Briefs Filed in MSSA v. Holder AKA – Montana Firearms
Freedom Act
Montana Shooting Sports Association
Missoula, MT --(Ammoland.com)- Briefs are getting filed in MSSA v.
Holder before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
This is MSSA’s lawsuit to validate the principles of the Montana
Firearms Freedom Act.
This a challenge to federal power asserted under the Commerce Clause of
the U.S. Constitution to regulate every human (and non-human) activity
under the guise of regulating “commerce … among the several states.”
As more briefs become available, we will continue to post them at the
link below.
Appellants (those of us appealing the adverse decision of the federal
District Court) include MSSA, the Second Amendment Foundation, and
myself as the sole individual plaintiff.
Available so far are Appellants’ Principal Brief, the brief of the Center for
Constitutional Jurisprudence and the brief of the Pacific Legal
Foundation.
Expected by the deadline next Monday are the briefs of the Goldwater
Institute (now including CATO), the State of Utah (also representing
several other states), the State of Montana (now backed down from
Intervenor status to amicus status), Montana Legislators, Gun Owner’s
Foundation (Gun Owners of America [also with U.S. Justice’s Gary
Kreep] ), the Weapons Collectors Society of Montana and perhaps even
some of the anti-gun crowd such as the Brady Center For The Idiotic
Idea That Guns Must Somehow Cause Violence.
Stay tuned. We’ll post more briefs to the Website as they become
available. www.firearmsfreedomact.com/montana-lawsuit-updates/

VANGUARD Porta-Aim Bench Rest
Vanguard Accessories
Whitmore Lake, MI --(Ammoland.com)- VANGUARD, one of the
global leaders in sporting optics, shooting sticks, bow and gun cases and
other hunting accessories, today shared a list of its best selling products
of the year.
SPORTING OPTICS
Your browser may not support display of this image. Since its
introduction in 2010, Endeavor ED Series binoculars have enjoyed
tremendous success throughout North America. This led to the
introduction of several new models earlier this year, including some in a
Mossy Oak© finish, which have brought continued success.
This top-of-the-line series is designed for serious hunters and birders,
with all of the quality of big-name optics at an affordable price. It
performs extremely well in low-light conditions, perfect for hunters on
early morning and dusk hunts. Featuring premium optics, Endeavor ED
models deliver sharpness and clarity with exceptional light transmission,
color resolution and contrast. An ergonomic open-bridge design helps
reduce fatigue, appealing to those who spend hours in the field.
Endeavor ED is used by world-champion archers and VANGUARD’s Pro
Staff members. They’re confident it’s helped them see black targets like
never before.
Best-seller Endeavor ED 1045 features a larger-than-standard, 45-mm
objective lens, enabling greater light gathering for impressive
performance in low-light conditions.
• ED (extra-low dispersion) glass offers high-resolution colors and
unmatched clarity
• 3-stage twist out eyecups with long eye relief
• 42-45mm objective lenses with enhanced edge-to-edge view quality
• Soft rubber armor with unique texture for solid grip
• Nitrogen-charged and O-ring sealed for challenging weather
conditions
• Locking diopter ring
• BaK4 roof prisms
• Anti-reflection coating
• Long eye relief
They’re available at street prices of $349-399 (USD).
Spirit ED Binoculars
Also featuring ED glass, VANGUARD’s Spirit ED binoculars deliver a
high-quality, crisp image, even in very low light conditions. Your browser
may not support display of this image. This series is best for hunters,
birding enthusiasts and general nature observers looking for standout
quality and a more affordable price point. They share Endeavor ED’s
unique glass technology, but offer a more traditional body design. Spirit
ED binoculars are also 100 percent waterproof and fogproof, so bad
weather won’t slow your customers down. An advanced lens and prism
design with ED glass means users can spot animals and bring them up-
close, unveiling details that other lenses can’t. User friendly features, up
to 90 percent light transmission, and a near-perfect viewing experience
make these binoculars stand out from the crowd.

Virginia Citizens Defense League
Covington VA --(Ammoland.com)- The Fairfax County Board of
Supervisors and Delegate Dave Marsden (D) are all pouting over the
pneumatic gun bill that becomes law on July 1st!
The pneumatic gun bill, put in by Senator Roscoe Reynolds (D), passed
easily earlier this year, and was signed into law by Governor Bob
McDonnell (R). It takes away the power of localities, such as Fairfax, to
ban shooting BB and pellet guns on a person’s own property as long as
they do so in a safe manner.
As you can imagine, lowly citizens having such power and responsibility
is just too much for the poor Fairfax Board of Supervisors to bear!
Tyrants simply do NOT give up power easily.
To top it off, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors are such
hypocrites. When Reynolds’s bill was being heard in the General
Assembly in January, a Fairfax representative assured the committee
that Fairfax had no interest in enforcing the ban on shooting air guns in
residences. But now that the bill is becoming law, the sky will fall if
people start shooting BB guns in their basements.
Sheeesh. Where are the adults when you need one?
Anyway, just to let the General Assembly know how much this new law is
hated by the people of Fairfax, the Board of Supervisors is having a
special public hearing and they will be forwarding the input to the
General Assembly!
Sooooo, they want to hear from the public, do they? I think VCDL can
oblige them! Don’t you agree, NoVA gun owners?
The nearing is going to be held on Tuesday, June 21st. More details on
time and location will be provided as the event gets closer.
I know that I’m not about to miss this circus! See you there.
Here’s a story on the event: From the Washington Examiner:

JOHNSON, Vt. --(Ammoland.com)- Orion – The Hunters’ Institute
applauded the signing of H.91 by Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin,
which mandated Vermont’s fish and wildlife are to be held in public trust
by the state for the benefit of all citizens.
*123456* Lineitem #123456, tabblo #1, page 5 (5 of 19), generated 2011-06-10 02:35:28.212273 on g1t0307, dpi=225

Using its expertise in public trust issues, Orion played a leadership role
within a broad coalition that worked to reverse an amendment passed in
the final days of Vermont’s 2010 legislative session. This amendment
changed the status of native deer and moose at a high fence shooting
facility from public to private ownership.
“Orion was very concerned about setting the precedent of
transferring ownership of public wildlife resources to
individuals for their personal gain. We viewed this as an
action that threatened wildlife management not only in
Vermont but throughout the United States,” said Eric Nuse,
executive director of Orion – The Hunters’ Institute.
“Our public trust work related to high fence issues in
Montana as well as technical papers by The Wildlife Society
and Vermont Law School gave us the legal arguments to be
successful. All of the major conservation groups and leaders
of the hunting community were ready to fight to keep our
wildlife wild. When I sent the word out to convene the public
trust coordinating group and provide expert testimony to the
legislature, there was no shortage of volunteers.”
Nuse credits Vermont Representative Kate Webb for championing this
bill in the legislature and praises the support of Fish and Wildlife
Department Commissioner Pat Berry and his staff. Others who assisted
this effort include Fish and Wildlife Board President Brian Ames, former
House Majority leader Floyd Neice, former commissioner Steve Wright,
Senator Ginny Lyons and Governor Peter Shumlin.
Hunters also played a big role in advancing the issue of Vermont fish and
wildlife being a public resource instead of being privately owned,
according to Nuse. All of the major hunting and conservation groups
contributed from the Vermont Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs to Wild
in Vermont, the state wildlife rehabilitator group.
“It was Vermont’s hunters who were the foremost advocates
for this law and took the cause to the legislature. Vermont’s
constitution provides for hunting as a right for all citizens.
This new law prevents private individuals from taking
personal ownership of live wildlife for any purpose,” Nuse
said. “Hunters want Vermont’s wildlife to remain wild, owned
by no one and under the trusteeship of the state’s Fish and
Wildlife Department. That agency’s trained biologists provide
the stewardship to ensure future generations of all
Vermonters – hunters and nonhunters alike – will be able to
enjoy and take pride in this magnificent heritage.”

Missouri Department Of Conservation Summer Workshop
Helps Women Discover Nature
Discover Nature Women summer workshop teaches women practical
outdoor skills.
Written by Rebecca Maples, MDC
Amy Huff hopes to use the archery skills she learned at MDC’s Discover
Nature Women 2011 summer program to help her 10-year-old daughter.

when shared. The Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) recent
Discover Nature Women summer workshop showed that nature is one of
those things.
With the program’s highest attendance ever, more than 130 women
participated in the 2011 event held at Windermere Conference Center in
Roach, Mo., June 3-5. Some attended to gain valuable outdoor
experience, some to spend a weekend with friends and family and others
to make a grandmother-mother-daughter getaway.
“Discover Nature Women (DNW) provides a safe and friendly
environment where women experience hands-on outdoor
skills training at the beginner level, taught by a team of
longtime professionals,” said MDC Education Programs
Supervisor Kevin Lohraff.
Courses include fishing, basic hunting, an introduction to firearms,
archery, shotgun shooting, camping, canoeing, map and compass
reading, fly tying and Dutch-oven cooking. DNW offers a two-year
program that allows participants to complete four courses each year for a
total of eight core courses. The weekend is targeted to women 18 years
and older, along with young women age 14-17 when accompanied by a
woman 18 years or older.
“Not everyone has a chance to learn these outdoor activities
or someone who can teach them,” Lohraff said. “Discover
Nature Women is about helping women do things they might
not be able to do otherwise.”
A FAMILY AFFAIR
Many women attend DNW to learn and spend time with family. It was a
tri-generational outing for Sandi Rice’s family. Rice, who lives in
Pittsburg, Mo., attended with daughter Christy Jolly and granddaughter
Jessica Jolly, who live in Kansas City. Rice had attended a previous MDC
women’s event, but her daughter made the decision to come to DNW.
“I just thought, ‘What a great opportunity to do this
together,’” said Christy.
Grandmother and mother were thrilled to share the experience with
Jessica, who tied her first fly during the program and took it fishing at
her grandmother’s nearby home that evening.
Elizabeth Gann of Waynesville, Mo., came with her sister, Shirley Beer,
who lives in Pittsburg, Kan.
“We don’t get to see each other very often,” Gann said. “This
is a great way for us to spend some time together and do
something we don’t normally do.”
Gann said she initially thought the workshop would teach her some
outdoor skills she could practice with her husband, who hunts and
fishes.
“Then I thought, ‘No, this is about learning things for myself
and spending time with my sister,’” Gann said.
GIRLS’ WEEKEND OUTDOORS
Friends Amy Huff of Fenton, and Stephanie Allstun of Ballwin, made the
trip to learn outdoor skills from experts along with other women at
similar skill levels.
“The instructors here are just so knowledgeable,” Allstun
said. “They live it; they breathe it; they love it.”
“I wanted to be taught by someone with patience who was a
good teacher,” Huff said. “They made me feel comfortable
that I was learning it the right way.”
Huff said she looks forward to using her new archery skills with her 10-
year-old daughter, Aubrey Stuart, who started learning archery at
Meramec Heights Elementary School this past year. Her school
participates in the Missouri National Archery in the Schools Program,
which is coordinated by MDC. Stuart was the top fourth-grade girl at the
Missouri state tournament. She placed 20th out of 188 fourth- grade
girls at the National Archery in the Schools Program national
tournament in Louisville, Ky.
EXPERIENCE TO LAST A LIFETIME
Lori Gale of Festus attended DNW with her friend Amanda Sloan. But
for Gale the weekend was about more than just fun. Gale is a year away
from finishing her degree in fisheries and wildlife management at
Oregon State University, and she received an internship credit for
attending the workshop. Ultimately she wants to work in a wildlife-
related field, possibly as a conservation agent.
“It was nice coming here and talking to experts in the field,”
Gale said.
While she has prior experience in outdoor activities, Gale said the
workshop built on her own knowledge, solidifying some of her fishing
and compass skills.
ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DISCOVER
“Discover Nature Women is just another way MDC makes
Missouri a great place to hunt, fish and enjoy nature,” Lohraff
said.
“Whether novices or experienced outdoorswomen,
participants gained practical outdoor skills that will help them
discover nature long after DNW’s conclusion,” said MDC
Education Outreach Coordinator Amy Francka. “All weekend I
heard nothing but positive comments from the women who
attended the event. Most women were first-time attendees and
already wanted to know when they could register for next
year.”

New York Sporting Dog OwnersUnder Additional AttacksJUN 09, 2011 04:13P.M.
New York Sporting Dog Owners Under Additional Attacks by
Animal Rights Bills
U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance
Columbus, OH --(Ammoland.com)- Last week the U.S. Sportsmen’s
Alliance alerted New York sporting dog owners to two bills that would
create unnecessary new regulations for sporting dog owners.
This week it is more of the same in the New York legislature.
Assembly Bill 8146, sponsored by Assemblyman Steve Katz (R- Mohegan
Lake), would require newly defined “backyard breeders” to obtain an
annual breeder permit and adhere to the same standards of care and
inspection requirements that apply to the state’s regulated pet dealers.
A “backyard breeder” is defined as anyone who breeds one
female dog for compensation.
Under the bill, these breeders are required to obtain an annual $150
permit before they are allowed to breed any dog. They must also comply
with the care, housing, and inspection requirements meant for
commercial pet dealers that are already contained in current law.

“This bill forces regulations that are designed for commercial
pet dealers onto sporting dog kennels, hobby breeders, and
individual dog owners,” said Evan Heusinkveld, U.S.
Sportsmen’s Alliance director of state services. “There is
simply no justification for applying this type of regulation to
these dog owners.”
Take Action! New York sportsmen should contact their state legislators
and ask that they oppose Assembly Bill 8146. Tell them sporting dog
owners should not be required to obtain a new costly annual permit and
comply with new regulations simply because they may breed and sell one
dog in a year. To find your state assembly person’s phone number and
other contact information, use the USSA Legislative Action Center at

including BB and pellet guns used by many sportsmen for small game
hunting and target shooting.
Under the bill, these firearms could not be sold unless the entire exterior
surface of the gun was predominately colored: white; bright hues of red,
orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, or purple; or is transparent. The bill
would effectively ban most airguns used by sportsmen as most of these
guns rightfully look like other firearms and not “toy” guns.
“Airguns, like BB guns and pellet guns, are real firearms used
by sportsmen for hunting and target shooting,” said Jeremy
Rine, U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance associate director of state
services. “It makes no sense to ban these firearms unless they
are colored to look like a child’s water gun or other toy gun
that you would buy from the toy isle of a store. If passed,
sportsmen would be unable to continue to purchase
traditional airguns used for hunting, and law enforcement
will be unable to tell the difference between what is a real
firearm and what is a toy gun.”
The bill has passed the Senate and is schedule for a public hearing on
June 14th before the Assembly Committee on Public Safety. The hearing
will take place at 9:00 a.m. in State Capital Room 126. Sportsmen are
encouraged to attend the hearing and voice their opposition to the bill.
Assembly Bill 809, introduced by Assemblyman Mike Feuer (D- Los
Angeles), would apply the state’s handgun registry requirements to all
firearms, including rifles and shotguns commonly used by sportsmen for
hunting and recreational shooting.
Gun owners would be required to register all of their firearms and
provide personal information that includes their name, address, place of
birth, telephone number, and occupation. It would also require gun
owners to provide a detailed description of the gun, including serial
number. This bill is unnecessary and is an invasion of gun owner rights.
AB 809 has passed out of the Assembly and will head to the Senate.
Take Action! California sportsmen should plan to attend next Tuesday’s
public hearing and should call their state assembly person today and ask

THIS BILL WITHOUT ANY AMENDMENTS!
The political games being played in our General Assembly are becoming
sillier by the hour, but this may work in our favor in-terms of getting
desperately-needed Castle Doctrine and Carry in Parks legislation
passed.
These laws have now been “hidden” in SB 679 to soothe gutless
legislators worried that pro-gun laws “don’t poll well“.
Our Senators Need Some Reminding …
The RIGHT to Keep and Bear Arms is not subject to opinion polls. Castle
Doctrine protection is LONG OVERDUE.
Gun-free zones are magnets for violent crime and only disarm law-

New Film Teaches ResidentsHow To Co-Exist With BlackBearsJUN 09, 2011 03:09P.M.
New Film & School Curriculum Teach Residents How To
Understand & Co-Exist With Black Bears
New Jersey Fish and Game
Trenton, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- The Department of Environmental
Protection has released a new film documentary and companion school
curriculum as part of its continuing effort to educate New Jersey
residents about co-existing with black bears as numbers of the animals
have increased, resulting in more bear-human encounters.
More than four years in the making, the documentary entitled “Living
with New Jersey Black Bears” was developed with scientific input from
New Jersey wildlife experts. The end result is a comprehensive and up-
to-date educational film to help the public better understand and co-
exist with black bears by taking viewers into the world of the black bear
and to see how the State manages its bear population.
The 60-minute documentary, created by wildlife film producer Dan
Bertalan, explores the growing national conflict of sharing the landscape
with black bear populations, and offers a special 15-minute segment
uniquely devoted to the issue of black bears in New Jersey.
“Understanding Black Bears,” which is an adapted and expanded
classroom version of the documentary, also is now available. This new
interactive classroom curriculum covers 11 topics with 29 separate
classroom activities and will be distributed free to interested school
systems and teachers.
These new tools are part of the State’s educational portion of its
Comprehensive Black Bear Management Policy, which was approved last
year to deal with an overpopulation of black bears in the Northwest part
of the State, and a growing presence of black bears throughout the rest of
New Jersey
“Black bears are part of the wide ranging mix of wildlife that
lives in our state, providing an incredible diversity that
requires consistent and professional management by our fish
and wildlife experts,” said Amy Cradic, the DEP’s Assistant
Commissioner for Natural and Historic Resources. “The
science- and fact-based comprehensive black bear policy
recognizes that bear management requires a combination of
tools, including public education and scientific research.
“This new film and curriculum will provide an important tool
in helping our residents learn to co-exist with black bears and
to better understand the complex nature of the job faced by
our top-notch wildlife team,” said Assistant Commissioner
Cradic.
The black bear policy includes public education, research, bear habitat
analysis and protection, hunting, non-lethal bear management
techniques, enforcement of laws, and efforts to keep human food
sources, especially household trash, away from bears to limit bear-
human encounters.
New Jersey boasts a robust black bear population, estimated at more
than 3,400 bears in the northwestern part of the State. Bears sightings
have been reported in all 21 counties. Sightings have increased in recent
years in many suburban towns and even urban areas.
With New Jersey’s black bear and human populations at all time highs,
bear-human conflicts have risen during the last decade. They range from
simple nuisance bears foraging in residential trash cans or invading
backyard bird feeders to the problem of bears losing their fear of
humans, which poses a safety threat to people and can have fatal result
for bears.

“It’s rewarding using the impact of this documentary to help
turn a controversy into a win-win situation,” said Bertalan,
the documentary’s producer. “The bears win because people
can learn how to avoid things that might result in their
destruction. People win because they learn to appreciate this
remarkable creature that is a symbol of a healthy and
balanced environment.”
“Living with New Jersey Black Bears” and the “Understanding Black
Bears” curriculum was jointly financed by the DEP’s Division of Fish and
Wildife in partnership with state government fish and wildlife agencies
in New York, Florida and Arkansas, plus the New Jersey State
Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs. They are available to interested schools
or organizations by contacting Michelle Smith at (609) 259-6961, or
email [email protected] .

Bushnell Outdoor Products
Overland Park, KS. --(Ammoland.com)- Bushnell Outdoor Products,
an industry-leader in high performance sports optics for more than 60
years, has received the 2011 Binocular of the Year award from
Binoculars.com.
The popular online optics retailer awarded Bushnell with the top honor
for the Legend Ultra HD 10x 42mm binocular.
Introduced in 2010, the Binocular of the Year Awards includes six
different categories along with the top performing Binocular of the Year.
To determine the winners, each model is given a thorough visual
inspection and graded according to specific criteria established by the in-
house optics experts at Binoculars.com. The team then subjects each
binocular to exacting tests in the field to rate its performance, including
build quality, overall brightness, edge clarity and trueness of color.
The Legend UHD 10x 42mm binocular features premium ED Prime
Glass and Ultra Wide Band anti-reflective coating, resulting in superior
light transmission and the ultimate high-definition viewing experience.
Built with a durable, rubber-armored housing, the 100 percent
waterproof and fog proof Legend UHD also features the patented
RainGuard HD lens coating – a permanent, water-repellant coating that
causes moisture to bead up and scatter less light in inclement weather.
“The Bushnell 10x 42mm Legend Ultra HD binocular is the
first true game-changer in its class, with superior light
transmission normally found only in much higher-priced
models,” said Jason Mulek, Hayneedle’s Binoculars.com
senior buyer.
With the Legend Ultra HD, consumers not only receive the Bushnell
limited lifetime warranty, the entire line is also backed by a one-year no-
risk guarantee. The 100 percent money back guarantee is valid up until
one year from the original date of purchase.
“When you combine the optical performance and clarity of
the Legend Ultra HD and a one-year money back guarantee
from Bushnell, this binocular is more than worthy of the
Binoculars.com Binocular of the Year Award,” added Mulek.

Calls On Texas Governor ToAdd ‘Campus Carry’ To SpecialSessionJUN 09, 2011 12:20P.M.
Young Conservatives of Texas Call On Texas Governor To Add
‘Campus Carry’ To Special Session
Young Conservatives of Texas
Austin, TX --(Ammoland.com)- As the current special session of the
82nd Texas Legislature heads into its second and possibly final week,
Young Conservatives of Texas call upon Governor Rick Perry to add
“campus carry” to the agenda.
Tony McDonald, senior vice chairman of Young
Conservatives of Texas and a law student at the University of
Texas at Austin, commented, “By adding ‘sanctuary cities’ to
the special session agenda, Governor Perry has shown that he
intends to undo the damage done by a handful of liberal
legislators who sought to stand in the way of the majority’s

hard work.
It only makes sense that he also add ‘campus carry,’ an issue
that clearly has majority support in the Texas Legislature and
that has a much longer history than ‘sanctuary cities’ of being
blocked by parliamentary chicanery.”
During the regular session of the 82nd legislature, 88 of 150 Texas
Representatives signed on to Representative Joe Driver’s campus carry
bill, HB 750, as coauthors. And when Senator Jeff Wentworth offered a
campus carry amendment to another higher education bill, SB 1581, 21 of
31 Texas Senators voted to support it. But as happened in 2009, campus
carry passed out of the Senate only to be killed on a technicality in the
House, without ever receiving a floor vote.
Young Conservatives of Texas believe that the proven track record of
licensed concealed carry throughout Texas, coupled with the proven
track record of licensed concealed carry on numerous college campuses
outside of Texas, clearly demonstrates that there is no reason to deny
trained, licensed adults the means to protect themselves on Texas college
campuses.
McDonald concluded, “In years past, Governor Perry voiced
strong support for this cause. Our organization and many
others hope that he will embrace this opportunity to back up
those strong words with strong action.”
Young Conservatives of Texas has been promoting conservatism at
universities across the Lone Star State for over three decades. The state’s
most active political youth organization, YCT is composed of hundreds of
members and alumni who participate in the full spectrum of politics.
YCT issues the most respected ratings of the Texas legislature and is the
only conservative group to have done so without interruption over the
past 18 legislative sessions. To learn more about YCT, their ratings, or for

San Diego, Calif. --(Ammoland.com)- Overflowing with valuable
information, American COP Special Edition 2012 features an array of
topics aimed at cops and shooting enthusiasts alike.
From an expert look at the latest defensive ammo, to the versatility of
knives, to the evaluation of the new Ruger Mini-14 and the year’s colossal
buyer’s guide, there is no shortage of useful commentary.
The content in this edition gives readers an exclusive look

but we will give a peek into the world of how cops do what
they do,” said Sammy Reese, Special Editions Editor.
Curious about which ammunition is best suited for your handgun
defense needs? Sergeant John Russo offers his recommendations and
critiques on contemporary defensive ammo, and answers the question,
“Are there magic bullets?”
“Thanks to the hard work of modern ammunition
manufacturers, we’re inching closer to it. We might even be
in the golden age of ammunition making because never
before have there been so many good bullet and cartridge
choices, by so many different companies,” said Russo.
The article, “It Slices, It Dices! But Wait, There’s More,” will help law
enforcement decide which blade is best for their needs. American COP
magazine editor, Suzi Huntington, explores a cross section of knives in a
wide variety of price ranges.
“Knives are as much a part of police work as the siren on your
patrol car and the gun on your side. Think of how often you
pull your knife to pry, scrape a registration tag or cut
something-like a seatbelt or flex-cuffs,” Huntington writes.
“And knives have been around in some form pretty much
since the caveman days; their uses are as varied as their
designs.”
With more than 30 years of faithful service to shooters and
hunters everywhere, the Ruger Mini-14 has received a face-
lift. Writer Todd Burgreen contributes an extensive analysis
on the attributes of this rifle. “A testament to both sound
design and mass appeal, the rifle handles and shoots as good
as it looks,” said Burgreen.
It’s a familiar motto for American police, “Do more with less,”
stated writer Clint Smith. “Today, with officers taking pay
and benefit cuts it can be trying for LEOs to stay motivated
and focused on training.”
To help officers with this endeavor, Smith outlines a training block
individual officers can implement at the range, while taking into
consideration the limited funds allocated for firearms and tactics
training. Zone shots, malfunctions, lateral movements and the course of
fire only begin to scratch the surface of the elements included in his
article, “50 Rounds: A Minimalist Approach To Practice.”
Also found in the pages of this Special Edition are staff
recommendations of their preferred SWAT gear. “Boston or
Baghdad, Kansas City or Kandahar—tough tactical gear gives
warriors the winning edge,” writes John Morrison in the
article “Gearing Up For SWAT.”
Suggestions for combat shirts, armor vests, eye protection, optics, lights
and more are highlighted.
Additionally, to make your search for handguns, rifles, shotguns, knives
and other defensive equipment easier, browse through the impressive,
96-page buyer’s guide.
