New Jersey Second Amendment Society Comments on Christie’s Veto of Gun Control Legislation

Yesterday afternoon, Governor Christie vetoed the three most offensive gun ownership restrictions passed by the New Jersey Senate and Assembly this year. These bills were deemed the “centerpiece” of what Senate President Steve Sweeney referred to as his “National Model”. The Governor’s veto of these bills is a monumental victory for law-abiding firearms owners in the State of New Jersey. Thankfully, Governor Christie realized this type of legislation is not appropriate for New Jersey or as a model for the rest of the country. Read more

Oklahoma Coyote Control with Highly Trained Decoy Dogs

By Glen Wunderlich

When John Glynn goes hunting, he means business.  He and his decoy dogs, Nuts and Scrap, are the primary protectors of 1800 head of cattle in S.E. Oklahoma, which roam freely on his 10,000 acres.  So do the coyotes.  Lots of them.

John manages his livestock so that his cows give birth at the same time.  And, with myriad calves being born simultaneously, the coyotes can smell the “dinner bell”.  Most of the time, however, they’re coming for the afterbirth.  But, sometimes they’ll tear a newborn calf to shreds before it hits the ground.  He’ll lose about 200 calves with some 25 to 30 percent related to predation.  And, at a future value of over $1000 per animal, that’s bad business. 

And, that’s why he and his two dogs work as a team.  Read more

Lawmakers Ignore Constituents but not the Boot

The following was written by Lawrence Keane of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), relative to Colorado with State Senate Majority leader John Morse’s facing a recall election.

Like members of Congress, state legislators are elected to represent their constituents and vote on the laws that affect them. When legislators fail to represent the will and beliefs of their constituents and become beholden to outside influences, it is up to their constituents to fire them.

This is exactly what’s happening in Colorado with State Senate Majority leader John Morse facing a recall election starting on Aug. 20. Sen. Morse forgot about his constituents who elected him when he started taking his legislative orders from Mayor Bloomberg and the Brady Campaign, hastily ushering through a series of anti-gun laws in the wake of the tragedies in Aurora and Newtown.

The Folly of Mayors Against Illegal Guns

On August 2, Executive Director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns Mark Glaze managed the twin feat of offering self-defense advice that surpassed Vice President Joseph Biden’s in its ignorance, while simultaneously making MSNBC’s Chris Matthews seem like a voice of reason on the topic.

While a guest on Matthews’ Hardball, the host discussed with Glaze whether he would consider an attacker wielding an ax handle as armed for the purpose of gauging whether the person’s victim should have the right to defend himself or herself with a gun, resulting in the following exchange:

Matthews: Would you consider the guy with the ax handle armed or not? Read more

Introducing The Ultimate Refinement of the Side-Hammer Sharps Rifle

As the buffalo era was ending, Sharps refined their renowned rifle to create the rare 1877 Model. It was often referred to as the “English Model” not just due to its refined styling but for it’s high quality English-made barrels. This would be their last side-hammer model. More streamlined, the ’77 was more hunting/target rifle and less heavy buffalo gun. It was the most advanced single shot of the day. A year later William Lyman introduced his now famous Tang Sight.
