It’s spring turkey season in much of the country (or just about to be). And Stevens, the shotgun brand of Savage Arms, has just announced a new lighter shooting way to bring home a gobbler. Here’s their press release . . . Stevens 301 Transforms the .410 Into a Turkey Killer WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – March […]
That madness that afflicts some people this time of year seems to have even affected the good people of central Iowa. The Brownells folks don’t just fix firearms and ship out sears, magazines bronze brushes and ammo. It looks like they have interests outside of work, too. #SteveO is pretty upset and has had enough! […]
Richard F. of Fort Lee, New Jersey writes in with a couple of questions: I had an FFL while on active duty with the USAF around 1987. I let the FFL lapse. Is there a way to renew it now? The answer is no, you can’t renew it. You’d need to re-apply, get a new […]
You’d think that media types would do the most basic research — or at least call someone who knows — before revealing their astounding ignorance whenever they write about guns. But pulling misinformation from their posteriors and spouting this kind of nonsense seems to be a prerequisite for the job. Anyway, go ahead and break […]
File this under questions no one is asking: When a teen activist from Sweden can inspire far-reaching school climate strikes — and a Nobel Peace Prize nomination — is it really too much to ask the International Olympic Committee as well to seek to make a difference, a really big difference, in our broken world?

If you want a 9mm 1911 pistol, but didn’t necessarily want to go whole-hog on a custom gun, you’ll want to start with a decent gun that gives you all the good parts of the 1911 experience. The ergonomics, the trigger system, the capacity and the unbelievably tame recoil of the 9mm round. Granted, shooting […]
Reader Steve Cañón writes: Many comments made by readers on TTAG seems to indicate that too many gun owners are fighting the last war. “Assault weapons” bans, bump stock prohibitions, registration, etc. Many expect the ever-increasing gun control laws in this country to eventually result in and armed, kitted-up special teams going through neighborhoods, house-to-house, […]
An apparent terror attack took place earlier today in the Dutch city of Utrecht. According to the BBC, the shooter may have opened fire in other locations in the city as well. Reminder: Here’s how the AP is reporting it: By ALEKSANDAR FURTULA and MIKE CORDER UTRECHT, Netherlands (AP) — Dutch police were hunting down […]
They apparently didn’t want armed school resource officers or teachers carrying firearms. So they did this . . . Most of the teachers in Jay Schools don’t know where each building’s handgun is kept. They also don’t know which of their co-workers are trained to use it. Neither do the students nor their parents. Here’s what they […]
Mark, our Human Resources guru, submits this “Off to Work” EDC from Everyday Carry. In it, Mark has a GLOCK 19 (carried on an empty chamber, apparently) in a Bravo Concealment holster. Bravo Concealment sent me a holster to do a review on shortly before my life turned upside down last summer. I liked it […]
If you’ve ever worked in a public or government job, you know how difficult it can be to discipline, let alone fire an employee. Public employee unions and contracts make a normal employer/employee relationship nearly impossible. In New York, for instance, teachers who commit a variety of infractions, but can’t be fired due to the […]
As the enormity of last week’s mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand unfolded, Labour Party Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern wasted no time in announcing that she’d be clamping down on civilian gun ownership.
