Last month, the National Rifle Association sued its longtime PR and marketing firm, Ackerman McQueen for failure to produce detail supporting millions of dollars in billing to the gun rights org.

Timothy Miller, a reported firearms instructor from the Golden State offers his Everyday Carry. Via Everyday Carry, of course. So, gee. Where should we start. A firearms instructor who carries a 6″ Colt Python that looks brand new, with a shiny nickel finish without a hint of holster wear. And no holster. Concealing a 6″ […]
You’ve heard it a thousand times. “God created men and Sam Colt made them equal.” In other words, a firearm allows a smaller, weaker, slower or older individual to defend him or herself when attacked by someone younger, stronger and faster. Case in point: 80-year-old Ernesto Del Monte of south Florida. He was getting into […]

By Chris W. Cox When I started with NRA in 1995, most of the attention our organization received was over legislative efforts in Congress. Firearm-related legislation at the federal level obviously has an impact on far more law-abiding gun owners than what happens in a single state. As I wrote last month, though, Congress often […]
She could have just said, “No Democrat can be a viable candidate in 2020 without supporting radical gun control laws,” but that would have been a Kinsley gaffe. Her campaign doesn’t mention anything about supporting the Second Amendment, but as of her 2012 op-ed, the senator believes in both “the Constitution and an individual’s right […]
Specialist 38, a technical specialist from the South East, sends his “Bare Minimum” setup. From Everyday Carry. Like many of us, he’s always got a gun on. In fact, sometimes more than one. Here’s what he writes: This is what I carry every day. I may carry more (like a spare mag or another gun) […]
