Kiyanna Salter was a 17 year old girl who was taking the bus near 71st and Cottage Grove Avenue in Chicago. Two other passengers accidentally bumped into each other somehow, and an argument ensued. Each of those two passengers brandished handguns that they were illegally carrying. One of the two passengers, who [...]...

The rally was, I would say, a success.  It was attended by a few hundred people, which I think was pretty good for an event in a remote part of Berks County and which didn’t feature either of the candidates.  This video is of Aaron Hobbs, the National Director of Sportsmen for McCain, who I had the pleasure of hosting for the weekend: Click...

By Linda Walker In modern times, the words “school” and “shooting” put together, always rocks us parents to our knees. We hear the headline news about another school shooting and instantly fear for our childrens lives, regardless of whether they are elementary age or college age or anything in between. Recently I witnessed something I hav...

Much to learn from this, including what to say/how to handle yourself after a legitimate self defense shooting! (Of course, I'm sure when this video is expanded upon it will end up being anti-gun).Boston Legal -- Dances with Wolves...

Turn out the Lights: Their Party is Over By Gerard Valentino The Detroit News recently reported on yet another academic study which has found no evidence that gun shows lead to substantial increases in either gun-related homicides or suicides. From the story: Gun shows don't contribute to increased homicide or suicide rates, according to results o...

Because this kid makes a strong play for being my new hero: Madison (WKOW) – 13 year old Jack Theisen had to make a quick decision when two would-be robbers were in the process of coming through an unlocked, basement door, and Theisen was home alone. Theisen grabbed his Red Ryder model BB gun and shot the first invader in the shoulder, scarin...

1) A splendiferous day. My friend came by and we rode the Monon, went to Taste for brunch, came back to Roseholme Cottage and watched the Jeff Cooper vidjo, and then he cooked a delicious dinner. The only thing that would have made it cooler is if a midget on a tricycle had ridden around the block a few times. On fire.2) How come we get the low-gra...

OK, this is the really easy type, but I bought a McCain/Palin shirt, and have been wearing it. I have gotten several comments, all positive. I reallize that people find it easier to give a thumbs up than to get into a discussion about why you disagree with someone, so the reactions are going to be weighted, but it is nice to see the reaction, and g...

I answered this in the comments, but it is important enough for a post Anna Says: Nice to know your efforts are actually worth something. I live in California, and from I’ve heard, the CA GOP has pretty much given up on the state. I’m a volunteer, too, but the local headquarters is so disorganized. They still haven’t put their phone banks in ...

Back to the office after 15 days away. Shouldn't be too much of a mess as I have a great Administrative Assistant. You don't dare call him a "secretary" as he's an ex Army specialist and he's quite rugged. I'm training him in a lot of the technical aspects of the job, as he'll go far, but for now I can rest assured that my office won't be a disas...

Actually, there are a lot I could chose from, but that would detract from the rest of the post. Check out how Xavier’s daughter deals with the range know-it-all. I think it demonstrates how there is still a lot of progress to be made educating people that guns are more than trap, skeet, and steel. (Don’t get me wrong, those are great. E...

One of Barack Obama’s most potent campaign claims is that he’ll cut taxes for no less than 95% of “working families.” He’s even promising to cut taxes enough that the government’s tax share of GDP will be no more than 18.2% — which is lower than it is today. It’s a clever pitch, because it lets him po...

Here, in pdf. As might be expected, it is well-written and merciless. In trying to hold the award down, DC apparently argued that it was a perfectly ordinary appeal, so Gura takes all their requests for extensions of time, which universally claimed that it was unbelievably complex, and sticks it in their craw. It ends with "Defendants’ accusati...

J.D. Tuccille writes a post entitled President Obama won't take your guns (even if he wants to) which follows a pretty standard fallacy - mainly that Barack Häagen-Dazs Obama isn't actually going to walk into your house and take your guns, so really - no harm no foul The inevitable rise of President-for-Life Barack Obama will soon unleash his Sta...

I read an interesting post which pointed out that more Chicago residents have been killed than US soldiers in Iraq this summer - by a factor of 2!  This is despite Chicago’s longstanding handgun ban. A map of the Chicago shootings for Summer 2008 has also been created. It is worth nothing that overall violence in Iraq [...]...

Learned about a lot of new stuff today at the Remington New Products Seminar here at Buck Ridge Plantation near Orangeburg, SC. I’ll be going over a lot of them in the coming days, but the biggest news fit to print from day 1 was probably the new 30 Remington AR cartridge developed for a new model of the R-15 rifle. The focus was to develop a...

First he thinks that leadership is lowering our standard of living to that of the rest of the world. Now he is clearly declaring that he wants to spread the wealth around to all. And if you're even a moderately successful person, it's your wealth he's talking about. He even wants to give our wealth away to the rest of the world via the UN (and of c...

I saw the movie Shooter In one of the scenes, the main character takes a shot at a a can of Dinty Moore stew from a little over a mile. Judging from the range, he must have heard of some previous experimentation done by a friend of mine. In case you are wondering, introducing an ounce and an eighth of #4 lead shot at about 1300 fps into a can of ...

Meleanie Hain will have her hearing tomorrow to appeal her revocation of her License to Carry by the Lebanon County Sheriff.  My previous comments on the matter a few weeks ago don’t affect my desire to see Ms. Hain prevail in her case.  Whether or not it’s the best public relations strategy I think is debatable, but the law is not, a...

The new op-ed begins this way.The media is ferociously attacking the McCain campaign’s new web based ad linking Obama and Bill Ayers. The ad is a very short:Obama's blind ambition. When convenient, he worked with terrorist Bill Ayers. When discovered, he lied. Obama. Blind ambition. Bad judgment. Congressional liberals fought for risky subprime l...

The Remington 742 Woodmaster was Remington’s answer to the popular Browning BAR platform. Remington R&D was responsible for the design work, but it is largely based on the BAR action. Remington made it from 1960 until it was discontinued in 1980. Their total production tally amounted to a few more than 1.4 million. The rifle was produced...

Fond du Lac police investigate gun show shooting Fond du Lac police Lt. Aaron Goldstein says a man looking at the handgun Sunday morning didn't know how to check whether it was loaded. He says the man pulled the trigger and the gun went off. The bullet hit another man who was part of the same group in the foot. Goldstein says both the shooter and...
