Just because the “Area 51 Raid” started as a joke doesn’t mean we don’t need to prepare… A few days ago, some wag made a Facebook page announcing that it was time for we, the American people, to make a raid on Nevada’s famed “Area 51” so we could finally get to meet some aliens….
Mention air rifles to some members of elder generations, and they’ll wax nostalgic about shooting their buddy in the butt with their first BB gun. But now, we’ve got a new generation of shooters…and a second-generation Benjamin Fortitude for them to check out. The Fortitude, and air guns like it, isn’t exactly kid stuff: With…
This is your friendly reminder that the subject of one of these stories has been entered into a database as a “gun violence victim.” If you’re reading this, then you’re probably already savvy to the fact that being an armed citizen makes you safer than those who don’t exercise their gun rights. The problem is…
When SIG SAUER introduced their P365 pistol in January 2018, it raised the bar for concealed-carry striker-fired pistols everywhere, hitting the gun-sales charts at #1 with a bullet (so to speak). But SIG refuses to rest on their laurels, and has just released a brand-new version of the P365: the P365 XL. This big brother…
I promise I won’t shine it in my buddies’ eyes for a laugh. (Again.) The folks at Viridian Weapon Technologies recently introduced a new line of long-range illuminators that have put my poor suffering wallet on notice that I’m about to abuse it–as well as the patience of my friends–again. You’ll notice that I haven’t…
What do you do when you’re a “liberal,” but there’s a picture of you in blackface? Let us consider Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, a Democrat who was elected by the increasingly-blue parts of Northern Virginia that outnumber the rural (and very conservative) rest of the state. A few months ago, it came to light that…
Would it be weird if I bought a gun just because I love the name? Faxon Firearms has taken the next logical step for a manufacturer of quality rifle and pistol parts: They’ve created and are now selling firearms of their own. Their debut? Two brand-new 9mm semi-automatic handguns with names so badass I’m tempted…
And for five more days, you can get a sweet discount… A person could be forgiven for thinking that a company named “Safariland” mainly vends expensive double rifles, pith helmets, and perhaps some high-end mosquito netting, but the truth is that the company specializes in supplies for serious shooters, as well as law enforcement. As…
Did you know that every time you share a pro-gun meme, Nancy Pelosi gets heartburn? Memes are essentially the bumper stickers of the Internet, only better, because they don’t leave a sticky outline that you can spend hours trying to scrape off with your fingernail. They may be little more than an image and a…
As long-time GGD readers no doubt remember, last year Dick’s head Ed Stack spewed some goo about how Dick’s target market didn’t need to buy legal guns in a legal way anymore. Some commentators cheered—more about the Dick’s boosters soon—but others pointed out that this Dick’s move might be seen as biting the hand that…
LaserMax just came out with a new iteration of their famous Guide Rod Laser sighting system to go with the latest generation of Glocks: the Gen 5 17, 17 MOS and Gen 5 34 MOS. What makes this such great news for the average consumer is that it eliminates much of the usual fussing…
This Sunday, I’ll be celebrating “Not-A-Father’s Day” in my own way… Around about this time of year, after having purchased a present for my own father, I like to kick back and shop for a little something for myself…I like to call it my “Not-A-Father’s Day” gift. I think I’ve finally settled on the perfect…
