    Avoiding Trouble

    https://www.activeresponsetraining.net/current-threats-you-should-be-avoiding A great article on avoiding the increase in street violence due to shootings or demonstrations. Probably more important to understand then whether you should carry a Glock 17 or Staccato. Or your split times.

    Giving gun advice

    This is a pretty good article on giving advice about firearms purchasing and use: https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/how-to-give-good-advice-when-youre-asked-about-guns/ One point I find most important is that lots of folk (like here) immediately turn the conversation into comparative stopping...

    Winchester 1300 rail mount problems

    I have a Winchester 1300 Defender. Pretty good gun, has taken me through classes and matches. I had an extra RDS so I thought I might put in on the gun. I bought an Aimtech Black Scope Mount For Winchester 1300. It slips over the top, you take out the trigger group pin, put in theirs and a...

    An Analysis of Bruen from Duke

    Here's a legal review take on Bruen. My view from NYS is that the CCIA response to Bruen screwed the state for years and Scotus hasn't been any help for relief as of yet. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/07/28/bruen-supreme-court-rahimi-00108285...

    The manual safety - yet again.

    https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/in-praise-of-the-absence-of-a-manual-safety/ An interesting article as a reply to a pro manual safety article.

    SW 30 round 22 mag

    https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/smith-wessons-new-301-mp-22-magnum-chambered-in-22-wmr/ Of course, one wants one on impulse. Questions - will it run? I've seen at least one Keltec not get through a stage without a jam. Plinker, recoil shy? SD against horde of rabbits. Is the round good for SD...

    The Color Codes

    For the 32 Long fans - 6 rounds!

    https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2023/05/09/potd-detonics-6x9-grim/ So a six-barrel gun in strange European calibers but also in SW 32 Long. Loaded with some high end rounds like Buffalo Bore - the ultimate handgun! It's a just because gun if it isn't horrifically expensive. Wonder if we...

    Your NPE gun and the active shooter

    https://www.activeresponsetraining.net/something-to-consider This is an interesting POV by Greg Ellifritz. Basically, folks say they would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6. With laws like the NYS CCIA spreading across the country (wake up Clarence), one might think NPE (Non-Permissive...
