Sig Sauer is suing the BATFE over the BATFE’s classification of a muzzle brake that Sig manufacturers. The BATFE is claiming that the muzzle brake is a suppressor, where Sig claims that it doesn’t suppress sound at all. The Seacoast Online article that broke this story doesn’t say which particular muzzle brake is being questioned, but I have to assume it’s the brake that was slated to be released with the civilian version of the …

Earlier today I attended Andrew Branca’s speech on the law of self defense at Campbell Law in downtown Raleigh. I’ve had a little interaction with Branca in the past in addition to reading his book “Law of Self Defense”, and he’s very read on self defense law, and how it relates to concealed carry. Today Branca was speaking to a group of law students and professors, in addition to a handful of us regular folk. …

I don’t generally post these kinds of articles here, but I wanted to share an interesting contrast with this particular case. A kid in NJ was suspended for pointing a pencil “like a gun” Ethan Chaplin, a seventh-grader at Glen Meadow Middle School in Vernon, was sent home for two days after he allegedly pointed his pencil like a gun in math class, according to News 12 New Jersey. When I was in 7th grade, …

I’ve been interested in getting started in reloading for a while, but the up front investment was keeping me from jumping in. Ben would tell me how nice it was to learn on a turret press, and other people would tell me to dive in head first and buy a progressive. Don’t even get me started on the blue hoard who answer any question about reloading with “Buy a Dillon!” I’d like to, but it’s …

Black Rain Ordinance has released NY compliant AR-15, removing all of the evil features that make the rifle illegal in the state under the NY unSAFE act. This has the anti gun folks up there in a pretty tricky situation, since they got what they wanted in the law, but all the sudden that isn’t good enough. Newsmax is reporting that Leah Gunn Barrett (yes, that is actually her real name… seriously) who is the …

A couple weeks back we put out the call for some more iTunes reviews for the podcast. The fact is that the overwhelming majority of our audience uses iTunes or other Apple devices to consume the show, so getting those reviews in iTunes really helps us to grow! Since putting out the call, y’all have really come through for us, so much so that this morning we’re listed in the Top 5 Outdoor podcasts in …

Otis McDonald, the man who fought the Chicago handgun ban all the way to the Supreme Court, and won, passed away today. We’ll forever remember the McDonald ruling, but don’t forget that there was a man behind it that got the ball rolling.

Just a heads up, my Mossberg 930 is up for sale at Carolina Gunrunners in North Raleigh. It’s your standard Mossberg 930 with an 18.5″ cylinder bore barrel.

Episode 75 has been extremely popular, so I went ahead and uploaded it to YouTube for your listening pleasure. (Link for those reading this in an E-mail or RSS reader)

I generally try not to stray too far from guns and gear and stuff like that here at Triangle Tactical, but sometimes there’s a story that I can’t let slip by without mentioning: The Washington Post is reporting that the US Government created a Twitter like social network in Cuba in order to stir unrest, and possibly overthrow Castro. I don’t like Castro. I don’t like communism, and I don’t like that the Cuban people …
