Here’s more thoughts on shooting with my CCW rig in the match.

Also, this was the topic of Episode 96 of the podcast.

California State University was placed on lockdown after police were called for a “man with a gun” on campus that turned out to be an umbrella.

Shooting competitively with your concealed carry gear is a great way to shake out bugs in your carry rig. On Saturday night Ben and I both shot the PDHSC/Shoot2Live IDPA match in south Raleigh. Before the match Ben mentioned that he was going to shoot his carry gun in the match, and I followed suit. Ben shot his M&P9c from an IWB holster on his hip, and I shot my XDs 9mm from a Crossbreed MiniTuck.

Earlier this evening I shot the PDHSC/Shoot2Live IDPA match in south Raleigh. I decided that today I would shoot my actual concealed carry setup in the match. Even though it’s a match tailored for concealed carry, I usually shoot IDPA with my Glock 34 from what is essentially a competition specific holster (even though it’s within IDPA’s rules, it’s not something I’d carry with outside of a shooting range.)

Tonight I’m watching Star Wars: A New Hope and I watched the scene in the Mos Eisley Cantina where Han Solo is confronted by Greedo looking to collect on Jabba The Huts bounty on him.

On September 6, 2014 the folks at H2O Fowl Farms in Dunn, NC will be hosting the 2nd Annual Coins For Children Charity shooting match.

We’ve all seen a lot of negative news recently when it comes to Police departments, so I thought it would be nice to highlight a police department that is doing it right.

I’ve not been a huge follower of FPS Russia over the years, but I do have a special place in my heart for videos of people blowing stuff up, and in that regard, FPS Russia never seems to disappoint.

In a recent Q&A video on his second YouTube channel, FPS Russla (Kyle) breaks character and talks a bit about his future plans for the channel and how we may start seeing more from Kyle in the future.

It’s definitely weird hearing him talk in a southern accent. It’s like I know it’s him, but something isn’t quite right…

Just an update: We’ve hit, and surpassed the minimum number of orders to get the shirts printed, so have no worries about ordering a shirt and them not getting printed. The shirts will be printed after the campaign ends on August 28, 2014.

Go order your shirt at TeeSpring now!

Don Lemon of CNN went full retard the other day talking about fully automatic vs. semi-automatic rifles. Thankfully, Ben Ferguson was on TV with him at the same time and attempted to set him straight live on air, however I don’t think he was able to get through to Lemon…

Apparently the difference between a fully automatic, and semi-automatic firearm is semantics. I honestly wonder if Lemon is really this ignorant on the issue, or if he’s towing the anti-gun line in a misinformation campaign drum more support for the anti-gun cause.

Last week my wife and I slipped out on a weeknight for dinner at a local Mexican restaurant. It was a dark, rainy night, and we just wanted to get out of the house for a bit. I, of course, was packing my usual EDC gear (Springfield XDs 9mm in a Crossbreed MiniTuck, the Streamlight ProTac HL flashlight that’s been filling EDC duty after my 5.11 ATAC PLx died, keys, wallet, etc.)

Over the weekend a Huffington Post reporter made a gaffe on Twitter, asking if a pile of orange foam earplugs found on the ground in Ferguson, MO were rubber bullets.

Jerry Miculek recently posted a video testing the exact thing that we’ve all been wondering: What would it take to propel an earplug like a rubber bullet?

I definitely expected a lot more velocity from the earplugs, and I was really surprised that many of them didn’t even make it through the cardboard.

A few months back the folks at Carolina Shooters Club asked me if I’d be interested in trying out some “SureStrike Laser Ammo”. I’ll give anything a try once, so I’ve been playing with it for a while, and finally posted my review of the product over at CSC.

This week the Misguided Moms pointed their crosshairs at Kroger in an attempt to get them to “ban” the carrying of firearms in their stores like Starbucks, Chipotle, and Target.

Things like this happen:

Is that projectile a shotgun shell with a semi wadcutter in it?

Last night on Episode 95 of the podcast, Ben introduced a new segment that we’d like to start having on the show. Its becoming a pretty common thing for us to hear from people at matches, or in emails that they shot their first shooting match and had a great time.

This week Ben and I dive into the Skills>Tools topic again. Ben brings up some interesting points about going from a pistol with a lot of modifications to a mostly stock pistol and seeing improvements in his shooting.

Sent to me by my wife. I like it.
