Obama has chosen Biden to be his running mate and I guess this solves any ambiguity as for his intentions on gun ownership rigths.  Armed Canadian points out that Biden has voted for any gun ban suggestion ever and I guess the situation is now even clearer than before. There is the team that is pro gun ownership rights and the team that is a...

I’ve seen people who don’t own guns react with surprise or concern upon hearing that I, or another law abiding citizen, own several firearms.  This article provides information about why people often own multiple guns, and how owning multiple guns is not “bad”: Guns are often specialized for a particular task A bolt action ...

Well, Obama announced Joe Biden as his running mate. I am jumping for joy at this!Not because Joe Biden is a leftist, gun grabbing egotistical opportunistic scumbag but the fact by doing so, Obama just handed moderate or gun enthusiastic states to John McCain by default.He can kiss Pennsylvania, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, the Carolinas, Alabama...

I have been very impressed with Todd’s instruction.  Todd is mostly concentrating on tips and techniques that will make us better shooters.  I have never done shooting on the move before, and never shot at anything that moved except for clay birds.  I thought I did pretty decently on both, doing my best to follow some of Todd’s advis...

I ache all over. Eight hours of shooting. Shooting while moving toward, away from, or parallel to the target, shooting at moving targets, shooting while moving at moving targets. I don't know how many hundred rounds. My right hand feels as if it were sandpapered. Another shooter has a blister on his palm. I'm coming to like the Para LDA trigger. I...

Is better than a great day at work. And I proved that today. I learned a valuable lesson today. I suck. I suck bad. I need to really practice a lot more. In fact, I'd venture to say I was near the worst shooter here. It turns out, shooting at static targets using the weaver stance at the indoor range doesn't translate well into the kinds of shooti...

It was a great day, and for tomorrow, we get the shoot house....

Overall, my experience with the LDA, after a day of shooting hundreds of rounds of ammunition, have been pretty favorable.  The LDA trigger is nicer and smoother than the one on my Glock, and shoot pretty decently with it.  My main complaint about the platform is the fact that it even has a safety.  I know, I know, a Glock user complaining about...

Obama has drawn some criticism for the event pass that looks like the American flag is upside-down. This is against flag etiquette, and is seen as yet another sign of Obama lacking patriotism. I have another possible explanation: The upside-down flag is a sign of distress, and given Obama’s rather rough 4 weeks, and slide in the polls, this ...

There’s nothing gun bloggers like better than Blackwater provided transportation of a shot up car.  Blackwater is the largest single buyer of used cars in the State of North Carolina.  They buy them for everything from stunt driving to their own version of Smash Up Derby, usually involving a lot of breaking through barricades, and often fir...

This is the beginning of my newest piece:Decency is rare in life, but it seems even rarer in politics where so much often is at stake. As government has grown and more is at stake, the niceties that make life civil have become expendable.I have always been struck by the decency of Senator Joe Biden, Barack Obama's Vice Presidential nominee. But the...

This video clip shows an interview with John Edwards, and addresses his opinion on the right to keep and bear arms.  It is quite interesting the things that he thinks are rights, and those things that he thinks are privileges.

On Biden exaggerating his record from SanDiego.com:Most of Mr. Biden's statement was in response to a report in this week's issue of Newsweek magazine on a tape recording made by the C-SPAN network of an appearance by Mr. Biden at a home in Claremont, N.H., on April 3. It was a typical coffee-klatch style appearance before a small group. The networ...

Revisiting Biden's tendency to speak without thinking:Loose Lips Sink ShipsOver the course of his presidential bid, Biden cemented his reputation as -- how to put this nicely? -- less than disciplined on the campaign trail.In the summer of 2006, as he was publicly mulling the race, Biden set off a controversy over comments he made about Indian Amer...

This morning we got our hands marked up by Todd Jarrett to teach us a proper grip. Let me tell you, it works. My speed and accuracy improved markedly. I still have some difficulty with the draw, but there’s nothing that will correct that except for repetition. Todd also had us shoot a silhouette target at 25 yards. I did respectably, but let...

Former Joyce Foundation board member Barack Obama's anti-gun record has already been well documented on this website. His own NRA F-rated record is matched in his running mate by a much longer NRA F-rated one. According to OntheIssues.org, Biden, who during his tenure as Judiciary Committee chairman was very effective in pushing gun control legi...

If Barak Obama could have picked a running mate more hostile to gun owners than Joe Biden, I can’t think of who it might be. Picking a consummate Washington insider who brags about “writing” the Assault Weapons Ban looks more like the same old elitist East Coast crap than “change you can believe in.” I never have favored Obama, but I real...

Barack Obama named Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware as his vice presidential running mate early Saturday, balancing his ticket with a seasoned congressional veteran well-versed in foreign policy and defense issues.

It is clear the Democrats understand nothing about politics. This may be the worst VP choice in history. Good luck with any cross over voters. He chose poorly. Did no one else want the job? The polls right now show Obama ahead by 1.6%. How many points will Obama lose from this very dumb choice? 5%? 10%? The only question left is how did Karl Rove ...
