David McCarthy, a medic from the great state of Wyoming sends his “My Everyday Carry,” thanks to Everyday Carry. He must like gloves – as he’s got a pair of Mechanix Impact gloves.  I like Mechanix gloves as well, but I don’t carry them everyday.  Well, not on my person.  (I have a set in […]

Head mom and Michael Bloomberg sock puppet Shannon Watts makes the case that her civilian disarmament organization is happy to work both sides of the aisle.

Florida Republicans are once again, putting on a dog and pony show for the state’s gun owners. They’re doing that with SB 7030 which is being fast tracked and rushed through committee.

Back when I was running for a seat on the NRA Board of Directors, I had my good friend Oleg Volk do some photo work for the campaign. We got to talking about guns, of course, and I brought up the handy Kel-Tec SU-16C that I keep as a truck gun. He mentioned he had a SU16A1-EL […]

Yes it’s another Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0…this one is in .40 S&W, though. Cue requisite “short and weak” comments. Here’s the deal, though: .40 S&W still has a place in the self-defense world.
