Bill Adds Michigan Libraries to Killing Zones

An awful bill with many sponsors, it was introduced early in this legislative session. This proposed law would add libraries to the list of Mass Murderer Empowerment Zones (The so-called “Pistol Free Zones” where a licensed concealed carrier may not carry a concealed pistol.) So, in addition to the other places where law-abiding citizens are left vulnerable to criminal attack, such as hospitals, churches, etc. (The full list reads like a psychopath’s shopping list for victims), libraries would be off limits.

Afflictor Broadheads’ K2-Hybrid solves the hottest debate in bowhunting


The intense debate amongst bowhunters has come to a win-win solution! New from Afflictor Broadheads, the K2-Hybrid combines traditional confidence with brilliant mechanical engineering methods to give archers the first true hybrid broadhead.The K2-Hybrid features Afflictor’s patented Drivekey Technology. The Drivekey fully deploys the surgically sharp stainless steel blades immediately on contact to their 1-¾ inch cutting diameter and positions the blades to a structurally sound fixed and locked position. Drivekey Technology also enables the K2-Hybrid’s ability to remain closed during flight, until target contact, on arrow speeds ranging from 450+ fps for crossbows, down to the slower speeds of a traditional recurve setup, and everything in between. Drivekey Technology makes the K2-Hybrid a mechanical broadhead during arrow flight and a true fixed blade broadhead immediately upon target entry, distinguishing it from any other industry design.

He then began his session titled “Invasive Monsters of the Deep,” which featured live sea lampreys. Frailey said one of the keys to guaranteeing a large audience is a creative program title. Read more
