Ruger LCP Recall

Update 12/31/2008: Our LCP’s have been returned. 8 days, including Christmas Day. Very good turn around, Ruger!  Each gun came back with the promised extra magazine. Plus, each came back with a Ruger LCP hat (photo below). So this completes out LCP recall story.

Update 12/20/2008: Our LCP’s are going out to Ruger on Monday 12/22

Update 12/17/2008: We received our 3 shipping boxes from Ruger to return our LCP’s for the recall. I will post here when we get them back so others can see how long the process takes. I hear Ruger will give a free magazine for each LCP that goes through the recall.

Some Ruger LCP pistols are being recalled. Seems they can discharge (fire a bullet) if dropped in a certain way onto a hard surface. Opps, BANG  – Only kidding. Here’s a link to the Ruger page which tells how to determine if your LCP is being recalled. Michael Bane’s blog has some discussion on this issue.

We’ll  check our LCP’s this weekend, though I think ours have the latest hammer assembly.

Bright Spot in the Economy: Gun Sales Up 8-10%

Who says the economy totally stinks? The Washington Post reports that gun sales are up. Could the fact that both presidential candidates are anti RKBA play into this? And the more rabid anti RKBA candidate is ahead in the polls be driving these sales?

If you are concerned about the deteriorating political situation, think about stocking up on ammunition. Some day the gun grabbers will figure out that ammo is a consumable and thus is our weak point. Guns, well cared for, can last several lifetimes. Ammo, well, get used up.

This squirrel has been visiting our house, I finally got a photo of it – even though it required me to get the camera under my jeep. It has a very bushy tail that’s not very evident in this image. Click for  a larger view.
