Eli, a 58-year-old pizza maker from the Bay State shows his “My Everyday Work EDC” courtesy Everyday Carry. Frankly, much of America cannot carry at work, either because of company policies or because of they are legally prohibited locations. Those of us who can carry have good fortune. Like Eli, in the very gun-unfriendly state […]
Smith & Wesson has has a certified hit on its hands with the M&P380 Shield EZ. It’s a concealable, easy-racking gun for those who can’t or don’t want to handle something in a bigger caliber (see Jeremy’s 5-star review here). Now S&W has let it be known they’re giving the M&P380 Shield EZ the Performance […]
Some things can’t really be improved upon. Take, for instance, Jeremy’s review of the full-size Ruger Security-9 9mm pistol we published last January. He pretty much nailed it. Ruger’s now making a compact size model and from re-reading his take, I can confidently echo virtually everything he had to say about the bigger gun. Well, almost. […]
By NRA-ILA When it comes to the wellbeing of today’s youth, one would think that all could agree that provoking unnecessary fear should be avoided. That apparently is not the case, however, when it comes to pushing the narrative that changes are urgently needed to America’s gun control laws to keep schoolchildren safe from an […]
By John Sprague There is a large contingent of gun users — many of them here — who are adamant that the only safety a gun needs is a little control over your booger hook. I would like to present an alternative view. Manual safeties are not the enemy of readiness that some would have […]
By Dr. Michael S. Brown [DRGO author Dr. Michael Brown replied to a friend of his on Facebook. His description of anti-gun emotion versus pro-rights reason is instructive — as well as being able to remain friends.] Charles: “Approximately 1.4 million people have died from firearms in the U.S. between 1968 and 2011. This number includes […]
Facts to a gun control advocate are like garlic to a vampire. The fastest way I refute the central premise of gun control mythology today in a debate of the issue with someone who has little to no math background: I point out that in Wyoming, we can buy a gun, buy the ammo, conceal […]
US Army Command Sergeant Major John (retired) sends this “Summer Carry” from Everyday Carry. Just grabbing the photo, the first thing I thought was this guy is far too organized. But then again, attaining a CSM rating in the US Army’s enlisted ranks makes him pretty squared away. My life runs far more chaotic, but […]
In Part 1, we went over GLOCK, Steyr, and UZI. GLOCK, in my opinion, had some great ads that really tried to capture the spirit of how different and revolutionary their pistols were back then. Today we’re going to take a look at some other big names of the era. Colt, of course, with their […]
By NRA-ILA The New York Times – the “paper of record” – reports that “Gun Research is Suddenly Hot.” While we’re happy to see the Times has finally acknowledged that “gun research” can survive federal restrictions on taxpayer funded gun control advocacy, there are necessary caveats here. The volume of “gun violence research” may be increasing, but the […]
The M16 has a fascinating history in many ways. Its appearance is iconic, and has certainly become part of American culture. It is also a symbol, a microcosm, representing both American ingenuity, blunders…but also triumph. The M16 design and development process itself was a brutal slog, resulting in a number of wrongheaded missteps, and ultimately […]
By NRA-ILA Proving there is no statute of limitations on political opportunism, this week former President Bill Clinton used the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the tragic school shooting in Littleton, Colo. to pen an op-ed pushing the modern gun control agenda. In doing so, Clinton adopted several of the tired falsehoods that have become […]
