… when you start thinking about places you could put shooting ranges, and thinking about it in this level of detail: As you can see there is lots of empty space in this underground garage. And with the aid of my trusty laser range finder I found places where it was 345 yards from wall to wall. It’s not really practice for Boomershoot ...

The legislation is moving forward:University of Missouri system President Gary Forsee and Missouri State President Mike Nietzel have both denounced legislation approved by the state House that would allow concealed weapons to be brought onto college campuses. . . . . Legislation, which received initial House approval Wednesday, would lower the mini...

As reported, 24 year old D’Mario Brown attempted to rob several people inside a North Charleston, SC home.  This was at least Brown’s second home invasion attempt of the day, according to police.  An occupant of the home fired in self defense, fatally wounding the home invader with one shot. Home invasion robberies are a deadly [...]...

No offense to Governor Rick Perry, but having Sarah Palin elected as an ‘honorary’ President of  Texas would be cool with me. If the entry criteria were high enough to ensure other States’ or individual Counties could be admitted as ‘honorary’  Texas territory without diluting the quintessential Texas Spirit, w...

Cynthia Tucker voices an opinion at ajc: Shootings are insane, but so is response Traction Control has an opinion as well: Cynthia, Each of these incidents is regrettable, but even the sum of the damage done cannot justify making everyone defenseless in response. - USCitizen USCitizen@Well-RegulatedMilitia.org ...

The Narcosphere points out that reports that (insert imaginary number) % of guns seized in Mexico trace to the US may illustrate a different problem. With State Department approval, American companies sell about $300,000 a year of military/police arms and hardware to the Mexican military and law enforcement. "The deadliest of the weapons now in ...

Sensibly Progressive has a great run down of the 20/20 special, which basically informs us that we’re all way too stupid to defend ourselves with a firearm. UPDATE: More from VSSA: We’re only ten minutes in to this and it is very clear that the theme of the program is that ordinary citizens are not prepared to use a firearm in self defe...

I seriously depleted the level of .22LR ammo in my ammo can, dirtying up my K-22 Combat Masterpiece and my Model 34, as well as Shootin' Buddy's Model 17. Put about a hundred rounds of .38 downrange through my 2" Model 64, as well. The highlight of the morning was busting a couple of clays out on the berm (50yds?) with the Model 17, shooting double...

The story, or at least the predictable propaganda, is here. At least it has the virtue of unintended humor. Antigunners "point out that most people are unprepared to handle a gun," because most states don't require a permit that requires formal training. In a fight, bullets will be flying at you, people running, screaming, you get so pumped up th...

… gun sales are up 30%.  Now if the folks who are buying all these new guns would get involved and get engaged, we might be able to make some progress over there. ...

Doug VanderWoude, owner of Silver Bullet Firearms here in Wyoming, Michigan, was quoted in an article on gun ownership in Time.com: In a December survey by the research firm Southwick Associates, nearly 80% of active hunters and target shooters said they believed firearm purchases would “become more difficult” under the new Administrati...

As in terminally. Can't hit the range, no room in the back yard to blow anything up, finished up Crysis for the third time as it is. Not inspired to do anything either. Did manage to clean the garage today as well as mount some shelves, so at least there was some excitement....

One of the time consuming things in running silhouette matches is having to make the line safe, go down, and reset all the animals.  Resettable targets would be ideal, but not many people make them, and some brands have issues with the animals popping back up on you. I went down to club this morning to check out some targets we’re considerin...

Watching the news, you’d think that some sort of gun crime renaissance was underway. The cynic in Murdoc wonders how much of it is due to sensationalized round-the-clock coverage. When a story is hot, all the other stories similar to it become hot, as well. Take this in Michigan: Two students dead in Michigan apparent murder-suicide A student...

The piece on 20/20 last night was really amazingly biased. The main point was to show that having a gun in a multiple victim public shooting would provide no benefit. One student in a class was given a gun. Most viewers probably wouldn't notice that the one student with a gun was seated in the same seat in each experiment so that the attacker (a...

Aurora, ColoradoFrom the April 11, 2009 Denver Post:A man armed with a box cutter pushed his way into an Aurora home early Friday morning and attacked a male guest who was sleeping on the couch before the intruder was shot to death by the man who lived there, police said. The alleged attacker, who has not been identified, knocked on the back door o...

So, there's a local gun store that's really an office with a shelf with a few guns on it. I guess when you get used to the department store feel of massive shops like Shoot Straight, these places seem 'quaint'. But, I'd not been to this particular store since they moved a while back and being that I'm in the shopping spirit, went to see what they h...
