Early this morning there was a shooting right here in Wake Co. The story is that two men knocked on the door to a home around 1:45am, a 13 year old female answered the door, and she was shot. The subjects then entered the residence and shot the girls father as well. I don’t want to Monday morning quarterback this too much, but some serious mistakes were made here that we should all learn from. …

I must have turned the radio on in my office at just the right time this morning, as I don’t usually listen to Glenn Beck unless I’m caught up on podcast listening. Anyways, when I tuned in, Beck was talking about how these gun related TV shows (Hot Shots, and 3-Gun Nation) had been cancelled after Sandy Hook, because NBC decided they didn’t want anything to do with them anymore. Beck bought them, and will …

I reported several months back that I had purchased a Becker BK2 knife to pull bushcraft and woods duty. I found the knife to be a hefty beast, but immediately the slick plastic grip scales were a problem. I want this knife to do everything I need in the woods, and the slick handle just wasn’t cutting it for me. While it isn’t the ideal knife for all tasks, it’s certainly a good jack of …

The ‘Starbucks Appreciation Day’ event that was planned at the Newtown, CT Starbucks on Friday didn’t happen. The anti-gun zealots threw a temper tantrum and decided to protest the Pro-gun group. I can’t really blame the antis for organizing a counter protest, because here in the Triangle we love giving antis a good southern welcome whenever they come to town. Here’s the message posted on the Starbucks Blog: Dear Customers, At Starbucks we are proud …

Well, it’s that time of year again, today is Starbucks Appreciation Day. I’m not sure who organizes this, but it’s nice to see a company not bowing to pressure from the anti’s, and their coffee is alright too. I’d love to get a cup of coffee on the actual Starbucks Appreciation Day, but unfortunately I have to go to work. Here’s the deal: Saturday, 8/10/2013 at 11:00am Starbucks  6716 Falls Of The Neuse Rd Raleigh, …

Recently Illinois passed a concealed carry law that allows for restaurant carry. This happened right around the same time that HB937 was passed in NC which will also allow for carrying a concealed handgun in an establishment where alcohol is sold and consumed. The anti-gun media is having a field day with this in both states, which we expected would happen. What I didn’t expect was that so many people would spread blatant untruths about …

With North Carolina House Bill 937 becoming law in 2 months, there will be a lot more people leaving firearms locked in their vehicles where they previously could not have them. Criminals are pretty good at looking at a vehicle and determining whether or not it’s a good target for a smash and grab, and they aren’t stupid, even though many of us would like to think that they are. Take an objective look at …

For the past couple of years, it seems like everybody and their brother has been making these kydex pancake holsters and I’ve got to say, I think they are terrible. I shot my Glock 17 at the Shoot2Live IDPA match on Saturday, and the first holster I could scrounge up in the closet that fit it was a kydex pancake holster that I made some time back. You know the type, they look like this …
