Slow Facts

Louisiana- (Ammoland.com)-  

We can not identify the next public murderer.  We do not know his name or where he lives.  Despite the unknown details, there are clear trends from past events.  We do know that he is probably not a trained terrorist, but an individual who lashed out with this one violent act.  The most important fact is that we know there will be another public mass murder.  We also know there are actions we can take now that will reduce the damage to come.  This is what is likely to happen.

Shooters – We Are Better Than This!

Tue, 11/03/2015 - 11:25

U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA)

USA –-(Ammoland.com)- It’s not too much to ask that shooters clean up at public shooting ranges.

Very often new shooters say they don’t get into the sport because they don’t have a place to shoot.

Our failure to maintain our public shooting ranges is one of the reasons we don’t have many public shooting ranges.

When you go to a public range, treat it as you would a stay at a public campground: take away everything you brought in.

If you see some trash, pick it up. We should never let our ranges get this bad.

Remember…it’s a shooting range, not a dump. Please clean up after yourself.

Crossbreed Holster Review Mike Searson

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- Some shooters and CCW carriers are lucky.

They choose a make and model of firearm that they are comfortable with, try out a few holsters until they find the right one and life is good.

It’s a bit harder when you collect, review and carry something different every once in a while.

Remembering if you have to operate a safety or just pull, aim and squeeze is a notorious problem for the multi-gun aficionado, but so is coming up with a different holster....

A Tale of THREE Locations and FOUR RACES

Tue, 11/03/2015 - 08:50
Virginia Citizens Defense League

Covington, VA -(Ammoland.com)- This Tuesday, November 3rd is an important election. Let me highlight how important and why.

Recently we told you about Governor McAuliffe’s outright attack on gun owners, from pushing for gun registration and eventual confiscation via Universal Background Checks to banning the citizens of Virginia from protecting themselves in state agency buildings. He wants control of the Senate to help him expand his gun grabs and we must stop him from achieving that goal.

Michael Bloomberg and other gun haters have funneled over $2,000,000 from outside of the Commonwealth to steal control and hand it over to Second Amendment political enemies, like McAuliffe!

Let me give three geographical areas and four individual races as examples of where this political battle rages right now. The VCDL-PAC has made endorsements in each that help highlight the importance of the election on Tuesday,...

Keep Calm and Carry Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- The growth in both types and numbers of gun owners, and the coincident drop in violent crime have not induced gun prohibitionists to reconsider their position.

A rational person might look on these big-picture truths as evidence that her thinking could be wrong.  But if gun prohibitionists were rational people, civil rights activists wouldn’t be working day in and day out to defend that precious right secured by the Second Amendment.

On the contrary, as more
