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.

However, these are exactly the type of stories we need to highlight to educate non gun owners before they head to the voting booth. [Read more…] about Armed Good Guys: ‘I Saved My Life’

Firearms at Theme Parks — Universal

I recently spent two weeks vacationing in Orlando. Orlando is a fairly gun friendly city, in a mostly gun friendly state.

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”

Before we make a purchase, we research what we are buying. By the same token, an investment in time should not be taken lightly. We look to those with good information in order to learn.

The Obscure Symptoms of The UK’s Failing Self-Defense Policy

The looming knife crises of raw violence in London steadily descends above the serpentine mudflats and barge rush hour traffic of the nation’s most ancient and practical public thoroughfare. Meanwhile, Mayor Sadiq Khan and his bureaucratic minions hope and pray that the internal nuclear controversy of the Brexit affair overshadows the emanating violence spreading like a brutal fog of savagery and injustice across the island nation.
