Ladies and gents: I had an interview Thursday morning with one of the New York gun owners who was "outed" by that newspaper, the Journal News, with a map showing his name and address. This was one of those times when my instincts as a reporter kicked in and just let this guy talk. It's a...

This ain't a political thing so much as educational. After trading PMs with Art E., I'm sticking this in here for your perusal because the GOP platform has some really strong pro-2A stuff in it that I wrote about in my examiner column. If this leads to legislation...hmmmm! There are links...

My dad, who served in WWII, never talked about the war. People who have been in a war...I mean, REALLY been in a war...rarely talk about it. But he once mentioned Dec. 7, that day 70 years ago that will "live in infamy." He heard about the attack, IIRC, while he was getting his shoes...

I've knocked out a column on Examiner that asks for some feedback (so I can do a follow-up, of course ;)) on what people - HIGH ROADERS, NATURALLY INCLUDED! - think the "right to bear arms" really means. This is an important issue because from here on, this is where we're heading in the court...

I'm trying to zero my brother's Marlin X7 in .30-06, using measured loads with 180-grain Noslers, Nosler brass. For some reason it seems all over the place. Synthetic stock comes up to touch the barrel at the front end of the channel, just like on my XL7 (as per the design) which zeroes up...

Ladies and Gents: Looking for a little feedback for a project rifle my kid is working on. He's got an AR lower and I chatted with one retailer about uppers and he suggested a Stag for a functioning, knock-around, workhorse upper. This is not a precision target rifle he's putting...

Let's forget about everything else for a minute and look ahead to Sept. 1. There are dove seasons opening up all over, and some states open up grouse hunting too. Heck, even rabbits open up here in WA on 9-1. If all goes well, I'll be out there bringing law and order to the birds. But I'm...

Anyone here interested in the wolf re-introduction situation? It's starting to raise hackles in Washington State. How do you think this is going to shake out? What do you think about wolf re-population in the Lower 48? What effect is being felt by hunters, game herds?
