I literally spent 8 years of my first decade with US Marines all around. As a Foreign Service brat I saw them every time I visted my father at work, and some of my fondest childhood memories are of going to barbeques hosted by the local Marine House.

Like most people who get serious about CCW I’ve bought a whole lot of holsters, spending nearly as much money on carry holsters as a carry gun.

Dave notes an oddity on applications for prosecutors: I understand that assistant district attorneys are not permitted to apply for a handgun permit nor own or possess a handgun while employed by the Nassau County District Attorney.

Tam: Look, if you’ve just gotta have a gun with a piston in it so your friends will know you’re cool, get a gun designed from the ground up to use a piston, not some kludge affixed to a Stoner-type bolt carrier assembly that was never intended to have a foot-long lever torquing it from the top. On one hand, I see her point. On the other...

A bit back, the nanny-state busy-bodies in congress passed a law prohibiting the sale of incandescent light bulbs to make hippies and Al Gore feel better or something.

You can’t just say guns and Democrats in the same sentence and expect us to get excited. The hearing is likely about...

Every now and then, the actions of a few rogue individuals can affect large numbers of people. Such as the police officers who worked over a criminal, Rodney King, in front of a video camera, and prompted days of riots and fires. Or more dramatically, the handful of pro-Slavik insurrectionists who assassinated Archduke Ferdinand in 1914 and helped ...
