Michigan: more prescribed burns on the way this spring

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. As spring nears, Michigan residents may occasionally see some smoke, courtesy of prescribed fires, or burns, carried out in different areas of the state by the DNR. They can be conducted any time of year, but most burns are done in the spring and fall.

The DNR works closely with local officials in areas where burns are planned. Weather is carefully monitored, too, and burns will be canceled if conditions are unfavorable.

These carefully staged fires help control invasive species and create critical habitat for wildlife. And, strange as it may sound, these fires also help our forests grow! Want to learn more? Check out the DNR’s Prescribed Fire Explained webpage for some history, a map of past burn locations, a link to a prescribed burn story map and the opportunity to sign up for email updates.

SAF: ‘Red Flag’ Laws Must Protect Due Process

BELLEVUE, WA – Extreme Risk Protection Orders, generically known as “red flag laws” that allow the seizure of private firearms based on a complaint filed with the authorities must include and guarantee due process, or they shouldn’t be allowed, the Second Amendment Foundation said today.

Amid rising concerns about due process in the enforcement of such laws, which have already resulted in one fatal shooting in Maryland, SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb said there is always the potential for abuse without careful scrutiny. He questioned the motives of some politicians who support “red flag” laws without consideration for the rights of affected gun owners.

“More needs to be done to keep politicians with power grab addictions away from people’s guns,” the gun rights advocate observed. “That is the ‘red flag’ kind of law we should all support.” Read more

Silent Legion Introduces the Brand New SL-AK

Oak Ridge, NC (March 29, 2019) – The Silent Legion team is always working to design and build out suppressors for new platforms. Each new model is made to fit a growing demand for suppressors in recreational and tactical shooting communities. The wide array of firearm platforms, however, means that each model must be built specifically to fit and function on each platform.

The all-new SL-AK fits one of the most common firearm platforms in the world. The 7.62x39mm fits the AK-47, making it a valuable asset for the mass-produced firearm. The Bi-Lock Quick Detach mounting system offers one of the most effective QD systems in production. You can attach or detach the suppressor in a matter of seconds. The AK-47 is often used as a tactical firearm. The ability to not only shoot suppressed but to set up without delay gives the shooter a major advantage.

The SL-AK reduces sound by a significant amount at 32 dB of total reduction. The 7.75″ length and 1.5″ diameter is a natural extension of the barrel that does not affect the normal shooting stance or grip. At only 17 oz., shooters can still pivot and shoot unaffected by the weight. Read more
