Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri has no great love for civilians with guns. In fact, at one time, he threatened to shoot first and ask questions later when it came to concealed carry licensees. So imagine the surprise when he says armed staff could have taken down the Parkland high school killer. In fact, Gualtieri […]
Last weekend’s orgy of violence in Chicago actually made the national news. With 78 shooting victims and 12 dead, it well and truly should have. But as a closer look makes extremely clear Chicago has a virulent gang problem, not a gun problem. What’s more, Chicago Police internal documents show gang involvement in virtually every […]
I’ve written on several occasions about how the far left has turned to violence when they can’t win a political debate. Today we have q report of a Florida Democrat and avowed Obama supporter who armed himself, drove to a Facebook “friend’s” house and shot him over an on-line political disagreement. With Facebook friends like that […]
Pity poor David Hogg. He held a rally Saturday at the NRA world headquarters near Fairfax, Virginia. While (someone’s) money can pay to organize rallies against gun rights and provide armed security, money doesn’t buy intelligent demonstrators. While the event played out, the National Rifle Association didn’t miss the chance to ridicule Hogg and his […]
Illinois celebrated its first ‘Barack Obama Day‘ on Saturday. Meanwhile in the former president’s adopted home town, gang violence ran rampant. With high temperatures and low self-control, the city’s criminal class kept hospitals busy. By the end of the holiday weekend, 60 were wounded and 10 had died. Operating from their standard summer season playbook, Chicago […]
A father and concealed carry license holder did what he had to do when faced with a naked child molester in Georgia. Tae Lovelace and his family worked to feed the homeless at a church event. As they enjoyed the day, a man began taking his clothes off and grabbing at people, including children. Mr. […]
Remember the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case from Sanford, Florida? Who could forget? Well, it looks like Illinois will host a similar legal battle in the coming months. The shooting death of Xavier Hartman in western Illinois has inflamed passions and left residents divided and confused. During a confrontation in rural Galva, Illinois, a 59-year-old white […]
While TTAG’s Luis Valdez spent Saturday at the Big Gun Rights Rally in Florida, I spent the weekend in Illinois teaching kids how to shoot pistols. We made memories for the kids on that pistol line. Not only that, but we made sure these young men and women stayed safe while having fun and learning […]
The smiles keep me coming back to help at America’s longest-running NRA Youth Shooting Camp in Bloomington, Ilinois. Darnall’s GunWorks and Ranges hosts the kids each year for a four-day, three night gun camp on their property. This year marks the 24th year for the event. It’s also probably the only National Rifle Association summer camp […]
Times have changed, with politics playing an ever-greater role in our lives. And in today’s world, some prosecutors seem more inclined to pursue charges in self-defense shootings. This goes double where violent aggressors lack a firearm, no matter the other factors. Skip Gochenour talked of this at length in his seminar at the Rangemaster Tactical […]
Democrat Kevin Leon, otherwise known as Kevin de León, wants to unseat Dianne Feinstein as one of California’s US Senators. His campaign platform includes unrelenting gun control for the little people. Meanwhile, as he campaigns against guns for you and me, he retains his armed security. The San Francisco Chronicle spilled the beans on Leon’s […]
Today, the chickens came home to roost for the NY Daily News. Fully half their staff will get the axe as a result of lost subscribers and advertisers. Furthermore, the owners of NY’s rabidly partisan newspaper also sacked editor-in-chief Jim Rich. For years, The Daily News has worn its leftist politics on the front page […]
