Anti-Gun Positions of Walmart, “I Ban Myself for Life!”
It wasn’t enough that the descendants of Sam Walton have pivoted radically away from the Made in the USA mantra, so Walmart could make money at any cost. The rot that invades much of the American corporate culture seems to have taken root there as well, capitulation to the social media masses. They now bow to the basement dwelling outrage mob who demands action, as in Mom’s Demand Action. [Read more…] about Anti-Gun Positions of Walmart, “I Ban Myself for Life!”

S&W’s Model 40: Still a “Special” .38 Snubbie.
The Golden Age of the medium-frame .38 Special revolver as a primary law-enforcement sidearm ended several decades ago. However, small-frame snubbies (5-shot S&W J-Frames more often than not) are still enormously popular with CCW holders. In fact, even with the ascendancy of polymer-framed, striker-fired autos, more than a few LE types (and not necessarily old-timers) still employ these reliable little wheelguns, such as the S&W Model 40, in the role of a backup weapon.

Home Defense: Shotgun vs. Rifle
I advocate that homeowners use a pistol to get their family to a saferoom, then defend the room with a long gun. A saferoom does not need to be fancy, it doesn’t even need to be fortified, although that would be beneficial. A saferoom just needs to be a location where your family knows to gather for home defense, is equipped with a long gun (at minimum) and a cell phone on a charger to call 911.

Self-Defense: We Must Do “Something”
The shootings in Dayton and El Paso were horrible events. People who were going about their lives were gunned down by deranged “people.” The fallen are a continued source of pain to those who miss them. The wounded will have mental and physical scars for the rest of their lives. My heart goes out to the families of the dead, the wounded, and those who were traumatized by being there, even if a bullet did not find them. [Read more…] about Self-Defense: We Must Do “Something”
