False ~ Mike “Duke” Venturino Passed

[Mickey D]

It’s being reported on FB gun related pages that gun rag writer Mike Ventutino passed away this passed Wednesday. No further detail posted.
UPDATE: Just got word from the Duke that someone played a prank on him.
He’s alive!!!

Sad news. He had quite the firearms collection including Class 3s.

Damn. I use to enjoy reading his articles. I thought they were informative. Rest In Peace sir.

I enjoyed reading his boolit casting articles most, but almost all his gun writing was engaging and informative. RIP.

You hate hearing such things... but with a POTENTIAL SlowJoe Insurrection coming, MISSING that, doesn't sound so bad...

The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

I am glad Mike Venturino is still with us. He is one of the few Gunwriters who is an active competitive shooter, and thus, he has a much better idea of how important marksmanship is to hitting the target. He does not make the exaggerated long distance shooting claims that are commonly found in the in print magazines.

I guess they were bored of saying Eddie Murphy died.
