The Truth About Guns

Ammo prices being what they are, I’ve taken to trying to review multiple items at a time to get the most out of my ammunition supply. While reviewing the Aero Precision EPC, I put on a Holosun HS510C and bam, now I get two reviews for the ammo cost of one. These days, you gotta […]

By Larry Keane As an Irish Catholic, I’ve said my fair share of “Our Father” and “Hail Mary” prayers. I’ll confess, though, I never prayed the rosary that the Almighty would grant me a wish to sue an industry out of existence. President Joe Biden, himself an Irish Catholic, though, is a different story. While […]

A few years ago, I was working at a gun show to promote a concealed carry course I was teaching. It was pretty obvious that I wasn’t just an assistant or the instructor’s wife keeping an eye on things. Despite this, I had multiple men walk up and start telling me all about what I […]

The good news from here in the Lone Star State is that HB 1927, a bill that would eliminate the need for Texans over 21 to get a state permit in order to carry a firearm, was passed out of committee recently and is scheduled for full House consideration tomorrow, followed by a vote. We […]

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed unless you lack a permit granted by the state, are under a certain age, can’t pay a tax, or lack a valid state-approved reason. — Tim Pool

By Joe Bartozzi There is light at the end of the tunnel and some new data is worthy of solemn celebration. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) released new figures showing the number of Americans who died by suicide in 2020 remained lower than in each of the previous four years. That’s good news. After […]

It occurs to me that the best strategy for protecting gun rights in America is to “third rail” gun control. Make support for any more limits on the right to keep and bear arms electoral suicide. If you “touch” gun control, you can be assured of being zapped at the polls. This was once the […]

Recently SIG SAUER introduced the M400 Predator, which I believe is actually a very well thought-out rifle that addresses many of the faults of other so-called predator hunting rifles. But some questioned the idea of a predator gun with a 16-inch barrel and asked if using a rifle with a shorter barrel makes sense. Barrel […]

When the Remington bankruptcy sweepstakes ended last fall, Vista Outdoor, makers of Federal, Speer and CCI ammunition was the high bidder for Big Green’s ammunition business. That was very good news.

When I’m shooting, I like to keep things light and cool. That means avoiding large, heavy over-the-ear muffs whenever possible. Not only are they hot, but they can also interfere with a good cheek weld on some long guns. A pair of 10 cent foam plugs work OK for some applications, but once you experience […]

By Larry Keane It’s hard to think of a worse possible nominee than David Chipman to run the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). President Joe Biden could have nominated Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke, as he infamously promised him a gun control job at an El Paso campaign appearance. Or maybe even given […]
