Oh, sure. I know what you’re thinking. Just after Martin Albright posted a well-reasoned, rational argument against Open Carry, here comes another article with a contrarian view. Will the madness never end? Why can’t we all just get along? When will Kozak stop shooting off his mouth? Ahem. (Short answer: never.) Well, strictly speaking I […]
“Loose is good.” I think. Since that’s really just a hunch, I did the easiest most journalistically-thorough thing and Googled the phrase. My results? Well, let’s just say they stuck a collective finger in my gut: nearly every hit involved Weight Watchers. Then I repeated the search with the SafeSearch™ filter off, at which point […]
The AK is the epitome of the sexy/scary “assault rifle” genre. With its sinister angles and scythe-like Magazine, the weapon just oozes danger and coolness. In contrast, the SKS is an ungainly, plain-Jane looking lump. You could even say that the SKS (Samozaryadni Karabin Simonova or Simonov’s Self-loading Carbine) is the AK-47’s ugly older sister. While […]
During the course of TTAG’s relocation exploration, I met up with Army vet and TTAG writer Martin Albright in urban sprawl Colorado. After patiently waiting for your humble scribe for an hour-and-a-half (sainthood pending), Martin demoed and shot his new AR. As usual, I mega-flinched during the initial firing sequence. If you must know, I […]
If there’s one thing I like more than shooting it’s being a cheap bastard saving money. It’s the main reason I got into reloading: more shooting for less bucks. Eco-warrior that I am, reloading spent brass also gives me something to do with all that spare metal. I mean, you can’t just throw it away. […]
The Denver Post Online reports that the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled Thursday in favor of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus. The group, profiled here by TTAG, argued that 1994 Colorado University (CU) concealed weapons ban violated state gun laws. Specifically, the ban tramped on the Concealed Carry Act of 2003. The ruling revives […]
Besides being mechanically inept, I don’t have a particularly green thumb. That’s probably because I’d never been a homeowner until I got married last year. Also, in my 23 years of military service, tending to the greenery was a work detail, or, more often, a punishment (oops, I mean “additional training). So we have a […]
After creating, selling and leaving The Truth About Cars, I thought I’d never find a subject that would engage me as fully as all things automotive. Boy, was I wrong. The Truth About Guns (TTAG) is the most exciting project I’ve ever started, and man I’ve started a few. (Then again, too many to mention.) […]
Rented the movie “Couples Retreat” a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, not much more than a mediocre film (maybe two stars, max.) As is the case with too many movies today, the trailer makes it look much funnier than it actually is. I’m not even sure it should be classified as a “comedy.” But there’s a […]
