Kahr Special Edition “Thin Blue Line” PM9

(Greeley, PA) – Kahr Firearms Group, a leader in innovative firearms design and manufacturing, is proud to introduce the Special Edition “Thin Blue Line” PM9.

Every day, hundreds of thousands of law enforcement officers across America form a “thin blue line” between a lawful and lawless society. They place their lives at risk to protect their communities from harm. In doing so, they deserve the respect and gratitude of those they serve. Kahr Firearms Group has chosen to honor the men and women of law enforcement with a new special edition pistol called the “Thin Blue Line”.

Working in conjunction with Kahr’s Law Enforcement Pro Staff Shawn Barry, the PM9 model pistol was selected for this custom project. To further enhance the firearm, the “Thin Blue Line” PM9 slide is finished in durable Armor Black Cerakote. All other exposed metal parts are blacked out, and a blue line is added encircling the slide. This special model comes equipped with easy-to-see TruGlo Tactical Night Sights. Two flush mount six-round magazines and one seven-round extended magazine are included.  Each of which have been blackened for concealability. As with all Kahr Premium Series firearms, a full limited lifetime warranty is included.

“At Kahr Firearms Group, we have a deep appreciation of the sacrifices made by the law enforcement community,” says Jodi DePorter, Director of Marketing. “We offer this product as a show of support and strength for those men and women in blue.”

The “Thin Blue Line” PM9 is an ideal choice for anyone wanting a very rugged, reliable, accurate, easy to carry and conceal personal protection firearm. Whether a private citizen or law enforcement officer, you can rest assured you are carrying a piece of American Pride and honoring those who stand along the “Thin Blue Line”, protecting our communities.

MSRP for the “Thin Blue Line” PM9 is $899. Contact your local firearms dealer to purchase.

Michigan DNR firefighters help fight wildland blazes in California and across the nation

More than a dozen wildland firefighters from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources have been sent to California, Oregon, Washington and elsewhere to battle wildfires and to gain valuable firefighting experience.

A crew of three firefighters has taken a DNR fire engine to help fight the vast and still raging Carr fire in northern California, said Dan Laux, fire section manager for the DNR’s Forest Resources Division. Laux just returned from a two-week fire assignment in Portland, Oregon, mobilizing resources to battle fires in Oregon, Washington, California and Idaho.

“We’re mobilizing as many people as we can to assist wherever necessary,” Laux said. “It’s a great way for our folks to get experience, while providing their own skills and experiences to the situation at hand.”

Assistance agreements go both ways. If a significant fire occurs in Michigan, firefighters from other states and Canadian provinces can be tapped for help. Michigan’s largest recent fire was the Duck Lake blaze in the eastern Upper Peninsula, which burned more than 21,000 acres in 2012. Read more

Liberty Suppressors 762HR Silencer

Liberty Suppressors is proud to announce the release of our latest silencer design, the 762HR, a centerfire rifle silencer.

The 762HR was design specifically for the hunting and recreational shooting communities. It is 6” inches long by 2” in diameter with a mixture of metals that is greater than the sum of it’s parts. The 762HR was designed from the ground up to solve the biggest problem of rifle silencers…cost. We evaluated the usage of a hunting rifle silencer and found that almost no one who uses their suppressor for hunting also use it for hard use 556 SBR applications, it is literally two different camps of shooters. For those shooters that require a hard use 556 suppressor we have several options for them, NOW though, we also have something that is effective for hunting that doesn’t break the bank! We found that a good stainless steel core will last many thousands of rounds just fine in normal use and there is no need to add costly super alloys if they are not needed, so by eliminating these, we have been able to get our costs much lower and therefore pass those savings on to you! Finally, we wavelok engaged the tube to the core to do two jobs at once, prevent tube spin and to radially vent the high pressure gasses thereby lowering the exit energy and reducing First Round Pop. All this is wrapped in a Type C Cerakote finish for good looks and durability.  Get yours today from a class 3 dealer near you!  Immediately available for transfer, all NFA rules apply.

The 762HR has an MSRP of $400. Read more

NMMA Opposes Year-Round E15 Fuel Sales

Last week, President Trump announced that he is “very close” to allowing the sale of 15 percent ethanol blended fuel, or E15, year-round. NMMA has worked closely with the administration and Congress regarding the recreational boating industry’s problems with higher ethanol additives in gasoline.

In response, NMMA’s President, Thom Dammrich, stated, “President Trump’s pledge to allow the year-round sale of E15 will needlessly put consumers in danger, including the 142 million American boaters that take to the water every year. There’s a reason that previous proposals to expand the sale of E15 have failed – it’s simply bad policy.”

Dammrich continued, “Unfortunately, most consumers don’t know about the risks of high-ethanol fuel blends like E15 and expanding sales into the summer months will only do more harm. Sixty-five percent of people assume that any gas sold at retail gas stations is safe for all their products, when in fact federal regulation prohibits E15 use in small engines. These engines – like those in boats, lawn mowers, and motorcycles – suffer immediate damage when fueled with blends exceeding 10 percent ethanol, thus voiding their warrantees and saddling consumers with high repair and replacement costs.

After Court Ruling, DEFCAD Goes Dark

In Seattle, US District Judge Robert Lasnik issued a last-second restraining order to halt the public release of 3-D printed gun files via the website DEFCAD. The ruling by Lasnik prevented Defense Distributed’s release of its CAD files under the terms of a settlement reached with the Department of State. Under that settlement, Defense Distributed would have been free to distribute their files as of August 1. A state judge in New Jersey also issued an order calling for Defense Distributed to block residents of that state from downloading files. The hysteria over “ghost guns” by anti-gun leaders comes despite the fact that under the 1988 Undetectable Firearms Act wholly plastic guns are illegal.

New York Man Sentenced to Prison for Trafficking in Lion and Tiger Parts

Arongkron “Paul” Malasukum, 42, a resident of Woodside, New York, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Amos L. Mazzant, III, in Sherman, Texas, to nine months in prison to be followed by one year of supervised release for illegally trafficking parts from endangered African lions and tigers.

Malasukum previously pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge Kimberly C. Priest Johnson to a one count information charging him with wildlife trafficking in violation of the Lacey Act.

In papers filed in federal court, Malasukum admitted to meeting with undercover agents who were working for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and purchasing a tiger skull from the agents. Malasukum also admitted to purchasing lion skulls from an auction house in Texas through the undercover agents, who were acting as “straw buyers” for Malasukum. Malasukum provided the undercover agents with cash and directed them on which items to bid and ultimately win. After the purchases, Malasukum shipped the tiger and lion skulls from Texas to his home in Woodside, New York. From New York, Malasukum shipped the skulls to Thailand for sale to a wholesale buyer.

As part of his plea, Malasukum admitted that between April 9, 2015 and June 29, 2016, he purchased and exported from the United States to Thailand approximately 68 packages containing skulls, claws, and parts from endangered and protected species, with a total fair market value in excess of $150,000.
