  • Good and Pretti v ICE

    I have been putting this off for a long time because I know it will piss off lots of people. Today, I am mad at the world, so I will take it out on all of you. The Question Did ICE agents use excessive force when detaining Good and/or Pretti? Legal Standards Let’s review the…

  • Confiscation of Guns in United States

    As usual, when there are mass shootings or some kind of event like an assassination, gun control people like to say that there common sense gun controls can make a difference. Of course, they fail to understand that the shooter already broke multiple serious laws and that same person will break any other laws that…

  • The “Evil” AR-15

    AR-15 Myths and Misconceptions If there is anything that annoys me more than legislators passing laws about guns, it has to be the average person that also has absolutely no idea how guns work. Legislators don’t seem to even try to learn about the subject before they jump in and try to pass laws that…

  • So-called “Common Sense Gun Controls”

    The democratic party seems to be digging up their old playbook, again. Their claim is that they support private gun ownership, but only if gun owners follow their so-called “Common Sense Gun Controls.” Below are some examples of so-called common sense gun controls. The major issue with many of these potential laws end up making…

  • Bruen

    One word says it all when it comes to gun rights. Bruen is the word that scares gun control activists. The US Constitution, along with its amendments, is a fabulous document, and it is great to see that Bruen is having a positive impact on gun rights. Regrettably, there are too many people in high…

  • How Much Ammo/Magazines Should You Carry?

    Nobody ever walked away from a gun fight saying, “All that extra ammo was worthless, and I wish I wasn’t carrying it.” The only times when you can have too much ammo are when you are on fire or you are drowning. You should always have extra ammo and magazines because you never know when…

  • Press Check

    First, our apologies for taking so long between posts. We have been extremely busy, and we have been dealing with the loss of some family and some friends. Then there are the many chores, plus training time… You get the idea, we get busy just like everyone. Life happens. Anyway, with the release of series,…

  • Function Check for a Semi-Automatic Pistol

    Too many people do not understand the need to run a Function Check on their guns prior to breaking them down for cleaning or maintenance to check them again after cleaning or maintenance. On the surface, it makes sense that you need to know that your gun works before you tear it down, even if…

  • Rittenhouse Verdict

    The verdict is in, and the protests are about to go into full swing. In a previous post, the actions of Rosenbaum, Huber, and Grosskreutz were discussed. In all three cases, plus the other cases with unknown assailants, they took aggressive actions that could be reasonably interpreted as meant to cause death or serious bodily…

  • Buying a Non-Production Gun

    There are many guns that have been produced over the years, and many models are no longer in production. However, there are situations where it is not a problem that a gun is no longer made because there is a really large market for replacement parts. Some example would include the earlier versions of the…

  • Distance

    We hear about the 21’ rule, which really isn’t a rule, all the time in our community. Distance is more of an issue than most of us realize. Let’s break distance down into a few areas of concern. Reaction Distance – The Tueller Drill, 21 foot rule, is a measure of reaction time. The idea,…

  • Ammo and Gun Taxes = Elitist Rights

    It appears that with Biden’s election, legislators are feeling emboldened and are proposing more and more flawed legislation that won’t make any difference when it comes to the illegal use of firearms by criminals. What really is clear is that these legislators are being overtly discriminatory in their pushing what appear to be racist policies.…

  • Ammo Hoarding

    Clearly, ammunition availability is really low, right now. This is a very common concern, and it isn’t anything new to those that are shooting enthusiasts. What causes hoarding? The answer seems obvious. Of course it isn’t easy to explain. It really comes down to confidence in the stability of the world around us. This year,…

  • Kenosha Riot (Yes, RIOT) and Rittenhouse

    Where to start… Let’s start with the summary. Summary Dumbfuckery is as dumbfuckery does. The Players, Dumb Fucks, in this case Rittenhouse Bad decisions often happen from those without experience in the real world, and Rittenhouse made some bad decisions. The biggest bad decision was being at the riot. Of course, that same bad decision…

  • Hankison Compared to Sessoms

    I saw this meme on the Internet, today. I started to see red. To compare these two, in the same breath, in the same light, is completely irresponsible. I decided to step back, and gave it some thought. I decided to share my thinking. Definitions There are three different, for the most part, definitions regarding…

  • More Reloading Math

    I swore, many times, over the years that I would never reload 9mm ammo. It made little to no sense. Then, the pandemic hit. Ammo is scarce and pricey when you can find it. I am seeing most places selling 9mm at 40 cents per round. That is nuts. The pandemic also gave me lots…

  • Cost of Hand Loading

    It is horrible when the wife asks how much something costs. Absolutely horrible. Then, a gun loving friend asked me. Well, now I need to think about it. I will focus on just one caliber, 300 BLK, but the idea is pretty much the same for different calibers. The costs come down to: Equipment –…

  • Guns and Pandemics

    I have been putting off this blog entry for a few weeks. I wanted to see more of the reactions of our US citizens when it came to this pandemic. But, to summarize, we have seen: Lots of first time gun buyers and gun owners A lack of guns in gun stores because of the…
