The Rhino fires from the bottom chamber (6:00 position). This is unlike any other handgun. The low-barrel design shifts recoil in-line with the shooter’s forearm and upper arm (No, it won’t crush your body; shatter your arm; or lower your I.Q.; okay, it may do that).

The relocated barrel nearly eliminates shooter felt recoil and muzzle flip and allows the shooter to fire incredibly fast highly-accurate repeat shots from the hard recoiling and powerful .357 Magnum cartridge.
MAR 22, 2011 01:44P.M. The unique Rhino trigger and firing control mechanism results in this revolver operating smoothly (no hammer movement) and in a manner very similar in operation to that of a semi-automatic handgun. Some refer (not accurate) to it as a semi-automatic revolver.

National Rifle Association (NRA) and the California Rifle and Pistol Association (CRPA) representatives attended the meeting, pointed out problems with the proposal, and urged the Board of Supervisors to not take the proposed action. After considering the impacts on hunting brought to their attention at the meeting, the Supervisors agreed to work with NRA, CRPA, and the hunters those associations represent to work to protect hunting on the Feather River levees. The Board voted to delay the proposal’s consideration to allow input from hunters rights groups.

• District 1: Larry Montna • District 2: Stan Cleveland • District 3: Larry Munger – Vice Chairman • District 4: Jim Whiteaker • District 5: James Gallagher – Chairman The simple but surprisingly little known fact is that hunting is one of the safest recreational activities, and that sportsmen have been the backbone of natural resources conservation, and conservation funding, for more than a century. It has become far too difficult for the average hunter to find a place to hunt in California. We must protect all the available hunting lands that still remain, and encourage increases in hunting land and opportunity. The numerous benefits that hunters contribute to California, from stimulating local economies to being by far the largest source of funding for wildlife conservation, should be encouraged, not curtailed.
California Rifle and Pistol Association Sacramento, CA --(Ammoland.com)- Sutter County, California: On March 14, 2011, in a standing room only meeting, the Sutter County Board of Supervisors voted to delay considering a proposed amendment to a firearm discharge ordinance that would expand the County’s existing ban on discharging firearms and archery tackle in certain areas to include levees in the county.
Seventeen years ago the NRA and CRPA joined forces to fight local gun bans and local hunting regulations being written and pushed in California by the gun ban lobby. Their coordinated efforts became the NRA/CRPA “Local Ordinance Project” (LOP) – a statewide campaign to fight ill-conceived local efforts at gun control and educate politicians about available programs that are effective in reducing accidents and violence without infringing on the rights of law-abiding gun owners. The NRA/CRPA LOP has had tremendous success in beating back most of these anti-self-defense proposals.
The Feather River levees are popular hunting grounds, and the proposed amendment would ban hunting there. The proposal apparently stemmed from “levee workers pushing for the ban after encountering gun-toting

In addition to fighting local gun bans, for decades the NRA has been litigating dozens of cases in California courts to promote the right to selfdefense and the 2nd Amendment. In the post Heller and McDonald legal environment, NRA and CRPA Foundation have formed the NRA/CRPA Foundation Legal Action Project (LAP), a joint venture to pro-actively strike down ill-conceived gun control laws and ordinances and advance the rights of firearms owners, specifically in California. Sometimes, success is more likely when LAP’s litigation efforts are kept low profile, so the details of every lawsuit are not always released.

Soon after Republicans in the State Senate in Atlanta voted to give themselves “Constitutional Carry,” a member of Georgia Gun Owners contacted me with some disturbing information.

High Capacity Magazine Freedom Campaign
Jews For The Preservation Of Firearms Ownership Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- JPFO today launches “The High Capacity Freedom Campaign”.
MAR 22, 2011 10:08A.M. First, some background to highlight the hypocrisy and stupidity of a high-capacity magazine ban.
JPFO Launches “High Capacity Magazine Freedom Campaign” by Rabbi Dovid Bendory, Rabbinic Director, Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.
Imagine you bought a Glock 17 9mm pistol a year ago. Your purchase was legal and included two 17-round magazines. Now along come Obama and other “common sense” gun-grabbers with a ban on “high capacity” magazines. The result? Based on the so-called “Assault Weapons” Ban of 1994, a federal mandate declares that after a certain date, the manufacture, sale, or resale of ammunition magazines that hold more than ten rounds is now illegal. Such manufacture, sale or re-sale will be a felony. This is how AWB1 (and high-cap ban) were enacted. Of course, there will be the usual exceptions for law enforcement and military purposes. But Joe or Jane Citizen will find themselves felons for

selling their 17-round mag. Depending on how effective the gun haters are, Joe and Jane may even become felons for not turning in or registering their magazines.
own a firearm that requires magazines, buy at least one “high cap” mag for a commonly owned pistol or rifle. (It may even be one of the fastestappreciating investments you ever make!)
Next imagine that you, with your year-old Glock, are somehow found in possession of a 17-round magazine. When it comes to guns in this country, the government says we’re all guilty until proven innocent.
Why? Because we want the production of all those millions and millions of magazines in the “pipeline” before any ban can take effect. The surge of orders from “High Cap Freedom” will quickly flood the manufacturers. You may not be able to get an original factory mag, but soon reputable accessory manufacturers will begin making them 24/7, and we’ll see new manufacturers enter the market. The result? More magazine choices, at better prices, for all of us. More accessory choices – and millions more existing high cap magazines in circulation before a ban can take effect.
How are you going to prove that you didn’t buy one of those high cap magazines AFTER the ban was instated? Do you have your receipt from the gun shop? Did you save your receipt from that mail order house that sold you a couple of spare magazines before the ban started? Even if you are innocent, this is going to cost you. You’ll be a front page star in the local paper, and your attorney will earn enough to send another kid to college for a year.
Help JPFO launch “High Cap Freedom”. Go down to your gun shop and buy a “high cap” mag immediately! Get on the phone or your computer and place your order with an accessory mail order house right now!
Remember, a “high cap” magazine ban was an integral part of the 1994 anti-gun law. Some States like California and New Jersey still enforce the high cap ban, albeit with oddly differing definitions of “high cap.”
Welcome to “High Cap Freedom”, Phase One. In California, “high capacity” means more than 10 rounds, unless it’s a .22 “tube” magazine, which is exempt, or if you possessed it before the ban, in which case it’s grandfathered. In New Jersey, “high capacity” means 15 rounds, though such a magazine is illegal even if you possessed it prior to the ban and even if you have no gun to put it into. (in NJ If you own a high cap magazine, it is against the law to sell it, destroy it, posses it or turn it in, a complete catch 22 that makes you a felon)
There’s more to come… JPFO will soon reveal our greater strategy. Get busy! “ Freedom is not a spectator sport.” Rabbi Dovid Bendory Rabbinic Director Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership www.jpfo.org Rabbi Bendory is an NRA Certified Firearms Instructor. Copyright 2011 JPFO
Apparently in New Jersey, with 15 rounds you’ll be able to protect yourself and family from the cocaine addict gang that breaks into your home, but in California, 10 rounds will do the job.
About: Jews For The Preservation Of Firearms Ownership Mission is to destroy “gun control” and to encourage Americans to understand and defend all of the Bill of Rights for everyone. Those are the twin goals of Wisconsinbased Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO). Founded by Jews and initially aimed at educating the Jewish community about the historical evils that Jews have suffered when they have been disarmed, JPFO has always welcomed persons of all religious beliefs who share a common goal of opposing and reversing victim disarmament policies while advancing liberty for all.
Meanwhile, the police can continue to carry their 17-round magazines. That’s another part of “common sense” gun control, right? Question: Who is more likely to be on the front lines at the next Columbine or Virginia Tech, the police with their large magazines, or you and me with our 10-round limit? How many rounds do you want when you are on the front line? Is the policeman’s life more valuable than yours and mine? Friends, as a Jew, I have a deeply ingrained distrust of any government that promises it will “protect me.” The history of the Twentieth Century teaches us that “gun control” registration schemes lead to political decisions to allow some populations to protect themselves while others are disarmed. Gun control is inexorably tied to malevolent citizen disarmament. See: “INNOCENTS BETRAYED”
JPFO is a non-profit tax-exempt educational civil rights organization, not a lobby. JPFO’s products and programs reach out to as many segments of the American people as possible, using bold tactics without compromise on fundamental principles. Visit www.JPFO.org – Copyright JPFO 2011
JPFO’s answer to all of this? The “High Capacity Freedom Campaign” – “High Cap Freedom” for short.

an unknown gunman fired from across the Rio Grande. (In a January 2011 letter to the U.S. House of Representatives’ Judiciary and Homeland Security committees, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott described the shooting as “yet another incident involving cartel-related gunfire.”)

Janet Napolitano UnderExaggerating US Border Violence
• In June 2010, El Paso’s City Hall was struck by at least seven shots fired from across the border in Ciudad Juarez, the epicenter of Mexico’s ongoing drug war.
MAR 22, 2011 09:51A.M.
• In August 2010, at least one stray bullet from Mexico hit a building at the University of Texas at El Paso.
Janet Napolitano Under-Exaggerating US Border Violence By Chuck Norris
• In October 2010, U.S. tourist David Hartley reportedly was shot by a Mexican gunman. • In November, the University of Texas at Brownsville temporarily canceled classes because of ongoing gunfire across the border in Matamoros, Mexico. And what about violence in other border states? Exaggerating border violence?
AmmoLand Gun News I agree with Rep. Ben Quayle, R-Ariz., who said that for cattle ranchers, the daily reality of drug and human smugglers traversing their property is “far more impacting” than Napolitano conveys. Quayle went on to say, “Statistics and averages might mean something to government bureaucrats and analysts in Washington, but try telling the people who deal with these realities every day that the violence along the border has subsided.”
Dallas, TX - -(Ammoland.com)- After a decade of playing one on television, I, along with my brother Aaron, was blessed a few months ago to become a real Texas Ranger in the presence of Gov. Rick Perry, fellow Texas Rangers and many others. Perry mentioned at that induction: “As the drug cartels have turned up the heat on the other side of that border over the past few years, we have invested significant state resources to secure our border, looking to local police departments, county sheriffs, game wardens and even Texas Military Forces. However, when it was time to take the fight to the bad guys, there was only one choice to lead our efforts, so we formed our Ranger recon teams. It is reassuring to know that our Rangers are on the job, especially in light of ongoing reports of deteriorating conditions, with kidnappings, assassinations and terroristic acts just miles from Texas communities.”
Because of the feds’ ineptness and passivity, it’s no wonder that half the states in our union are taking matters into their own hands regarding border enforcement and immigration. Arizona-style laws have been proposed in approximately 24 other states. A total of 346 laws and resolutions related to immigration were approved by state lawmakers in 2010, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. More than 100 immigration-related bills are pending in Texas.
Only weeks later, on Jan. 31, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano asked public officials to stop exaggerating claims of violence on the U.S. side of the border and “be honest with the people we serve.” She added: “Let’s stick with the facts. We need to be upfront and clear about what’s really happening along our borders.”
Texas Department of Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples just launched ProtectYourTexasBorder.com, where users can upload pictures and videos about their experiences with suspected drug traffickers at the Mexican border. The goal of the website is to warn the public about not only the dangers to farmers and ranchers but also the potential impacts on the nation’s food supply.
The latest statistics show that 34,000 people have been killed in Mexico because of organized crime and drug trafficking during the past five years alone, and officials expect that number to rise. Yet we don’t expect that escalating violence to increasingly spill over into the U.S.?
According to the Texas Department of Agriculture, at the Texan border alone there are:
Consider just a few recent tragedies in my own state of Texas:
• Close to 8,200 farms and ranches, covering more than 15 million acres.
• In April 2010, on a street in Fort Hancock, Texas, four Hudspeth County employees were working on a remote unpaved road, when
• Producers of beef, fruits and vegetables that are essential to the

nation’s food supply. • Counties that account for about half the state’s fruit and vegetable production and about 4 percent of the state’s total agricultural income. • Farms and ranches that make more than $700 million in agricultural sales every year. Exaggerating border violence? The only ones exaggerating are the feds — under-exaggerating the threat and severity of border violence and over-exaggerating their success of securing the United States’ southwestern border. In fact, this past Thursday, Napolitano continued her same Obamavictorious-song-and-dance act at the U.S.-Mexico Congressional Border Issues Conference, boasting of (as summarized by her office) the Obama administration’s “unprecedented efforts to strengthen security along the Southwest border, which include increasing the number of Border Patrol agents from approximately 10,000 in 2004 to more than 20,700 today.”

But while the Obama administration continues to embellish its record, PolitiFact pointed out that it’s actually stealing its predecessor’s glory: “President George W. Bush was responsible for adding many of the agents on the ground now.” Paul Babeu, sheriff of Pinal County, Ariz., put it well when he said that Napolitano’s talking points about security on the border have “more to do with political pivoting for the 2012 elections than (they do) with what is happening on the border.”

Ms. Napolitano, the truth is it’s you who is misleading the public. Playing down border violence and trumping up Washington’s successes may be effective for campaign rhetoric, but it’s killing our citizens — literally.

The change to proposed law states that a person’s concealed handgun license issued by another state would not be recognized in Texas if the person as established residency in Texas. Snowbirds and other part-time Texans with an out of state concealed carry license, who live at least part of the time in Texas, have enjoyed the privilege of carrying with their home state’s license based on a reciprocal agreement. If HB 356 passes this tradition would effectively end when the licensees reaches the six month residency requirement.

You might recall as recently as two years ago, DPS was extremely behind on processing new and renewing Texas Concealed Handgun Licenses, and Texans sought out of state licenses. This was often required to be able to continue to carry and no fault of the Texan. If HB 356 were to pass the Texas licensee would find his out-of- state-carry license invalid, long before it expires.
