By Dr. Larry Trick “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” – Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759 “The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms, like law, discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer […]

If we didn’t know better, we’d think that certain branches of the US Government were secretly trying to undermine gun controllers’ arguments about who is and who isn’t sufficiently qualified to own firearms. You’ve heard the gun-grabbers bray it thousands of times: only police and the military are qualified to wield guns. The average citizen […]
An email blast from Unique-ARs: If you’ve ever designed a custom handguard from us, you more than likely worked with our designer, Rich. He’s a huge part of our team, and our family here at Unique.

We originally ran the following post in anticipation of Hurricane Florence. It’s now just as relevant for Hurricane Michael as it bears down on the Florida panhandle and points north. From weather.com: Hurricane Michael is forecast to strike the Florida Panhandle at least at Category 3 intensity driving life-threatening storm surge flooding, destructive winds and flooding rainfall. Michael will also […]

This week I was honored to spend some time with a Second Amendment community legend Larry Vickers. As you might expect I spoke to him about Armed Equality and, of course, asked for his expert opinion on the topic of reform within the greater Second Amendment community at large.

And what do you know…they’ve found that the CDC’s numbers are off. Way off. To wit: For journalists, researchers and the general public, the Centers for Disease Control and […]
By Dr. LateBloomer We’ve all heard the adage “Physician Heal Thyself”. This ancient proverb was originally intended as an admonition to mind one’s own problems rather than advising others on theirs. Physicians (even ancient world ones) have always been notoriously bad at taking care of others’ “business” before their own. Physicians’ own needs often come […]
Reader Michael in GA writes: I’ve been populating my YouTube feed recently viewing “cop watch”, open carry, and 1st Amendment “audit” videos. I realize the attitude towards these citizen journalists from the Armed Intelligentsia varies at least as much as a caliber war. I am neither advocating nor admonishing the activities of the civilians in […]
The 2018 Gun Rights Policy Conference is being held at the Chicago O’Hare airport Hyatt Regency this year. I arrived after driving up from Dallas. The hotel had something new this year. A small “no guns” sign in red on the entrance doors. We were told the hotel coffee for the conference costs the Second Amendment […]
By MarkPA Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership is devoted to…responsible run ownership.
