While virtually all gun owners act responsibly and ethically with their guns, sometimes “that guy” can’t do either. We call them squirrels in our concealed carry classes. Anyway, one of these squirrels nearly killed himself with a negligent discharge during a medical office visit in Peoria last week. The man carried a Cobra .38 Special […]
Most of the news concerning MAGA hats in recent days has been concerning bogus accounts of Trump supporters allegedly assaulting pedestrians in Chicago. And as we noted, some consider the red hats to be the modern equivalent of a Klan hood. Yesterday, however, things were ratcheted up to a new level in a Bowling Green, […]

Oklahoma News 4 puts a rather blatant slant on a Thanksgiving Day hunting accident in a story they titled ‘Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Warns Against Hunting with Assault Rifles.’ Granted it would have helped if the DNR/DoW guy they interviewed hadn’t also thrown around the phrase “assault rifle” like it was pepper on mashed potatoes.
