Geno from New Hampshire sends his “Current EDC since 2017” for comment. From Everyday Carry. Geno writes that he’s an office professional, meaning he probably drives a desk. I can sympathize. At the same time, he carries a lot of stuff. A whole lot of stuff. His carry piece? A Ruger LCR. I notice the […]
From the Second Amendment Foundation: BELLEVUE, WA – Declaring that so-called “gun-free zones are shooting galleries for maniacs,” the Second Amendment Foundation today is calling for an end to such designations by launching an advertising campaign aimed at print and online publications. “Without a self-defense option,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. […]
The Remington 870 TAC-14 and Mossberg 590 Shockwave “pistol grip firearms” have been quite successful for the two big names in American-made shotguns. Successful enough that both companies have produced a number of variants of these short not-a-shotguns. As the owner of several of these firearms, I have to say my all-time favorite is the […]
So, New Zealand has a quarter-million gun owners with, by most estimates, upwards of two million guns. The government there recently banned most semi-autos following the Christchurch massacre. And now, a local police superintendent describes himself as “ecstatic” that 150 gun owners turned in 224 guns. From NPR: New Zealand’s first gun buyback in the […]
Just a few years ago the idea of concealed carrying with an attached weapon light was a non-starter. I tried with an old Streamlight TLR-3 and found it too bulky and too hard to find a holster I liked. I basically gave up on the idea of using a tactical light until I got my […]
By MarkPA NRA’s system for voting for members of its Board of Directors is “democratic” in the same sense as considered by the Founding Fathers in our constitutional system, i.e., a design that’s recognized as doomed to failure. Should NRA survive its current political troubles I advocate for a redesign of its electoral politics. As […]
By declining to vote on a long list of gun control proposals, Virginia legislators reminded us of what is really preventing America from coming together in a bipartisan way on this issue: Americans are divided between three wildly different gun cultures. First, there is the freedom-loving, law-abiding, gun rights culture that upholds the responsible use […]
Welcome to today’s edition of the Everyday Carry Pocket Dump of the Day. Today we have one from Jonathan Daniels from Overland Park, Kansas. He calls it his “Summer Slim Down.” I think it’s more like a series of Christmas tree ornaments given all the hooks he’s got. For a gun, he’s got a tiny […]
Guns Save Life members netted our second biggest haul ever as we once again turned in broken-down, often rust-laden junk for perfectly good cash at a July 13th Chicago gun “buyback.” GSL will use the proceeds from this event to fund organized youth shooting programs, including sending young people to the nation’s longest-running NRA Youth […]
By Terril James Hebert Being in front of and behind many a gun store counter has taught me that pocket pistols sell. Full-sized handguns and long guns simply don’t move quite like today’s pocket polymer .380s, single-stack 9mm’s, and .38 Special snub-nosed revolvers. The gun industry has consistently striven to put more power into as […]
Seventy-two-year-old Ridgely Whitmore Brown owned a number of firearms. But after inviting a woman he met at a Stamford, Connecticut strip club back to his home last year, six of the guns went missing. And the attorney didn’t report the theft as he’s required to do under Connecticut law. Brown, it seems, was the trusting […]
By David Lewis Yesterday, in Part 1, we looked at the basics of how suppressors work and what they do when you shoot with one. But lots of people want to know… Are Silencers Legal? Silencers aren’t the easiest firearm accessories to purchase. They are heavily regulated, just like actual machine guns, under the National […]
