OOPS!

Well, this is embarrassing.

We don't seem to have an article of the day for this date. Maybe you could help us out and make or suggest one.
(It's fun! trust us.)

On this day

[more] What else happened today
1871 — George R. Stetson’s U.S. Patent 120403 is assigned to the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. It improved the .44 Henry cartridge by using swaged and lubricated projectiles of more precise shape. 2005 — The US Army outright cancels the OICW (Objective Individual Combat Weapon) program, saying only that "This action has been taken in order for the Army to reevaluate its priorities for small caliber weapons, and to incorporate emerging requirements identified during Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. The Government will also incorporate studies looking into current capability gaps during said reevaluation." 2008 — The remainder of the Public Agents Firearms Regulations came into force in Canada. Police and other government agencies that use or hold firearms were required to report all firearms in their temporary or permanent possession. Today is Halloween. You can dress up as a job and scare the hell out of your lazy brother-in-law.
