Tue, 03/04/2014 - 09:44
This video is from last year when Connecticut was still debating their gun control bill which included registration for certain weapons that were deemed to be “assault weapons” by the state. The video is just now starting to make the rounds on the web. There is a good reason this video is now making the […]

Home Invader Shot and Killed With His Own Gun

Mon, 03/03/2014 - 15:23
It’s usually advisable to have your own firearm in a self defense situation, but I guess these folks did alright all things considered. Four men were in a home based studio recording rap music in the Orlando, FL area when an armed man burst into the home through a window. One of the four men […]

Home Invader No Match for Retired Couple Who Were Both Armed

Mon, 03/03/2014 - 13:52
…the couple that captures bad guys together stays together? No? OK, anyway. It seems that a would be home invader bit off a bit more than he could chew when he tried to break into the home of a retired couple in the Orlando, FL area. The husband is a retired cop and it seems […]

Could New Jersey Magazine Bill Lead to the Banning/Confiscation of Standard .22LR Rifles?

Mon, 03/03/2014 - 13:28
It seems that due to strict wording of a bill that is being pushed through the New Jersey legislature (and is expected to pass thanks to a back room deal), NJ residents may soon find that their .22LR rifles with tube fed magazines banned and/or confiscated. Many .22LR rifles use tubular magazines that can hold […]

Kentucky Baptists Using Gun Giveaways to Lure People to Church

Mon, 03/03/2014 - 13:16
Yep, only in Kentucky. I guess pretty much everyone is piggybacking on the current overwhelming popularity of guns, including Baptist leaders in Kentucky. It’s been a fairly common practice for sellers of higher cost products (such as cars) to give away firearms with purchases, and we’ve even seen youth sports teams raffling off firearms to […]

Current Ammo Availability Report – Southeast Georgia

Mon, 03/03/2014 - 00:20
As most of you know, ammo availability has been very hit or miss for the last 12-14 months or so. During early-mid 2013 you were lucky to find any ammo for sale, let alone for a decent price. Now, at least in my neck of the woods, it seems things are just about back to […]

BREAKING: Knife Attack in China, 27+ Dead, 160+ Injured; Police Used Guns to Stop Attack

Sat, 03/01/2014 - 16:52
Anti-gun activists and politicians would have you believe that mass murders can’t happen if we reduce or eliminate the number of guns in private hands. However, as logical people, we know that’s just not true. Case in point, a knife attack, being labeled as a terrorist attack, has left at least 27 people dead and […]

[Video] NRA News Commentators: “Respect Yourself” with Dom Raso

Sat, 03/01/2014 - 12:29
Transcript below. The level of respect you have for yourself directly affects the decisions you make. And frankly, I don’t think that people respect themselves enough. They’d rather ignore our nation’s problems, or consume them like entertainment through cable news, than actually get off their ass and make a difference. They think they’re so small […]

NRA Gets Tough on Congress in Regards to Obama’s Surgeon General Pick, Will Score Confirmation Votes

Sat, 03/01/2014 - 10:33
The NRA doesn’t usually score votes on appointment confirmations, so this represents a bit of a hardline shift for them. It’s been announced that the Senate’s vote to confirm Dr. Vivek Murthy as surgeon general will be scored by the NRA. This means that a vote for Murthy will cause lawmaker’s prized NRA ratings to […]

Fri, 02/28/2014 - 03:45
If you want to run from an area and hide, you’re probably SOL if there is snow on the ground, but I guess if you’re facing prison you don’t really think logically about things like that. According to local media reports, a MN resident awoke to the sounds of someone breaking into his home. The […]

Ruger Will Be Expanding in North Carolina in 2014

Fri, 02/28/2014 - 03:34
Ruger, along with pretty much every other firearms manufacturer in the country, has had a pretty solid 2013. During a sharehold earnings call this week, Ruger CEO Michael O. Fifer said that the company’s North Carolina facility would be enjoying the company’s job expansion efforts during 2014, citing a lack of workers/talent near their other […]

MN Car Dealership Offers Free Shotguns With Pickup Truck Purchase

Fri, 02/28/2014 - 03:27
Sounds like a deal to me. Buy a truck, get a shotgun. According to CBS Minnesota, Muscatell-Burns in Hawley is kicking off a two-week promotion that offers a shotgun for every new or 2013 pickup truck. Sales manager Jason Jalbert tells KFGO radio most of the dealership’s employees hunt and fish and it’s usually a […]

[Video] Jerry Miculek 400 Meter Shooting With S&W M&P 9mm – FIRST SHOT HIT – WHAT!?

Fri, 02/28/2014 - 03:16
Jerry Miculek is freaking ridiculous. Just watch some of his videos on Youtube to see what I mean. If you think these trick/amazing shots are something new or are completed through some kind of camera trick or editing just do a little research. Jerry has been doing the impossible with firearms for decades now. He […]

You Have to Hear What This Connecticut Police Lieutenant Told a Caller About Gun Confiscation

Thu, 02/27/2014 - 16:13
First off, we haven’t 100% authenticated this call yet, but given the media coverage it’s gotten and the fact that we know there is a Lt. Vance with the CT State Police (he was the guy who spent a whole bunch of time talking to the media following the Sandy Hook Shooting in 2012). Anyway, […]

Time for the anti-gunners to freak out again. A youth softball team in Georgia is riling up the anti-gun crowd with the prize for their latest raffle – a Taurus Judge revolver.

Thu, 02/27/2014 - 12:28
Don’t worry, Jane Seymour is just fine. Most of the stories we feature here are defensive gun uses against bad guys. However, in this case we have an 11 year old girl defensing her brother not from a violent criminal, but from Mother Nature. According to media reports, a female cougar attempted to follow and […]

Thu, 02/27/2014 - 12:21
Never mess with a protective mother. Two would be home invaders are lucky to be alive after ignoring that advice last week in Fenton, MO.

Utah School District Gets Armed With AR-15 to Protect Students, Local Media Gets it Wrong

Thu, 02/27/2014 - 03:39
According to KSDK, at least one school district in Utah will be very well protected from now on. The Granite School District Police Department will now be carrying AR-15 rifles in addition to their sidearms. The local media incorrectly calls the rifles “assault rifles” and “military grade AR-15s” (no military uses the AR-15 rifle). At […]

WTF: GA Police Chief Says Military is Switching to .40SW So His Dept Needs to Switch to 9mm

Thu, 02/27/2014 - 03:23
WTF, Over. OK, you want new pistols for your department. I get it. I do, but do we have to invent completely ridiculous nonsense in order to make that happen? Let’s look at a story from Senoia, GA (where The Walking Dead is filmed). From the Times Herald, “Over the past year we have had […]
