For a couple weeks leading up to my announcement of retiring the Q&A podcast, I had a little anxiety that just wouldn’t go away. I wasn’t sure how people would react, but now that the band-aid has been ripped off, I have to say I’m quite excited. I’m excited to write more. I used to …

We’re blessed in most of the US in regards to our rights, and with that blessing comes a large responsibility to secure it for future generations.

Back in July I shot several matches, and it seemed like at every match I was having to DQ people for safety violations.
