Governor Hickenlooper of Colorado has announced that he will sign the various gun control measures that are on his desk showing his blatant disregard for the Constitution and the jobs that will be eliminated. Impact Weapons Components wants you to know where they stand on the matter and they aren’t mincing words. This is from the description of their newest t-shirt design:
The GOVERNOR, Washington DC’s Puppet, Takes Power / Creates the REPUBLIK of KOLORADO!
Leading the ATTACK on our 2nd Amendment Rights, the GOVERNOR & Democrat-State Legislature pass feel-good, unenforceable GUN CONTROL Legislation, INFRINGING on our GOD GIVEN RIGHTS!
PATRIOTS, working behind enemy lines at IWC, maintain the fight to overturn these draconion laws!

I always try to keep a small set of scissors handy because they are useful for everything from gear repairs to first aid. The problem is that most small scissors are either expensive or junk (or both). They either lack the durability necessary to be useful or they are impossible to use if you have normal sized hands.
A few years ago, I was going through a box of stuff and found a couple of Victorinox SwissCards that I used to keep tucked in some EDC kits. I don’t recall why I removed them from my kits but I did remember that the scissors in these SwissCards are excellent. They are spring loaded which makes them very easy to use even though they are very small. They also tend to be very sharp and they stay sharp for a long time. Perhaps best of all, they only weigh about 7 grams with a small piece of drinking straw (more on that soon) and are 3″ long and 1/10″ thick. In other words, they are small and light enough to pack into just about any EDC, first aid kit or hiking bag.
The scissors are spring loaded to rest in the open position, so if you are going to remove these scissors from the SwissCard to carry them on their own, you will need to find a safe way to store them. I use a small piece of drinking straw. The scissors slip right into the straw which serves to keep them closed. The straw seems to be more than durable enough for this application. It is also very, very light weight.
These scissors are widely available online as replacement parts for around $7 a piece. At that price, you can afford to pick up a couple to stash in all your kits.
Russell of SinistralRifleman.com trains a shooter on the finer points of the KSG
The Kel-Tec KSG is not just another pump action shotgun. It has several idiosyncrasies due to its bullpup design and dual magazine tubes that must be trained in order to use it efficiently. The crew at SinistralRifleman.com is creating a series of videos that walk you through the quirks of the KSG and teaches you how to utilize as effectively as possible.
Many of you are familiar with the book Lights Out by David Crawford (Halffast). It is the story of regular people who are thrust into a fight to simply provide for themselves in the face of disaster. Civilization crumbles around the characters and they are left to pick up the pieces of their once comfortable lives. The book was downloaded more than 3 million times and was later printed independently. Now that book is being made into a film, or a series of films, called the Lights Out Saga and you can get involved.
In order to make a film that deals with themes like this, it was important that the film be made independently. This ensures that David Crawford’s vision can remain intact and undiluted. Several well known manufacturers from around the industry are already involved in making this film a reality including Mystery Ranch, 5.11 Tactical, AR15.com, the Noveske Shooting Team, and more.
What most people don’t realize is that in spite of our announcement (just yesterday) – we’ve been working on this project for 3 months! This week we’re actually gearing up for a movie shoot in Georgia this weekend, which we’ll use to create a theatrical trailer in the next few weeks. We’ll try to get some stills online this weekend, and look forward to seeing many of our fans on set.
We’re overwhelmed by the support from all of you on our IndieGoGo campaign. Our supporters at 5.11 Tactical, Noveske Shooting Team and others have similarly overwhelmed us with support, and we’re very excited to have all of their help this weekend. Keep it up, and think positive thoughts for dry weather on Saturday in particular! – Travis
Crimson Trace is exactly the type of innovator that we here at JTT can get behind and I am thrilled to introduce them as our latest advertising partner. During a time when other companies were making lasers that were little more than toys, Crimson Trace was innovating with lasers that are actually viable for hard use and daily carry. I own several of their products and all have served me well.
