News from The Sight M1911

Volume 201, 4/9/06

 

Lots of stuff from “Xavier Thoughts” in this issue (http://xavierthoughts.blogspot.com/), but he’s been white-hot lately on a lot of stuff I like, particularly wheel guns and 1911’s. He’s one of the best gun blogs on the web right now.  I have been busy with running to the range and testing the new Springfield XD9 Tactical, which I absolutely LUV! Hope to have a review with pix next issue.

 

The current major theme in firearms legislation is the “stand your ground” bills working through the legislatures of a number of states which clarify the use of deadly force and shield us from spurious civil suits when justifiable lethal force has been used.

 

Kudos to Kansas and Nebraska for passing concealed carry, and in the case of Kansas, overriding the veto of the governor.
