I’ve always wondered about the cut rifling process, and finally came across this video illustrating how its done. Simple, yet complex. Very cool.

Tom Gresham has been working with his Gun Talk Radio show listeners about the Shaneen Allen case (Pennsylvania mother arrested for carrying a concealed handgun in NJ who is facing more than a decade in prison for doing nothing more than crossing a state line with her gun) to raise money and put up billboards in NJ to raise awareness about the case. Just about an hour ago the above photo was posted on the …

Last fall, I wrote a post about the NC State Fairgrounds being posted against carry with “No Weapons” signs during the NC State Fair. I went through all of the relevant statutes that I could find about concealed carry, and I wasn’t able to find the legal justification for the state to post the signs that they did. I pushed the post from last year out to the Facebook group again this week, and we …

On Saturday I shot the H2O Fowl Farms September IDPA match. I added most of my comments in the video as a voice-over, so have a watch: I made some very amateur mistakes that I need to work on going forward. I’ve already ditched the extended slide stop (which I knew would create a problem when I purchased the pistol, I just never bothered to swap it out), and hopefully I won’t have to deal …

It seems that the 2A community is divided on the issue of whether or not to still shop at, and do business with businesses who have issued these “respectful requests” not to carry guns in their stores. I’m curious where the Triangle Tactical braintrust stands on the issue, hit the embedded poll below, and please share with your friends! I’m also curious to know why you do or do not still shop at these businesses. …

A few months back I picked up a Gen4 Glock 34 to use as my main competition pistol. After countless hours of dry fire, and a bunch of matches with the pistol I’ve come to the conclusion that I want some sort of extended magazine release for the pistol. The trouble is that with the Gen4 pistols, Glock doesn’t offer an extended mag release from the factory. With the Gen3 line, the Glock 34 and …

Hours before the 2014 IDPA Nationals, the folks at IDPA HQ left the following message on the IDPA Facebook page ruling the CZ Accu-Shadow illegal for SSP: (Facebook link if the embed isn’t showing up.) Here’s the cited rule: I ran searches on the IDPA rulebook for both “OEM” and “original equipment manufacturer” and came up with zero results: I’m not extremely familiar with the CZ Accu-Shadow, but one commenter on the IDPA Facebook page …

Another business bans respectfully requests that you don’t bring a gun into their stores. Yawn. “To this end, we ask that guns not be brought into this environment unless carried by an authorized law enforcement officer,” the statement said. But then there’s this at CNBC: While the request is new, Panera plans to continue to follow state and local laws regarding firearm policy. The chain also won’t ask employees to enforce the new request or …

Today on the Today Show, Jeff Rossen talked about how to protect your family from a home invasion. It starts out pretty benign. Keep your bedroom doors open so you can hear noises, bring your car keys into the bedroom so you can punch the panic button, etc But then… Zeins also suggests keeping another item in your bedroom: “Buy a can of wasp hornet spray in the hardware store or the supermarket, keep it …

I only managed to get video of 4 of the 6 stages at the match, but got most of the highlights. Stages were fantastic and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. (Video Link for Email/RSS readers) Overall I shot well. The dry-fire is paying off, and I was very confident about my hits. I need to put in some more work on getting the reloads quicker, and better stage planning. Match Breakdown: Stage 5 …
