California Gun Dealers Move to Strike Down Law Banning Display of Handguns
BREAKING: Calif. Gun Dealers Move to Strike Down Law Banning Handgun Ads
SACRAMENTO, CA – Moving quickly to strike down a California law that bans the on-site display of handguns and handgun ads by licensed gun dealers, lawyers for four retailers suing state Attorney General Kamala Harris and Department of Justice Bureau of Firearms Chief Stephen Lindley filed a motion for preliminary injunction today in an effort to prevent it from being enforced.
The dealers say that California Penal Code section 26820-first enacted in 1923-prevents them from displaying any “handgun or imitation handgun, or [a] placard advertising the sale or other transfer thereof anywhere that can be seen outside the four corners of its store,” and that the law “unconstitutionally prevents firearms dealers from advertising even the most basic commercial information-‘Handguns for Sale’-at their places of business.”
The sale of handguns is not only legal-it is constitutionally protected. Read more
Taurus Introduces the CURVE
GW: I like the feature of not having traditional sights, because the laser is the way to go- especially with such a short sight radius. Maybe some heavier calibers are on the horizon?
(Miami, FL) – Taurus®, the global leader in revolver manufacturing, is redefining the handgun category with its newest introduction. The new, patented CURVE is a body-contoured .380 ACP that changes everything about concealed carry – so comfortable it’s easy to wear – every day.
Taurus tackled the challenge of designing a concealed carry handgun that is “print-free” as well as comfortable in any position on the body. Building a firearm with a curved grip frame was not an easy task. About the size of today’s smart phones, this little USA-manufactured double-action only, semi-auto pistol packs 6+1 rounds in a highly concealable 5.18-inch package. Weighing in at 10.2 ounces, the CURVE combines innovation with functionality for close-quarter, personal security confidence when wearing this pistol. This curved polymer pistol has a carbon steel slide and a stainless steel barrel for increased reliability.
Taurus takes safety seriously and incorporated a loaded chamber indicator as well as integrated the Taurus Security System® for long term locking storage. Taurus also provides a trigger protector that is fast and easy to deploy with a built-in lanyard for use when using the holster-free belt clip.
Another industry-first, an integrated LaserLyte® LED light/laser combo system built within the frame makes for efficient target acquisition during most lighting scenarios. On the rear of the slide is the bore axis sighting system™ that is designed for instinctual point shooting at close distances. This subcompact handgun does not feature traditional sights to keep the concealed carry design smooth and snag-free. The textured grip and the low bore axis of this pistol deliver comfortable shooting and mild recoil. Read more

The newest round of biologist updates is ready for you to view! With the firearm deer season under way, everyone is curious about what’s happening out in the woods. Continuing through the end of firearm deer season, the DNR Wildlife Division will be releasing video updates from wildlife biologists around the state.

This week we hear from biologists Jeremiah Heise (Saginaw Bay area) and John Niewoonder (southwest Lower Peninsula) about what to expect in their part of the state. If you haven’t picked up your deer licenses yet, head to your local retailer or E-License so you don’t miss out on the hunt. Also, don’t forget to tweet your harvest photos on twitter with the hashtag, “#MiDeerPic.” Good luck this season!
