Bushnell TRS 32 Red Dot Optic Review
Not a bad red dot scope at all, especially for those who don't feel they need the added features of an EOTech or similar holographic sight. Would still use this for work/home defense if I needed to.

LWRC M6IC - DI Rifle First Look and Review
LWRC M6-ICDI:
Upgrades:
Strike Industries Enhanced Dust Cover
Magpul CTR Stock
8.6 lbs Loaded
Commentary:
As soon as I saw this gun I knew I had to have it. I came across this gun at a local store that opened up on the eight weeks ago. I originally went in to look at a Spikes Tactical Punisher complete rifle that they had advertised for sale, however when I handled the spikes it felt extremely heavy and I wasn't a fan of the spiderwebs style hand guard. They had a couple Daniel defense is up on the wall and this LWRC above them. The previous day I had been into a different local gun store looking at BCM complete rifles however was going to hold off until I had handled the Spikes.
As soon as the gun store employee pull the rifle down and I handled it I knew it was going home with me, as soon as you take hold of this rifle the perfect balance and weight distribution is obvious. I also highly enjoy the fact even though this is far from an affordable rifle, there's only a few nitpick things that need to be changed out, I won't even call them upgrades, just personal customizations.
As you can see this rifle comes with a myriad of upgrades directly from the factory, LW RC has a long track history of producing extremely high-quality piston driven rifles and is now entering into the direct impingement market. I'm over the moon to have my hands on this rifle and I'm glad to have come across it.
I won't go into too much, view the video above for my full review - but I'm very excited to have this LWRC M6IC in the Tactical Lunacy Armory.
Here is an extra sneak peak at the 25/300 Meter zero for this gun...
Factory Specifications:
Proprietary DI Bolt Carrier Group
Direct Impingement Gas System
One Piece Free Float Rail
Fully Ambidextrous Lower
Fully NiCorr Treated Upper and Lower
Cold Hammer Forged - Spiral Fluted Barrel

Body Armor Protection Levels Explained
Certification of Body Armor
The National Institute of Justice has a rating system for body armor. As you add layers of a ballistic fiber, such as Aramid fiber, you add protection.
Vests are tested not just for stopping penetration, but also for blunt trauma protection – the blow suffered by the body from the bullet's impact on the vest. Blunt trauma is measured by the dent suffered by a soft clay backstop to the vest – a maximum of 1.7" (44 mm) is allowed.
NOTE: The standard NIJ test rounds are listed below – tested vests stop many other comparable rounds, and lesser threats.
NIJ 0101.05 Standard
Level

Comment

II-A
|
9 mm FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) at ~1,090 fps
(332 mps) .40 S&W Full Metal Jacket at 1,025 fps (312 mps) |
Minimum Recommended...
...for the vast majority of threats encountered on the street, though you would sustain more blunt trauma injury than Level II or III-A. The thinnest and best for concealability and comfort. Level II-A has fallen out of favor, so generally a special order item now. |
II
|
9 mm FMJ, at ~1,175 fps
(~358 mps) .357 JSP at ~ 1,400 fps (~427 mps). | ...between blunt trauma protection, versus cost, and thickness / comfort / concealability. Handles the blunt trauma of higher velocity +P rounds better. What we recommend most often for concealable wear. |
III-A
| (~427 mps) .44 Magnum Semi-Jacketed Hollow Point at ~1,400 fps (~427 mps). |
The highest blunt trauma protectionrating in soft body armor. The best for very high-risk situations to cover more of the uncommon or unusual threats.
Minimizes blunt trauma injury to allow more effective return fire. |
It is important to know that Level II-A, II and III-A all stop the overwhelming majority of pistol projectiles you are ever likely to encounter (plus 12 gauge, OO buckshot), and also to know that NO armor is ever 100% ‘bulletproof’ under ALL conceivable circumstances.
However, these ratings often have a safety margin for penetration because blunt trauma is usually the limiting factor in certification. For example, Level II body armor would likely stop the III-A test standard, (9 mm submachine gun at 1400 fps) from actually PENETRATING through the Level II vest. But, the Level II vest would fail on blunt trauma impact (the NIJ deems any dent greater than ~1.7" (~44 mm.) on the soft clay test surface, a FAIL).
So, the advantage in increasing protection Levels from II-A, to II, to III-A, is NOT so much protection from PENETRATION of pistol fire, but a significant reduction in the blunt trauma received.

California Passes Ammo Tax & More Magazine Restrictions...
The State of California has once again gone off the deep end, and has approved a whole range of new gun control bills that will make it even harder on law abiding citizens to own a gun in California.
The California Senate approved a package of bills this week that goes directly after law-abiding gun owners. The bills make the state’s already draconian gun laws even more ridiculous, by outlawing detachable and large-capacity magazines (which they define as anything over 10 rounds), tracking anyone who buys ammunition and reporting orders over 3,000 rounds, imposing large fees for those who do buy ammo, and expanding the category of offenders prohibited from owning guns for 10 years.
One of the most controversial bills will require the State’s residents to submit personal information and a $50 fee anytime they want to purchase ammunition. The State will then determine whether the buyer will be allowed to purchase the ammunition, which means depending on how the background checks come back, the same day purchase of ammunition in California may be a thing of the past.
The California Senate also OK’d a bill that will outlaw the sale, purchase and manufacture of semiautomatic rifles that can accommodate detachable magazines. It also requires that anyone who currently owns one of these weapons, immediately register it with the State.
Guilty until Proven Innocent
This is nothing more than targeting and criminalizing law-abiding gun owners. In no way do any of these laws make it harder for a criminal to acquire ammunition, since most do so through illegal channels to begin with. All these bills will do, is send criminals over the California border, ensuring a larger black market of guns and ammunition to stream into California.
Attorney General Approves Mandated Bullet Stamping That Will Effectively Ban All New Guns
Earlier this week, California Attorney General Kamala Harris officially certified a law that will require all new semiautomatic handguns to use technology that stamps identifying information on bullet casings. Since gun manufacturers are not likely to spend money retrofitting their entire production lines, California has effectively banned the sale of all new guns.
Here are the provisions that have been approved by the California State Senate.
- The state Department of Justice must notify local law enforcement agencies when a person purchases more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition.
- SB 47 by Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, bans so-called “bullet buttons” that are used to get around current laws banning detachable magazines.
- SB 53 by Sen. Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles, to create new state permits that require background checks for buyers of ammunition. Buyers will also have to submit to a $50 permit fee to buy Ammo.
- An additional 10 percent tax on all ammunition sold in California
- SB 374 by Steinberg, D-Sacramento, to ban detachable magazines in rifles. (Yep, even a Ruger 10/22 will be considered an illegal assault weapon)
- SB 396 by Sen. Loni Hancock, D-Berkeley, to prohibit possession of magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
- SB 567 by Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, to change the definition of certain kinds of shotguns to make them assault weapons, thus making them illegal in California.
- SB 683 by Sen. Marty Block, D-San Diego, to require all gun buyers to take a firearm safety class and earn a safety certificate.
- SB 755 by Sen. Lois Wolk, D-Davis, to increase the number of crimes – including offenses related to drug addiction, alcoholism and others – that result in a 10-year ban on being allowed to own a gun.
