    Instructors: Why do you teach?

    This interview with Clint Smith sparked the question in my own mind. I have danced around the answer for myself now and again, but I've never specifically articulated it. I have articulated parts and pieces of my motivations, but I've never put together a comprehensive answer. Part of my...

    Blackhawk NRS stock...

    Yeah, it looks all mall ninja. But it's the only stock I've handled (short of putting a youth stock on an 870) that's a suitable length of pull for tactical use. Most people don't really realize that the LoP on just about every OEM shotgun is too long. Shotguns are simply faster with shorter...

    Open carry harrassment and screwball LEO logic...

    So, my brother sends me a text: "JUST GOT HARRASSED BY YOUNGSTOWN COPS" I send back: "What about?" response: "OPEN CARRY" Me: "Where were you?" Response: "ON MY PORCH" I send: "dude, call me with details." And this is what he relays to me, giggling the whole time. Stuff in parentheses...

    New Matix Platt duo?

    http://www.wvgazette.com/latest/200806270300 So they've got two guys charged and on the loose for shooting a pastor in the head on a local range. Police aren't talking about a motive, and I have to wonder if getting the pastor's firearm was it. This is starting to reek of Matix/Platt, and...

    Already got the brady-gram

    I actually responded to this one. The response was long, in depth, and steeped in 2nd amendment legal history. It said:

    Residents of Charleston, WV

    The WVCDL is beginning to mount an effort to repeal the three day wait ordinance, one handgun per month ordinance, and comprehensive city property carry ban. Now would be a good time to contact your city council members and the mayor's office. Also, you might wish to spread the word to...

    I toured Douglass Barrels today

    And I have to say. That was NEAT. They gave me and a co-worker a walk-through of the whole facility. I saw every step in the process from bar-stock on through the rifled, shaped, and finished barrels. And it's clear they take quality control very seriously every step of the way, and good...

    What do EMTs do with your gun?

    Assuming you're hurt. Car crash, motorcycle crash, struck by lighting, whatever, and you're transported. What do the EMTs do with your sidearm when they find it? I've always wondered this, and nearly found out myself last year, but was able to limp to the doc-in-a-box and waive transport...

    Your confidence in your training

    Another thread on training sparked some curiosity with me. Folks were posting their various training levels... and I'm curious about how confident people are. Here's a little insight into my philosophy... I've been in combat situations. I've disarmed an attacker on the street that came at...

    WV members (McDowell County in particular)

    If you vote in the 23rd district for the House of Delegates here, you should be aware that your incumbent representative probably doesn't share your views, yet somehow secured an NRA "A" rating. We'll be working with the NRA to fix that next week. You should spread the word to everyone that...

    Sig customer service++!

    I'm one of those types of people that screams pretty loud when a company screws me over. As such, I feel it's only fair to scream equally loud when a company takes care of me. I broke the handguard tab on my 556. That's the kind of thing that *could* be a manufacturer defect, but you have...

    NRA instructor teams up with local retailer for alarmist anti FUD

    Watching my TV this morning, a commercial comes on for a local pawn shop that sells firearms. This shop's been in the media here quite a bit. But that's another story. Search google news for "Trading Post" in Marmet, WV if you're curious. But I digress... Anyway, I'm watching this...

    WV House wavers on CHL privacy

    Excerpt from the WVCDL alert that went out today: If you're a citizen of WV, and not a member of the WVCDL, or at LEAST subscribed to the mailing list, please sign up here: http://www.wvcdl.org You should read the WV Gazette article as well. It's quite a trainwreck. In addition to...

    Ever filed a claim against NRA endorsed insurance?

    My homeowner's insurer is being a bit .... eh... snippy about firearms. (I'll keep it high road) I was looking at the NRA endorsed option through Lockton Affinity. The premium looks a bit steep at a glance. But that's only one consideration. Response to claims is quite another, and is a...

    556 / 223 OAL and mags

    I ran into an interesting issue on the range this weekend. Turns out, my 69gr match-kings fit in an orlite mag, but they won't come out. Every single rifle I have seems to like 62gr and higher ammo. They all shoot SS109 Lake City and Radway *really* well. Problem is, that stuff's roughly 50...

    Trijicon Tripower, good deal at GANDER!?!

    :what: So, about 4PM yesterday, I call the Gander gun counter. "Y'all got any Trijicon Tripowers?" "Hold on, lemme check." *thirty second wait* "no, we don't have any of those." So, that evening, I take my boy up there so he can blow the Gander gift cards my parents gave him. I walk past...
