GunZoo Version 3.0 Launches Today

GunZoo

JACKSONVILLE, FL --(Ammoland.com)- GunZoo is proud to announce their first release of 2012, which includes the launch of their Gun Shops & FFL search.

The features described below are in addition to GunZoo’s already robust set of features, which includes the ability to search and compare guns, read the latest industry news, and of course maintain and share a collection of firearms.

Gun Shops
Do you need to find a gun shop in your area to check out the latest equipment in person, or do you need an FFL to complete a transfer for a firearm you’ve purchased online?

It can be tough to track down information using Internet search engines. Results can be outdated or mixed in with irrelevant results. GunZoo’s first release of Gun Shops allows users to find gun shops in their area with a fast and focused search.

Results are displayed in a list and plotted on a map. Clicking on any shop will take the user to a details page where they’ll see the shop address, phone number and a detailed map showing the shop’s location. Enter your address and the tool will even generate driving directions.

I Own It
One of the easiest ways to add a gun to a GunZoo GunVault is to use the advanced gun search. From the gun details page, users may add it to their GunVault by clicking “I Own It”. From there the user can enter information about how they use the gun. This will help other users with similar interests find out what others are shooting. In this release, a “Save and Customize” button has been added to the usage window that will take the user directly to the latest addition to their GunVault. From there the user may upload their own picture, tag it with their modifications and write a detailed description of the gun. One in a user’s GunVault, other GunZoo users can “like” the gun, ask questions, or rain down compliments through comments.

GunZoo Version 3.0 Launches Today

Once created, a GunVault can be easily shared on any forum, over email or on Facebook.

Show All Likes on GunVault

GunZoo users are able to view thousands of personally owned and modified firearms loaded by their users in their GunVaults. Viewing users can offer the owner a virtual pat on the back for having a great looking gun by clicking “like” on that user’s profile. A tab has been added to the GunVault profile that will now show the number of likes a gun has, along with who likes it. This is a great way to find other users with similar interests.

Arizona Game and Fish Department

PHOENIX, AZ – -(Ammoland.com)- Arizona is currently experiencing one of its worst wildfire seasons on record.

As of June 10, 2011, the Wallow Fire in eastern Arizona, which began on May 29, has burned about 400,000 acres, making it the second-worst wildfire in the state’s history thus far. The fire is five percent contained as of this writing.

Two other major wildfires are also burning in the state: the Horseshoe Two Fire, which began May 8 and has consumed more than 125,000 acres in the southeast part of the state (40 percent contained as of June 10), and the Murphy Fire, which began May 30 and has burned more than 65,000 acres in the southern part of the state (75 percent contained as of June 10). The state is extremely dry and is at high risk of other wildfires until summer monsoon rains arrive.

Our thoughts and sympathies go out to the communities that have been so significantly impacted by these fires, and our heartfelt thanks go to the firefighters and support personnel who are diligently working to bring these fires under control. Game and Fish currently has more than 30 wildlife officers working with the incident management teams or local law enforcement in support of the firefighting efforts.

Hunters, anglers, wildlife watchers and other outdoor recreationists will undoubtedly have questions about what impact the fires will have on wildlife, hunting, fishing and outdoor recreational opportunities in those areas. We have developed a new web page with information that may answer some of your questions. New and updated information will continue to be added to this web page as it becomes available.

Women’s Outdoor News Launches Newly Designed Website

Women’s Outdoor News

ROLLA, Mo. --(Ammoland.com)- The Women’s Outdoor News (The WON) launches a new look at its website on June 3, losing the former print newspaper WordPress template and choosing a simpler, more visual design.

The e-zine, which features 13 women bloggers, focuses on “news, reviews and stories” about women in the outdoors. It offers updates by email or RSS Feeds.

Publisher Barbara Baird said, “When we launched The WON three years ago, readers still connected with the newspaper, newswire look. We want to reach a younger generation and this ‘look’ is fresh.”

The site will continue to offer honest reviews of gear for women in its Gear Court department, where sometimes items get sentenced to the death penalty. Said Baird, “We never play for pay. If an item does not pass the Gear Court test, and even if it’s an item from our advertiser, we will still fail it and make suggestions as how to improve it for women’s use.”

Also, the site will run the popular “Shoot to Thrill” department, which features outdoor photographers’ tips, including newly added Yamil Sued, Smith & Wesson’s photographer, to the established lineup of photographers that include Tim Flanigan, Stacey Huston, Gary Figgins, Bill Konway and Gretchen Steele.

In the blogging lineup, joining former bloggers Baird, Tammy Ballew, Paige Eissinger, Nancy Jo Adams, Traci Schauf, The Fly Girl and Katherine Browne, are several new voices – Julie Golob, Sara Ahrens, Molly Smith, Marti Davis, Mia Anstine and Linda MilCun.

Visitors to The WON are invited to comment and also to connect with its Facebook Fan Page, where behind-the-blog scenes will be featured, as well as news from the site. Readers also may get updates from The WON through Twitter.

Legally Armed in Detroit

Detroit --(Ammoland.com)- Rick Ector, a Detroit native and a nationally accredited Firearms Instructor, has launched a blog on the Internet to encourage citizens to openly carry handguns. The blog is entitled “Detroit Open Carry.”

According to Ector, the time has arrived for city of Detroit to break ties with the racist roots of gun control.

Ector stated, “Gun laws have always been most strict in cities with large numbers of black people. Detroit is no different in that regard. In 1925, Dr. Ossian Sweet was acquitted of defending his home from a mob of people who were upset with the gall of a black man who dared to integrate a white neighborhood.”

Rick Ector (r) with Kenn Blanchard (l) of Black Man With A Gun Fame

Ector, was referring to the Michigan court case which many have credited as being the genesis of the 1927 Michigan Firearms Act. This law created County Gun Boards, required the licensing of handguns, and made acquiring Concealed Pistol Licenses (CPLs) and handguns difficult for most black people.

Also, Ector concedes that there is another reason for pushing open carry in Detroit.

He added, “Crime here is out of control and the local police department can’t be everywhere. A citizen wearing a firearm in a holster will serve as a visual deterrent to bad guys looking to rape, rob, and murder.”

In general, it is legal in the state of Michigan for a person 18 years of age to display his own registered pistol in a completely visible holster without a special permit, as long as he does not venture into a state designated pistol-free zone.

Rick Ector is a Detroit based grassroots gun rights advocate and a National Rifle Association (NRA) credentialed Firearms and Personal Protection Trainer, who provides Michigan CCW Classes training in Detroit for students at his firearms school – Rick’s Firearm Academy of Detroit.

Ector is a recognized expert in firearm safety and has been featured extensively in the national and local media: Associated Press, UPI, NRAnews, Gun Digest, The Politics Daily, Fox News Detroit, WDIV News, WXYZ News, WWJ Radio, WJR Radio, The Detroit News, WJLB, WGPR, and the UrbanShooterPodcast.

Whitetail Properties Farm Real Estate Auction

Whitetail Properties

Pittsfield, IL -(Ammoland.com)- Whitetail Properties, a real estate listing and auction business that unites buyers and sellers through its team of farm and ranch land specialists, has just made it easier for those buyers and sellers to do business.

Whitetail Properties’ new online-only auction platform will offer great convenience to buyers who will be able to bid on tracts of land from anywhere that has Internet connection.

Whitetail Properties auctioneers already conduct live onsite auctions but saw the need to add an Internet-only auction, which can save the seller both time and money as well as offer a great convenience to bidders. Whitetail Properties will continue to offer live auctions and sealed bid auctions in addition to the new online only land auctions.

“The National Association of Realtors says 82% of people begin their search for real estate online,” Jason Smith, auctioneer and land specialist, says. “Many investors are far removed from the Midwestern Farmland and timberland they’re considering for investment.”

Dan Perez, real estate broker, says, “We have invested heavily in not only television and print marketing, but also Internet marketing to capture the attention of that 82%. The new Internet bidding system makes it possible not only to find farm real estate on the Internet but also buy it on the Internet.”

Sellers that want to achieve full market value need to have their property on a nationally marketed website like whitetailpropertiesauction.com to make sure they are getting maximum exposure with these people.

Advantages to sellers:

• No contingency cash offers.
• Reduced costs compared to live auctions, sellers can save up to 50% on marketing/event fees.
• Auctions put no cap on price like a listing does.
• Auctions create spotlight attention for the property, unlike listings that are all lumped together.
• Auctions leave the seller in control of all aspects of the sale, including date, time and terms.
• Auction marketing is aggressive and saturates the market while a listing slowly “drips” the marketing to the public.
• Auctions can sell property faster and eliminate long term holding costs — no long delays sitting on the market.

Advantages to buyers:

• Convenient to bid from anywhere that has an Internet connection 24 hours a day.
• No wasted travel time and expenses for properties you may or may not be able to buy.
• Ability to attend many more auctions virtually.
• Extended research time.
• Easy to use bidding system.
• Whitetail Properties serves many states eliminating the need to establish relationships with multiple brokers.
• Site has extensive documents, mapping and videos to help buyers become as familiar with the property and details as possible.

An online real estate auction is no different than the live auctions Whitetail Properties is already conducting. Properties are marketed exactly the same using all of Whitetail Properties’ powerful tools, but rather than buyers and sellers coming together for a bidding session all at one time, the bids are placed on the website over a period of time. Buyers can still visit the property for a showing when it is convenient for them. All properties are well documented with High Definition video and professionally produced videos to give buyers a good feel for every nook and cranny of the property.

How the site works:
A potential buyer creates an account at www.whitetailpropertiesauction.com and is then required to submit several screening documents to participate in a phone interview with the auctioneer. Each buyer must provide proof of funds and evidence of financial ability, agree to the site’s Terms and Conditions and satisfy the auctioneer they are a sound bidder. Much like E-bay’s ranking system, the auction site has built in checks and balances.

Each buyer will be given “Purchasing Power” that cannot be exceeded. A buyer will be approved for the Purchasing Power they qualify for to keep buyers from overbidding properties or from bidding on multiple properties if the combined total is above their purchasing power. The Internet auctions will run between 30 and 60 days depending on each situation.

“We are excited about the powerful land sales tool we have built,” Smith says. “Sellers can take advantage of Whitetail Properties powerhouse land marketing system to find the perfect buyer for their property without having to leave their property on the market for a lengthy listing period.

Perez says, “The new system is especially good at handling large farm multi-parcel auctions where a seller desires to divide a large farm into smaller tracts to increase their return on the property. It’s a very exciting development not only for our company, but also for those using our real estate marketing services”
