I’ve had the Springfield XDs 9mm for about a month now, and I’m still in love with it. It’s proven to be a fantastic little addition to my concealed carry lineup, and it’s a hell of a shooter too. I’m pretty particular when it comes to pistols, and sometimes the littlest things bother me about a certain handgun. This is really trivial, but I felt the need to share. The magazine baseplates on the XDs …

As we’ve been speculating for a few weeks, it’s now official that Ruger will be opening a manufacturing facility in North Carolina! More jobs coming to the state is a good thing, and getting more pro 2A business and money into the state is fantastic! Welcome to NC!

via Twitter Sorry Jim, but we know what this is about. Your last movie didn’t do so well, and you alienated a large chunk of your audience threatening us. The truly sad part is, your movie probably didn’t suffer that much from your comments or your song, no, it suffered because you aren’t funny. Go back to Canada, eh.

It is being reported that Sheriff Williams of Ashe County, NC is threatening the citizens of his county that he will stop signing off on suppressors if HB937 passes into law. Why Suppressors? I haven’t quite figured this out. HB937 does make it legal to hunt with a suppressor in NC, but I would think that the Sheriff Williams would agree with this, because certainly allowing responsible people (the ones who have went through the …

I mentioned earlier in the week that I shot three matches last Saturday, and shot all of them with the Springfield XDs 9mm. When the scores came out for the matches, I glanced over them and noticed that I took high overall at the BUG match, and didn’t give them another look. There’s an ongoing thread about the matches at H2O Fowl Farms over at Carolina Shooters Club, and one of the guys on my …

A couple months ago I picked up a “Grip Force Adapter” for my Glock 19 to hopefully rid myself of the slide bite issues I’ve been having with the pistol. For about $20 at my local gun shop, I grabbed a package that contained a smooth adapter, and a ribbed adapter. The Grip Force Adapters mount to the backstrap of the pistol using an elongated pin that goes through the trigger housing, and extends into …

Sean wrote an article today about the underhanded tactics being used by the Mecklenburg County Sheriff to keep from issuing as many Concealed Handgun Permits as other similarly sized counties (like Wake). Head over to NCGunBlog.com and give it a read. Also check out the GRNC Alert on the same subject.

Just blocks from the US Capital building, this video released by Adam Kokesh shows him loading a shotgun, chambering a round, and promising to be in DC for Independence Day next year. You may remember his planned Open Carry March on DC that was supposed to take place today (and would have ended badly for all involved), but didn’t, even though the name of the video is “open carry march a success”… Thoughts on this …

Take a moment today and read the Declaration of Independence, and ask yourself if we are still living in the country that the founders fought so hard for. When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s …

We mentioned on Episode 36 that Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly would be making a stop in NC to push their anti-gun, anti-liberty agenda, and now it’s finally been confirmed that they will be stopping in Raleigh on Sunday July 7th. Of course they still don’t say where in Raleigh they will be stopping, or what time, which seems to be a tactic of these groups so that nobody but the media has time to …
