Michael Bane’s Podcast: Obituary for John Ross. (UPDATE)

May 5, 2022 Miguel.GFZ 0 comments

If you don’t want to hear the whole podcast, go straight to 00:28 12. He summarizes pretty well the importance of John Ross in shaping what we know as Gun Culture today. It is hard for the young generation to understand how much our rights were under attack and what kind of abuses were done in the name of “gun safety” and “preventing gun violence”. Most will know about Waco, possibly Ruby Ridge, but there were many others that never made it to the Big Media Newscasts. Basically, if you owned too many guns (number was never determined) or the “wrong type,” you were considered fair target for abuse, incarceration or elimination.

There is a shot of Gentleman’s Jim in my future. Probably tonight after work and ahead of the long weekend.

UPDATE: I forgot. If you are too busy or too lazy to listen to the podcast, the great news appears to be that John Ross’ last book “Cold Resolve” is in the hands of the publishers.

And I am getting one no matter what.

Center Of Mass Car Gun Safes Upgrade.

May 5, 2022 Miguel.GFZ 5 comments

Reader Ratus was not happy with the simple lock that came with the COM safe (and probably the same goes for many others of the type) so he upgraded the lock.  I am copy and pasting his original email and links here.

Okay, I’ve got some updates for you, it can be done but it’s not exactly a drop in replacement.

I will not call it a “pick proof” lock, but it requires a specialty pick and practice vs the stock one that could be picked almost any type of wire

So, I received my locks from eBay from two different sellers, but only one out of the three fits.

Also, the replacement is slightly taller.

Of the one that fits it’s a different tail piece then the current square one. So you can reuse the stock hook.

But, with about 15-20 minutes with a hacksaw and a file I made it work.

Mostly.

This when I found out that it is slightly taller than the stock one.

A trip to Lowe’s fixed that with the addition of a washer to take up the difference.

It works and still holds the same amount as before.  A nice feature is that it’s key retaining in the open position, so you can’t leave it unlocked and think it’s locked.

A Dremel would probably be faster, but I wanted to see if it could be done with the most basic of tools. Of course a vise is very helpful, too.

All together it’s just over $10 with tax for everything.

I’ve attached an album, you can use everything except the pistol photo.

Also, I don’t get anything from the ebay seller.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you very much, Ratus. I keep saying this blog has some of the best readers out there and you guys keep proving me right.

This is why Florida’s anti-grooming bill is so important

Remember, this wasn’t happening according to the media.

She got found out and got fired.

When I was in middle school we didn’t discuss sexual topics with out teachers and then draw flags celebrating our sexual identities and neither should kids today.

I’m glad the parents are pushing back.

Fire all the groomer teachers.
