Jordan Gerbich
A former Santa Maria Valley man has pleaded guilty to a federal misdemeanor charge for fatally shooting a northern elephant seal on a beach in San Luis Obispo County.
The guilty plea via a video conference hearing Monday came four months after Jordan Gerbich, 30, who now lives in Utah, was charged with one count of taking a marine mammal, according to the U.S. Attorney s Office.
In September 2019, the corpse of a northern elephant seal was found on a beach near San Simeon, close to a popular viewing area along Highway 1 where visitors can observe elephant seals, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said Tuesday in press release.

The gangster era during Prohibition and later saw the typical police officer, who was armed with a .38 S&W or .38 S&W Special revolver, outgunned by gangsters with self-loading pistols, BARs, or Thompson SMGs. These same gangsters generally drove fast cars with heavy steel bodies that often would defeat the .38 Special standard load of 158-grain bullet, at 860 feet per second, producing 260 foot pounds of energy.

AKRON, Ohio (WOIO) - A driver was arrested by Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers after a loaded gun and $6,000 worth of methamphetamine were found in his car, said troopers.
Edward Stoll, 35, of Akron, was pulled over on Dec. 16 around 8:30 a.m. on Arlington Road in Akron.
Troopers said he was pulled over for failure to display registration.
During the traffic stop, troopers said they found a loaded 9mm Springfield Armory XD handgun, a digital scale and 60 grams of methamphetamine.
The American Model 45A Automatic Rifle Was Almost Forgotten
It s essentially a hybrid battle rifle/light machine gun.
Here s What You Need to Remember: Today, bullpup style rifles are used by the militaries of Great Britain, France, China and Israel but the radical design hasn t been widely used by the U.S. military. However, a weapon based on a similar platform was produced and briefly tested at the end of World War II.
As part of the U.S. Army’s Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW), which will replace both the M4 Carbine and M249 SAW, one option is a rifle that features a “bullpup” configuration from General Dynamics. This layout places the magazine in the stock behind the pistol group which reduces the length of the weapon but could require some additional training for soldiers used to the legacy systems.
