It wasn't. Spartan fans claim there is another clock which had 0:00.00.00.00.01 seconds on it or something insane like that; but we all know it's the booking services that couldn't let Western Michigan win. I can't stand Michigan fans and all their "Hail to the Victors!" bullshit. Fucking annoying! I hope they get their clocks cleaned during the season! It will be one of the rare times I root for Oklahoma or Ohio State, but I think most of the nation hates Michigan now because of this idiocy!

And, my LGS just announced they are selling suppressors to GOA members with only a 4473, no Form 4!! I am going to pull the pulled the trigger on a YHM Turbo K-RB and maybe one for my .22s next week sometime next month (remember I also bought a 92FS last week!). Gotta strike while the iron is hot!! Turbo K NOW with REDUCED BLOWBACK! - YHM.mp4

As mentioned, I have a nice leather shoulder holster I picked up nearly 30 years ago from Brass Alley in Sarajevo...

Well, after years of wanting one, I finally found an Italian-made Beretta 92FS at a decent price! Full disclosure, I was never really a fan of this pistol when I had to carry it on active duty. I always found the grip to be too large, and preferred the Glock (and later XD) or a 1911 over it. It wasn't until I got a Walther P1 a year or so ago, and a bud of mine was showing me the 92FS he was carrying a few weeks ago, that I got the bug to grab one. I wanted an Italian one over a US made version, and a FS over a F. A coworker mentioned having one, and I told them to let me know if they felt like selling it. They offered it at a good price ($500) and as it looks like it had a very low round count, there was no way I could pass on it. I am searching for a third mag (again, prefer an Italian-made one) as my shoulder holster from Sarajevo holds two extra mags. I may have a lead on one; but if anyone has an extra they're willing to part with let me know. I also have to admit handling it does bring back some fond memories. The manual of arms is still intuitive despite it being over two decades since I shot one. Some things you just don't forget!

The only way she'll get my vote!

A US airman who was arrested twice, once on the steps of the US Capitol while calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, was officially criminally charged Monday for his comments, according to a charging document his attorney shared with CNN. Maj. Jason Watson faces the following charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, according to the document: three violations of Article 88 for alleged "contemptuous" remarks about Trump, five violations of Article 92 for allegedly disobeying orders and two violations of Article 133 for alleged conduct unbecoming an officer. An Air Force spokesperson confirmed the charges on Tuesday... https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/trump-criticism-leads-rare-criminal-001719021.html

Concur all. I have shot a YHM Turbo-K RB at Quiet in the Capitol, an annual free suppressed-only shooting event hosted by Capitol Armory in the Austin area to "test-fire firearms equipped with suppressors from many major manufacturers, speak with industry representatives, and compare products before purchasing" a couple of years back, and thought it was perfect for my needs. Suppressors being part of the NFA is ridiculous, I don't think even SBRs/SBSs belong on that list. In fact, none of it does; but suppressors have nothing to with organized crime (the original alleged purpose of the Act) nor did it increase accountability and traceability for "particularly powerful or concealable weapons." The GCA of 1968, in response to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, is equally idiotic. There is NO definitive proof that either Act reduced gun crime. The biggest drivers of the decline in gun-related crime appear to be improved policing, the end of the crack era that fueled much of the violence in the 1980s and early 1990s, demographic shifts and other social changes such as the increased incarceration of repeat violent offenders rather than any single gun-control law. But back to the point, once the ATF pulls its cranium out of its fourth point-of-contact, I will be likely be running to my favorite LGS to pick up two supressors as quickly as I can. I've put it off for far too long, and the removal of a Form 4 will be the catalyst of my next spending spree!

I went by my local gun shop on Monday and as they still haven't received guidance from the ATF on the ruling, they are still requiring a Form 4 for suppressors. The owner, a bud, recommended waiting a week or so until said guidance is received. Many FFLs are doing the same. However, another bud randomly walked in while I was there and bought his first suppressor. He was in an out in about an hour, they took care of all the application requirements and it was approved while he waited. This caused two dilemmas for me, am I OK with the ATF having a record of my NFA item via the Form 4, or do I wait until all that is needed is a 4473 which stays with my local gun store unless they close shop. The second is do I buy my first suppressor (yes, I am lagging on this due to the NFA registration) for a .22 (which I am more likely to use) or my 5.56 hopefully-soon legal SBR (if Form 1s follow suite on the same ruling)? I have debated getting a suppressor for years, mainly due to the NFA documentation. I had a bad experience when the ATF allowed pistol braces to be registered without the $200 tax stamp (before the Big Beautiful Bill nullified that). They screwed up my paperwork and I just forgot about that until I got a rejection notice in the mail two years later. I was not going to refile at that point as the brace worked for my needs and I didn’t want to go through that headache again even though I knew it would be easier the second time around. At this point, I’m just going to wait. I know there will be a mad run on suppressors once the ATF puts out its guidance, but I’m in no rush. Much like my SBR, it’s a nicety but not anything I absolutely must have; and I can be patient...

DOJ Says Lawful Gun Owners Can Carry in Post Offices For decades, gun owners have generally been told that carrying a firearm into a U.S. Post Office is illegal. The Justice Department now says that isn't what federal law actually says. In a significant legal opinion issued August 12, 2026, the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel concluded that federal law permits otherwise law-abiding citizens to carry constitutionally protected firearms for self-defense inside post offices that are generally open to the public. Even more importantly, DOJ concluded that the U.S. Postal Service cannot enforce its separate regulation that purports to ban firearms on postal property without a self-defense exception. There are some important limitations here, and this isn't the same thing as the Supreme Court striking down the post office gun ban. But this is a major change in the federal government's position… (Full story at title link)

There's one across the street from my office!

The decision does not apply to everyone nationwide for the time being. It applies to the specific plaintiffs in the consolidated cases Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF and Jensen v. ATF, along with certain affiliated entities. From the Silencer Shop Foundation case: Silencer Shop Foundation Gun Owners of America (GOA) Gun Owners Foundation Palmetto State Armory SilencerCo Weapons Research B&T USA Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition (FRAC) From the Jensen case: Texas State Rifle Association (TSRA) Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) FPC Action Foundation Hot Shots Custom, LLC The injunction also includes these plaintiff states: Alaska Georgia Idaho Indiana Kansas Louisiana Montana North Dakota Oklahoma South Carolina South Dakota Texas (God bless!!) Utah West Virginia Wyoming The ruling concerns NFA registration and approval requirements for: Suppressors (silencers) Short-barreled rifles (SBRs) Short-barreled shotguns (SBSs) "Any Other Weapons" (AOWs) in certain portions of the case. It does not eliminate NFA regulation of machine guns or destructive devices. However, the sources I found do not say that every person residing in those states are automatically covered simply because they live there! One legal analysis specifically notes that coverage depends on whether a person falls within a protected category under the injunction, such as a member, customer, agency, or other covered party. In short, the organizations directly affected are current and future members and customers of GOA, Gun Owners Foundation, TSRA, FPC Action Foundation, CCRKBA, Silencer Shop Foundation, Palmetto State Armory, SilencerCo, B&T USA, FRAC, and Hot Shots Custom, plus their members and customers as specified by the injunction.

So, a national police force like many countries have?!?
