A positive gun story, you bet that won't get media coverage.

What the heck is going on up there??

Second story like this in as many months. Same area. Starting to sound like Chicago! Do you guys have a meth problem in/around Munising?It seems to be the rural drug of choice and really screws these little punks up.

It got positive coverage on local news but you know it wont go farther then that. Punks got and AR-15 pulled out on them. LOL

snolver1.. meth is a huge problem isnt it..they should behead suppliers like they do in Japan.

Best "Control of a Gun" story ever! Definately don't get to hear too many of these stories in Liberapolis!

Well, the next time the punks rob a place, they will also have AR-15s with them. Probably won't go down so nicely.

Stupid punk criminals can not afford an AR.

Stupid punk criminals can not afford an AR.

They won't bother to buy and register one....they steal them. This is one fact that the anti gun crowd never get out to the public. How many of these crimes are committed by criminals who have stolen guns?

That is why any further effort to pass a law to curb purchases is a waste of time. 2/3s of all crimes committed by criminals with a firearm are committed with a weapon that was stolen.

What law can you imagine up that will cover that one?


I hope more of the above stories would make the news, but since that doesn't sell much advertising, I would not count on it getting much traction with the media, most of whom feel that guns are bad.

Course you don't hear them expounding on the dangers of chainsaws either.

Can't even FIND ammo for my assault weapon....a 22 rimfire that holds 12 shots which I have had since I was 17....nylon stock and tube feed. Anyone else notice the empty ammo shelves at the stores?

Crime has been on the increase in da UP for the last year or so.

Check the Marquette Mining Journal, Upper Michigan Source (TV6, Marquette), The Daily Mining Gazette (Houghton, MI), and others.

Home invasions are becoming all too frequent in the Marquette area, and a while ago in Houghton as well.

Today, in Menominee: U.P. man charged with possessing bombs, May 1, 2013.

Seems these days it ain't your granddaddy's Oldsmobile, er … UP!

no wont happen if they get on it will be stolen from some hard working family. then instantly traded for some meth or heroin. the dealer will trade it to the cooks or Mexican mafia where it will be used in turf wars against other dealers and smugglers.

Ya I quit buying ammo just because if you do find it it is way over priced.... Dept of homeland security could sell some of their 1.6 BILLION rounds and make the market a little more stable.....
