    Does Universal Background Checks = Tracking?

    Until you have a law and enforce it to put government bureaucrats in prison when they don't follow the rules, it is safe to assume that they won't follow the rules.

    NBC Nightly News runs POSITIVE story about arming school teachers

    I'm not sure I can advocate arming teachers, but being a believer in freedom, we should give them the freedom to arm themselves, should they so choose.

    Self defense? Murder?

    Tough call, need to be on the jury to get all the facts. I'd have an open mind.

    where do you find IDPA/3 gun shoots?

    I have more success tracking down all the clubs within a certain radius and searching their websites for events and calendars than I do with discipline specific searches. But I'd also check out Practiscore and Facebook.

    Do you CC everywhere?

    Beyond occasionally expressing that I am in careful compliance with all applicable laws, I keep my CC practices very private. I certainly don't post them on the internet.

    Did you hit a point where aquiring new guns wasn't that much of a priority anymore?

    Yep. After three safes were full and I realized that shooting guns was more fun than just owning them and that owning did not really increase my skills as much as shooting. Another factor has been the decline in quality of most available new guns over the past 20 years. Yet another factor...

    Are the DA/SA pistols staging a comeback??

    Maybe, maybe not. Without seeing the video myself, I suspect confirmation bias may be a factor. Many videos simply are not high enough quality to be sure, and one can easily mistake the tip and pad appearing to come off of the front of the trigger (as seen from the left for a right handed...

    Are the DA/SA pistols staging a comeback??

    Good slow motion video for catching shooting kinematics requires high frame rates. Slowing down 30-60 frames per second misses A LOT. 1000 frames per second and up catches lots of things that even experienced trainers and shooters are not aware of until the video becomes available and shows it...

    Are the DA/SA pistols staging a comeback??

    I'm more interested in what works well for my students, family, and friends rather than what seems to be a hot seller NOW. In many cases, a quality firearm is a 20-40 year investment. Trends will vary over that time span, but will the firearm I recommended to a student or friend continue to...

    An article on why to woods carry...

    If one strictly played the probabilities, one wouldn't carry at all, since odds are most US citizens will not be a victims of a violent attack in their life needing it. But a layered approach to safety and security keeps all the layers on all the time. You wouldn't leave your spare tire at...

    Firearm training for elementary school age kids in Northern VA

    https://appleseedinfo.org/schedule/?qstate=VA&state=Virginia I second the Project Appleseed idea. I've done it alongside of elementary school students, and it is very good introductory training, and the younger ones had a lot of fun and learned a lot. It is not uncommon for local clubs to...

    Wearing gloves while cleaning guns

    A shooting buddy popped positive for lead. Wearing gloves (for me) has become just another layer of safety, along with hand washing. I'm wearing gloves most of the time when reloading, cleaning, and other related activities where there is a chance of lead exposure. A lot of the potential lead...

    Supreme Court asked to recognize a Second Amendment right to sell guns

    I've found and cited your demanded proof before, and you deleted it. Why should I waste my time again jumping through your hoops for you to delete it?

    Sabot's in F-open?

    I've read compelling analysis that suggests the disintegrations in flight are related to stresses and heat imparted by friction in the barrel combined with rotational stress. The rotational stress alone might not be a problem without the jacket weakening and core melting that occur without a sabot.

    Supreme Court asked to recognize a Second Amendment right to sell guns

    This reasoning contradicts the typical interpretations of the right to have an abortion, which is most often interpreted to include the right to buy one. Abortion providers cannot be regulated out of business, so why can gun providers?
