My boss makes a dollar while I make a dime…that’s why I quiz on company time! Remember back when Facebook was actually sort of fun, instead of a hellscape populated entirely by people selling pyramid schemes to each other? I’m personally certain that it was the silly quizzes that made all the difference, and was…
When Ruger introduced the LCP in 2008, it sent the company to the head of the pack of designers of tiny, ultra-concealable CCW pistols. Twelve years later, the downsizing trend continues (in the best possible way) with the new, compact version of the Security-9: the Security-9 Compact. With an overall length of just 6.5 inches…
The perfect is the enemy of the good. In a recent column about how concealed carry saves lives, I related that one of the armed citizens we profiled had his openly carried firearm taken from him by his attacker. In a bit of a throwaway comment, I mentioned that the incident seems to bolster a…
It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine… Here’s a thought experiment. Whether it’s a zombie pandemic, the pouring out of God’s wrath a la Revelation, or my ex-wife’s Spanx developed a rip right as she bent over, but it’s happened–the world is coming to an end. In the…
A gentle reminder on the importance of “bearing” those arms… It’s human nature, and a human failing: Sometimes we just don’t want to be bothered latching our seatbelts (because we’re just going up the driveway to get our mail), and sometimes we don’t feel like strapping on our EDC rig (because we’re just going to…
From the creepy-but-explainable to the just plain bizarre… Every so often, the mostly-anonymous social-media site Reddit asks itself a question: Hunters of Reddit, what did you see out there that made you never want to go back into the woods? Some of the replies are clearly jokes; some of the replies aren’t especially freaky or…
What’s better than self-defense training videos? Free self-defense training videos! Are you like me? Sometimes I require a bit of convincing before I’ll commit to buying new tech for my CCW rig. It’s not that I’m (necessarily) a Luddite; nor that I’m (always) cheap. It’s that I’m relying as much on training and muscle memory…
What if you love endless ergonomic options and the warmth of hardwood? Ask any 10 shooters what they love about the AR-15 and its variants, and I guarantee that at least seven of them will mention how easy it is to adjust the stock’s length of pull to account for different shooters, clothing, and what-have-you….
Tonight, the anti-gunners are gonna party like it’s 2004. If you just got a flashback to the presidency of George W. Bush, don’t worry: It’s not your music-festival days come back to haunt you, it’s still 2019, and the anti-gunners just decided to try to use the courts to bankrupt gun manufacturers again. The Connecticut…
Even Indiana Jones sighed, “Why did it have to be snakes?” It’s not that I’m disturbed by snakes, of course. I’m a macho man and I definitely never, ever ran away from a water moccasin making loud yet oddly strangled yelps like a Chihuahua choking on a crack rock. Nor did I ever almost step…
Since when does turning 100 return you to your roots? Since January 2019, that’s when. When you hear the name “Mossberg,” no doubt the first thing you think is “shotgun,” and for good reason: The company is best known for high-quality shotguns at affordable prices. But did you know that, way back in 1919, Mossberg’s…
My nana always told me, “Trace, if you can’t say something nice about somebody, you just come sit down right here next to me.” Ever since the folks with a “D” after their names took the majority of the House last fall, the “gun control” schemes have been flying as fast and as furious as…
