When the\nPresident is in town, extraordinary measures are taken and some roads get\nclosed, so it took us a while to get from our hotel to the massive conference\ncenter in Indianapolis where the National Rifle Association\u2019s Annual Meeting is\nbeing held.  The first thing the Evil\nPrincess and I did was cast our votes for Anthony Colandro in hopes of putting\nhim on the board of directors.  I\u2019ve\nknown Anthony for many years and he\u2019s an adamant, role-breaking advocate for law-abiding\narmed citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seismic is a new brand of heavy bullet for caliber ammunition. Here I’m holding their 12 gauge rifled slug, ready to load at right, and expanded at left.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Here’s a prototype of a new shoulder holster from Galco, to be called the Parabellum. Galco also has a new ankle rig for first aid gear — trauma dressing, tourniquet, quick clotting agent — that would be awfully handy for routine wear around the farm or ranch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
