The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
Looks like Blue Trail Range was ready to reopen, but the state decided they needed more time. They’ve had some ballistic expert help, it looks like: “Vargas concludes, based on his study of the elevations and theoretical bullet trajectories over the mountain, that it is beyond improbable — and actually implausible — that bullets that … Continue reading “Blue Trail Range Reopening on Hold”
Apparently the safety improvements are underway at the Blue Trail Range in Connecticut, that we mentioned last week. Berms and baffles should solve the problem effective. Again, there’s no need to close shooting ranges to deal with problems like this. They can be made to peacefully coexist with neighbors.
There’s a range in Connecticut that’s under threat of being closed. Reports like this sound a bit fishy, and, being the skeptical guy I am, I decided to take a look at the range area. Mr. DiNatale is one of several Durham residents who have complained that their homes are getting hit by stray bullets … Continue reading “Blue Trail Range”
A developer in Connecticut is not stopping at anything to try and shut down Blue Trail Gun Range. First, they were sued over bullets supposedly hitting houses. Only they weren’t. But, the range went ahead and addressed some safety concerns and made changes. Then the complaining party brought in family to use the strong arm … Continue reading “Shut ‘Em Down Anyway”
Blue Trail Range is still closed, but the picture in this article shows a rifle’s eye view of the firing line, with a bulldozer building up the berm in the back. You can’t see much sky there, and I don’t think the baffling there allows enough elevation for a bullet to head over that mountain. … Continue reading “Looks Safe to Me”
I hope everyone had a nice holiday. Ours was a bit of a mixed bag since Bitter’s grandfather died on Friday at age 91. Her other grandfather died when she was a year old, but both her grandmothers are still living. Enough about that, maybe I have some news I’ve been collecting. Some of it … Continue reading “Weekly Gun News – Edition 52”
I skipped last week because of our election results, and there’s no shortage of fun stuff out there. But a lot of it is not directly gun related. Here goes: $65 million is a lot of money to spend for a nail biter in one state and a loss in another. I’ll have to kick … Continue reading “Weekly Gun News – Edition 50”
Hard to believe that April is almost over. The good news is that my report has been largely delivered, so I have more writing energy to devote to blogging. I was doing a security and infrastructure analysis for a client that turned out to be a good bit lengthier than I had thought, so hence … Continue reading “Wednesday News Links 04-29-2015”
Everyone ready for the holidays? I’m not. Too much to do. The good news is that I’m done with my client that kept me very busy. The bad news is I have a backlog of work with my other engagements; mostly stuff I’ve been ignoring or pushing off because I didn’t have as much time … Continue reading “Monday News Links 12-15-2014”
Been battling on multiple fronts, but none of them are the blog, so here’s all the news that’s fit, or perhaps unfit, to link. The 2nd Circuit has found that charging more than 300 dollars to get a license to exercise a fundamental constitutional right is just peachy. Das Iron Glock. I guess they don’t … Continue reading “News Links for Thursday 7/11/13”
