Received this recently from Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia: “Hi. I’m looking to buy knifes that would suit my Stoeger Shotgun please see attachments for details. Do you sell them and if so what price are they and do you ship to Newcastle area and I will pay all cost.” I (nicely) informed her we don’t sell knives, in fact don’t sell anything, and asked her permission to show you the photos, which she gave. Here ya go. Click for the full size glory, and make the jump for the other photo…
Yes, friends, that first photo has a 90 degree mounted forward grip and red dot sight. If you needed a photographic representation of awesome, there it is.
What happens when the knockout game goes wrong for the punk? Well, it doesn’t have to involve gunfire. In this idiot’s case, he tried to knock out a woman in a shopping mall in Vegas, with video brought to us courtesy of one of his friends, who can be heard saying “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go” at the open of the video. Unfortunately for him, the woman didn’t get knocked out, but wheeled around on him, and he ended up bleeding out of his face on the ground. Extra points for the guy who comes in about five seconds in with a flying kick to the guy’s face. Click the link above for the video. Volume and language warning.
The NSSF has filed suit (pdf) against the city of Sunnyvale, California to prevent the enforcement of an ordinance passed back in November. The ordinance would require that ammunition retailers keep ammunition sales logs and personal information on their customers and expands and duplicates an existing reporting requirement for lost or stolen guns. The NSSF (in partnership with a local retailer) argues the ordinance violates and is preempted by state and federal law and imposes an onerous regulatory burden on firearms retailers. “It is unjust to ask retailers within the Sunnyvale city limits to collect sensitive personal information from customers who easily can drive a few miles to a store in another city where such information is not required.”

Jack wrote in about a recent range experience: Took a trip to the range over the holiday weekend. It was so crowded that I had to wait around 10 minutes for a bay. While I was sitting there, I was annoyed at the crowd. (It’s bad enough that I live in antigun Seattle and have to drive all the way to Bellevue for range practice.) Then I took a closer look at the people who composed that crowd, and my outlook changed. There were lots of women and obvious noobs. Young ladies in tight-fitting clothes tried to contain their giggles. [My favorite range customers. -Matt] The average age was probably early 30s. A good half of the people were nonwhite. And very few were OFWGs. A crowded range is a hopeful sign that an understanding of the right to keep and bear arms is spreading, despite the efforts of gun prohibitionists to paint gun enthusiasts as a dying breed of “bitter clingers.” What are the rest of you seeing? Variety like Jack, or same old song and dance?
Richard Ryan goes all Tech Assassin on an LG G Flex smartphone, and man, this guy is a scary shot. Shooting things edge on and plowing a path down the middle of them is tough enough, but since the G Flex has a “self healing” back to prevent abrasions, he wants to see how it stands up to being scratched by a bullet. So he pulls out his AR-15 chambered in AAC 300 BLK, and grazes the back of the phone with the bullet.
Let’s Bring ‘Em Home continues to crank out tickets for holiday travel for service men and women — up to 97 now — but donations have not kept pace with requests, and they’re running about $13,000 behind. Meanwhile, requests continue to roll in, and they don’t want to turn anyone down if they can help it. Please click the link above or the banner below for more info. If you have questions, you can ask here and I’ll answer what I can.
I couldn’t get past tge first picture, I’m just so curious as to what is going on there.
Yeah. Maybe I’m missing something, but wouldn’t it be impossible to shoulder that thing AND use the sight?
Yes, it would very impossible. The photo was just a spoof.
Ahh. I just finished the review Adam linked. I see now.
Must have missed it when it came out.
I am surprised it wasn’t linked to here in the article, but I remember that from here!

Well, hmm. That’s disappointing. I so wanted the email to be real. It was funnier that way.
Well, I guess her inquiry was real enough. She wanted the knives, I just didn’t realize she’d scraped the images from us.
Oh well.
I was so confused reading this with the link Adam gave.
“Wait.. who’s spoofing who here?..”
The sound of that kick is so satisfying.
The only thing that could possibly make that video any better would be if it was clear enough to see the blow that laid him out…..
I especially like how his lowlife friend with the camera is standing there watching. Then again, he was there to watch someone get knocked out…
And saying “Oh my God!” As if he didn’t know exactly what was going on, the smarmy turd.
Agreed. If the SR-71 was the sound of freedom, then surely the sound of this lad’s foot is the meaty thunk of justice.
That gave me a hearty belly laugh.
Lol, Yes!!
The web page bills it as a “knockout game gone wrong.” If it goes any way at all, then that was a knockout game gone very right.
Bananas in Scraton PA.
Good Lord! How many times did that idiot hit her fist with the back of his head before he figured out it wasn’t working?
Something tells me he WONT be reporting this to the PD.
I was seriously all “Ugh! He doesn’t get… ohhh, it’s a JOOOKKKEE!! Riigghhtt.”
If she had a heater that white shirt would be cherry red with a hole in it. Then the Justice for Thug-name campaign would begin.
Yes yes, that’s all well and good. But where’s this mythical range full of young ladies in tight clothing?
Or pictures of it.
It’s probably Wade’s: http://www.wadesguns.com/range/
The other range that I know of in Bellevue is West Coast Armory: http://www.westcoastarmory.com/the-range/range.html However, they’re membership only, so you have to buy at least the minimum level $25 membership to shoot there. This makes a casual “why not” type outing too pricey at WCA.
In my attempts to link using my phone, I ended up fubaring WCA’s URL. Here it is: http://www.westcoastarmory.com/the-range.html
It’s West Coast Armory in Bellevue.
FYI, every girl I have ever dated since I’ve been on since living in Texas, I have taken to a gun range; it is by far the best place to take a girl. They love it.
I’m in my mid 20’s and do the same thing, living in SC helps.
Amended bad grammar:
Every girl I have ever dated since I’ve been living in Texas, I have taken to a gun range; it is by far the best place to take a date. They always have fun. Plus, all chicks love masculine men and it’s quite the aphrodisiac.
Someone needs to put that face kick on a loop. I could laugh all day watching that over and over again.
There is so much tacticool wannabe crap on that double barrel my eyes are bleeding!Should have saved that image for the weekend photo contest.
This blog created that monstrosity for its review last year. I linked to it in an above comment if you want to see its full glory!
Ha! We had some stupid fun coming up with those pics. Even more funny knowing that some people didn’t get the joke.
I get the joke this morning ( I had one too many beers last night) but if 2 rounds was all you had maybe a bayonet would be practical.
Jeff: we totally intended it as a joke, but oddly enough: once we had the two bayonets on there, we did have to admit that they looked very intimidating, and added virtually no noticeable weight. On the one hand, it screams “mall ninja,” but one the other hand I would not be trying to reach out and grab that barrel, either.
Nothing personal with LBEH but I made a sizeable donation recently and sent the guy an email asking a question, then sent it again a week later and never heard back to either email… That’s a good way to kill future donations. It’s all about customer service, even for a charity.
That was instantaneous justice if I’ve ever seen it. Serves him right. He should be counting his lucky stars he didn’t get bombed on more than he did.
Where I’m at, if you go to just about any range on a Saturday or a Sunday, its gonna be crowded. That goes double for indoor ranges and outdoor ranges on a nice day. If you go in the afternoon, you can expect to wait for a bay.
You could wait an hour and a half for a SoCal range on a Saturday or Sunday.
Oh, you poor dear, you had to wait 10 whole minutes for a booth at the range? That sounds just awful…
That kick was very satisfying…guy got rocked.
I have this shotgun. I will have to remember to buy rail bayonets for it.
Regarding the new breed of bitter clingers… in two recent NRA classes, basic pistol and CHL, the majority of students did not fit the stereotype. They were middle aged women, non white men; middle class suburbanites mostly. Maybe 20% ofwg. And this is in Columbus OH.
Re: knockout: got me thinking how to handle this. I think they nailed it. Leave him bleeding on the floor and split before the legal nametakers…err..I mean..the cops… get there.
Re shotgun knives. I viewed it as an art-thinkpiece. You know… cutting edge and all…
I live in NOVA. Most of my shooting is done at a local indoor range on Friday mornings, as I have alternating Fridays off. Shooting handguns is generally pretty easy unless the local cops or DHS/ICE unit is using the range for quals, then it gets kinda crowded, but the range has 15 lanes for handguns. And the beepers and crap the LEO set up give you a good timer for practicing your draw and target acquisition. You know, On the mark, three rounds, two in the chest one in the head, BEEEEP! So that can be fun. The rifle side has 15 lanes and you can shoot up to .308, I think, but the range is only 25yds. There a couple of 100yd outdoor ranges within driving distance and one 1,000yd range in W. Virginia thats not too far if you really want to shoot distance. I think I’ve got it pretty good when it comes to shooting around here.
After witnessing an attack on an elderly man and seeing the aftermath, I advocate bystanders kicking the perp to death.
kicking the perp to
deathend the threat.Now, with recidivism rates being what they are there may only be one way to truly end the threat…..
Let me ask you something. If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?
Let me ask you something. What the heck are you talking about? Your question doesn’t seem germane to any of the topics discussed in this post.
And you know what’s going to happen now. You should admit your situation. There would be more dignity in it.
Anybody else out there smoking whatever this guy’s on that could maybe translate for me?
(And yes, I’m aware they’re movie quotes. It’s just that usually when someone quotes from a movie, there’s some applicability to the conversation.)
Is that what you’re asking me? Is there something wrong with anything?
