“We Don’t Dial 911,” “Keep Honking, I’m Reloading,” “Home Security By Smith & Wesson.” You’ve seen them: bumper stickers, wooden signs posted over doors—all proclaiming that the person inside this car or inhabiting this home is armed and ready to meet a threat with lethal force.

It’s also known as “handloading,” and it might just be your new favorite hobby. Simply put, reloading is the process of taking your expended brass and recycling it with a new primer, charge and bullet. Sounds boring, right? So why would you bother doing it when there’s perfectly good factory ammo for sale? Here are four…
Today, we have a guest column about self-defense for women, courtesy of Ima Nidiot, personal-odor trainer and legend in her own mind…Take it away, Ima! Hello, ladies! Ima Nidiot here, checking in with some expert self-defense advice carefully compiled from my years of intensive research at Whiskey Tango Foxtrot University and Doonesbury cartoons. It’s come to…
It’s not because you’re a sissy. Well, not entirely because you’re a sissy. Raise your hand if you’ve ever come home from the clays range with a Technicolor bruise extending from your shoulder to the crook of your elbow, or a nice shiner on your cheek.
