Gun of the Week

Obergefell v. Hodges

Gun rights groups find a side to gay marriage ruling that will make liberal heads EXPLODE

The headline is hyperbolic, but it does bring up a good point: A consistent reading of Obergefell SHOULD result in CC permits from one state being recognized in all 50 states. Will it? I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

Defensive Gun Use of the Week

AK-47s SAVE LIVES: Las Vegas Man Uses Iconic Rifle To Successfully Defend Family During Home Invasion

Despite cries from gun control supporters, agenda-driven politicians, and a smug-but-ignorant media that intermediate caliber, semi-automatic carbines are “weapons of war” with “no legitimate civilian use,” firearms such as the AKM and the ubiquitous AR-15 are in fact excellent home defense firearms, and are the preferred home defense firearm of many tactical firearm trainers and expert shooters.
These personal defense rifles are low-recoiling, have a decent magazine capacity, are short enough (in carbine form) to be very maneuverable, and they much easier to shoot with reasonable combat accuracy under high stress than handguns. Rifle bullets  also carry far-more fighting-stopping energy than pistol bullets, typically meaning that home defenders have to make fewer hits to stop attackers. Amazingly, while it may seem paradoxical to some, using these rifles can deliver more energy to target than any pistol, yet pose a lesser risk of over-penetration compared to common handgun ammunition if fragmenting hollowpoint ammunition is selected.

I wonder if the victim defended himself with a foreign made AK, or a homegrown one?

G.O.T.W. Answer

That's a Winchester Model 190. It's the gun (or one almost identical) that we all learned to shoot with. It's the GOTW because Little just used one to tie for first place in the kid's shoot at a local gun and rod club.
