Missouri Bullet Company Offering Year End Discounts
Posted by: | CommentsFor all of your reloaders out there, Brad Alpert at the Missouri Bullet Company is offering a 5% discount on all of their bullets until midnight tonight. This is on top of their already great pricing. See below for the promo code.
I have ordered their bullets in the past and have been pleased with their product and blown away by their great service. If you have a need for cast bullets, give them a look.
Here is Brad’s e-mail in full:
I just got back from our accountant’s office for year-end advice, and she said -
1.) Spend every nickel in the account for supplies and equipment before midnight, the 31st, and
2.) Book every sale you can before midnight, the 31st.
So, here’s the deal - order bullets before midnight, December 31st using the promo code “Banzai!” at checkout, and 5% will be deducted from your order.
Demand will run a little heavy in response to this solicitation, so give us 2 extra days to ship your order. Our shelves are heavy now but they’ll be considerably lighter, quickly, so get your order in now!
We have several new bullets to offer you, including the IDP #6 125-grain .38 Super bullet, the .44 Smasher! .44 Magnum 240 grain RNFP, the Cowboy #13 .44 Special and (modern) .44-40 RNFP bullet, and the Crusher #1, the .500 S&W 400 grain huge monster thing. We also now have “Bullet Bundles” of 3,000 of the lighter bullets which can ship for the flat-rate of $9.85, and probably other stuff I have already forgotten. Come visit us and take advantage of this year-end deal!
Best to you from the gang at Missouri Bullet Company, and the best New Years ever!

PA Soccer Mom Understands What a Right Is
Posted by: | CommentsSeveral months ago, I posted about a Pennsylvania woman who had her concealed carry permit revoked and restored by a sheriff after complaints that she was exercising her right to open carry a firearm in public. The woman, Melanie Hain, has suffered a number of personal attacks and threats because she exercised her right.
Recently, Hain agreed to an interview with a Patriot News reporter via e-mail. The full story is worth reading, as Hain articulates her rights very well. From the interview, proof that Hain gets it:
“Like it or not, I do not have to validate myself to the public for my actions…I have come to the conclusion that this is an impossible task. It may sound arrogant, but…the Constitution has guaranteed me a right, and there is nothing more to say about it.”
Amen.
Rev. Jesse Jackson Pushes for Even More Gun Laws In Chicago, IL
Posted by: | CommentsChicago, IL is known for its draconian gun laws, yet that’s not enough for the Rev. Jesse Jackson. Citing more than 500 homicides in Chicago this year, Jackson makes the case that more, not less, gun control is needed.
Jackson and Jennifer Bishop, from the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, outlined a five part process to further restrict gun rights in Chicago. Those steps are: Read More→
Democrats Afraid of People Carrying Firearms at the Presidential Inauguration
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under “This person got elected?” comes the UPI story about delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton from D.C. Norton thinks that people will misunderstand the recent change in the Department of the Interior policy that allows citizens to carry a concealed firearm if it is allowed under the local jurisdiction’s laws. Norton is afraid that normally law abiding citizens will carry a concealed firearm to the inauguration. D.C. does not allow citizens to carry a concealed firearm, so under the current policy, no citizen is allowed to carry a concealed firearm at the inauguration.
Since someone who would do harm to the president is a criminal, and criminals by definition do not obey the laws, it would seem that Norton is only worried about stupid, but law abiding, citizens. That’s kind of funny because I am worried about stupid politicians.
Think Ammunition Prices Are High Now? Ammo Prices Set to Go Up Again on January 1
Posted by: | Comments
I got an e-mail from Natchez Shooters Supplies warning of another ammunition price increase set to take place on January 1, 2009. The price increases come from the factory and range from 5-12%. This falls in line with my prior posts on ammunition price increases.
Natchez is a good business and I do not believe they are trying to gouge their customers. But, with the current demand on ammunition, prices do rise. So, if you are thinking about buying some ammo, sooner rather than later might be the smart investment.
Ruger to Unveil a Show-Stopper at the 2009 SHOT Show?
Posted by: | CommentsIn recent years, Sturm, Ruger & Co. have deviated from the larger, bulkier pistols they were known for and have been producing slimmer and smaller pistols such as the SR-9 and the LCP. The SR-9 has achieved moderate success, while the Ruger LCP has been an undeniable sensation.
The question is: What will Ruger introduce at the 2009 SHOT Show? Read More→
