Man Shoots Self with Arrow

This photo was taken on a cell phone last week after the guy took his friend to Bass Pro Shop to buy his first bow. The clerk was ‘assisting’ him in zeroing it in, and, after shooting several arrows, making adjustments etc., the clerk accidently handed him an arrow that was too short.

When he drew back, the arrow tip fell down onto his hand and he somehow released it. They rode to the hospital with the bow in his buddy’s hand because it impaled his finger also!

Bad Bow!

House panel clears conceal-and-carry gun bill

By a 19 to 11 vote, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee passed a concealed carry bill that would allow permit holders to cross state lines without fear of violating laws.  Of course, Democrats are opposed on the basis of a states’ rights argument.  Oddly enough, they never use that argument when Obama shoves mandates like health insurance down the states’ throats.

Sig Sauer Looks to Expand Success in U.S. Operations

The world-wide firearm manufacturer has been adding employees over the past four years and expects the market to allow it to continue hiring. They need more room and have plenty of options.

The link has the success story never to be told by the media. It’s a lot more riveting to show lazy whiners protesting, because they are not given enough of what ever their self-serving interests demand.

Here, instead, we have Americans prospering in spite of what left-leaning gun grabbers have wrought upon their industry in the way of burdensome regulations. And, I must add that Sig’s firearms are legendary and it is the free market that recognizes its quality.
