The Remington R-15?

Looks like Remington is coming out with a line of AR-15 pattern rifles.

Sweet. Looks like they’ll be offering them in .223 and .204, which is interesting. This will give the varmint hunting crowd another off-the-shelf option.

Fake Cop In Town

WOOD TV8 has the story.

The suspect drives a blue, two-door Ford Aspire with flashing lights at the front of the car. He also has a red rotating light that can be placed on the top of the car. He’s known to have three law enforcement style badges, a realistic looking BB gun in a holster, handcuffs, and a hat with the initials FBI on it.

So, keep your eyes peeled.

Here’s what a Ford Aspire looks like:

I’m not really paranoid

Just over a month ago I posted a story about me checking out bumps in the night with a pistol on my belt.

The other night we’re sitting in the living room, it’s dark out, and I we hear a thunderous BOOM from maybe 2 houses down the road. I know that sound: It’s a shotgun of some sort. Theresa looks at me, I say, “It’s just a shotgun.” and go about my business. We hear it again a minute or so later. I suspect it was the finishing shot on a varmint in a neighbors yard.

I expect that kind of thing in this area. It doesn’t freak me out at all.

I get concerned only when I hear noises that I can’t explain away with great certainty. If one were to listen to the anti-gun camp you’d think I’d just be itching to actually run off and grab my shotgun at the drop of a hat. That isn’t the case, not even when I know without a doubt that there’s been a gun discharged within my vicinity.
