There’s been a long standing feud of sorts between the ‘tactical’ shooting community, and the competitive shooters. Many in the tactical group snub their nose at competitive shooters, looking down upon the types of pistols that are shot in games like USPSA Limited and Open, calling them “space guns” or “race guns” and saying that they don’t have a practical purpose in the real world. It seems that this trend has slowed recently, and some …

With the current state of things, many people are looking for ways to transport their rifles without carrying around a big case that screams “GUN!”. This past weekend I was walking around Gander Mountain  and I saw a display of covert rifle bags made by Blackhawk that were shaped like tennis bags, but they were just a hair bigger, which allow for a broken down AR-15 to fit in the bag covertly. Alternatively, Comp-Tac has …

As mentioned last week, Magpul has come out with a program which they are now calling the “Boulder Airlift” in order to get PMAGS into the hands of law abiding Colorado citizens before their rights to own them are taken away by an oppressive state government. Magpul is proud to announce the “Boulder Airlift”, our program to make sure that responsible Colorado citizens have the opportunity to own standard capacity PMAGs prior to the potential …

As if you didn’t already know that Magpul is an awesome company with their threats to pack up and leave Colorado if there is a ban on “high capacity” magazines, this evening they posted the following message on the Magpul Facebook Page: We are proud to announce that within a matter of days we will be going live with a new program. Due to a bill currently moving through the Colorado legislature, there is the …

Last week I told you about Magpul threatening to leave Colorado if there was a ban passed on high capacity magazines. This week, Beretta has joined the fight, threatening to leave Maryland if they pass any measures that would make it illegal for citizens to own their products. The Washington Post interviewed Jeffrey Reh, the general counsel for Beretta. “Why expand in a place where the people who built the gun couldn’t buy it?” said …

I’ve been taking concealed carry seriously for almost 5 years now, and in that time I’ve carried a lot of different pistols. Some have stuck around longer than others, but for the most part, I’ve carried a Glock 19, with either a S&W J-frame, or Kel-Tec PF-9 as a smaller option. Recently I pulled my old Glock 17 out of the safe, and began dry-firing with it. I’d forgotten how much I loved the Glock …

I like this new ad from the NRA, it tells the truth.  

Just a reminder for those of you planning to attend the C&E Gun Show in Raleigh this coming weekend (Feb. 23rd and 24th, 2013) there has been a change in the way the entrance to the show will work. Here’s the procedures from the C&E Gun Show Website: Anyone bringing firearms to the Raleigh show must enter at Gate 4. All firearms must be UNCASED, UNLOADED with the actions open when walking to the building. …

Com·pro·mise Noun: An agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions. Verb: Settle a dispute by mutual concession.   Compromise is the settlement of a dispute that is reached by EACH SIDE making concessions. The gun grabbers in congress are using the word compromise over and over again when talking about our 2nd Amendment rights, yet, they don’t seem to understand the meaning of the word. They have …

I saw this hit my Twitter feed this afternoon, thought it was pretty cool to see a local company get a shout out from Michael Bane! Allen from Tarheel Targets does a lot for the shooting sports locally, having sponsored the IDPA East Coast Championship last fall, the North Carolina Justice Academy Charity Challenge, the monthly IDPA match at H2O Fowl Farms. It’s exciting to see that Allen is now sponsoring the IDPA Indoor Nationals …
