New Civic Duty Self-Defense Round

Winder, GA- G2 Research–introduces its NEW Civic Duty round for serious self- defense. Designed to reliably and quickly expand to 2.5 times its caliber, this new round delivers incredible attack stopping energy, large wound area and excellent penetration.

A “humble” 100-grain 9mm Civic Duty bullet will open up to 0.855 inches, creating a near-instant fight-stopping wound by effectively delivering all of its energy inside the target.

The Civic Duty bullet is a solid copper, CNC-machined bullet that upon entering the target immediately begins expansion as a large hollow point. At initial contact, six large petals of the jacket peel back to create a fight-stopping wound. Unlike conventional hollow point bullets – which may not expand reliably due to clothing filling up the hollow point, the Civic Duty will indeed reliably open up because of its peeling petal design.

Ohio House Passes Bill to Eliminate “No Gun” Victim Zones

COLUMBUS, OH – Sub. HB 48, sponsored by Ron Maag (R-Lebanon), passed the Ohio House of Representatives today with a 63-25 vote. The bill is now headed to the Senate for further consideration.

HB 48 makes several critical changes to Ohio firearms laws.

Currently it is against the law to possess a firearm on school property. There is an exemption for Concealed Handgun License (CHL) holders “immediately in the process of picking up or dropping off a child,” provided the license-holder remains in the vehicle. But drop off a spouse (not a “child”) for work, or your kids lunch/medicine/science project, and parents are subject to felony penalties. Parents with a CHL are prohibited from leaving the vehicle as may be required to sign a child out of the office or nurses’ station.

HB 48 would fix this by simply stating that the gun, as opposed to the license-holder, must remain in the vehicle. It fixes a problem with which license-holders, schools, law enforcement and prosecutors have had issues. Such a simple and commonsense fix should enjoy unanimous support. Read more

Weatherby® Introduces The Vanguard® Wilderness

Paso Robles, Calif.—Weatherby Inc., legendary firearms manufacturer, announces the introduction of the Vanguard® WildernessTM rifle, one of the latest iterations of the Vanguard® series that debuted in the early 1970s. Since that time, Vanguard® rifles have redefined the level of performance that’s attainable from a production rifle —especially budget-friendly models.

The Vanguard® WildernessTM rifle is accompanied with an accuracy guarantee; when using premium ammunition, it will produce a three-shot group measuring 0.99-inch or less at 100 yds. from a cold barrel. Aiding this assurance is a cold-hammer-forged, matte, bead blasted, blued finished barrel. Twenty-four inches in length, the free-floating barrel is fluted to save weight, which helps the WildernessTM rifle tip the scales at just 6.75 pounds. The WildernessTM rifle is also available with a drop-box magazine (DBM) as an option on certain chamberings, and this option will reduce the weight of the rifle to 6.5 pounds. Read more

Michigan Department of Natural Resources staff said Sunday’s opening day of the firearm deer hunting season was improved in some parts of the Upper Peninsula over last year, based on reports from deer check stations.

Young hunter on his first deer hunt, Menominee CountyAcross the region, temperatures reached the low 50s, with sunny skies, though lingering snow that had fallen earlier in the week remained on the ground in some places.

Last year, much of the northwestern part of the U.P. was buried under 3 to 4 feet of snow by opening day, in the wake of a strong winter storm that began Nov. 10 and continued for three days, followed by lake-effect snow showers.

At the Marquette DNR check station, one deer was checked on opening day last November. This year, the Marquette station checked six deer, closer to the 10-year average of 10 deer brought in on opening day. Read more

Meprolight FRBS 2D/4D Night Sights Make A Difference

When your primary optic fails, your best bet is to have back up sights already in place. In combat and defensive shooting situations, you need to be prepared for the worst-case scenario. That’s why having front and rear back up sights on your gun can be critical to survival. The Israeli manufactured Meprolight FRBS 2D/4D (Front and Rear Back up Sights with Tritium) are auxiliary sights you can rely on when other optics go down. Day or night, it doesn’t matter, the FRBS with Tritium will keep you in the fight.

The new Meprolight FRBS sights are designed to fit MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails on AR systems, KPOS and other weapons which utilize the Picatinny rails. The self-illuminated tritium back up sights maintain a low profile and are constructed from high-grade polymer and metal. Fixed with a spring-based locking mechanism, the FRBS won’t snap, weaken or break. They can be flipped into position without coming off the gun, allowing you to keep your eyes on the threat and in action under any lighting condition. Read more
