Guns America

The title of this week’s column was named intentionally to mean more than just specifically what we will be talking about. Nowhere in this series will you find, “go do this and you will survive!” There is no such thing. But building skills that you don’t currently have, and backing up those skills with some usable resources, is at this point prudent. All I can do is sow some seeds of knowledge and hope that in your own best interest, you will follow up and build a library of survival knowledge, and a pile of survival assets. If you have followed us from the start, you will remember a year ago when I wrote the first article on seeds, and my focus then was “don’t screw it up” (because you will, and it is better to get the screws ups under your belt). Here we are now a year later, and for most of the country, this is a great time to start some seeds. Danger of a last freeze is quickly passing, and it is time for new things to grow.

"You know, those two or three days after the Sandy Hook shooting are some of the worst days of my presidency because I met those families right after," Obama said. "And you're talking about 6-year-olds who were just systematically murdered. And that may be one of the few times where I was just shocked that Congress didn't act."

From NRA Freestyle, "500 yard rifle shots take more than skill. You have to be confident enough to trust your instincts. Before she hits the range, Reagan is tasked with the ultimate confidence-builder: a rock climbing wall."

As I was writing the most recent Shooting History review on the Winchester 1873 I got to thinking about how that one lever action is called “The Gun That Won The West”. If nothing else that is some very clever marketing for sure. Not to belittle the ’73, it is a very fine rifle. But saying it single handedly “won” the west is a bit of a stretch. Then there is the whole issue of if The West was won, stolen, liberated or invaded. But that is a discussion for a different time and place. Let’s talk about guns!

Finding the right gun is complex. Finding the right holster should be an afterthought. But it isn't the wrong holster can color how you feel about the gun, and about carrying. If you're in the market for a truly rugged Kydex rig, I'd suggest RLSmith. These things are robust.
