Written by reg mathuszIf you live in the State of Washington you need to contact your state representatives!!!
Attorney General Bob Ferguson's magazine ban is moving forward -- it has been APPROVED by Committee and will be presented to the House!
Please read the bill! You will NOT be able to even carry your magazines in your CCW pistol!

Strange times - Gates dumps millions into anti-gun initiative while Apple hires a designer who designed a Beretta shotgun
Written by reg mathuszThere are indeed strange times.
Microsoft's Bill Gates seems to now think that that he knows better than law enforcement unions/groups and sheriffs in WA and is dumping millions into anti-gun initiative 594. He is even at odds with Microsoft's own gun club (yep, there is one).

I am still waiting to hear what size soda he thinks I should be drinking/allowed to buy.
Maybe I would have if I hadn't moved our family off of Windows Phone 8.1. Oh Cortana, what have your masters done!?
But on the flip-side, Apple just hired a designer that recently designed a beautiful SxS shotgun. That's a side-by-side for whoever wrote the new "Purge" movie -- it's not "Es Ex Es."

Wacky times.

Sunnyside man uses "sword" to stop intruder inside his home
Written by reg mathuszSword...machete...butter knife....pencil...that's news accuracy nowadays...weird story though. I repost it because of the news media portrayal of "assault weapons" and "bullet proof vests." Makes you wonder about what else they are misleading/wrong about.

Federal Way Discount Guns (WA) to open new range in (Federal Way S. King County)!
Written by reg mathuszYou read about it here first! (probably)
Local Gun Shop (LGS) Federal Way Discount Guns (Federal Way, WA) will be opening an indoor range this year!!
Federal Way Discount Guns has long been my favorite local shop. They have great prices and also is where my gunsmith (Karl) is. For samples of his work check out the pics of the front and back strap stippling on my HiPower on this blog. Or check out my HiPower gallery: HERE. He also recently added a C&S hammer, sear, and a did a trigger job on it which I will be writing up shortly.
The range will be located minutes away from its current location (City of Federal Way, South King County, WA) and feature 16 modernly lit and ventilated lanes!
I actually don't have too much information on it yet and I am not sure where they are in the process of making it happen (permits? building? etc) but was told that they were looking to open during the 3rd quarter this year (2012).
I for one applaud them and look forward to shooting there and hopefully will be a place to host some training classes!
Washington Supreme Court Puts an End to Gun Ban in Seattle Parks
Written by reg mathuszFinally an end to Seattle's madness started by Mayor Nichols. This illegal gun ban in parks violated state preemption. Seattle was warned by the AG, ruled against in court, and on appeal. The city not giving up and apparently having lawyers that can't read opined that the Legislature didn't mean to preempt firearms and clearly set the exemptions for local municipalities, even though that is exactly what they did.
By declining review the WA State Supreme Court has ended Seattle's legal battle for an illegal law (figure that one out) also ending this particular waste of taxpayer money.
Still on Seattle's books? It is illegal to sit with an open umbrella. No kidding!
