Once again Obama shows a complete lack of respect for America & our Flag. This is the kind of Change America could do without....

The firearms related syndication website FirearmsBlogs.com was started earlier this week.  It features content from a variety of pro gun rights blogs - including LearnAboutGuns.com.  As of the time I wrote this post, the included pro gun websites were: AKeyboardAndA.45 ArmedAndSafe ArmsAndTheLaw.com Civilian Gun Self-Defense Blog GunDebateCritic...

So the Obama/Bayh bumper stickers were a leak to distract folks. It looks like it’s Joe Biden. So, like I did with Bayh, let’s look at Biden’s record. We don’t have to go far. Remember the YouTube debates where he said a gun owner was not “mentally qualified” to own guns for simply asking a question. http://...

Here’s some video of a few familiar bloggers shooting plates with Todd Jarrett with us today at ParaUSA Gun Blogger Summer Camp.  Caleb is looking pretty sharp.  It’s going to be an interesting settling of this bet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pot6c7H8G78 Tomorrow is going to be a lot of fun. ...

Pretty tired. Sitting here with six gun bloggers (now that Sebatian/Snowflakes in Hell came upstairs). They're probably concentrating on the shooting so I'll cover what led up to it. First a trip to sponsor Blackhawk, which made the holster and other equipment we're using. VERY inventive folks. They operate with development and manufacturing in ta...

A write up some first impression stuff here. ...

JR has a write up and a pic of our ride. ...

I have an air gun in the car if the .22 is too much.   In other news, Caleb shouldn’t leave himself logged into the blog while Robb is around ;) ...

Caleb is having a bad day. (I kid, he left his computer unattended while Robb was around). ...

How do gun bloggers spend the evening after getting off of the range? Posting to their blogs of course.All of the images I took today are still in my camera. I should have downloaded the appropriate software from home 'cause this Wifi is sloooow. So no images with this post, I will download the software while I sleep so we'll have images tomorr...

Hence, the no bloggy yet. Sorry about that. At the ParaUSA event at Blackwater, 8,000 acres of kick ass. This morning, we spent time at Blackhawk. Got the skinny on their lines of holsters and their apparel line. Also, they recently aquired Knoxx and have a line of recoil reducing stocks. They have a new stock coming out for the 10-22 (sans recoil ...

On Blackhawk: These guys are making and designing a lot of cool gear.  SayUncle and I were particularly interested in their upcoming tactical stocks for the Ruger 10/22.  We saw a prototype version, and they say the final production version will be better, which is good because I thought the prototype was pretty sharp.  Blackhawk has been absolu...

Now that Drudge has likely leaked the identity of Obama’s running mate, there are a few things gun owners should know about him. NRA rated him as D- in his last election. One reason is because he’s a liar. Take this example: Sen. Bayh pledged last year [2004] to support legislation to block frivolous lawsuits against the firearm indus...

Funeral Picketing Ban Upheld by Sixth Circuit: Today’s Phelps-Roper v. Strickland upholds a ban on "’picketing’ or ‘other protest activities,’ within 300 feet of the funeral or burial service, from one hour before until one hour after the funeral or burial service." ("Other protest activities" is de...

I can’t post photos from the range, but I can post this image: That dewpoint of 68 can’t be terribly comfortable. Consider what the National Weather Service says about dewpoint numbers: less then or equal to 55: dry and comfortable between 55 and 65: becoming a bit “sticky” with muggy evenings greater then or equal to 65:...

Rusty has had a little fun at the expense of all of the bloggers training with Todd Jarrett this weekend. Go check out his handy work. ...

Put that in your peace pipe and smoke it, Brady! Even if you call normal person-to-person purchases a "loophole," it apparently isn't being used. It's About the Bill of Rights, Not Profits Would it be wrong to try to gain insider knowledge on a group of people who were intent on silencing newspapers, and ending all publishing in the United States?...

This just shows how far the silliness goes. Even though the balloons are made out of latex, "whose chief ingredient is made from the sap of rubber trees, will degrade at the same rate as an oak leaf, in similar conditions," the Dems have set up their own compost pile to test this out.The Democrats might let the air out of a convention tradition at...

So far, 86% of voters think Joe will win the bet. If you think Caleb can out-shoot Joe, it’s time to get over there and make your vote count. If you think Joe will top Caleb, make sure you show him your support by voting. Make this a memorable Battle of the Gun Blogs! ...

Senator Kat Bailey does and excellent job explaining why the Second Amendment protects and individual right to keep and bear arms, independent of service in the militia.

As you probably know I'm a huge Glenn Beck fan largely because he's an ardent supporter of gun rights in addition to the fact that he often mirrors exactly what I'm thinking on many of the issues he......

The London Times has this discussion about relationships that develop during the Olympic games:it is worth noting an intriguing dichotomy between the sexes in respect of all this coupling. The chaps who win gold medals - even those as geeky as Michael Phelps - are the principal objects of desire for many female athletes. There is something about sp...

This strikes me as an extremely ham-handed way of going about a crime investigation. Does anyone really think a murderer is going to voluntarily bring in his gun for testing? What about the gun owners who refuse on principle to hand their guns over to authorities? Will they automatically go on a list for surveillance and harassment? Does the OSBI ...

Gary Reed has written a great article addressing the use of terms such as “assault weapon” and “Saturday night special.”  Here is one of the more humerus quotes: “Hometown Herald - A pair of assault thugs stole a Ford Saturday Night Special Crew Cab and drove it through the front door of the Saturday Nyte Special [......

And they call us “vigilantes” Thursday, August 21st 2008, 8:48 PM The city has reached a tentative settlement with a Virginia gun shop - the last of the 27 dealers it sued for selling firearms to straw buyers.

Of all the subjects I stressed in teaching the occasional flight student I had, was weather. Making the wrong decision about weather has more dire consequences than any rushed preflight, or choice of the wrong airport cafe "special", just before 3 hours aloft. So I drilled it home, teaching it with great detail. Sometimes when the weather is foul...

I’ve said before magazines are poor places for developing stories — the time between events and publication may be months, and assumptions may be proven wrong in the interim.This was my take on Heller, written just after the decision, and now my Rights Watch column for the October issue of GUNS Magazine, at newsstands now....

The evidence suggests McFate/Sapone was subcontracting for a firm hired by the NRA, which relies on the public's benign belief that it is a citizens' lobby, to spy on and lie to those working in the gun violence prevention movement."The evidence suggests"?You mean after all this sound and fury, you don't have proof of spying as strong as, say this?...

By Charles H. Sawders ("Straightarrow")In this day and age when every psycho-babbling television psychologist, social worker, government agent, teacher of children and clergy are quick to list any number of attributes necessary to be a "good productive member of society", such as appreciation of diversity, multi-culturalism, and the relativism of a...

So Virginia laws require that if you enter an establishment that serves alcohol you must openly carry. So, for the first time I openly carried my firearm in public. Nobody ran screaming that there was a man with a gun. I didn't shoot the waitress because she didn't fill up my water on time. I didn't have the urge to murder a throng of school childr...

"She had no legal right to keep the dog, and that's the reason we stepped in," Hunter said.

An incident that led to an Indianapolis police officer being charged with rape Thursday began, prosecutors say, with a proposition."I'm going to give you an option," officer Anthony S.

As Neilson wrote, "Citizens who desire peace can indulge in no greater folly than that which is summed up in the phrase, 'the best way to preserve peace is to prepare for war.' … Governments have made the war; only the peoples can make an unarmed peace."It's not the weapons.Good grief.I used to think Lew Rockwell was smarter than this.[Via Paul W...
