Guardian Goes To Ireland
If you are into long range shooting competitions, then you have likely heard of the Guardian matches. The Guardian is unique in that a portion of the proceeds from their events go to supporting adoption and foster programs. I recently had the opportunity to cover their first ever international match in Ireland. Follow along for a few highlights as the Guardian goes to Ireland.
Guns, Drugs And A Monkey, What Could Go Wrong?
Gardaí (Police) in Finglas, Ireland, a suburb of Dublin, discovered a small group of people in possession of narcotics, guns, and a pet monkey. If the monkey was trained as a look-out, he failed. Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) reported on the evidence from the operation that involved 50 officers in an effort to target organized crime in the area. The following photos and screen captures are from RTÉ’s story and video.
AR-180 Discovered In Northern Ireland
Strabane Police discovered an Armalite AR-180 and ammunition during a security alert. The PSNI (Police Service Northern Ireland) Superintendent Mark McEwan blames the “New IRA” for the weapon and that they intended to kill people with it. He goes on to condemn the firearm and that its only purpose is to kill people. They are concerned about such weapons being in the hands of the public and will stay vigilant.
