Unlucky cop to be involved in two shootings in one year in Boise, Idaho - it's not like we have a lot of these around here. The previous one was clearly justified, and this one sounds like it, too - but even so, makes for a tough year for this guy. Story from the Idaho Statesman: A Boise...

Ok, I like to dry practice, and I do a fair amount. But when I go to the range, I like to do controlled pairs. When I dry practice (I shoot autos, mostly), I have to reset the action (rack slide, thumb hammer, or re-squeeze squeeze-cocker, depending on gun) before I can shoot the second of the...

Anyone ever use these? Rimz Do they work well/not well/great/poor/other?

My fiance', a new but enthusiastic shooter, stumped me with a question. I told her that if anyone knew, it would be someone on this site. We anticipate that she will be getting pregnant in the not-too-distant future. Can she still shoot while pregnant? Are there any concerns about the loud...

The statistic regarding the efficacy of brandishing that John Lott cites in his book More Guns, Less Crime, and which he has often quoted since, is being questioned. What I find significant is not the stat itself - I don't think the book or Lott's theory would suffer for its loss - but Lott's...

I flew Alaska/Horizon during my Christmas vacation, and had different rules and regulations for checking a firearm going and returning. According to the counter clerk, this is a TSA mandate, NOT specific to Alaska Air, and should cover all airlines. The gist is that the steal-me tags are...
