The Truth About Guns

By Virgil Caldwell Colt enjoys perhaps the greatest name recognition of any gun maker. Iconic handguns and the uses they have been put to in times of war and trouble are part of the reason. Solid performing handguns is another. While I prefer the Government Model 1911 .45 for concealed carry and personal defense, I […]

Proposed laws requiring the reporting of lost or stolen firearms are becoming popular across the United States. The latest example is in Missouri, where State Representative-Elect Rasheen Aldridge, D-St. Louis, has pre-filed House Bill 1824, to require reporting of lost or stolen firearms within 72 hours of discovering the loss. These laws are generally pushed […]

I own a lot of knives. More than any healthy person probably should (and definitely more than my wife should know about). One of my favorites, though, and certainly one of the more unique blades in my regular carry rotation, is the Sandrin carbon fiber/titanium TCK . This blade is a true thing of beauty. […]

By Larry Keane Gun control advocates have found a new way to spike the football, so to speak. Instead of standing in the end zone celebrating a victory, they’re mugging for the cameras from their own three-yard line. Hardly a win when they’re not even close to where they want to be and certainly when […]

We’ve all heard this load of pure, pungent Oscar Mayer processed meat product for decades. Federal law (in the form of the Dickey Amendment) prevents research into “gun violence!” The Civilian Disarmament Industrial Complex loves to claim that we can’t possibly do anything about the (non-existent) gun violence epidemic in this country if we can’t […]

It’s one thing for when it happens in a state that has just shifted from red to blue. But the breadth of the Virginia movement and the coverage it’s received (not to mention the political hysterics involved) in the national media seem to have spread the #resistance contagion (even if it’s a non-binding resolution) even […]

By Austin Knudsen Is the Smtih & Wesson 1006 still the best 10mm pistol ever made? I never really got on the 10mm train. Sure, I’d read the articles and knew all of the history. The 1986 Florida FBI shootout. Colonel Jeff Cooper. And the cult gun of all cult guns, the Bren Ten. It […]

By David Schlake While most hunters know how to field dress a deer, many don’t know how or don’t want to fully process their own, prompting them to seek professional assistance. For those who do it on their own, the process is messy and time-consuming. And, for those who pay someone else to do it, it […]

Ever since I was a kid, I geeked out on precision rifles. I would take my Marlin 880 SS .22LR out almost every day and focus on tight groups and crazy shooting positions. I got pretty good considering it had a terrible trigger and I shot the cheapest ammo available. I remember getting frustrated when […]

It’s always a good idea to approach in-person sales transactions with strangers with caution. A Chicago woman found out why when she met with a 14-year-old girl to complete the sale of an item (police didn’t reveal what the item was). When the two met up, the girl pulled out a pellet gun and hit […]

When my 7mm Remington Magnum came down from its recoil, my first-ever feral hog was down, too. However, before I could bring the rifle back on target, the boar had struggled to its feet and made it into the palmetto-hardwood forest bounding the Gum Log Plantation food plot. Though I would have to track ‘my’ […]

New Zealand’s banned gun confiscation program has been a rolling dumpster fire since Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern rammed the law through following last year’s mosque shootings in Christchurch. The “buyback” became a national joke, marked by pathetically low participation rates and police begging gang members to please turn in their guns. Now, according to the […]

By Gretchen Ehlke and Ivan Moreno, Associated Press A police officer shot an armed male student in a classroom at a suburban Milwaukee high school Monday morning after the teenager pointed a gun at officers, a police chief said. Officers performed life-saving measures on the 17-year-old Waukesha South High School student, who is in custody […]

If Gabrielle Blair didn’t exist, the pro-rights movement would have to invent her, if only for the comedic relief. She approaches gun people control with all the expertise of an interior designer. Ms. Blair achieved her bit of internet fame the other day with a simple(-minded) tweet. There are far better ways to protect your […]

Want to stuff somebody’s stocking who concealed carries? Put something they’ll love under the tree? There’s plenty of absolutely great gear out there, and some that lots that will fit almost any budget. While the obvious seem to be guns or ammo, not every state is friendly towards that. So we’ll mostly stick to awesome […]

The quote of the day is presented by Guns.com. There are few things that terrify a New York-based member of the media more than the idea of normal people out in America doing normal things. Things like plinking and having a little fun with a firearm. So you can imagine the level of alarm that resulted […]

We’ve all been there. We try to commit to memory some basic facts about guns in our society to keep at our fingertips should the need arise. We want to be ready if we find ourselves challenged by someone who can’t understand why anyone needs a gun. For instance, there’s the fact that your child […]

Gun control advocates love to claim that the Founding Fathers couldn’t possibly have conceived of repeating rifles when they drafted the Second Amendment to the Bill of Rights. The history of Joseph Belton, an inventor and gunsmith from Philadelphia, and his correspondence with the Continental Congress proves otherwise. Belton claimed to have devised a new […]

Another school shooting, another call for more gun control laws. This time, in the state with more gun control laws than any other. It won’t — can’t — work. The only way to end “gun violence” is to forcibly confiscate and destroy every single firearm in the country. Not just privately owned weapons; everything. Then […]
