February 11, 2016 As the election heats up, political pundits and Republican establishment candidates are doing everything they can to convince you that they are staunch supporters of the 2nd amendment. But one look at these people’s voting records, and past statements, shows how full of crap they are really are. But, but… the NRA, […]

Some recent visitors to the White House might have noticed a new decoration around the property. Some new signs have been posted a couple weeks ago that remind visitors not to bring guns or any weapons onto the premises. The new signs are posted just outside the guard posts and threaten fines and prison time […]

UPDATE: The ccw permit holder in this story has reportedly gotten his job back. He was not a direct employee of GM but hired by a 3rd party service. I’m sure GM was not happy about the bad PR they were getting in this incident, and thanks to sites like this one, a law abiding […]

Unfortunately, when it comes to real-world self-defense those paper targets aren’t preparing you for the stressful realities of what it really takes to draw your weapon in defense. When training, you […]

We are constantly reminding anti-gunners that gun-free zones only encourage mass shootings to take place there, and this story makes our point even more salient. The FBI has thwarted an attack from an ISIS supporter who planned on carrying out a shooting at a Michigan church simply because concealed carry would not be allowed there. […]

The guys at Desert Tech make serious rifles for serious operators. Their initial claim to fame was based on their bullpup version of high-end bolt-action sniper rifles, like the SRS-A1. It’s about a foot shorter than a conventional rifle of the same caliber and barrel length. Perfect for home defense? Not really. I admire this […]

Right now, prepping is seen by society at large as strange and a little silly. Shows like “Doomsday Preppers” has given prepping a bad name, making us seem like paranoid but harmless eccentrics.
