Sunday With Blackthorn - Today We Discuss A Take Down Lever Action in .44 Magnum - Chris Rock On How Things Could have been Worse At The Oscars - And How NYC Makes Buying OC Spray Difficult

 First up - Move Lever Action Goodness. A bit too pricey for my blood, but truly a nice example of technology being used to keep and an iconic American Firearm useful. As usual, this one is from Lucky Gunner Ammo.

And Now, A Word From Chris Rock On His Oscars Incident

OC Spray In NYC

The woman in the Post article linked to below was lucky that her assailant was deterred just by her getting the OC Spray out, in her hand, and was obviously prepared to use it. My best guess would be that the assailant had been sprayed before at some point on his criminal career and wasn't in the mood to re-live the experience. I know a lot of people (including several on the mailing list of this Blog) dismiss OC Spray as ineffective. However not everybody lives where  concealed carry is legal, and/or don't have the inclination to carry edged or impact weapons on them. 

People live where they live, local laws are not always passed in the best interests of the citizenry, so they make the choices they can, and then live with whatever consequences may arise. In NYC in particular, while OC Spray is legal, the City restricts the places where it is sold. To my knowledge there are no more than a half a dozen locations within the 5 Boroughs that are licensed to sell it. 

But what else can you expect from the Peoples Not So Demokratik Republik of New Yorkistan?

NOTE: Yeah, I know, The Post keeps referring to OC as 'Mace'.  This is what happens when you lay off your proofreaders and replace them with  AI Software Programs.......
