One issue happening, probably below the radar for most gun blogs, is the controversy going on right now in Pennsylvania over crossbow hunting. Many bow hunters are angry at NRA for their support of crossbow hunting in Pennsylvania, which was recently approved by the Game Commission over the objections of United Bow Hunters of Pennsylvania. … Continue reading “Crossbow Hunting”
Looks like United Bowhunters of Pennsylvania are taking a stab at getting the ban on hunting on Sundays in Pennsylvania repealed, at least for them. Even though I think Sunday hunting should be allowed, in general, I would support this more limited measure, if it can be passed. Might be a good thing for NRA … Continue reading “Bowhunters Looking for Sunday Hunting”
It’s interesting to note that the only article that the Chicago Sun Times manages to publish on the Leland Yee indictment is really more about Shrimp Boy and the the Chinese underworld in San Francisco than about Leland Yee, but an NRA lobbyist gets a ticket for not having his crossbow cased while hunting on … Continue reading “Media Priorities”
A look, by a reporter who feels the need to explain his qualifications: I am not exactly a gun virgin – I have been to a shooting range, and I have a brother who hunts. I’ve never gone hunting with him, though I’ve politely inspected his three guns and his crossbow. That’s about it for … Continue reading “The Gun Room in City Hall”
I have a slightly more detailed post up over at PAGunRights about today’s important win at the Supreme Court. It was a First Amendment fight that could have spelled the end for all outdoor magazines and any commercial sharing of hunting images across state lines.

A hunting blogger recently opened debate about supposed “high-fenced hunting” and preserve hunting. He has since added to it and I haven’t fully caught up. However, based on the opening of the post, I had to say something. My comments focus on the hunting community given the context. But, I think it easily translates into … Continue reading “Just Where Will It Stop?”
I’m glad to see NRA backing away from a proposal to open up a firearms season in bow hunting counties in West Virginia. The crossbow issue seems to antagonize bow hunters in Pennsylvania enough as it is. Let’s not get people pissed at NRA next door too. Also, can we not insult the bow hunters … Continue reading “Haven’t We Angered Bowhunters Enough?”
… against the undead. From the Federal Vampire Zombie Agency: Shotguns are somewhat less effective against zombies because of the zombie’s primitive mental capacity and enormous pain tolerance. As with any zombie weapon, you should use the shotgun only to buy enough time for escape. Or if a rifle is more your style: Vampires: FVZA … Continue reading “Self-Defense advise…”
