In Oregon CHL permits are issued by the state, but approved (or denied) by the county sherrif

Live Chat Schedule (and some gun chat)
We have been enjoying the live interaction with this new YouTube feature that lets us chat live easily
So we decided to schedule some times to hold live sessions with anyone who would like to attend
Eventually NeverEnuffAmmo and some other guys joined in and we started to answer questions from the live chat.. so this video runs a little long
And is followed by a few even longer Gun Chats ..
We'll get more used to the way this new system works, and we'll be back with lots more live stuff
Let us know WHEN is a good time for you in the comment
Please mention any topics we should cover as well
Thanks for watching

Special Operations Speak (Interview) Liberty Watch Radio
Special Operations Speaks (SOS) PAC, a nationwide group of decorated Special Operations veterans opposing the reelection of President Barack Obama
Liberty Watch Radio Interviews the Special Operations Speak (SOS) Founder:
Larry Bailey, CAPT (SEAL), USN (Ret.)
and
Jim Grimshaw Army Special Forces Vet and actor (We Were Soldiers, Magmun, P.I.)
Two interesting 20 minute interviews with the guys who represent Special Operations Speak
The Mission of Special Operations Speak:
We, as veterans, legatees, and supporters of the Special Operations communities of all the Armed Forces, have noted with dismay and deep alarm the recent stream of highly damaging leaks of information about various aspects of America's shadow war in the overall War on Terror. Our principles are the same as when we were in active service — Duty, Honor, Country.
Our goals are:
To emphasize the pressing need for the nation and its representatives to understand the value of our Constitution and actively support a return to its application in all phases of government;
To illuminate the failed operational security environment of the Administration and to provide the public with accurate information about these repeated releases of highly classified information;
To restore accountability in government and with it the trust in our government that We The People deserve and demand.
SOS Founders:
Larry Bailey, CAPT (SEAL), USN (Ret.)
A native of Marshall, Texas, and a graduate of Stephen F. Austin State College (BS) and East Carolina University (M.Ed), Captain Bailey is a 1962 Navy OCS graduate who served aboard ship before completing UDT/SEAL Training in 1963. He was a platoon commander in both UDT-22 and SEAL Team TWO in Little Creek, VA, and deployed to Viet Nam from the latter in 1967. He was later Executive Officer of UDT-12 in Coronado, CA; Commanding Officer of Naval Special Warfare Unit TWO in Machrihanish, Scotland; and Commanding Officer of Naval Special Warfare Center in Coronado, CA. He has had tours of duty in Panama, Bolivia, and Scotland, in addition to numerous stateside assignments. He is a sub-specialist in Latin American Politico-Military Affairs and is a Spanish linguist. He served 27 years on active duty.Captain Bailey chaired Vietnam Vets for Truth during the 2004 presidential campaign and is the current chairman of Gathering of Eagles, a military support organization.Captain Bailey is married and the father of two adult children.
Colonel Richard F. ("Dick") Brauer Jr. USAF, (Ret)
Colonel Richard F. ("Dick") Brauer Jr. USAF, (Ret) is native of Needham, Massachusetts, graduating from Boston University in 1964 as an AFROTC Distinguished Military Graduate. Completing Undergraduate Navigator Training in 1966, he embarked upon a flying career in Tactical Airlift and Special Operations, amassing 5200 hours of worldwide flying, attaining the aeronautical rating of Master Navigator. His tours of flying duty and deployments include Southeast Asia/Vietnam (1967-68), Europe, Central and South America (1968- 1971) and Australia (1971-1973), where he represented the USAF and the United States as an Exchange Officer, flying as an instructor in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).
Colonel Brauer has been assigned to a variety of Air Force and Joint Special Operations units during his career from unit to HQ and Joint Staff levels. Significantly, he was handpicked to be a "plank holder" as an Air Force member in the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) (1980-1983). He graduated with top honors from the United States Army War College in 1984 and then served in the Joint Special Operations Agency (JSOA) (1983-1986), the organization that preceded and led to the founding of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and subsequently the US Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC).
Following his Pentagon tour he was selected to be the 12th Commandant of the United States Air Force Special Operations School (Hurlburt Field, FL) and served the joint SOF, conventional and interagency communities in that education leadership position from 1986 until his retirement in 1991 having completed 26 years of active duty military service. In 2010 Colonel Brauer was inducted into the Air Commando Hall of Fame.

Full Auto 9mm Sten $295 !!! (in what year ??)
Found this old Sten catalog (book?) in a "Bargain Bin" at the local gun shop
I've always liked the simple guns, especially ones built to end Nazis (as the Sten did so well) so this book caught my eye
But after looking inside I was HOOKED.. and it was only 50¢
Enjoy a look at what it was like in the days before the 1986 Firearms Owners Protection act stepped on the throats (and wallets) of non-criminal gun enthusiasts

Shooting Mini AK47 Draco SBR
We finally got to the range with the new Mini Draco AK47 SBR (Short Barrel Rifle)
It was as fun to shoot as it is cool to look at.. we did a basic zero at 200 yards (meters) then shot pigs at 300 yards, turkeys at 400 and the big round steel target (gong) at 500+ yards
For a short rifle, it is quite accurate, and pretty loud
I am sure we will be shooting this one a lot more, stay tuned
Using an Ace Stock and Midwest Industries Railed Handguard along with other parts to make this pistol into a version of a 'budget krink' legally
This is NOT an AKS-47U,
this is NOT a Krink,
this is NOT an AKS-74U
this is NOT an AK74U (which is fake video game nonsense)
or any other version of a short AK47
This IS a hybrid creation, a Mini Draco AK47 SBR (Short Barrel Rifle)
This is an AK Pistol, Called a Mini Draco, made in Romania, shipped to the US as a pistol. It was bought as a pistol, then the paperwork and fee ($200) was paid to the NFA branch of the ATF (BATFE) to legally convert the pistol into a short rifle (Barrel less than 16 inches, and overall length shorter than 26 inches) to create a NEW hybrid of AK from this Mini Draco. There are NO licenses for this rifle, nor the conversion. Instead a tax is paid, forms are filled out, and a tax stamp is issued for the conversion. The tax stamp does NOT apply to any other builds or conversions, it is NOT a license to own "class3" firearms
We walk through the parts, paperwork and assembly of a Short Barrel Rifle (SBR) from a Mini Draco AK47 pistol.

We did some research on a fascinating part of U.S. firearms history, the small, low caliber, inexpensive pistols made by manufacturers in the Los Angeles area who were given the nickname, the "Ring of Fire" companies.
Raven, Jennings, Davis, AMT, Bryco, Lorcin, Phoenix, Cobra and Jimenez are linked in various complex ways to each other through family, business practice or firearm design.

"If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink." - Jack Handy

"Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler." - Albert Einstein
An Overlooked Investment, Firearm Magazines
Magazines are important
Magazines are disposable
- Balance between cost and durability
- CCW a fresh reliable magazine
- Bad Habits
Have plenty of mags pre-loaded for the range
- Larger capacity at the range is a lot more fun
Multiple magazines are a must for training classes and to keep your subsequent training free of interruptions
Many mags for shooting sports
Lots of magazines reduce Training Issues
- Distraction
- Hesitation
- Costs
Spare magazines stashed around your house, vehicle, workplace, etc
Firearms are a must,
Ammo is important
but don't skimp on magazines
Investment
Risk of legislation + Grandfather clauses = Inflated prices caused by legislation
Keep as new for a rainy day
Invest in USA Mags
- Helping you're the firearms community in general and the country by keeping your money here
- 922R
- Keep US mag manufacturers in business
Buy at gun shows to find the harder to find mags and save money,
- Buy a magazine at offset admission price
Look for group buys on forums
Local Shops depends on sales to stay in business
- Buying a mag each time you visit makes you a frequent customer
In a free and open market like we live in here in the US, we vote with our pocketbooks

Mini Draco SBR (Complete Build)
Quick look at the Mini-Draco Short Barrel Rifle (SBR) build
All the parts are on, nothing left to do but paint it
"Melting Pot" AK:
Romanian Mini Draco
USA Stock & Handguards
Chinese Optic
Bulgarian 40rd Mag
Yugo Ammo
Building this Mini AK47 (SBR) Short Barrel Rifle
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-UmnKD4Yhw&feature=plcp
Using an Ace Stock and Midwest Industries Railed Handguard along with other parts to make this pistol into a version of a 'budget krink' legally
This is NOT an AKS-47U,
this is NOT a Krink,
this is NOT an AKS-74U
this is NOT an AK74U (which is fake video game nonsense)
or any other version of a short AK47
This IS a hybrid creation, a Mini Draco AK47 SBR (Short Barrel Rifle)
This is an AK Pistol, Called a Mini Draco, made in Romania, shipped to the US as a pistol. It was bought as a pistol, then the paperwork and fee ($200) was paid to the NFA branch of the ATF (BATFE) to legally convert the pistol into a short rifle (Barrel less than 16 inches, and overall length shorter than 26 inches) to create a NEW hybrid of AK from this Mini Draco. There are NO licenses for this rifle, nor the conversion. Instead a tax is paid, forms are filled out, and a tax stamp is issued for the conversion. The tax stamp does NOT apply to any other builds or conversions, it is NOT a license to own "class3" firearms
