Beating the Reaper!, Vol. 1: Trauma Medicine for the CCW Operator is directed toward the “Average Joe” who may have never taken a first-aid class, and certainly doesn’t consider himself to be a medically trained special operator. Instead, he is someone who realizes that, just as with his shooting skills, he needs to have skill to help save someone’s life, perhaps his own, in the aftermath of shooting or other traumatic event. He’s the “CCW Operator” who doesn’t have a team medic nearby. He must show the same self-reliance that got him through the initial incident.

If card shooters, sporting-clays shooters, skeep and trap shooters, hunters and shotgun owners in general all agree on the benefits of the screw-in choke, and millions of guns have been made with fixed chokes, how big do you suppose the need for screw-in choke installation is? It is enormous! You should learn to install screw-in chokes.

OOoookay. This has gotten to the point that it is stupid and wrong. Guns are not toys and injecting a game or fantasy like theme sends the wrong message about how seriously firearms should be regarded. One off show pieces aside, I can only imagine how badly this would look to people when they see some yahoo toting one of these around. Bad shotgun handling just got worse with the above barrel pump handle. The 464 ZMB looks like some drunk redneck with a tactical fetish designed it. No offense of all rednecks, I'm half redneck btw, just the drunk one that designed that rifle.
