Fewer than 10% of United States prison inmates are female, and women seldom make the news as perpetrators of violent crimes. This past week, an incident in Yuma, Arizona, stood out as an exception to the latter trend. At about 1:25 a.m., the occupants of a home were awoken by sounds coming from outside the house. […]
Gunsite. Arguably the mecca of firearms training facilities in America. Naturally, when Buz Mills, Ken Campbell and Jane Anne Shimizu sought me out at SHOT Show to invite me to a Ladies Pistol Class at their facility in Paulden, AZ, I jumped at the chance! Even with the hundreds of hours of training I’ve put in […]
“We think Senate Bill 1487 is probably the most offensive and improper overreact (sic) of state government into local affairs that I’ve ever seen in my career. With having the enormous threat of withholding state shared revenues, which is generally about 40 percent of a city’s operating budget as a hammer — it is simply […]
The Sheriffs in Arizona may be getting shot at with Fast n’ Furious guns, but they are not taking it lightly. In fact, the sheriffs are shooting back, at the Obama Administration. Per USA Today:

From the “Just when you thought it was safe to put Arizona out of your mind re: mass murders” file comes this news item, courtesy of Reuters:

Yep. The crack reporters at the Associated (de)Press(ed – hat tip to Mark Levin) are rested, ready and a-rarin’ to go, with coverage on the Jared Lee Loughner phenomenon. Well, that is if you count “incompetent sheriff’s apologist” as Excellence in Journalism. When even the New York Times feels obligated to point out that the […]
Speaking as one scrupulously-law-abiding citizen who doesn’t do anything, ever, that would endanger the status of his concealed handgun license, I’m scratching my head over Greeley, Colorado school board member/DJ Brett Reese and his behavior. Well, kinda. You see, it also turns out he’s apparently a far-right whack job (hey, MikeB302000, we found one!), who’s […]
If you’re a member of the TTAGencia, you’ve heard a lot lately about the outrage (Outrage, I say!) on the Left side of the aisle regarding who’s behind the Safeway Massacre in Arizona. The Left claims that Sarah Palin is to blame, due to her website map that used crosshairs to indicate which races the […]
A lot has been said about the Giffords case, both here on TTAG and elsewhere. And like most emotionally-charged cases, when all is said and done, more’s been said, than done.
