PRESIDENT'S
MESSAGE
ZOMBIE ATTACK!
by Marty Hayes
That?s how I felt when walking by many of the target
manufacturers? booths at the SHOT Show. Talk about
stupid! The recent
zombie craze that
has hit the shooting
crowd is just plain ill
conceived, and if you
actually thought
about it for more than
two seconds, you?d
understand that by
buying into gun
products from the
zombie craze is
setting yourself up for
possible disaster.
Imagine being a little
old lady on a jury
who is deciding your
fate after you shot
and killed a homeless person who was kind of dressed
like one of those zombie targets after that homeless
person stepped upon your front porch and made
threatening gestures that lead you to believe he was
armed and intending to kill you. It is the job of the little
old ladies on the jury to decide if you acted as a
reasonable and prudent person would when you fired
several shots into the torso and head of the zombie
look-alike.
Imagine, that the prosecutors admit into evidence the
images of the deceased, doing a surprisingly good
imitation of a zombie, complete with rags covering parts
of the body and bleeding holes in the ragged clothing.
In addition to that evidence, imagine
the prosecutors admit into evidence
your stash of zombie targets, both shot
up and new that the police confiscated
after a lawful search of your home.
They got a search warrant after you
denied them entry. It was a lawful
search warrant because on the
warrant, the police listed as possible
items of evidence of a homicide,
including “guns, ammunition and other
evidence related to firearms use.” And,
because the local anti-gun judge
signed it, it was lawful on its face and
so the evidence makes it into court.
So, there you are, the only witness to the incident,
trying to convince the little old lady on the jury that you
are a reasonable person, and only did what a
reasonable person would have done when approached
and threatened by the raggedy-looking fellow you shot
multiple times. All well and good, until the prosecution
cross examines you and asks you about the used and
new zombie targets that you routinely use when
practicing to kill zombies. What are you going to say? It
was just all good-natured fun?
How do you answer the question, “How do you kill a
Zombie?”
“Ahh, shoot him multiple times in the chest and head?”
Of course it could be even worse for you if you
happened to use the Hornaday?s Zombie killer
ammunition, Z-Max. No, I am NOT kidding. And, please
understand I think the privately owned Hornady brand is
a great brand, and Steve Hornady is one of the true
good guys of the industry. But, this one is a gutter ball.

One thing I've always wondered, is why all the guys who buy guns in case of zombies, always assume they they are not the zombies.

Multiple times been tto gun retailers around here and one of the sales guys uses "good zombie killer" as a reason to buy a gun.

It really weakens the pro gun stance IMO, and makes it seem illigitimate.  I would recommend not buying from retailers and manufacturers who sell out to the zombie delusion.

metaldoc:
I admittedly never did understand the appeal and popularity of anything Zombie... but then I'm just an out of touch ol' fart according to some friends who think it's the coolest thing ever.

bkoenig:
Honestly, I thing it's a BIIIIG stretch to say that you'd get in trouble for shooting an assailant dressed in raggedy clothes because they looked like a "zombie" and you had some zombie targets at your house, etc.  If that's the thing that gets you convicted then it was probably a VERY questionable shooting in the first place.  If you're that worried about it then you had better not have any of these targets in your house either:



It's all in good fun.  I liked zombie movies before the current craze.  I do agree selling a gun because it's a good zombie killer is just stupid.

Mudinyeri:
As an e-buddy of mine says, "If you're prepared for zombies, you're prepared for anything."   ;D
