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 […]
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 […]
He’s right, you know… A great example is the AR-15. They are remarkably more accurate than any handgun and generally easy to operate, making them excellent in a situation where someone is directly threatening your family and/or property. However, because there are evil persons out there who abuse this rifle, Washington’s best and brightest currently […]
Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich is out there fighting the good fight, but it seems that, in Washington State, he might as well stand on the shore and command the tide to stop. “Here’s the harsh reality for everyone on I-1639: It’s not about school safety. It didn’t make your schools any safer,” he said. […]
Not brand new but it caught my eye… I built a semi-automatic rifle in my kitchen. I’ll bet that’s one sentence you’d never thought you’d hear. Neither did I, until the day I decided to do it. In my extended group of friends, seven of us own AR-15-type rifles. Perhaps not coincidentally, we each bought […]
Clearly, anyone in favor of civilian AR ownership is 1) disturbed, 2) an NRA stooge, or 3) has a financial interest in arms sales. …here’s the thing. The AR-15 and its variants should be banned. Specifically, the country should return to a 1990s ban on so-called “assault weapons” that U.S. Congress let expire in 2004, […]

‘Tis the season for Christmas cookies – and Christmas music, decorations, and trees, but I digress. I know I’m not the only one who does some holiday-specific baking this time of year and even if you don’t bake, I’m sure you eat them by the pound (just saying). Whether you’re making gingerbread cookies or classic […]
Building an AR-15 might seem like a daunting task at first but in reality it’s a simple process – as long as you follow the steps and use the right tools. Tools are a definite issue; channel locks and a finishing nail are not what you need for the job (yes, I’m looking at you). […]
My state of birth is Washington State. I was fortunate to grow up in a state with stunning mountains, plentiful pine trees, and more sunshine than one might expect. When I started shooting and hunting I discovered something else: Washington State had darn good laws relating to gun rights and awesome hunting opportunities. Fast forward […]
