SoCal Jack sends everything including his pants in today’s Everyday Carry Pocket Dump of the Day. Yes, indeed. He sums it up nicely. This is my current functional EDC; nothing fancy. The gun’s mag has a Magguts +1 and the spare mag SI extension is a +2 for a total of 18 rounds, either HST’s […]
By NRA-ILA After signing six gun control measures into law a year ago, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy warned that “Our work is far from done.” Several new bills are now making the rounds in a state already notorious for its extreme and oppressive firearm laws. On June 13, the Assembly Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the new […]
By Elizabeth McGuigan A newly released survey shows gun owners aren’t opposed to the idea of authorized user technology in firearms. But only 5 percent would be very likely to purchase one themselves due to their concerns about reliability and cost. About 70 percent said they were very or somewhat concerned about the reliability of the so-called […]
By Marlie Patton In 1997, I purchased my first firearm: a 9mm Sigma made by Smith & Wesson. At the time, I thought I was taking a bold step in the direction of protecting myself. I’d never fired a weapon before, despite being raised in a family with uncles and grandparents who hunted deer for food. […]
By NRA-ILA Amy Dickinson is an advice columnist who, according to the company that syndicates her work, “combines storytelling with advice that is rooted with honesty and trust.” “Ask Amy” appears in newspapers that include The Baltimore Sun, The Chicago Tribune, The Lost Angeles Times, and The Washington Post. She is also billed as an “expert […]
John Lott on the consistently inaccurate reporting surrounding “gun violence” incidents. What Lott’s too polite to say is that the media have a rooting interest in presenting these incidents they way they do. So don’t look for anything to change any time soon. After the Virginia Beach attack, The Wall Street Journal noted, “In Virginia, […]
Tony from Cincinnati sends this “The Norm” via Everyday Carry. He’s a real estate and commercial photographer by trade. His most unusual item, aside from the 500Gb Samsung SSD drive? The OD Green Sniper’s Veil. Really? Maybe he uses it to keep himself cool, or his gear out of the sun. I dunno. But it […]
AR Sales Skyrocket in Washington Ahead of New We’ve talked about Washington’s Initiative 1639 before. It puts a host of new restrictions on gun owners, including requiring a permanent waiver of their HIPAA rights before buying a handgun or semi-automatic rifle. Ahead of this, Washingtonians are buying up everything they can get their hands on. […]
An EDC flashlight is one of the best pieces of gear you can carry, along with a decent pocket knife and/or a multitool. The basic features to look for in an EDC flashlight are durability, output (in lumens), and length of charge. In other words, get you one with a metal housing that can take […]
By Robert B. Young, MD The murderous attack May 31 in the Virginia Beach city government building has predictably elicited outrage and opportunism by masses of sensitive, easily triggered [all puns intended] anti-gun activists and legislators. A large fraction of them are of course Democrats running for their party’s Presidential nomination. It’s seldom that something unifies […]
By Travis Pike Firearms drills are an absolute blast. They sharpen your skills, give you a challenge and can change the way you think about shooting and self-defense. They can also be an eye-opener, and a means to evaluate your skills really. So without further distraction here are my five favorite firearms training drills. The […]
By Larry Keane Last week a group of Democrats in Congress held a press conference to discuss gun control. It’s not entirely clear why their remarks were newsworthy. It was simply another instance of gun control advocates advocating for gun control in front of the media. Their hook was that it had been 100 days since the […]
