Glockworx & Zev Technologies Unveil new Glock .22LR Conversion Kit at SHOT Show 2012. Plus, new Glockworx replacement slide for Glocks.

As most of you already know, SHOT Show 2012 was last week. There seems to have been a lot of great new products out there. Don’t quote me on it, I wasn’t there unfortunately. Maybe if this Blog takes off, then I’ll be able to make it one year. But for now, I’m stuck with reposts of other more fortunate firearms enthusiasts and people in the firearms industry. I haven’t done my part by doing more research on the event, but I am sure I’ll be posting more new products as I hear about them.

SHOT Show 2012

Ever since SHOT Show 2012, I started getting some hits regarding Glockworx. Keywords like “Glockworx SHOT Show 2012” and “Glockworx fulcrum trigger” were among a few of the popular ones. I decided to check out what was so intriguing at the Glockworx / Zev Technologies booth and I discovered this gem of a video featuring my buddy Ray over at Glockworx. This looks very very interesting since there was only one offering of a Glock .22LR conversion kit. This should be a hit on the market with rising ammo prices and the low cost.

Portantino submits Long Gun Open Carry Ban AB1527. Don’t blame Open Carry advocates ! Its a failure of our government, not of our citizens.

AB1527 Long Gun Open Carry Ban

Well, we all knew this was coming. After the Open Carry ban on handguns was put into effect beginning January first of this year, there’s no surprise when anti-gun politicians realized they missed a spot. Enter AB1527. After all, they’re there to create new laws, not to understand existing legislation, nor to represent their constituents. Of course, that was sarcasm. Unfortunately many of my fellow citizens are just as disgusted as I am with how these imbeciles (Portantino , et a.l)  are unable to comprehend basic common sense and logic. It’s like a prerequisite of being a politician is to have the inability to produce a logical train of thought. Of course there are a handful of politicians who actually do try to serve the people, but unfortunately they are among the few.

With the ranting aside, let’s see what we’ve got going on with this new proposed bill. Basically it’s to clean up yet another poorly written bill. AB144 was the ban on Unloaded Open Carrying of handguns in public, introduced by Portantino, signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown on October 10th, 2011, effective January 1st, 2012 . Of course being an expert on firearms, Portantino forgot to include long guns into his ban. The bill was so poorly written, that Portantino had to come up with another bill to finish what he started. He can’t even correctly write laws that pertain to his interests! I call this the “Oops, I missed a spot” bill. Continue Reading
