Dean Weingarten has a good find at Ammoland.
Judge Eduardo Ramos, the U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York, has issued an Opinion & Order that a ban on stun guns is constitutional. A New York State law prohibits the private possession of stun guns and tasers; a New York City law prohibits the possession and selling of stun guns. Judge Ramos has ruled these laws do not infringe on rights protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Let's briefly…… [read more]
Me and Lil Country went ‘all in’ so to speak on the equipment back in 2004/2005 as contractors.
After all, we wanted to stay alive amiright?
It (Crye) was, according to our SF and SEAL contacts ‘the best of the best of the best’
So, of course we bought into it…………plus we had the $$$ that Crye costs.
More the fool sez I
Bro………..
Within 4 months we sought NEW gear as the CC (CryeCrap) as we’d found it was worthless
The stuff fell apart… stitching sucked… it rotted away… Our plate carriers wore out… plates falling out…it was shit… it fell apart under summer and heat related (i.e. HEAVY sweat related times) I ended up with (and you’re going to laugh your ass off) with a fucking airsoft level plate carrier that I paid what? Like $200 for as opposed to the $600 plus for the utterly worthless CryeCrap we’d bought. That Airsoft ‘crap’ lasted for 4 years, and NEVER let me down… in fact THAT gear is now the WIFE’S gear as she’s NOT supposed to be ‘first line defense/offense’ but have gear I know I cant trust…
The f*cking airsoft ‘grade’ plate carrier outperformed the Crye gear for two f’n years
After that experience, I never want to hear from ANY guntoober or gear reviewer who has not had to use the gear they’re reviewing online EVER. It’s waaaaaaaaaaaaay different when you depend on your gear keeping you alive donchaknow?
And as another thing? My primary backpack?
The same Condor 3 day, and I’ve had it since 2007. I STILL use it
This’s a IRL experience with “CryeCrap”
And Joe observes this.
condor makes some good stuff and they have an “elite” line and it’s just as good as any of those top brand names…they have a battle/range belt with a real cobra buckle that was cheap 2 years ago…it’s now almost $100 but still worth it in my opinion…only draw back is velcro is backwards so you can’t use another brand under belt…but overall, they make decent/good stuff…
Something about Crye Precision turned me off when I looked at them years ago.
I embedded a video about Condor 3-Day Assault Packs in that video (good advertising for Condor) and also stumbled across this video (funny how YT does that isn’t it?).
This is so much advertising for Condor they should send me a 3-Day Assault Pack for review.
Second, David asks why anyone would care about this because he sees it as unlikely that it will ever make it to the president’s desk. That may be true, but if nothing else, I want to call out traitors for who they are and try my best to prevent them from claiming success if all they do is decrease the tax stamp fee. And if they want me to grovel for crumbs that fall from the master’s table, I’ll throw the crumbs back in their face.
On that front, it looks like maybe we’ve been successful. I send X posts out virtually every day reminding members of the ways and means committee that they need to pass the HPA in full.
Because Friday’s vote failed to pass the bill through the House, the budget committee will reconvene on Sunday to hash out a bill that will most likely pass. Hopes are high due to the outpouring from the gun community that Section 2 of the HPA will be included. This change would mean that suppressors would be removed from the NFA. Those at AmmoLand News have spoken to in the House are confident that the HPA will be included in the new text. The SHORT Act also has a shot of being included, but that is far from certain.
As for Silencer Central’s view, I think it’s abundantly clear where they stand.
This is a very direct and honest review. Reed doesn’t like the quality and Crye Precision let him down with their customer service. By the way, I trust Reid’s views.
I noted in the comments that Condor got good reviews of their plate carriers. I had also saw a review of the Condor 3-Day Assault Pack some years ago. I thought I’d post it here for those who may be in the market. Let me know if you have either one of these Condor products and what you think of them.
The U.S. Supreme Court sided against the Trump administration on Friday in a case involving the use of the Alien Enemies Act, a centuries-old wartime law used to deport certain illegal immigrants quickly. The administration had argued that the law allowed for the expedited removal of individuals deemed national security threats, particularly Venezuelan nationals allegedly tied to violent criminal groups. However, the Supreme Court blocked the administration’s efforts.

“Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster,” the ruling read, despite dissents from Justices Thomas and Alito. “But it is not optimal for this Court, far removed from the circumstances on the ground, to determine in the first instance the precise process necessary to satisfy the Constitution in this case. We remand the case to the Fifth Circuit for that purpose.”
You didn’t meet constitutional muster. But we don’t know what is necessary to meet constitutional muster. So, somebody else has to figure that out.
Good Lord. What good are they except to block the administration and enable the deep state?
Silencer Central has spent an enormous about of money lobby on behalf of keeping suppressors as NFA items. The members of the house ways and means committee is trying as hard as they can to keep from allowing you to purchase suppressors without telling the FedGod and filling out paperwork.
I predict that unless the full hearing protection act is passed, Rep Smith and Rep Kustoff will hear about it soon enough at election time. I also predict that Silencer Central goes bankrupt for lobbying against the act.
They want us to grovel for crumbs that fall from the master's table like slaves. Silencer Cental has spent an enormous amount of money lobbying them to keep suppressors in the NFA. It's an unrighteous governing and business model. Presumably, Silencer Central sent the…
To all the democrat congresscritters who oppose the hearing protection act, I say, "Blow it out of your ass." And I'm ashamed of the republicans who won't say that to you as well.
Here in North Carolina, though up in Ashe County, deputies accidentally killed a motorcycle rider by triggering his airbag safety vest. They were unreasonably aggressive, pulling a gun on him and physically dragging him off the bike without bothering to disconnect the safety vest. If you don’t know how these work, they are connected to the bike so that if you come off of it the ripcord causes the airbags to expand. These things exert pretty serious force (as you can see from that link), which can cause problems for breathing — especially if you are also being choked out by a deputy sheriff. An autopsy ruled Mast’s death a homicide and found the cause of death was “compression asphyxia of the torso and neck.”
First of all let’s get past the issue that most cops are overly aggressive and paranoid idiots and probably started the whole downward spiral of this terrible event.
This is also why I don’t like cops touching another man’s gun. The gun might be striker fired. It might be hammer fired. It might have a safety. It might not. It might be in half-cocked position. It might not be. It might have a round in the chamber. It might not. It might have a modified (light) trigger. It might not. It might have other modifications of which the cop is unaware.
Only a stupid department run by imbeciles would have a procedure where a cop touches and pulls another man’s gun off of him for reasons of “officer safety.” I cannot imagine something more unsafe.
David Kustoff is a gun controller and statist. He wants to throw some crumbs your way and hope you’re satisfied.
Suppressors are hearing protection. They're as important as safety glasses or hard hats. But you want us to tell the FedGov about our firearms by registering suppressors. I cannot find words to express how repulsed I am at you.
This is my neighbor. No one is mentioning the bear went into his camper and pulled him out!
FYI, the Florida state record bear is 760 lbs, shot in 2015.
That’s my backyard. Shout out from Collier county Naples Florida. Living off Everglades boulevard touching on alligator Alley. The bears are everywhere and they have always been a big problem really tough to keep farm animals and chickens out in the glades.
When you don’t have enough declared enemies, your “allies” suddenly find it convenient to oppose you. Any time liberty is about to be affirmed and expanded, you can count on the republicans to panic.
The sky-high cost of ammunition during the Covid pandemic shortages have mercifully declined. While ammunition probably feels a lot more expensive than it used to, many prices really have dropped from the all-time, eye-popping peak during the ammo shortage in 2021 and 2022.
That’s the good news. The bad news, as most hunters and shooters have already noticed, is that ammo remains pricier than we’re used to paying. That’s for a few reasons. First, the price of raw materials to make ammunition have generally increased. We’re also several years into a global propellant shortage. While tariffs haven’t yet contributed to high prices for most American-made ammo, they’ve caused price spikes in some segments of the market.
The war in Ukraine has had an awful effect on powder availability and pricing. I don’t expect this to go away. Plan accordingly. Actually, I planned a long time ago.
