BRCC Christmas Carol: Merry Christmas

Havok Journal: The Firearms Industry Has Become Retarded
Truth or sour grapes? The firearm industry has taken a dramatic turn. It hasn’t exploded like some predicted after the presidential elections. It hasn’t come to a screeching halt like some legislators dreamed. It has become retarded in the last several years. Yes, I used the word “retarded” specifically for its dual meaning: it’s slid […]
Illinois Carry: Everyday Carry Pocket Dump of the Day
Quick pocket dump rundown: GLOCK 43, Leatherman multi-tool, Leatherman Tread, and a spare mag. But what interests me is that Infidel patch and the fact that this gun owner lists his home state as Illinois. Illinois has some – okay, a lot – of issues when it comes to gun rights. From new state licensing […]
WaPo: The AR-15 Rifle is a Nazi-Inspired Illegitimate Killing Machine
This time last year the Washington Post threw together this interesting piece that caught my attention: The AR-15, the military-style rifle that a gunman used to kill 17 people at a South Florida high school Wednesday, is at once a ferociously powerful weapon, a symbol of freedom and individualism, and an object of despairing worry […]
Tactical Wallet Carry: Everyday Carry Pocket Dump of the Day
This pocket dump includes a VP9 and a Dango Tactical Wallet. There’s also a pocket organizer containing an assortment of ink pens and an Atomic Bear Tactical Pen. You might also notice there’s a spare mag…in the pocket organizer. If your spare mag is stored in a zippered organizer, how fast do you think you […]
5 of the Best AR-15 Scope Options
It’s a question that comes up in gun groups on a regular basis: what’s the best AR-15 scopes under X dollars? And just as regularly comes the stream of replies, most forgetting a minor detail beyond their own bias one way or another: application. What’s the intended use of said affordably priced optic? How rigorously […]
Winchester Star: What Good are Gun Laws When They’re Not Enforced?
Some of them are finally starting to catch on. It happens with distressing regularity: A deranged person slaughters innocent victims. Gun control advocates call for new limits on firearms. Then, it is disclosed it was not lack of enough laws but, rather, failure to enforce those already on the books that resulted in the tragedy. […]
Realistic EDC Gear: Everyday Carry Pocket Dump of the Day
I have to say this seems like a far more realistic carry than a lot of what we see. A GLOCK 43 with a spare mag in a Kydex holster with a good folding blade are a nice choice. If it were me I would replace the folder with a fixed-blade knife, possibly a mini […]
Mas Ayoob: Gun Policy Changes Take Significant Time
Mas Ayoob says making positive change happen for gun rights takes time – serious time: If you aren’t already, get involved at the local level. Spread the truth about this polarized issue. Truth is the only antidote to the increasingly massive and toxic prohibitionist propaganda we are seeing in the media. For example, consider this […]
External Safety Use: Everyday Carry Pocket Dump of the Day
Robert says he recently updated his EDC: “Just bought the Kershaw Select Fire. And upgraded to the BLACKHAWK! mag holster. And just bought the Drop Box for my edc.” His daily carry is a Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 chambered in 9mm. I noticed he has the model with an external thumb safety. What do […]
Supt. Eddie Johnson: Chicago’s Gun Violence Deserves Attention Given to the Jussie Smollett Drama
He makes a valid point. At a press conference announcing the charge against Smollett of felony disorderly conduct for filing a false police report, Chicago Superintendent Eddie Johnson stated that the families of those affected by gun crimes “deserve” the attention that Smollett’s story has received. “Before I get started on why we’re here, you […]
Ruger LC9 Carry: Everyday Carry Pocket Dump of the Day
The Ruger LC9 (this one carried in a N82 Tactical IWB holster) is a handgun with a certain following in the gun world. I actually see it appear quite a bit in women’s shooting groups on social media, almost always as a first gun. In fact, a friend of mine just bought his girlfriend one as […]
