Will You Be Denied Gun Permit for Taking Ambien?

Do you want to risk having your gun rights denied for having taken Ambien? This could happen if you sheriff is provided with this unparalleled fishing expedition.

SEP 15, 2010 08:22P.M. IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED Contact your state representative and deliver the following message. You may find your representative at this link: http://www.grnc.org/contact_reps.htm

Will You Be Denied Gun Permit for Taking Ambien? NC Sheriffs Want Your Medical Records Taking Ambien Could Put You In Law Enforcement Database…

———-Sample Letter—— Dear Representative: I am profoundly opposed to having my prescription records opened to the prying eyes of the state’s sheriffs. Their reasoning for wanting this information is flimsy and unacceptable. If they have reasonable suspicions, they may do as the Constitution prescribes and obtain a search warrant.

Grass Roots North Carolina for Firearms Education North Carolina --(Ammoland.com)- Just as in the past when they have wanted such things as your DNA, the North Carolina Sheriffs’ Association now wants access to your prescriptions.

Please use everything within your power to stop this bad idea from becoming a disastrous law.

Feigning the need to know about your prescriptions in order to monitor for prescription drug abuse and the belief that this in some way will help them prevent overdoses, the NCSA is asking the NC General Assembly for access to the list of anyone prescribed a controlled substance.

Sincerely, A Concerned North Carolina Voter ———-End Sample Letter——

These would include powerful pain killers and sleeping medications such as Ambien. According to The Raleigh “News and Observer” this would affect 30% of the population of this state in the first six months of this year alone. This means that nearly a third of you would now have your sheriff examining your prescription records to decide if he thinks the types and amounts of your medications are appropriate.

Eddie Caldwell, lobbyist for the N.C. Sheriff’s Association, had this to say: “There’s a middle ground where the sheriffs and their personnel working on these drug abuse cases get the information they need in a way that protects the privacy of that information…”

Republicans Now Pledging to Support Pro Gun O’Donnell in Delaware SEP 15, 2010 02:43P.M. Great News: National Republicans Now Pledging to Support Pro Gun O’Donnell in Delaware In other news, New Hampshire race takes wrong turn.

Nikon Hunting Melville, NY --(Ammoland.com)- David and Luke Blanton of Realtree was recently challenged by outdoor celebrity Jimmy Big Time to a friendly shooting competition. Gun Owners of America Jimmy utilized windmills, barometer readings and even an abacus. David and Luke Blanton utilize Nikon’s new Spot On software.

Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- Hopefully, you have already seen our earlier article from today, relaying the good news about pro-gun candidates around the country.

Watch the episode online now at www.nikonhunting.com/page/video/1

In Delaware, Christine O’Donnell upset the Washington establishment by defeating the anti-gun Mike Castle, who is one of the most liberal Republicans in the Congress.

About: Nikon Inc. is the U.S. distributor of Nikon sports and recreational optics, world-renowned Nikon 35mm cameras, digital cameras, speedlights and accessories, Nikkor lenses and electronic imaging products.

Last night, the National Republican Senatorial Committee indicated there would be no money for O’Donnell, and so we asked you to pound Sen. John Cornyn to demand that he reverse course.

Well, Fox News is now reporting that things have changed, as the NRSC has done an about face after getting “peppered” by angry constituents. The NRSC is now singing a different tune. Here’s what a Congressional newspaper, The Hill, is reporting in our nation’s capital today:

Brought to you by - AMMO LAND.COM - Firearms & Shooting Sports News Ammo Land.com Submit Gun, Ammo and Shooting Related News at Ammo Land.com

[Sen. John] Cornyn said that O’Donnell, the conservative insurgent candidate who upset Rep. Mike Castle last night in the Delware GOP Senate primary, would have the NRSC’s backing like any other Republican Senate candidate.

“Let there be no mistake: The National Republican Senatorial Committee — and I personally as the committee’s chairman — strongly stand by all of our Republican nominees, including Christine O’Donnell in Delaware,” Cornyn said in a statement. The chairman of Senate Republicans’ campaign efforts said he’d spoken Wednesday morning to O’Donnell and informed her of the NRSC’s support, which included the maximum allowable $42,000 in direct donations to her campaign.

This is huge! Especially, considering that the NRSC had earlier indicated it would NOT help O’Donnell in her race to win “Joe Biden’s” seat in the general election.

Huge Win For Gun Rights in Delaware

Thank you all for your activism!

SEP 15, 2010 02:36P.M. In the New Hampshire primary, early returns gave Ovide Lamontagne the edge toward victory. But in late vote counting, the totals have switched and now he is currently behind by less than 1,000 votes.

Huge Win For Gun Rights in Delaware Christine O’Donnell Adds to String of GOA Victories.

GOA will continue to update gun owners around the country as to how these hot races are shaping up. To stay current, please be sure to visit www.goapvf.org . And, if you are not yet a member of the organization called “the only no compromise gun lobby in Washington,” please consider joining GOA today for a minimum contribution of only $20 at http://gunowners.org/ordergoamem.htm. Gun Owners of America In Liberty, Tim Macy Vice-Chairman

Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- Gun Owners of America-backed candidate Christine O’Donnell completed a dramatic come-from-behind victory in Tuesday’s Delaware Senate primary.

Paid for by Gun Owners of America. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.

O’Donnell was up against a member of Congress who earned the notorious distinction as the most anti-gun Republican in the House. But despite the backing of the Republican establishment in Washington, Mike Castle was handily defeated by pro-gunner O’Donnell.

Gun Owners of America 8001 Forbes Place, Suite 102 Springfield, VA 22151 Phone: 703-321-8585 FAX: 703-321-8408 www.gunowners.org

The implications of this win are huge, not only for the next session of Congress, but also in a potential lame-duck session later this year. Because this is a special election to fill the seat of Vice-President Joseph Biden, O’Donnell will take office immediately following the November election if she defeats her Democrat opponent.

About: Gun Owners of America (GOA) is a non-profit lobbying organization formed in 1975 to preserve and defend the Second Amendment rights of gun owners. GOA sees firearms ownership as a freedom issue. `The only no comprise gun lobby in Washington’ – Ron Paul

Anti-gun congressional Democrat leaders seem intent on a lame duck session, but the addition of just a single constitutionalists to the Senate will go a long way towards stopping any gun control from sneaking through in the waning days of 2010.

Brought to you by - AMMO LAND.COM - Firearms & Shooting Sports News Ammo Land.com Submit Gun, Ammo and Shooting Related News at Ammo Land.com

Unfortunately, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) has already tried to pull the rug out from under Christine O’Donnell by announcing that the Committee will not support her campaign in the general election. It is an outrage that the NRSC would have spent millions of dollars on an anti-gunner, while it is not interested in helping a pro-gun constitutionalists.

Republicans Now Pledging to Support Pro Gun O’Donnell in Delaware Tags: Delaware, Elections, GOA, Gun Owners of America, Gun Voters, Pro Gun Republicans

But Christine won the primary without their help, and GOA will be sure to work with its grassroots network to drive support to the O’Donnell campaign. You can contact NRSC Chairman John Cornyn at info@nrsc.org to express your outrage at this decision. Also on Tuesday, Ovide Lamontagne defeated the establishment candidate in the Republican primary in New Hampshire, in a race to replace retiring anti-gun Senator Judd Gregg. Lamontagne also earned

the endorsement of GOA.

8001 Forbes Place, Suite 102 Springfield, VA 22151 Phone: 703-321-8585 FAX: 703-321-8408 www.gunowners.org

The O’Donnell and Lamontagne wins add to a string of victories for GOA-backed candidates this year in Senate primaries in Nevada, Kentucky, Utah, Colorado, as well as the non-primary in Florida (where Marco Rubio chased Gov. Charlie Crist out of the primary — and out of the Republican Party).

All of the candidates supported by GOA-PVF were opposed by the Republican establishment in their respective primaries. And all of these candidates agree with Gun Owners of America that it is not enough simply to defeat anti-gunners in elections. They must also be replaced with leaders who will fight to restore Constitutional liberties that have been under attack for decades. (You can visit www.goapvf.org to keep up with GOA candidates.)

It is safe to say that the 2010 elections may be the most important in our lifetimes, with America’s constitutional republic hanging in the balance.

And make no mistake, if establishment Republicans like Mike Castle were victorious in their primaries, it would not matter which party was in control of Congress. Both parties in Washington are guilty of growing the federal government at the expense of the peoples’ liberty.

But candidates supported by GOA — pro-freedom champions like O’Donnell, Sharron Angle, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio, to name just a few — have no intention of coming to Washington to blend into the woodwork. If most or all of these candidates win in November, it will go a long way toward slamming the brakes on the anti-gun, socialist Obama agenda.

Anti-Gunner Mike Castle Defeated In Delaware

Geneseo, IL – -(Ammoland.com)- ArmaLite, Inc. proudly celebrates the 10th anniversary of its legendary AR-50A1 with a special offering. We have made just FIFTY 50’s in a one-of-a-kind color and as part of a special package.

SEP 15, 2010 01:51P.M.

The anniversary rifle includes a custom powder coating color process in silver-black crackle finish. The anniversary dates are laser etched on the upper receiver.

Anti-Gunner Mike Castle Defeated In Delaware

Each Anniversary AR-50 is part of a special package including an ArmaLite 30mm scope mount; Armalite 15, 30, and 50 minute scope rails; a bipod, a monopod; 100 rounds of spent GI brass; and a certificate of authenticity. See your ArmaLite dealer for details. The anniversary AR-50 isn’t just a pretty rifle… it’s one of the finest highpowered rifles in the world. The heart of the AR-50A1 is its metallic stock to action interface. The patented V-block stock and bedding wedge assure absolute strength and repeatability for superb accuracy. The aluminum stock reinforces the receiver almost like a bench-rest sleeve. Accuracy? It’s not just in the bedding. Independent testing has proven the AR-50A1 muzzle brake to be the best in the industry for both recoil control and accuracy. It scrapes away turbulent muzzle gasses and lets the bullet break into clean air for amazing accuracy.

National Association for Gun Rights

Strength, accuracy, and stability make the AR-50A1 stunningly durable and accurate for decades of hard use. You’ll be proud to hand it down to the next generation.

Colorado -–(Ammoland.com)- We did it! Last night the most anti-gun Republican in Congress – Mike Castle (RINO – DE) – was defeated! I’m very proud to say that the National Association for Gun Rights PAC sent tens of thousands of postcards and e-mails exposing Mike Castle’s anti-gun record and urging Delaware Republicans to vote against antigun activist Castle.

Armalite 10th Anniversary Ar-50a1 Rifle About: ArmaLite has one of the broadest product lines in the firearms industry. We manufacture and sell semiautomatic rifles in a variety of calibers including 5.56mm and 7.62mm, long range super-accurate bolt action rifles in calibers including .308 Winchester, 300 Winchester, 338 Lapua, and 50 BMG, and classic 9mm pistols. Visit: www.armalite.com

Castle’s defeat is a very clear sign that voters are fed up with the anti-gun policies of the liberals in Congress. Why is this such a big deal?

Brought to you by - AMMO LAND.COM - Firearms & Shooting Sports News Ammo Land.com Submit Gun, Ammo and Shooting Related News at Ammo Land.com

It’s simple: Mike Castle made a career of supporting gun control in the House of Representatives, and he wanted to take his anti-gun voting record to the U.S. Senate.

Armalite 10Th Anniversary AR-50A1 Rifle

Whether it’s working to re-authorize the Bill Clinton Gun Ban – which banned an entire class of semi-automatic hunting and sporting rifles from citizen ownership – to conspiring with Sarah Brady in another power-play to strip gun owners of their rights, or hob-nobbing at Democrat White House receptions with the freedom-hating media and left-wing elite, Mike Castle has made a career of supporting gun control.

To make matters worse, he’s did all this this as a “Republican.” But last night, the voters of Delaware gave Castle and his anti-gun agenda the pink slip.

They say a wounded animal is most dangerous when it’s backed into a corner, and it’s pretty clear we’ve backed the anti-gunners into a corner. Right now they’re at their most dangerous.

Gun rights activist like you and me must re-double our legislative and electoral efforts in the the coming months and weeks.

VickersTactical.com Fayetteville, NC --(Ammoland.com)- I get requests on a weekly basis from new shooters that want to attend basic level pistol or carbine classes taught by me.

For liberty, Dudley Brown PAC Director National Association for Gun Rights PAC

Unfortunately due to my busy schedule including TV filming as well as teaching various classes locally and around the USA I rarely teach basic classes regardless of the location.

About: The National Association for Gun Rights was founded in 2001 to serve as a grassroots gun rights group focusing on building state-level gun rights groups and lobbying for pro-gun federal legislation. Brown has been a gun lobbyist for more than 17 years. Visit: www.nationalgunrights.org

This has created a dilemma as many of these potential students would love to attend my level 1 classes as well other specialty classes I offer but they have no means to do so. Until now.

Editorial Disclaimer: The opinions and views expressed above do not necessarily reflect those of the staff, AmmoLand Shooting Sports News, or other sponsors and partners. See the Editorial-Review Process for more details.

After careful consideration I have decided to allow select prior students of mine to teach basic level pistol and carbine classes under the Vickers Shooting Method (VSM) banner. These students have demonstrated a firm grasp of the key marksmanship fundamentals and in fact all of them have attended multiple Vickers Tactical classes taught by me. Many of them are teaching classes already on a local level but this new program is designed to get them exposure from my website and direct new or basic level shooters to them in order to get these students up to speed and ready to take a level 1 class from me. Initially only a handful of regionally endorsed instructors will be authorized to use the VSM logo in their basic classes but I expect the program to grow as time goes on and more qualified candidates become available.

This will set them up for success and be ready to take it to the next level when they attend a class taught by me. To answer a variety of questions relating to this new program I

have come up with a F.A.Q. list below;

themselves in a professional manner. My guess is you will be very pleased with the training you receive. If you have any questions or comments, good or bad, please contact me direct via the contact info on VickersTactical.com.

1) What classes do the regional instructors teach? Most of them teach a variety of classes but the only classes that have the Vickers Shooting Method approval (VSM) are basic level pistol and basic level carbine. This means these classes will be taught using my unique guidelines and will prepare students for level 1 classes taught by me. Also if certificates are issued the VSM logo is authorized for use on the certificate.

Always remember this program is designed for you, the shooter, and to provide you more opportunities to learn what I feel is the best way to master your fighting firearm. This approach has worked well for countless civilians, law enforcement and military personnel around the globe. And it now has a name – the Vickers Shooting Method.

2) Is a student required to attend a basic class before attending a level one class? Not necessarily. I currently allow students who have attended formal training from another source such as a Police academy or Military basic training to bypass the basic classes and come to a level 1 class. In addition students who have attended training by other recognized instructors can qualify for level 1 training. Essentially this part of class pre reqs remains unchanged. The VSM regional endorsed instructor program is designed specifically for those shooters who have no formal training and want to learn the combat marksmanship fundamentals correctly, the first time. This is a perfect setup for a new CCW permit holder for instance. The Vickers Shooting Method has been proven successful at the highest level and is simple and easy to understand. The regional instructors can guide a new shooter thru the basics and get them on the right track, regardless if they decide to attend future training taught by me or not.

Vickers Shooting Method (VSM) Regional Endorsed Instructors

3) Are the Regionally endorsed instructors Vickers Tactical employees? No they are not. Vickers Tactical Inc. represents me and my products and classes – If a class has the Vickers Tactical name attached to it then that class is being taught by me- period. Only on select occasions will I have an assistant instructor helping and that will be primarily for safety reasons – all the instruction will be done by me. The Vickers Shooting Method name was put into use to identify the course as being designed and approved by me but not actually taught by me. It is also the students guarantee the course is being taught using my 3 unique marksmanship fundamentals. 4) What are the prices of the classes taught by the regionally endorsed instructors? Contact the instructor nearest to you regarding course structure and price but every effort has been made to keep the class price reasonable and consistant across the country. 5) How do I find out about classes in my area? Use the contact info for the regional instructor closest to you via this webpage to find out his schedule. In addition a special VSM regional endorsed instructor sub forum will go live shortly on M4carbine.net. 6) Will you ever teach any more basic classes? Only occasionally at ranges very close to my home near Ft Bragg, NC. My prices however will be at my normal class rates not at the reduced prices of the regional instructors. My intent is to fully support the regional instructors and the VSM program as this means I will have better and more competent students in my level 1 classes.

Serious Grouse Hunting: Book 1 – Ruffed Grouse Hunting Tips Revealed Just In Time For Grouse Season.

“We wrote this book for several reasons,” explained author Jay Kumar. “One is we love to grouse-hunt. Two is that we wish we’d read a book like this, and since no one had written one, we did. Three, the how-to info in the sport seriously needed updating. And a fourth reason is that we’re eternal students of the sport, and really want this book to start some new conversations about grouse hunting and upland hunting generally.” “We’ll keep those conversations going at our website, SeriousBirdHunting.com. We just can’t get enough bird hunting info, and we know we’re not alone!” Co-author Brendan Haines added, “As Serious Bird Hunters, we love hammering ditch chickens just like everyone else.

Both are entrepreneurs who make sure those few precious months of grouse season are spent as much as possible in the woods.

Brendan Haines is a successful entrepreneur in the outdoor advertising business, and was born to be a Serious Grouse Hunter. He was either a bird or a fox in a former life, has bird instincts Jay and probably some dogs would kill for, and also is a heck of a shot. He got real Serious about grouse at age 12 when he and his father bought a sweet Spanish 28ga SxS and Brendan began stalking the thunderbirds through the woods mano a mano. He’s an avid student of everything grouse and yes, is responsible for roping his buddy Jay into this crazy sport.

Michigan Department of Natural Resources Michigan --(Ammoland.com)- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) today announced the results of an initial review of petitions they received to remove grey wolves in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan from the federal endangered species list, saying the information in the petitions may warrant delisting species.

This finding was in response to petitions submitted in spring 2010 by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and Safari Club International. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DNRE) supported these petitions, and DNRE Wildlife Division officials are pleased that the USFWS has moved one step closer to removing wolves in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan from the list of endangered species.

The recovery goals established by the USFWS have been met since 1999, and the current wolf population in Michigan and Wisconsin exceeds the recovery goal by more than 10 times.

“Wolves are fully recovered in the Great Lakes region and we urge the USFWS to move forward in a deliberate process to delist wolves,” said DNRE Director Rebecca Humphries.

The wolf remains federally endangered, but this finding is an important step in toward delisting, Humphries said. The next step after this 90-day finding will be a full status review by USFWS. The full status review will determine whether delisting is warranted or not. Over the next 60 days, the DNRE will provide scientific data regarding Michigan’s wolf population to the USFWS to help support delisting.

SEP 15, 2010 10:39A.M. Horner Wins Tactical MultiGun Nationals Shooting Competition, Again

A similar series of events occurred after Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota petitioned the USFWS to delist in 2006. A full status review determined that delisting was warranted, and the wolf was removed from the list in 2007. Federal courts overturned the delisting and the wolf was placed back on the list in 2008. “Since the 2008 we have learned more about wolves in Michigan,” said Chris Hoving, DNRE’s endangered species coordinator. “The next delisting effort will incorporate the most recent science on the genetics, distribution and number of wolves in the Great Lakes.” For more information on wolves in Michigan, go to www.michigan.gov/wolves. The Department of Natural Resources and Environment is committed to the conservation, protection, management, and accessible use and enjoyment of the state’s environment, natural resources, and related economic interests for current and future generations.
