Combat rifle scopes and a backup plan

When you mount your rifle scope, please do some research on how to properly level and mount it.  A properly mounted combat optic should not be over torqued and should have loctite on the screws.  I have yet to see a mount come loose on a gun that used loctite.   When you go out an spend $1000 on a combat rifle scope, ask yourself, what will you do and how will you remove the scope and aim it if the optic goes down.   If one your Trijicon rifle scopes takes a bullet, are you going to be able to see through it and still be able to lay down effective fire if you can’t see through it?  Even if you have a rifle scope that does not allow for co-witness, would it be a good idea to still attach flip up sights to the gun if there is room for them?  Always have a backup plan for your defensive carbine.

The vast majority of M4 Carbines I see at the range have optics that are top of the line.    Aimpoint and Eotech along with the Trijicon ACOG are probable the top 3.   All of these are good for a certain purpose which is mostly for close up fighting.   The Trijicon ACOG is more of a medium range combat optic depending on the type of reticle you choose.   They do have a line of red dot or even green dot optic options, also.   If you are are a weekend warrior and new to defensive shooting and tactical gear, I would suggest you think about this next statement, whenever you attach an accessory to your Carbine, think about what you would do if that accessory mount broke or the actual item failed.

Looking for Zombie killing options

Do search for gun clubs and shooting ranges in your State to find out if anyone is holding a Zombie shoot.   They usually occur in the September to October months.   Having some good tactical clothing that will securely hold your gear.   The Eotac Style 201 pants are my favorite because they hold 6- 30rd PMAGS and they are easy to run in.   Tactical vests like the Style 101 are not heavy and don’t make you feel like you are wearing a flak jacket.   There is a time and a place for different types of tactical vests, but mobility is important.  You may want to try getting your magazines loaded up with all of your gear and then try running 100yds with it and see what it feels like and if stuff starts to fly out of your pockets.   Mobility is extremely important.

There seems to be a new craze in competition shooting in recent years.   I’ve seen more high school boys coming home from class with Zombie survival guides, the recent 28 Days later type movies and the doomsday virus outbreaks.    I guess IDPA has lost some traction to the present generation, but I’ve attended a few Zombie survival competitions and they were very good training events.   The best thing about it was the amount of tactical gear that I watched fail, and the number of really novice mistakes people made.   Out of the 5 stages I attended, there was 1 stage that we saw about 18 firearms go down.   About half of those were AK variants and they were mostly magazine related.  Some guys never knew how hard it was to do a tactical reload on an AK if there was a round in the chamber and a fully loaded 30rd magazine.  People found out what happens after firing off the 1st round and the magazine falls out.

1st Time Handgun owner fears

gun safesAfter Sept 11th and the Hurrican Katrina News cyles, many people have opened their eyes to the fact that their is evil in our generation and that any one of us could face it in our home or our way to work.   There have been a lot of people opening their eyese to gun owner ship.   I can’t tell you the times I’ve heard women say that they “will never allow a gun in their house” and how that mindset has been disapating ever since the Hurrican Katrina havoc.   I had a liberal female friend who was willing to atleast come to a range with me say that “just the existance of a firearm in a home is a deterant, you don’t even have to fire it to prevent bad people from coming onto your property.   Although bad people come in different flavors, most of them will skip your house if you spray paint a warning on your front door informing looters that you will shoot them if they come near you.

I understand peoples fears of having guns around with children, I do believe that if you have children in the house, all guns should be locked up.   I can remember all of my friends that got access to firearms when their dads weren’t around and although they never mishandled them, it’s not a good idea for kids to have access to them until they are proven to be competant and emotionally stable enough to have access.  When dealing with people that are concerened about this, I skip discussions about handguns, and just talk about various types of gun safes that are available and explain to people that push button keypads and finger print scanning technology is here and there is zero chance your kid is going to have access to the gun.  I also strongly suggest hiding and bolting the safe down in an area that is not highly visible.  For $80-$300 you can buy a handgun safe that can be accessed in seconds and there is zero chance your kids will ever have access to.

Security the size of a notebook

Gunvault

 

Many of us that carry and are going on business trips may not like the idea of hiding a gun in a hotel room just to find out some  thug got a hold of it and may use it against us.
Sure that given enough time any criminal will be able to break a safe open, but atleast know that they won’t be standing in your hotel room with one of the handguns you left in a suitcase is going to be used against you when you walk into a room.   There is a Biometric version of this safe for even more security model MVB500.  These can easily be used for the Mrs. Jewelry, too.   The gunvault microvault is the size of a notebook and weighs about 5lbs.

Gunvault gun safes has a new gun safe called the GunVault Microvault.  This gun safe is the answer that many have been looking for.   For several years I have heard about issues concerning storing guns in a car or bringing them on the road for travel.   There are times when we can not bring our guns with us and the idea of leaving a gun out in the open and not locked or hidden away is a bad idea.

Don’t Forget the Hunting Accessories

gun case

For a successful hunting trip, it’s imperative that you have all the necessary hunting gear. If you’re spending multiple days on your particular trip, the most important items are the proper clothing, your gun, and all your camping gear, which can include sleeping bag, tent, and camping cookware. But once all these basics are covered, there is an entire world of hunting extras and secondary accessories that will serve to make your trip more successful and more pleasant.

To that end, there is a huge variety of rifle accessories on the market. One of the most useful accessories is a tactical gun case. These padded cases will help ensure that your gun is safely packed for travel and storing. There are also a number of flashlight mounts, which attach directly to the rifle and allow you to place a light on the gun itself. Increasing your visibility at night or in other low light situations, this accessory can actually improve your chance at landing that big score.

Got kids? Lock your stuff up!

GunVault Gun SafesThere has been a major shift in the attitudes of a lot of gun owners.   I remember the days when gun owners would never want to have to think about locking their handgun in a safe, especially if it was their bedside pistol.    Back in the day, we all had Grandfathers that kept guns laying around, but the stats show that accidents happen and kids will find them if they are not locked up.   If you don’t have kids around this is a none issue, but if you do, you may want to do some thinking.

What happened that changed peoples attitude about locking guns up?   Well, technology has caught up with the reasoning for having quick access to a handgun.   Years ago a gun safe meant using a key or combination to open and that can be cumbersome and slow if you really had to get to your gun at 3am.    GunVault gun safes have been through a few updgrades in the last few years and the safes they are putting out now are much better than the ones they had a few years ago.   The Key pad buttions are easier to feel and like all things,  a little practice time and your hands will do what they need to without thinking.   There is also a biometric version that can read your fingerprints which elimates the possibility of a kid gaining access to your guns.  The GVB200 will open up at soon as you place your hand on the sensor.

Handling Guns with Care and Respect

gun safesAs a lifelong gun owner, I’ve always recognized the importance of treating firearms with care and respect. We’ve all heard the horror stories about what can happen when people are negligent or foolhardy; when a gun is involved, there’s no room for horseplay. From the moment my daughter was born, I vowed to pay extra attention to firearm safety. I purchased a gunvault safe and kept all my pistols under lock and key.

Still, I think it would be a mistake to promote a child’s ignorance about firearms. Once they are old enough to uphold certain responsibilities, I believe they should be ingrained with an understanding of the power guns contain. That way they learn to operate guns safety and with great care. It should be up to each individual parent to handle that situation the way he or she sees fit, of course.

The Benefits of a Gun Safe

gun-safesThey can also be used for safekeeping of our money, jewelries and important documents.  Unintentional gun injuries to our loved ones inside the house can be surely prevented when the weapons are kept securely inside the safes. These fire-proof vaults also protect the valuable things stored in the safe from being destroyed by the blaze due to fire or arson.

Full protection of our homes, offices and properties from burglary cannot be assured even by government authorities. Hence an additional protection for our priceless belongings including, and most especially, our weapons can be possible with the use of safes. Gun safes are secure storage equipment for guns.
