Last year, The Pit BBQ Restaurant in Raleigh hosted Gabby Giffords and her anti-gun tour through Raleigh to have a conversation about guns. Gun owners weren’t allowed to have a seat at the table to participate in the conversation. Last night The Pit restaurant in Durham was the victim of an armed robbery while they were open. Three armed men broke in the back door, and two employees were assaulted, and I assume cash was …

I’m consolidating some guns in order to make room for new ones. I bought both of these with the intention of shooting them for a while, and now their time is up. First on the block is my S&W M&P Shield 9mm. – SOLD I bought this pistol used with about 500 rounds down the pipe in September 2013. Since then I don’t believe I’ve shot more than 3-400 rounds through it. It still has …

Tonight I had a long conversation with a good friend who is a police officer in the Durham area. We were talking about the possibility of getting the laws allowing the Durham County Gun Registry repealed, and he brought up a really good point about why we need the the NC Pistol Purchase Permit repealed. Now, I seem to remember there being some fine print on my old PPP’s (haven’t seen one in years) about …

I saw this on LifeHacker yesterday, and felt obligated to share. It looks like Durham, NC (along with a host of other cities) is gaining the ability to text message 911 in an emergency. The LifeHacker article talks about this being beneficial for people who are deaf and cannot make a phone call, and I agree that is a big benefit, but I think they overlooked another benefit that it allows normal citizens to silently …
Read More »Repealing the Durham County Gun Registry
Ever since moving to North Carolina about 6 years ago, I’ve been baffled by the gun registry in Durham County. It seems that most gun owners (many of whom even live in Durham County) don’t even know about the registry, or feel perfectly okay with ignoring it. I’ve heard friends say things like “It’s not enforced anymore”, but the fact of the matter is that when a racist, anti-gun law is still on the books, …

I’m apparently out of the loop a little bit, so this information is a little out of date, but I still wanted to get this out. The North Carolina Rifle & Pistol Association is hosting some NC state shooting games. In May they have already had a Cowboy Action and IDPA match, and over the next month or so they will be having High Power, USPSA, 2-Gun Rimfire, Small Bore, Bullseye Pistol, and Vintage Military …

Whenever a friend asks if you want to shoot their gun, you say yes. Last week at the range I played with some full house .357 Magnum loads through a couple of GP100s. Too much fun!

Those high powered assault rifles have no use by law abiding citizens in our country! Amiright? A man in Henderson, NC used his AR-15 to defend his life from a violent home invader yesterday morning. Just before 10am the homeowner heard a noise that made him retrieve his AR-15 from under his bed. He the confronted the home invader who fired first, and the homeowner then shot back. The Einstein like criminal missed with his …
Read More »Morrisville, NC Parks Signed “No Guns” Incorrectly
It appears that even after ejecting Mayor against illegal guns Jackie Holcombe last year, the town of Morrisville, NC still hasn’t bothered to actually read the NC General Statutes regarding concealed carry in parks. Recently new signs appeared in the parks near baseball fields that say the following: “NOTICE: All Firearms Prohibited in This Area” The problem with this is that ever since HB937 was passed into law last year municipalities don’t have the authority …

Hillary “What Difference Does it Make?” Clinton is making waves with the pro-gun community this week after saying that we need to reject the idea that anybody should be able to carry a gun anywhere, and that we need to “reign in” guns in the US. This couldn’t be better for us. It’s apparent that Hillary is gearing up for a 2016 Presidential run, and seeing her come out foaming at the mouth against guns …
