Man Shoots Self with Arrow

This photo was taken on a cell phone last week after the guy took his friend to Bass Pro Shop to buy his first bow. The clerk was ‘assisting’ him in zeroing it in, and, after shooting several arrows, making adjustments etc., the clerk accidently handed him an arrow that was too short.

When he drew back, the arrow tip fell down onto his hand and he somehow released it. They rode to the hospital with the bow in his buddy’s hand because it impaled his finger also!

Bad Bow!

House panel clears conceal-and-carry gun bill

By a 19 to 11 vote, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee passed a concealed carry bill that would allow permit holders to cross state lines without fear of violating laws.  Of course, Democrats are opposed on the basis of a states’ rights argument.  Oddly enough, they never use that argument when Obama shoves mandates like health insurance down the states’ throats.

Tasers and Stun Guns May Become Legal in Michigan

Michigan residents with permits to carry concealed pistols also could carry stun guns or Tasers under a measure approved 35-3 on Tuesday by the state Senate. The measure now goes to the House.

Under the Senate legislation, laws that cover the use and licensing of concealed handguns also would apply to stun guns or Tasers. That includes certain no-carry zones such as schools and stadiums.

Michigan would join 43 other states that let residents carry stun guns under certain circumstances. Michigan law has banned the use of stun guns since 1976, with exceptions for police and some other personnel.
