If you are a member of the firearms community there is one place that political talk has no place: when you are teaching new people to shoot. Students or folks that you bring to the range don’t need a diatribe on the those lousy communists on the left or the merits of right-wing America. That... Continue Reading →
Fire Extinguishers and Guns: Why the Dichotomy?
Per the National Fire Protection Association, there averages 355,400 house fires a year in the United States.

Identity Politics, Victimology, and Guns
Throughout the years I have sought to understand how the mind works among those on the far left. I have come to the conclusion that there is simply no way for those of us who believe in the American values of liberty and individual sovereignty to ever understand leftist mindset. However, we can pinpoint the... Continue Reading →
Of Chainsaws and Guns – Dangerous Tools and Independence
Like perhaps some of you who read this, I was privileged to be raised by a father who was a real man, and still is despite his now advanced age. Sadly, there are far fewer of them in this generation, but we still have some, thank God. As part of being raised by a man... Continue Reading →
The Synagogue Shooting: A Reminder to be One of Gideon’s 300
There appears to be one thing most faiths share in common: the failure to plan for self-defense within the house of worship. The synagogue attack in Pennsylvania, which claimed 11 innocent lives, is the most recent testament to that. My intention is not to blame the victims here; the fault lies only with the sicko...

The Abdication of Self-Reliance
The abdication of self-reliance. Isn't that catchy? Unfortunately, that is the underlying factor behind every social trend that is working towards the destruction of this country. That is the title I will be using for it from now on. I write about things other than guns every once in a while, but, yet again, it... Continue Reading →

The True Reason for the Active Shooter Phenomenon
While homicide and other violent crime has continued to decrease the mass-killer shooting attack has seen at least some degree of an uptick in the past decade. The left would have you believe the problem is accessibility of guns. This narrative suites their agenda: the desire to disarm the citizenry. The right argues that a... Continue Reading →
Interview on Lions of Liberty Podcast
If you bend libertarian, which many gun people do, then you will probably enjoy the Lions of Liberty podcasts. I have been a listener of Lions of Liberty for quite a while and I highly recommend them for anyone that takes the preservation of personal liberty seriously. They produce three different shows, one of which... Continue Reading →
Nobody Needs an AR15! – How to Crush This Argument
The left hates the AR15 because it is of the same weapon family, and looks identical, to the standard military issued M4 carbine. The sheer notion that civilians have access to such a weapon drives leftists crazy and it is more symbolic than anything else. Leftists believe in the relinquishment of all individual strength to...
