Today’s defensive gun use of the day comes to us from The Last Frontier. Earlier this month, a 19-year-old man in fatigues broke into a municipal building in the town of Kwethluk in southwest Alaska. According to Alaska Public Radio, “He staged rifles inside, and activated the fire alert system. When village police officers responded, […]
An influx of new gun owners has the potential to permanently alter the politics surrounding guns in the United States. If industry estimates are correct, millions of Americans across the country have become first-time gun buyers since March. If the experience changes their minds about the ongoing debate over gun control it could tip the balance of […]
James in Georgia writes . . . I’m currently carrying a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 38 revolver (new model with attached laser). In shorts and a t-shirt, it hides well and will help solve issues with two- or four-legged predators until I (or my wife) can reach a long gun. This post is part […]
They promised us flying cars. We’re still waiting. Tesla and Uber don’t begin to cut it. But now, after a successful test by the US Pacific fleet, it looks like frickin’ laser beams have finally fully taken a big step into the 21st century. From CNN: Images and videos provided by the Navy show the […]
Wyoming-based premium rifle maker Gunwerks had been doing business with Wells Fargo for years. When the bank recently tried to change the collateral valuation basis underlying the company’s working capital loan, lender and borrower got into a dispute. That dispute escalated over time and resulted in Wells Fargo filing suit against Gunwerks earlier this week. […]

While my inner lawyer knows that a gun owner should file a report every single time he or she has to draw a weapon, regardless of […]
rudukai13 writes . . . The importants: anchored by a heavily modified SIG P320 X-Carry and spare magazine, the most recent change to my carry has been swapping out a folding karambit for a one-off custom Karambit-Pikal hybrid fixed blade by Ironside Edgeworks. Other than that my carry has remained the same for nearly two […]
In March, three plainclothes officers of the Louisville Police Department, driving and unmarked car, reportedly burst into an apartment where Breonna Taylor and her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker were sleeping.

And why didn’t the safety mavens at the National Rifle Association catch it?
The raging Dr. Jennifer Rager-Kay made news earlier this week when a private social media post she wrote became public. The Pennsylvania physician and school board member had threatened to shoot anyone not wearing a mask who approached her or her family. As a result of the predictable blowback she’s received for making the threat, […]
There’s a big push on right now by gun controllers, Democrats and the media (BIRM) to raise the alarm about the looming threat posed by 3D-printed guns (and 80% firearms, too). The prohibitionists are liberally tossing around the term “ghost gun” wherever they can. It’s just the kind of terrifying term the Civilian Disarmament Industrial […]
