Just How Important Gun Safety Is For Kids By Tom Husnik

There are thousands of websites on the subject of Gun Safety. If that doesn’t tell you just how important this subject is…nothing will! Police Departments all around the country, medical groups, gun safety organizations (including the NRA), and thousands of other agencies, organizations, and associations have all dedicated websites to this subject.
Articles appear discussing the 10 commandments of gun safety, 45 rules of gun safety, what kids should be taught about gun safety, what parents should know about gun safety, and millions of other helpful hints, tips, rules, commandments, etc.
But… there is one common theme that is present in every article referencing gun safety and that is this… if you have a gun in your home it should be stored in a gun safe or minivault, you should have a trigger lock for your gun, ammunition should be stored in a separate place, and you should keep the key in a safe place where no one can find it but you!
• How else do you account for the fact that over 35,000 kids bring a gun to school each year?
• How else do you account for the fact that there are almost as many deaths each year from gunshot wounds as by auto accidents?
• How else do you account for the fact that most teen suicides are caused by guns?
In a modern world where guns and gun violence can be seen virtually every minute of every day on TV, in the movies, and on video games, what message are we sending if we fail to educate and inform our children about gun safety?
When do we start? Experts tell us that when a child is first aware that guns exist is the time for the education process to begin. None of us would ever let our small kids play on a busy street. But many of us, especially those of us who have guns in our homes, wait until it is way too late to talk to our kids about gun safety. Is there anything more inquisitive than a child? Thinking back to when we were kids ourselves, what is one of the absolutely first things we did when we were left alone? We started to explore! Honestly now, didn’t you know where more things were in your house than your parents did? Weren’t they always asking you where something was? Well, not much has changed in the meantime!
If you have a gun stored in a dresser drawer…get a gun safe!
If you have a gun hidden under your bed…get a gun safe!
If you have a gun sitting on top of the closet shelf…get a gun safe!
I have spent the better part of my career as a Public Safety Director. The amount of times that my Police Department responded to calls for service where a gun was involved is staggering! I learned several very important lessons:
• Guns and alcohol do not mix.
• Guns and children do not mix.
• And finally…and most importantly…you do not get a second chance to do the right thing!
You have a chance to do the right thing today! If you don’t have one, get a gun safe or minivault. If a close friend, relative or neighbor you know has a gun, these also make excellent gifts and show that you care. An old axiom states that there are lies, damned lies, and statistics! Don’t let someone you love become a statistic. Secure your gun---Today! Gun Safe Or Minivault

More Women Buying & Carrying Weapons

An unprecedented number of women are taking their protection into their own hands by getting a gun. Gun stores are seeing more women customers than anyone can remember. Many women are also getting permits to carry a concealed weapon.

Local 12 Reporter Liz Bonis shows us why many women are in a hurry to arm themselves.

When Jenny Jeffery recently made the decision to get a license to conceal and carry a weapon she says it wasn't because she feels threatened right now, but rather:

Jenny Jeffery, Gun Owner: "What I saw, where society was going as a whole, and the need to step up and be proactive in my safety and that of my family."

Apparently, Jeffery is not alone. Homer Cole has owned Shooters Supply for nearly a decade. Read full story from WKRC-TV Cincinnati

Americans Buying Guns at Record Rate - Glenn Beck goes shooting - Obama gun bans, confiscations

I would buy guns like mad, but I already have plenty of them, and my ammo supply is also adequate. Although, I could use more food and survival equipment, I'll have to work on that.

With that said, I still can't help myself, so every time I get one of those stimulus checks from China, I use it to buy another gun. When I got my last check I went out and bought a Kel-Tek PLR-16. It's one of those pistol type AR-15s, its really cool, and could be very useful in the future if all Hell brakes loose. I also have a regular Colt AR-15, so don't worry about me.

CNN Fakes Gun News says NRA's Wayne LaPierre - C-PAC speech - Assault Weapons Ban - Mexico

Now whose news is fake? It's not Fox News, it's CNNs. All I have to say is that Obama and his anti-gun team are not Patriots and that there will be a place for them some time in the future, I will say no more.

Magnum Research Desert Eagle XIX 50AE, 6 Inch, Brushed Chrome, 7rds

The Desert Eagle is precision cast and machined to strict military standards from high quality steel. The barrel is locked in place, assuring a high degree of accuracy. The polygonal rifling reduces barrel wear and enhances the obturation between the bullet and the bore, thus increasing accuracy. When the last round in the magazine is fired, the slide remains in its maximum recoil position,permitting rapid change of magazine and immediate chambering of a round for instant resumption of firing. The 7/8" dovetail rib on the barrel has cross slots to accommodate scope rings.

FN Tactical Police Shotgun 12GA, 18 Inch, Ported, Fixed Choke, 8rds

Shotguns for law enforcement applications are being called upon to perform in ways unheard of a few years back. The variety of buckshot loads in use today requires something other than the old fashioned fixed chokes. And with the widespread use of body armor and tactical vests, stock lengths identical to sporting shotguns no longer makes sense.
FN Herstal recognized these trends and developed a pump action shotgun to address the specific needs of modern law enforcement.

Cimarron Firearms a Blast from the Past by: Chad Reimer

Cimarron firearms are literally a blast from the past. They provide the user with a great firearm for reenactments, cowboy-style shooting, or collectors looking for a piece of historic nostalgia. The best part of the Cimarron product line is the detail to historic accuracy, making the majority of parts at the Uberti factory in Italy, which is known for producing a wide range of Beretta old west style parts. While the parts come from high-quality European manufacturers, the Cimarron firearms are all assembled in the USA to ensure the same quality of the original designs.

Since their start in 1984, Cimarron guns have been a staple in the industry for those who want to own a piece of history without breaking the bank. Maintaining the level of accuracy is done by having a wide variety of 19th century Colt revolvers to compare and ensure that all firearms leaving production lines are built to these same painstaking standards. Unlike many other firearms companies reaching for the same niche market, Cimarron is one of the first official sponsors of cowboy action shooting sports and they even help to organize similar activities.

Besides a handful of revolvers, Cimarron side-by-side shotguns are among some of the most popular firearms in the Cimarron product line. They use the very effective century-old design that customers depend on. Many Cimarron firearms owners, such as myself, are not really cowboy action shooters, and instead rely on the Cimarron as a dependable shotgun for when in the woods or just hiking around rural America. The Cimarron side by side gives the user the ability to keep a slug and bird shot ready at a moment’s notice; keeping the predators at bay is what sold me.

Despite my personal feelings, I still believe the Cimarron lever action is also a must have; today, they are almost unmatched for reliability. They are operated by the user, unlike dirty gas systems or piston systems which add felt recoil. These rifles are the perfect example of the old adage, “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.” Cimarron not only makes the time-tested designs, but makes them fit the same specifications that made them so great in the first place.

No matter what type of shooter you are, Cimarron firearms have a place in the hearts and hands of most Americans. These firearms come with a flawless American Walnut grip and superb finishing to ensure that they will never disappoint even the most particular of collectors. So when you’re looking for a new firearm that has to be quality, or looking for the right gift for somebody special, the Cimarron firearms are sure to deliver the solid design that companies like Colt and Henry depended on to make their name. Throughout my years in the firearms industry, the Cimarron name is still the best for the money when looking for a piece of old west history. Don’t get caught with a cheap knockoff; when it has to be reliable, it has to be Cimarron.

New York: County attorney says proposed local ammo law is constitutional by John Haughey

The Albany County attorney has found that a proposed local law requiring gun shops to register sales of ammunition is constitutional and is not pre-empted by state statute.
Gun advocates have rallied against proposed Local Law A since it was introduced at a March 9 meeting of the Albany County Legislature. The measure was sent to the legislature's Law Committee for review, and Committee Chairman Bryan Clenahan asked County Attorney Craig Denning for a ruling on its constitutionality.
The law would require certain record-keeping by the shop owner. It would regulate the storage, possession and sale of ammunition and require dealers to record each ammo sale and the caliber, make and model of the firearm for which the ammo purchase was made.
The measure is still before the Law Committee and a public hearing is set for 7:15 p.m. May 26 at the County Legislature Chamber in the Albany County Courthouse.
