And the results from the tests are about as bad as we expected. Here’s the first video from ShootingTheBull410: So, it’s almost as good at 2 rounds of .22lr… yeah. The next video comes to us from Richard Ryan (RatedRR on YouTube): Basically, the G2 RIP bullet starts out as a lightweight projectile, and then sheds even more weight on impact with a barrier. Interesting to see the effect that drywall has on the bullet, …

Long ago, I was a young cub scout interested in guns. I wasn’t old enough to hunt yet, but I wanted to make sure that I had the skills to take down the ‘turdy point buck’ once I got became enough to hunt. My Great Uncle gave me a 10 pump pellet gun somewhere along the line, and I was dying to shoot it. Unfortunately we lived inside the city limits, and shooting even the …

I have several Facebook accounts that I use to keep an eye out for whats going on with the other side. Recently I noticed this message go out across the many of the Misguided Moms facebook pages (They make many pages that all post the same stuff). HOLD THE DATE: Moms from across the country will be getting together in Indianapolis April 25-27. We’d love to have as many members present as possible. Please hold …

Compared to shooting a pistol match, shooting a rifle match is much more about preparation and knowledge. What’s the hold over for your rifle, ammo, and optic to hit a head box at 10 yards? 5? 25? Not to mention reloading rifle ammo being much more labor intensive. Shooting those super high-end precision bolt guns a few weeks ago at 900 yards is the same way: you do all the work up front, and actually …

I mentioned this when I recorded Episode 67 of the podcast last night, but for those who don’t listen (it’s OK, I know some of you just read the blog), Triangle Tactical turns two this week. Unfortunately I don’t know the exact date that I published the first post because I started on blogger, then moved to WordPress.com shortly after, and then finally moved to a self hosted site not long after that. In all …

A bill was introduced in Colorado yesterday to rollback the 15rd magazine capacity limit and some other garbage that was passed in the state last year. It seems like all of the good pieces of legislation are extremely short, and this bill is no different at just 2 pages. The Colorado House is currently sitting at 37 Democrats, and 28 Republicans. The Senate Democrats are only outnumbering the Republicans by one seat after the recalls …

Am I the only one who really isn’t all that worried about his promise of more executive orders? His twenty something EUs on guns last year were all pretty tame, and within his power as Chief Executive. Recently he issued a couple “executive actions” (press releases) about some other stuff that was still within his power. The only real concern I have would be more regulations from the BATFE on NFA items, but I think …

Even in their scenario, only the law abiding citizen loses his guns, and the criminals stay armed. Herp. Derp. Nice try.

The folks over at Slidefire put up a pretty awesome billboard over in the Chicago area, and the Misguided Moms are losing their minds about it over on the Lamar Advertising Facebook Page. The hilarious part about this is that nearly every argument from the anti-rights crowd was a logical fallacy of one type or another. Not a single fact based argument. Not. One. Let’s begin with the “Appeal to Emotion” fallacy first: “When you …

Ares Armor in National City, CA is battling for their 1st Amendment rights, while promoting the 2nd. These folks put up a billboard for their business, and are being threatened with legal action and jail time if they don’t take it down. I’ll be honest in telling you that I’m not super familiar with Ares Armor, other than hearing their name a handful of times when scouring my Facebook feed, but after looking over their …
