One lucky winner will take home a firearm of their choice — up to $1,200 in value. You get to pick the model that fits your personal protection goals, and coordinate pickup...
Read More →So the worst-case scenario just played out. You’re still standing, and the bad guy isn’t. You were just attacked, and were forced to use your gun to defend yourself. But what happens after that? Will you be let go scot-free because you were in the right? Would the cops consider your position strong enough to…
You stink. Being human has lots of advantages: opposable thumbs, excellent color vision, and intelligence. What we’re missing, unfortunately, is much of a sense of smell—something that just about every game animal has in spades. To your buddies, you don’t smell like much at all, but to a deer? You might as well have jumped…
Accuracy at a distance is both simpler and more complex than you think. Is the ability to accurately shoot at 500, 600, 700 yards and further an innate ability, or a skill that anyone can learn if they apply themselves? We as a society thrill to the stories of long-range snipers like Carlos Hathcock, Lyudmila…
When the wilderness gets wild… If you spend enough time in the outdoors, sooner or later you’re likely to come across a critter you aren’t happy to meet. The good news is that your worries are probably unfounded when it comes to most of them. The bad news is that there’s one you’re probably not…
Here’s why you should care about Florida’s ban on gun ownership for adults under 21. In the immediate aftermath of the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School this past February, Florida Governor Rick Scott signed a law banning gun ownership for Florida adults between the ages of 18 and 21. As with any law…
The Shakespeare quote about “Sound and Fury, Signifying Nothing” is relevant here. I am looking into 3-D Plastic Guns being sold to the public. Already spoke to NRA, doesn’t seem to make much sense! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 31, 2018 A better man than I am coined a term to describe what happens…
A very wise man once said, “There’s dumb, damn dumb, and this list of videos that’s about to follow.” That very wise man was me, and he said it just now. I’m feeling pretty good about my own intelligence, you see, because I just took a walk down Memory Lane with these seven classic videos…
(Or piano, or football, or cheerleading) Any parent can tell you that the most magical time of year is not Christmas, but the advent of “back to school.” Since you’re probably figuring out which extracurricular activities your kid will complain about attending for the next three months, here’s a thought: Instead of soccer, or piano,…
“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. Although they’re generally meant to be funny, or to…
In the interest of fairness, we occasionally enlist the wisdom of anti-gun expert Ima Nidiot, Kindergarten Color Guard mascot and personification of the word “moist.” Take it away, Ima! After I last bestowed my wisdom upon an ungrateful and undeserving public I was asked, “But Ima, how am I supposed to defend myself from criminal attack if you’ve grabbed all…
Protip: All of these work for men, too! I recently wrote a satirical piece about how not to introduce a woman to the shooting sports, but the importance of increasing women’s participation in shooting isn’t a joke. Women make up just over 50 percent of America’s population; if even half of them understand that the Second Amendment enhances…
Introducing your wife or girlfriend to guns? Here’s how to do it wrong. Women are currently the fastest-growing demographic of new shooters, but it seems every time I go to the range I see some dude doing his level best to reverse that trend with his female companion. So if your goal is to ensure that…
