing equipment. A similar proposal to ban lead fishing

tackle was dismissed by the EPA in the mid-1990s because there was

insufficient data to support such a ban at that time.

American Handgunner: Time For A Reality Check

American Handgunner: Reality Check 2011 Issue

FMG Publications

San Diego, Calif. --(Ammoland.com)- When it comes to planning

survival resources, water should be at the very top of your list.

It’s a medical fact most people can survive for weeks without food;

however, after only a few days without water, some very bad things start

happening to your body due to dehydration.

As such, American Handgunner Reality Check Special Edition

contributing editor Michael Janich addresses this critical issue in his

article, “Water, Water Everywhere: Can You Drink It?”

Janich’s multi-layered approach goes beyond stored cases of bottled

water. He teaches readers how to tap into untraditional water resources

and make it safe to drink. Like any other survival issue, the best time to

prepare your water plan is now.

“In addition to drinking water considerations, you should

also develop primary and backup plans for water to be used

for cooking, personal hygiene and sanitation during a critical

incident,” writes Janich.

“Assemble the tools, material and knowledge you need and

take a few hours to go through the process at least once. In a

real survival situation that experience and the confidence it

provides could save your life.”

Janich’s article represents one of the dozen-plus survival-driven articles

in the 2011 Reality Check Special Edition. With the idea that survival

preparedness isn’t one-size-fits-all.

The magazine features topics such as:

• Menu For Survival: A Realistic Approach

• Stronghold: One Man’s Plan to Protect His Family

• Emergency Box: Every Vehicle Should Have One

• Lifesaving Modular Kit: Don’t Head Out Without It

• Young Guns: Teaching Kids To Shoot

• Carrying Concealed: Are You Responsible Enough?

• and much more.

“If you are like me, you want to arm yourself with the tools,

supplies and knowledge needed to survive life-threatening

situations,” said editor Sammy Reese.

“Our Reality Check Special Edition is a survival guide for the

real world. It’s a sobering read, but it’s a must read. “From

surviving in the woods, to surviving on the streets, we address

the plans you need to put in place and the tools you have to

have. At the end of the day, you have to decide what’s the best

survival plan for your family, but our Special Edition is the

best place to start.”

The 2011 Buyer’s Guide, is also included in the magazine. The Buyer’s

Guide features 94 pages of guns, knives and more survival tools.

American Handgunner Reality Check is available now, while supplies

last. To order online visit, www.americanhandgunner.com and follow the

2010 PRPA SERVICE PISTOLCHAMPIONSHIPSEP 27, 2010 01:15P.M.

2010 PRPA SERVICE PISTOL CHAMPIONSHIP

By Jeffrey Lloyd, Pistol Director

Pennsylvania Rifle and Pistol Association

Butler, PA --(Ammoland.com)- The 2010 Service Pistol Championship

match was held at the Lewistown Pistol Club on June 18 -19, 2010.

The match was broken into 2 sections, the first being a regular 1800

point possible matches, starting with .22 pistol and then Center Fire

Pistols.

The second stage was fired with Service Pistols, either 1911 .45 caliber

pistols, or Beretta M9 9mm pistols. Either pistol is permitted, but they

can only be altered for accuracy and the triggers must be adjusted to a 4

pound trigger pull weight.

Outwardly they must look military issue except for adjustable sights. If a

person did not want to participate in the Service Pistol section, they

could shoot along with a .45 pistol but their score would not be included

in the Service Pistol aggregate.

There were 2 competitors in the High Master Classification, there were 7

in competition in the Master Classification, 11 competitors in the Expert

Classification, 6 in the Sharpshooter Classification, and 7 in the

Marksman Classification for a total of 33 shooters.

Brian Keyser Penn State Service Pistol Champion

The first segment of the match was fired with .22 caliber pistols, in a

regular 900 possible point match. That match was won by Lewistown‘s

own Jerry Ford with a score of 880-30x. Jerry is a classified Master and

led the way for all. The High Master winner was Brian Keyser of

Birdsboro, PA. Brian fired a score of 877-38x.

In the Expert Class, the high score was posted by Heim Trang from

Germantown, MD. Heim fired a score of 872-32x. In the Sharp-shooter

Class, top honors went to Tim Burris of Mifflintown, PA. Tim fired an

850-30x. In the Marksman Class the high score was posted by Jon Caley,

out of York, PA. Jon fired a score of 847-23x. These last 2 shooters

should be watching the mail for their new classification cards! Both are

going to move up quickly firing scores like these!

The next segment was the Center Fire match. Again the match winner

came from the Mas-ter Class. Tom Mix from Ebensburg, PA was the

Center Fire match winner with a score of 867-26x. The top High Master

was Joe Urish, from Butler, PA. Joe fired a score of 866-30x. In the

Expert Class Heim Trang again posted the top score. Heim fired 852-28x

to lead all Experts. In the Sharpshooter Class, Tim Burris came out on

top again with an 816-11x. In the Marksman Class top honors went to

Jon Caley with a score of 812-18x.

Next came the State Service Pistol Championship. This match is fired in

a 900 possible point match, just as the .22 and CF stages are fired. This

match determines not only the State Champion, but also the members of

the PRPA Service Pistol Team that will compete at the National Matches

at Camp Perry in July. The members of the team are picked by the top 5

shooters (that are going to Perry) and the 6th shooter is the ―New

Shooter.

This shooter is a member that has not been on a CMP team in the past.

Every year a ―New Shooter must be picked, and that shooter must fire

in the Team Competition at Camp Perry. The other 3 shooters are

determined by the scores fired during the individual matches fired at

Camp Perry earlier on Sunday July 18th. They have much to live up to as

the 2009 PRPA Service Pistol Team was the Na-tional Champion Civilian

Team.

There were 21 competitors who participated in the Service Pistol

Championship. After the smoke cleared and the scores were totaled up,

Brian Keyser was firmly on top of the board. Brian fired a score of 836-

23x to lead all shooters and claim his first PRPA State Service Pistol

Cham-pionship! Second place went to Joe Urish. In third was Steve

Gibbons from Lewistown, PA.

The members of the PRPA Service Pistol Team at Camp Perry as

determined by the match scores are as follows. Joe Urish, Steve Gibbons,

Tom Mix, Brian Dean, Dennis Kriek, and the ―New Shooter is Kirk

Anderson of State College, PA. It is the custom that the State Champion

is named the team captain for the team. This year Brian will not be able

to go to Camp Perry. Also some familiar names of shooters that will not

be competing at Camp Perry in 2010 are Patrick Kelly Jr and Russ

Wallander. We are going to miss all of them at Perry, both as members of

the PRPA Teams and, as good friends and competitors. Here‘s hoping

that they will be back in 2011!

In addition to the regular match there was a CMP EIC match fired, This

match was won by Brian Keyser with a score of 283-10x. The top score by

a Non-Distinguished shooter was posted by Anthony Brong from

Harrisburg, PA. Tony fired a score of 259-4x. Then a Distinguished Re-

volver match was conducted. The winner of this match was again Brian

Keyser. Brian tops the field with a score of 273-8. The top scoring non-

distinguished shooter was Steven Welsh of Stroudsburg, PA. Steve

posted a score of 253-2x

Congratulations Brian Keyser, State Service Pistol Champion, and we

wish you many more wins! Good luck to the shooters on the PRPA

Service Pistol Team at Camp Perry!

We want to commend the Lewistown Pistol Club for their continuing

support of the shooters of Pennsylvania! Not only was the match run in a

very professional and cordial manner, but the club put together a nice

assortment of door prizes with 2 Springfield Armory pistols as prizes!

We look forward to working with the club in the future in this

and all competitions they plan! Good Shooting!

Canadian Gun Grabbers – Bunch of hosers doon’t cha knoow?

By Steve Lee Parsons, Director

Pennsylvania Rifle and Pistol Association

Butler, PA --(Ammoland.com)- I just returned from visiting a relative

in Canada. Since we were traveling to a remote part of Canada, I decided,

as in the past, to bring along a rifle and ammo.

I filled out the appropriate one page Canadian Customs Firearms

Declaration form. When I told the agent at the border crossing that I was

bringing in a rifle, he looked alarmed and asked “what for?” “Protection

from wildlife” was my response, which is one of the stated purposes on

their Customs form.

“Well”, he replied. “They probably won’t let you in, because

you have no need, but drive over to the Customs office”.

When I presented my Customs form I had to undergo a third degree

questioning. Then the Customs agent asked to see the rifle (never

experienced that before, but certainly a reasonable request).

He must have measured the barrel 3 times, and finally stamped the form

and let us proceed into Canada with my rifle.

If you try to smuggle a handgun into Canada, you face arrest and

confiscation of your vehicle.

Canadian residents are not legally allowed to own or carry any handguns,

tasers, etc. for personal defense, or any business purpose. Canadian

police officials in most localities have to check out and turn back in their

handguns at a shift change.

You can own a rifle or shotgun, with severe limitations, although there is

currently legislation on the books requiring registration of same.

Remember, in 1929 all German citizens were required to register their

firearms, then in 1935, the Gestapo came and confiscated firearms, then

a few years later, they came back, arrested some of the prior owners, and

killed them, because they figured, once a gun owner, always a gun

owner!

You cannot purchase any ammo in Canada, down to .22 caliber, without

a license. This is European, Progressive, UN type gun grabbing at its

finest, and it’s just a few few hours away from us.

Thank God, James Madison, and the Supreme Court for our

2nd Amendment rights.

Why Can’t My Rifle MaintainThat Perfect Zero?SEP 27, 2010 11:21A.M.

Why Can’t My Rifle Maintain That Perfect Zero?

Horus Vision

San Bruno, CA --(Ammoland.com)- A question we receive more than

often is, “How do I maintain that perfect zero once I’ve already done it? I

seem to keep losing it.”

Keeping a perfect zero is tough, because there are a combination of

mechanical and physiological factors that can alter the configuration of

the relationship with the scope and gun.

Above is a video of the president of Horus Vision with a simple guide to

zeroing your riflescope.

What changes your zero?

Cleaning

When you clean your gun, you are moving parts around, which most

likely will shift your alignment

Tightening

Any time you tighten:

• Screws

• Rings

• Pillar Bolts

You are again shifting the original alignment, especially if you do not

apply equal distribution of torque on component parts

To avoid unequal distribution, a torque tool is a good way to tighten

everything up equally.

Today’s Tabbloid PERSONAL NEWS FOR news@ammoland.com 28 September 2010

17

Mixing Ammo

To maintain the perfect zero, you cannot switch up the ammunition. You

have to shoot with the same brand, types, and weights.

Temperature

Dramatic ranges of temperature will change your zero, because the air

density affects the velocity of the bullet. With increased temperature,

there is a higher velocity.

Personal Shooting Practices

If you change up any of the following, you will most likely alter your zero:

• Having another individual shoot the gun for you

• Holding loose vs. tight on the shoulder

• Holding loose vs. tight on the cheek weld

Differing your Gun Rest

Be sure to use the same kind of gun rest, whether it is a sand bag,

mechanical rest, box, etc. It should be stable and easy to repeat the same

position each time.

Transportation of Weapon

Even if you don’t mishandle your weapon in the slightest, it is possible

that a shift of zero could occur.

• Turret knobs Not Covered

If the turret knobs are not protected, they can rub against clothing, gear,

storage bags, scabbard, etc. If the knobs turn, it will definitely shift over

your alignment and cause your point of impact to be off.

Defective scope

Having a defective scope is a possibility, but it is not likely. If you have

taken conscientious efforts to avoid any of the above in your shooting

endeavors and you still aren’t accomplishing that zero, then maybe you

really do have a defective scope and need to get that checked!

Pennsylvania Self DefenseRights Are On The LineSEP 27, 2010 11:08A.M.

Pennsylvania Self Defense Rights Are On The Line

Critical Legislative Alert Support Castle Doctrine law

At Issue: Discharge Petition and Floor Action – House Bill 40

Allegheny County Sportsmen’s League

McDonald, PA --(Ammoland.com)- For nearly 6 years we have ‘all’

been working to improve the use of force laws (known as Castle

Doctrine) here in Pennsylvania so that gun owners would feel that they

would be treated fairly ‘if’ they have to use force to defend their families

with lethal force.

Unfortunately we have been frustrated by the idiosyncrasies of

Pennsylvania politics. Again, we want ‘nothing more’ than what other

states have: reasonable legislation that will provide important

protections for ‘law-abiding’ citizens who must use protective force

when confronting criminals. Thousands of volunteer organizations’

dollars and thousands of man-hours have been dedicated to this effort.

Grassroots leaders of Pennsylvania gun rights organizations have bent

over backwards trying to be fair in a good faith effort to accommodate

critics of this important legislation.

Sadly, this legislation has been held hostage by a shrill

minority in the legislature consisting of the Philadelphia

Legislative caucus and certain agencies.

They are using their political connections to thwart the desire of the

people. The people want a vote and they want this bill on the governor’s

desk for signature ASAP-THIS SESSION. It is unconscionable to have

tremendously popular legislation, with nearly 2/3 of the House of

Representatives as co-sponsors, be denied a timely, fair, and honest vote.

The Pennsylvania organizations that support this legislation (identified

below) are fully aware of the parliamentary options that are available to

leadership to advance this legislation and we ask your support to

encourage legislators and leadership to speedily resolve these issues and

Our organizations are receiving many complaints from individual gun

owners, such as you, about legislative ambivalence and antipathy

towards this concept and HB 40. Our members, officers, and board

members insist upon a more proactive stance and firm and definitive

action on the part of legislators whom we have supported. To this end we

know there will be a vote on a discharge petition in the House of

Representatives on Monday, September 27, and we encourage you to

stress the importance of their support for not only this effort but also any

other effort to advance House Bill 40 (Castle doctrine) through the

legislative process in the next few coming days.

The bill will be much more likely to pass and be put on the Governor’s

desk IF we can count on you to generate help support. We know this is a

last minute request and apologize for it but the broken promises of

certain legislators in leadership has intentionally, we believe, left us with

little time to maneuver. We have tried every reasonable method to break

HB 40 free of this legislative log jam without bothering you, to no avail.

Now we are asking for your help once again!

**Please contact your legislator and members of the House of

Representatives leadership and let them know that you not only support

this legislation but that you want them to ‘swiftly’ move it through the

House to the Senate and to the Governor.

To Review: The Bill: HB 40 does not change the use of force

requirements. What it does do is eliminate the honest citizen’s duty to

retreat when confronted by violent criminals and provide honest citizens

with legal protection if they defend themselves from criminals. It

contains an anti-carjacking provision that will change state law so that if

a criminal illegally and forcibly enters an occupied vehicle, the

presumption is that he intends to harm the passengers. Protections

against civil actions are also provided, should your assailant or his

relatives sue you for harming the criminal when you defended yourself

and this includes protections for law enforcement as well.

This legislation has been enacted in twenty three states and eighteen of

these states have also enacted ‘No Duty to Retreat’ and is pending in

even more. Crime is down in these states.

Killers are more concerned about law-abiding citizens than police having

firearms. This was proven in the Wright-Rossi study and more recently

by the example that the Columbine killers (Dylan and Klebold) “shared

opposition to a bill in the state legislature that would have made it

easier to carry concealed weapons” (NYT, 6/29/1999).

The grassroots organizations in support of this bill are listed below:

1. Allegheny County Sportsmen’s League (ACSL),

2. Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs (PFSC),

3. Pennsylvania Sportsmen’s Association (PSA),

4. National Rifle Association (NRA),

Taser Is Sued by Inventor James McNulty for Patent

Infringement

One of world’s largest aerospace manufacturers may have financial

interest in suit.

Wireless TASER Shell Ammunition

AmmoLand Gun News

LAS VEGAS, NV --(Ammoland.com)- Inventor James McNulty, a

senior member of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, who was a

member of the research staff of the late TASER inventor John “Jack”

Cover and instrumental in development of the early law enforcement

model TASERS, today announced that he has sued Taser International,

Inc. (Nasdaq: TASR) for patent infringement for its nascent production

of wireless TASER shells, that can be discharged from conventional

firearms (federal case docket no. 2:09-cv-00289-KJD-PAL).

The suit claims that Taser sells the shells in violation of McNulty’s

“5,831,199″ and “6,877,434″ patents. The suit seeks an injunction

against further sales, compensatory, exemplary (punitive) and enhanced

damages and attorney’s fees. A case filing lists the aerospace giant BAE

Systems, Ltd., manufacturer of the Harrier Jump Jet, and its affiliate

Defense Technology Corporation as entities that may have a direct

financial interest in the successful outcome of McNulty’s case.

Documents produced in the suit and other public filings show that

affiliates of a number of the world’s 10 largest defense contractors are

potential competitors of Taser for any substantial military markets that

may develop for less lethal electronic shock weapons.

Documents produced in the suit show that one affiliate has already

developed in competition with Taser’s X12 and X RAIL a combination

weapon, that fires ammunition cartridges that can also be

interchangeably fired from and sold as replacement ammunition for

Taser’s X26 and M26 stun pistols, and that the affiliate has already

manufactured stocks of thousands of the ammunition rounds.

McNulty, a 27 year participant in the industry commented,

“Documents already produced in the case show that this

competitive ammunition technology has application in the

law enforcement market for TASERS and TASER

ammunition. Securities and Exchange Commission filings

show that resale of ammunition for the over 359,000 M26

and X26 stun pistols, which have been sold by Taser to the

law enforcement market, is a significant source of revenue for

the company. In its last reported quarter ending June 30,

2010, Taser’s ammunition cartridge sales accounted for over

25% of its total business. Taser has no basic patents that

prevent any other company from manufacturing and selling

competing ammunition for the X26 and M26 products.

The prospect in my opinion is that Taser shall fight for ever

smaller shares of competitively diminishing law enforcement

and military markets for projectile stun guns and

ammunition and against interest of such behemoth

enterprises. Taser’s Securities and Exchange Commission

filings show that many of Taser’s assets are plant and

equipment, intellectual property and inventory for

manufacture and sale of its current line of stun pistols and

ammo. The value of these types of assets can quickly vaporize

with advent of new competitive electronic control device

technologies. I shall vigorously protect my advanced IP in

this field for its licensees/prospective licensees.”
