Anyone have experience with inert training guns in checked luggage on airlines? I am considering doing so in a few months, and wonder it the x-ray check in the back has caused a problem. Maybe leave a big note visible when the bag is opened declaring the plastic guns and inert models, not...

This is a discussion I'd like to see over on the NRA Instructors' Forum, but I am sure it would not be allowed there as too political. My core concern: Is anyone developing contingency plans for the survival of NRA training programs and instructor certifications if the New York case threatens...

My go-to is a compact double-stack, but I decided to start investigating smaller pistols for possible alternate carry. At the range today I rented a Sig P365 and Springfield Hellcat, basic models of each, but with the pinky-extending magazine for a full grip with all four fingers. Only shot 15...

An instructor on the NRA Instructors Forum discovered the web site YesTactical, where Alex Tactical holds forth as a claimed expert on all things gun. Just a few minutes wandering the site exposes an inordinate level of ignorance, some item simply wrong, some misleading, and some apparently...

Buried in a recent article about the arrest of teenagers in Florida for murder is this statement: On our local NextDoor.com list we see doorbell camera videos of miscreants searching cars in the wee hours about two times a month. Usually the burglars just look for unlocked vehicles, but...

On January 1, 2023, Alabama will become the 25th of the 50 states* to have legally permit-less (Constitutional) carry of firearms. Some will cheer that "half the country" has permit-less carry. However, note a few numbers: The 2022 total population of the 50 states as estimated by the Census...

Has anyone tried the UnTuckIt brand shirts for concealed carry? I am familiar with guyabera and aloha shirts, as well as polo shirts, that all work well. However, the photos of trim (as opposed to dadbod) models wearing the unTuckIt shirts look like they may be a little too slim at and below...

I love shooting 1911s but have never touched a Hi-Power. That said, I am intrigued by the next-gen Hi(gh)-Power clones and am seriously considering a Springfield SA-35 based on the many early reviews. I also have read that the early released models had some problems, Springfield has been working...

Two local businesses, one a LGS (Bullseye Guns & Ammo) and the other a firearms training business (Last Resort Firearms Training), use Facebook for their WWW presence. For several years I have been able to go to their sites on FB without logging in to FB. As of about a week ago, (August 2022)...

I've asked at several LGS about SA-35 stock; all are waiting for orders, with no knowledge of when they might see any. Common online retailers like Bud's and Midway say out of stock. One LGS worker opined that Springfield is using all production lines to push out Hellcats and XD & XDM, and not...

VCDL just posted on YouTube a recent 911 call in Loudon County about a motorcyclist open carrying a US Flag decorated gun. Just under 4 minutes long. The VCDL comments on the video are valuable: Patriotic motorcyclist on memorial day gets a 911 call on him while wearing a red white & blue gun...

For now we only have a framework for pending gun control law(s) coming out of a bi-partisan team at Congress. Some members are already supporting it, others are saying they will wait for the actual draft bill to decide (e.g. Manchin), and others are silent (e.g. Cotton). In the meantime, we...

Yesterday I received a couple of rather vile voicemail messages about my NRA affiliation and hoping for bad things for me and my family. Both calls had Caller ID blocked. I am a bit curious how these folks connected me to NRA and got my #, although I make no serious attempt to hide either. The...
