Some time ago, I watched something on cable teevee.  It had to do with the introduction of smokeless cartridges back in the day.  And the narrator stated that one of the complaints, of smokeless cartridges, by police, was that during gun fights, they could not see where the bad guys where.  Because there was no smoke to place their locations.

I haven't verified this nor have I determined how frequent it is:a considerable amount of the criminal element are now painting the tips of their ‘Real Weapons’ with an orange tip. It’s easy to understand their reasoning. Once again, Law Enforcement find themselves in a deeper hole. Ironically, if this criminal who has no criminal record and ...

Why not? I guess that the point of the stimulus was wealth redistribution so why not distribute the money based on the race of the recipients? Latinos and blacks have faced obstacles to winning government contracts long before the stimulus. They own 6.8 and 5.2 percent of all businesses, respectively, according to census figures. Yet Latino-owned...

I knew that the Amendment bans release of gun trace data to cities seeking to sue firearms dealers, but I didn't know that it also declares any such data admissible in evidence. This article argues that the latter restriction, as applied to State courts, is unconstitutional. I wonder, however, whether the fact that the restriction pertains to data ...

Joe Huffman on the continuing Starbucks saga: The best thing we can at this point is to quietly, unobtrusively, politely buy Starbucks products. Let the Brady Campaign throw their tantrum.

As a credentialed Firearms Trainer, I field a lot of inquiries about how to renew a state of Michigan Concealed Pistol License (CPL).
