Reloading vs. buying ammo during Obama rule.

 Like everybody, I am not having the easiest time finding ammo for the AR-15 (.223), or for the .308

 I ordered a Dillon 650 multistage reloader, but it will not come for 8-12 weeks. Even then, reloading only saves money if you do not overspend on your supplies. I have been shopping for ammunition like crazy. Having a hard time finding it. And going crazy.

 Most of the .223 ammunition I have found is between .75 cents and $1 a round. On bulk ammo .com a thousand rounds was going for $905. At small gun stores I found boxes of twenty  for $15.95. At the gun show a box of 500 was going for $435 (and it was selling like crazy). People are showing up to the gun shows with handcarts hoping to find almost anything. (I saw people buying Wolf ammo for $10 a box). This is in the Willamette Valley in western Oregon.

  And then there is me. I am just as hungry for ammo as everyone else but I'll be damned if I am going to pay to the gougers just because they think they can profit from the needy. Don't get me wrong. I believe in supply and demand, but the ammunition manufacturers have not seemed to raise their prices to the dealers. Over the last four weeks I have only been able to get my hands on about 1700 rounds, but I have only paid .30-.40 cents a round.

  DILIGENCE and PERSEVERANCE.

  I have been calling box stores and gun stores and checking online. This is a pain in the ass for some, but it pays off. Today I got 100 rounds for 27.78

  Two days ago 160 rounds for 64.00

  The most I have paid for ammo in the last month and a half is $90 for 200 rounds at the NEW Tannerite store in Eugene.

  Places to check:

Wal-Mart

Bi-Mart

Big 5

Check the manufacturer websites.

  Anybody want to trade ammo for your concealed handgun class?

What other good ideas do you have?

Where is a good place to get ammo?

Double Barrel .45 semi-auto

 If you have not seen Arsenal Firearms new .45, now is as good a time as any to go check it out.
Although (even though I have not fired one yet) it is not going to be my first recommendation for a conceal carry firearm for personal defense, it is seriously awesome. I can not wait to get my hands on one. I have watched the YouTube video dozens of times.
 The AF2011-a1 is a 1911 style pistol that is branded as "a new pistol for a new century"
 I want to fire one, but mostly I want to have it sitting in my classroom when I do my concealed handgun classes. I love a good topic of discussion.
  The only reason I would not carry it concealed is the fact that a 1911 is already a good sized pistol. And then, double the width and the weight. But, "oh man" talk about stopping power.
   You can learn more about this pistol at the link below. Someone tell me when they find it for sale. I want one.

REGAL CINEMA APPARENTLY SUPPORTS CRIMINALS!

Sunday (8/5/12) Linda and I went to the Regal Cinemas theater in Eugene, Oregon. I bought the tickets for Total Recall. As we went to pass by the ticket taker, a black haired bimbo, she asked to look into Linda's purse. Surprised, Linda asked, "What for?"

"You know, Colorado and what happened there?"

Linda asked, "So why do you want to look into my purse?"

"Well, you know, like, the Colorado thing and all of that," was the bimbo's reply.

I couldn't restrain myself. "Are you telling me you want all of us who are law abiding to be unarmed so we can be sure to be murder victims?"

Of course she looked shocked at the venomous tone. I felt sorry for her but anger at Regal Cinemas. After a deep breath, she responded. "I have to check the containers, the bags, ahhh, the purses."

I glared at her, "No you don't." But Linda had opened her purse. The bimbo looked in it. It was obvious she had no idea what she was really doing.

When we bought the tickets there was no sign warning of a search.

It came to me the logic was the same as in Colorado. The problem in today's society is not the criminals, it is the law abiding citizens. Regal Cinemas obviously want to support the criminals by giving them total free reign without fear of responsible responsive action by law abiding citizens.

It is my hope and prayer the victims who lived and the families of those victims suffering death as a result of Holmes' Colorado theater shootings sue the theater for creating an environment that made them victims. They had no way to protect themselves.

Back to Eugene, Oregon:  The bimbo did not check the concealed part of Linda's purse. A .38 special. AND she did not check me, a Ruger .380 and a NAA .22 mag. What a bimbo! But more importantly is the attitude of Regal Cinemas which appears to be that they would want to help criminals. It is my hope you all will write them telling them what you think of their apparent policy.

deadly force response

Jake Pirelli wrote on FB: "having JUST passed an online concealed carry class. I'm kinda lost. It was not informative at all. I'd like to know when I can use my gun, and the repercussions that  follow a self defense shooting."

We at oregonconcealed.com do not believe the on line class Jake Pirelli took was one of ours because our class addresses these issues in detail. The quick reply comes from the Oregon Statutes. They in substance say when a person is using unlawful force intended or likely to cause death or serious bodily injury then self-defense or defense of another in that person's presence is justified. We cover this in depth in a new publication that will be available in time for the Oregon State Fair, August 24th.

For more information write Roger Leach or go to our website. Copyright is held in the name of Don Leach, 2012.

An interesting side note is that Oregon does NOT require a online or life class to cover Oregon Laws. At Oregon Concealed Co. we are at this time the only online or live class I know of that does teach the standards for justification of deadly force. For more information please feel free to visit our website or write.

DRIVING ISSUES EXPERIENCE

Excerpt from the book Oregon Concealed

"The following picture of such a license is representative and typical of those who carried them. Mr. Seekins is NOT the Mr. Smith referred to below. I represented Mr. Seekins in many cases which could be a book by itself. It is enough to say that when we eventually approached negotiations with the state of Oregon, Mr. Seekins had over 480 citations concerning his insistence on exercising his interpretation of his constitutional principles."

Deadly Force in Defense - Attacker did NOT have a gun!

An excerpt from the book

Oregon Concealed, due to be out

July, 2012

“She had her hand in its mouth, trying to keep it from ripping at her throat. I don’t know how I had managed to get it cocked, but I put that 22 magnum in the dog’s ear.” He shrugged. “It didn’t even give a yelp. It just folded up. At a glance I could see the other two dogs were still under control.”

When is the handgun ACCESSIBLE in the vehicle?

Pistol Class.

What does accessible mean in the Oregon laws?

"Oregon applies an “accessibility” standard by statute, which in substance declares a handgun in the traveling compartment is “accessible” to all in the vehicle. While the statute is direct and clear, it is generally treated as a presumption that can be overcome factually. For example, is the handgun actually accessible if one does not know it is there? An alternative question is whether the handgun is truly accessible if it is physically being carried by the other person and cannot be accessed? Yet a third question deals with whether the handgun can be accessed in a glove box or console."

These questions are answered in the book Oregon Concealed.

John Smith's Pickup Ride

Oldest Son learning the ways of Mountain Men

Troy at age 7   1976

"John Smith was driving down a back county highway in the county of Pandora. The 1965 beat-up, mostly green and rust Chevy farm pick-up had some new interior with black leather bucket seats that had replaced the old bench seat. When he was stopped by County Officer 1 (“CO1”), the officer informed John his left tail light was out. The usual questions followed with John’s presentation of the required documentation, license, and registration. During the stop Mr. Smith indicated his surprise to find the tail light was out, and asked if he could get out and see it, “After all it is my son’s rig. He has done so much work on it to make it street legal so of course I am surprised.”

“Of course,” was the officer’s reply. As the police would say, Mr. Smith “exited the vehicle.” As John slid across the lipped edge of the bucket seat and turned to walk back to the driver side tail light he left the door open.

It was the officer’s turn to be surprised. “John, is that your gun?” There, in what was now plain view, stuck between the bucket seats with the handle showing was what turned out to be a Smith & Wesson long barrel .357 magnum."

ARRESTED!

What does "concealed" mean?

DON & LINDA LEACH

Oregon Concealed Co. Founders

"It is important to understand the “concealed” concept. With the background we have provided above, with no statutory or administrative law definitions of the word “concealed” in the law, it becomes a term of legal art with its common meaning. Flowing from this treatment and attached to the statute is a “mens re” or “criminal mind set.” The alleged “criminal” had to have intended to conceal, to hide, or to secret his gun on his or her person, or within his or her control to be guilty of the crime of wrongfully carrying a concealed handgun.

·     To carry concealed, one has to intend the handgun be hidden from view and/or secreted so that others cannot see it."

Copywrite 2012 by Don Leach, author of Oregon Concealed - The Best Defense

This book will be availabe from oregonconcealed.com in July, 2012 

"The examples in Oregon Concealed are true, taken from my case files as a practicing attorney. However, most of the names and locations have been changed to protect privacy; e.g. John Smith, Jane Smith, Bad Guy 1 or 2, etc. from Somewhere, Pandora County. Police, whether State, County, or City are referred to as Officer 1, 2, etc.

As the author my goal is to give you a complete understanding on the application of the concealed gun laws in Oregon in order that you may make informed decisions. The choice to carry concealed lawfully is the reader’s, but I believe that responsible gun owners can and should follow the law as it is applied today if they want to keep their involvement with enforcement minimal."

Oregon Concealed BOOK by Don Leach

"I have nothing but the highest and even bitter contempt for Oregon presiding judges who pass judicial administrative regulations that keep honest people from carrying handguns for their personal protection in the courthouse and the courtroom. They violate their oath of office and no amount of legal mental masturbation can justify that contemptible practice, which in my perspective is a complete prostitution of themselves and their personal integrity to the other branches of government in violation of my fundamental constitutional right to be able to have immediate protection for myself and third parties in my presence."

UnderTech concealment options.

Another good way to carry your concealed handgun is with Undertech compression shirts and shorts. With a small or midsize handgun, you can carry under you shirt or pants without the worry of someone seeing your handgun. There are many good techniques for concealment, but there is something to be said about being able to reach, stretch, and bend over without someone seeing what you want concealed.
