Address of the Head of UGOA to Gun Owners

On Thursday, October 4th, based on fabricated allegations and court decision that do not withstand any criticism, the Prosecutor General's Office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in tandem and at the request of their pocket monopolist, Ibis LLC, held an abusive attack on the leadership and members of the Ukrainian Gun Owners Association.

A number of searches took place on the basis of unlawful court decisions, in particular at the address of my registration.

Several superior case investigators of the Chief Investigative Department of the PGO, accompanied by dozens of armed KORD officers and investigators from the National Police’s Department of Economic Defense, participated in this disgraceful "special operation".

TIHK (Tiny Inconspicuous Handcuff Key)

There was a recent kerfuffle on the JTT Facebook Page regarding a picture that I posted of the TIHK (Tiny Inconspicuous Handcuff Key).

Some readers seemed to disapprove of its existence, its lawfulness, or maybe just its posting. There was some concern that it could pose a danger to law enforcement, a sentiment with which I wholeheartedly agree – which is part of why I post about such things…

Wheeler PRLS

For years we pretty much mounted our scopes the old fashioned way, setting our rifle between two sandbags to level it out, placing the scope in the rings and using our eye to “level” the horizontal bar of the reticle and then adjusting the vertical component until it was perpendicular to the axis of the rifle.

While it worked, it was time consuming and not always perfect. Since that time, several inexpensive reticle leveling systems have come on the market that work well for the average shooter who mounts only one or two scopes a year. However, for professionals who set up scopes for paying customers, a faster and more accurate system is required. Wheeler Engineering designed their Professional Reticle Leveling System with dealers and gunsmiths in mind (and folks like us who like neat time-saving tools).
