I have to provide \u201creasons\u201d why I require a permit, list four references who can attest to my \u201cgood moral character,\u201d register all my handguns and receive a full cavity search \u2014 sans lubrication \u2014 from a nubby-fingered jackboot. Even after all that, there are no guarantees.<\/p>\n<p>While I wait for the Empire State to decide on whether I\u2019m allowed to exercise my <em>right<\/em> to keep and arms that is guaranteed by the U.S Constitution, I\u2019ve jotted down some items that the jolly fat man can load up in his sleigh and cram down my chimney (or your chimney) this Christmas.<\/p>\n<h2>LifeCard .22LR \u2018Credit Card\u2019 Pistol<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_82380\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trailblazer-lifecard-on-briefcase-with-watch-1030x687.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"all-i-want-for-christmas\" title=\"Stocking Stuffers &amp; Gift Guide for the Gun Nerd \u2014\u00a0LifeCard, Knives, An M1 Garand &amp; More!\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82380\" title=\"Stocking Stuffers &amp; Gift Guide for the Gun Nerd \u2014\u00a0LifeCard, Knives, An M1 Garand &amp; More!\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-82380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trailblazer-lifecard-on-briefcase-with-watch-1030x687-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"Stocking Stuffers &amp; Gift Guide for the Gun Nerd \u2014\u00a0LifeCard, Knives, An M1 Garand &amp; More!\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trailblazer-lifecard-on-briefcase-with-watch-1030x687-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trailblazer-lifecard-on-briefcase-with-watch-1030x687-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trailblazer-lifecard-on-briefcase-with-watch-1030x687-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trailblazer-lifecard-on-briefcase-with-watch-1030x687-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trailblazer-lifecard-on-briefcase-with-watch-1030x687.jpg 1030w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-82380\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The LifeCard is advertised as the &#8220;Last gun you&#8217;ll leave behind.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The LifeCard .22LR from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trailblazerfirearms.com\/products\/\" campaign=\"LifeCard\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Trailblazer Firearms<\/a> really caught my eye when it was announced over the summer.

While your primary carry gun may change week to week, month to month, depending on any number of factors (weather, clothing, travel destination, etc.), the LifeCard is a mainstay as a backup gun or even a backup to your backup because of its size. It weighs only 7 ounces!<\/p>\n<p>The catch on this is that I haven\u2019t handled it or shot it or even seen it in person. The good news, though, is that Clay has one in for review right now. Look for that write-up to be published in the next week or so.

The first is the Chris Reeve Small Inkosi Insingo.\u00a0 The second is the Zero Tolerance 0460.<\/p>\n<p>The Inkosi is the evolution of the classic Sebenza, the knife that put Chris Reeve on the map nearly 30 years ago.\u00a0The model I reviewed recently featured a carbon fiber front handle and an Insingo blade (a modified Wharncliffe blade design).<\/p>\n<p>Overbuilt, compact and incredibly light, the Small Inkosi is one of my favorite knives.\u00a0 Price is around $415.<\/p>\n<p>The Zero Tolerance 0460 is a Persian-influenced knife designed by Russian knifemaker Dimitry Sinkevich.\u00a0 Like the Inkosi, it has carbon fiber handles and blade steel made from the inimitable S35VN.\u00a0 Unlike the Inkosi, it&#8217;s flipper-operated. A flick of the flipper and the blade flies open!<\/p>\n<p>It too is tough, lightweight and great to carry.\u00a0 While Zero Tolerance doesn&#8217;t have the accolades and reputation that Chris Reeve does just yet, the 0460 is nothing to sneeze at.\u00a0 Price for this bad mama jama is $180.<\/p>\n<p>You can pick up both the Inkosi and the 0460 at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.knifeart.com\/\" campaign=\"KnifeArt.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">KnifeArt.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>M1 Garand<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_82451\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/wm_11792754.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"all-i-want-for-christmas\" title=\"Stocking Stuffers &amp; Gift Guide for the Gun Nerd \u2014\u00a0LifeCard, Knives, An M1 Garand &amp; More!\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82451\" title=\"Stocking Stuffers &amp; Gift Guide for the Gun Nerd \u2014\u00a0LifeCard, Knives, An M1 Garand &amp; More!\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-82451\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/wm_11792754-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"Stocking Stuffers &amp; Gift Guide for the Gun Nerd \u2014\u00a0LifeCard, Knives, An M1 Garand &amp; More!\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/wm_11792754-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/wm_11792754-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/wm_11792754-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/wm_11792754.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-82451\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Found this for $895 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/978251677\/Springfield-M1-Garand-Rifle-30-0.htm\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"all-i-want-for-christmas\" title=\"Stocking Stuffers &amp; Gift Guide for the Gun Nerd \u2014\u00a0LifeCard, Knives, An M1 Garand &amp; More!\">on GunsAmerica<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Do you believe in Christmas miracles?\u00a0 I do!
