This is part one in a series of posts on turning a run of the mill S&W M&P Shield into the ultimate concealed carry pistol. The first thing that needed to be addressed with the Shield 9mm was the trigger.

Sean sent this to me this morning, and it’s great news! Months back we received news that there were two large sporting goods stores coming to the Triangle, and I speculated that it would be Bass Pro Shops, and Academy Sports, but it appears that I was incorrect, and I’m ok with that. Cabelas has come out in recent months as a huge advocate for the shooting sports, as well as hunting and fishing. I’ve …

It seems that there is a debate brewing about whether or not the North Carolina Department of Agriculture has the authority to post “No Weapons” signs at the North Carolina State Fair that is going on right now. You see, in the past the fair was off limits for concealed carry due to the admission fee charged for entry, but with the passage of House Bill 937, that was removed from the law. (Photo Credit: …
