Th is book is no excep- tion. Without her life would be diff erent – less fun, less traveled, less productive, and Ffor you the readers, less, period. However, there is an addition. Dan Shideler came on board as my editor for Gun Digest Book of the AR-15, Vol- ume 2. With all due respect to those who labored with me before, Dan was easy to work with, fun to work with, and a veritable fountain of ideas and enthusiasm. For ten books we did our best to provide you, the reader, with information, entertainment, photos and something to look forward to on the bookshelves. Alas, no more. Dan left us in the Spring of 2011, too early. So, for Felicia, who is still here, and for Dan, who isn’t, safe reloading.

    A Basic Firearm Tutorial by John Kraemer, F-ABMDI April 2009

    A Basic Firearm Tutorial By John Kraemer, F-ABMDI April 2009 Statistics for Firearm-Related Deaths According to a 2005 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were almost 31, 000 firearm‐related deaths within the United States. Of the 31, 000 deaths, 55% of those deaths were certified as suicides, 40% certified as homicides, 3% certified as accidents, and the remaining 2% were certified as undetermined. A previous study by the CDC covering the years 1993 to 1998 also found that most firearm‐related deaths were again caused by self‐inflicted acts and men and individuals between the ages of 15 and 34 comprised a majority of those firearm‐related deaths. Every medical examiner or coroner’s office across the country has investigated a firearm‐ related death. Depending on your jurisdiction, these types of deaths may comprise a large portion of your caseload or a small portion. Regardless of the number of firearm‐related deaths your office investigates, every medicolegal death investigator must be knowledgeable in the safe handling of firearms, basic ballistics terminology and the parts of a particular firearm, whether it be a semi‐automatic handgun, revolver, shotgun or rifle. General Safety Practices The safe approach to and subsequent handling of firearms is your personal responsibility. Safety is the number one priority when handling such weapons. At any death scene involving a firearm, the death investigator MUST ALWAYS ASSUME THE FIREARM IS LOADED! Most accidental discharges of a firearm are the result of not following safe gun handling practices and failure to use common sense.

    The Governor's Guidelines for Firearms and Scare Devices for Protection

    THE GOVERNOR OF SVALBARD’s GUIDELINES FOR FIREARMS AND PROTECTION AND SCARING DEVICES AGAINST POLAR BEARS Adopted and enters into force on 20.07.2021 pursuant to Act No. 7 of 20 April,2018 relating to firearms, firearm accessories and ammunition (the Firearms Act) and Sections 5-7 and 6-11 of regulation No. 1452 of 7 May 2021 relating to firearms, firearm accessories and ammunition etc. (the Firearms Regulations). 1.Types of firearms 1.1 Rifle - Rifles are permitted to be acquired for use as polar bear protection in Svalbard pursuant to the Firearms Act and the Firearms Regulations - The person applying to acquire firearms for this purpose must meet the general requirements for conduct, sobriety and suitability in Section 15 of the Firearms Act, as well as document "sufficient proficiency" in the use of the firearm in question, cf. Section 5-7 of the Firearms Regulations. - Polar bear protection rifles must use ammunition of calibre 308 or 30.06. An expanding bullet shall be used where the projectile will weigh at least 10 grams and provide an estimated energy of at least 2,200 joule at a distance of 100 meters. Out of consideration for precision, range, stopping power, functionality and reliability in cold conditions, the Governor of Svalbard recommends the use of a rifle as primary protection against polar bears rather than other types of weapons. Acquisition permits for single-handed weapons will only be granted in exceptional cases, cf. Section 5-7 of the Firearms Regulations. Legal basis: Sections 15 to 17 of the Firearms Act, Sections 5-7 of the Firearms Regulations.

    “The First Rule of Gunfighting is Have a Gun”: Technologies of Concealed Carry in Gun Culture 2.0 Paper Presented at The Copeland Colloquium on “The Symbolic and Material Construction of Guns” Amherst College 3-4 March 2017 David Yamane Professor of Sociology Wake Forest University [email protected] In April 2016, the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) its second annual Concealed Carry Expo (CCX) at the Georgia International Conventional Center near Hartsfield International Airport in Atlanta. The event is billed as “the nation’s only event dedicated to the CCW lifestyle” (see Figure 1). Although the idea of a “lifestyle” might seem to trivialize the practice of citizens carrying deadly weapons in public, the reality is quite the opposite. Over the course of three days, various seminars repeatedly stress the seriousness and importance of being a regular and responsible armed citizen. Figure 1. Flier for 2nd Annual USCCA Concealed Carry Expo 1 A seminar on the laws governing the use of lethal force in self-defense by attorney Andrew Branca is free and open to the public. Although it begins at 8:00am, the audience is literally standing room as the overflow spills out from the combined German 1 and 2 suites into the hallway. Branca later signs copies of the third edition of his book, The Law of Self-Defense, which the USCCA has licensed and is giving away free of charge to Expo attendees. Other seminars presented throughout the weekend cover concealed carry basics for beginners, hand-to- hand techniques to employ before using a firearm, mental preparation for self-defense, weapon retention, and gunshot wound treatment.

No part of this work may be reproduced in any form or by any means without the written permission of the author. 2 Introduction The British military services made considerable use of pistols during the Great War but it is evident that there is widespread ignorance and poor literary coverage of the weapons and their use. It is proposed to examine the pistol in British military service in the Great War, covering issue and use, technique and training, and procurement. Approximately half a million pistols were procured during the war, making it one of the numerically most widely issued weapons. A number of Corps, including the Machine Gun Corps, Tank Corps, and Royal Flying Corps were issued pistols as personal weapons, as well as extensive distribution in other arms. It is known that pistol use was widespread in trench warfare and critical on occasions. Decorations, including several Victoria Crosses, are recorded as being won by men using them aggressively.

    Official monthly newsletter of Wisconsin Firearm Owners, Ranges, Clubs, & Educators June 15, 2016 -- The NRA’s “boots on the ground” Inc. 1963 - NRA Charted State Association Passing of a True Patriot Francis E. "Buster" Bachhuber, Jr., 75, of Wausau, WI, died June 10, 2016 at Aspirus Wausau Hospital. He was born to Frank Bachhuber and Alberta (Krause) Bachhuber April 6, 1941 in Wausau, WI. Besides his parents, Buster was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Marilyn. He was also preceded in death by his sister, Mary Katherine Robinson and his brother, Andrew John Bachhuber. Buster is further survived by his sister, Margaret (Stuart) TerHorst of Ellison Bay, WI and Princeton, WI. Many nieces, nephews and cousins survive him. His closest friends included are The Channel Family (Chad, Amber, Brice, Brad and Brittney) and The Luedtke Family (Kurt, Julie and Kaleb). And of course, Racer, Buster's furry best friend. After attending St. James Grade School and graduating from Wausau High School in 1959, Buster attended Marquette University College of Business Administration and graduated in 1963 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Degree. In 1966, he graduated from Marquette University College of Law with a Doctor of Law Degree. Upon admission to the Wisconsin Supreme Court and Federal Court, Buster redirected to Wausau to assume duties of Corporation Counsel and Assistant District Attorney. In October 1966, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and underwent Basic Training and Advanced Infantry Training at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Upon arrival in Korea, Buster was assigned to 2nd Brigade of 2nd Infantry Division where he was assigned to the 4/7 Armored Calvary.
