The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
Larry Weeks is retiring from Brownell’s. Larry was in the new media outreach game before it was cool, and was an early supporter of gun blogging. I share many of SayUncle’s sentiments on the matter, since I think we both first met him at the Gun Blogger Rendezvous in Reno, Nevada back in Fall of 2007. We … Continue reading “We Will be Sorry to See Him Go”
Sunday is usually the most relaxing day of the show because the crowds ease up from Saturday and there aren’t as many long events to squeeze in as Friday. But, let’s talk crowds at this year’s NRA Annual Meeting. Sebastian and I both observed that this year’s crowds were so much younger than previous years. … Continue reading “NRA Convention, Day 4”
Well, it’s been a busy week for me, and I’m glad it’s over. I’ll end it on a news dump: NY Sheriffs really do oppose the SAFE act. But I thought law enforcement was on their side? Also, an update on the SAFE lawsuit. SAFE has now been enforced on an otherwise honest citizen. Why are … Continue reading “Friday Evening News Dump”
Several days of ridiculously nice weather had me itching to take the AR-15 to the range, but suddenly realizing I’m way too low on .223 ammo interfered with my plans. Looking online, ammunition is still scarce and expensive, so it’s time to dust off the reloading bench. Fortunately, I still have plenty of Varget, plenty … Continue reading “It’s Reloading Time”
The good news is, the company I work for has managed to get itself into a better financial position and my job isn’t as as iffy as it was a few months ago. Thus much of my hard work over the past year has paid off. The bad news is, I don’t get to stop … Continue reading “Good News, Bad News, and a Digital Camera Bleg”
Molly is one of the up and coming junior shooters sure to have a bright shooting career ahead of her. I met Molly and her family at the Gun Blogger Rendezvous last year. Molly blogs over at the Molly Minute if you’d like to follow her shooting.
Mr. Completely is preparing to once again head to the European Steel Championship in Holland. What intrigues me is that the entire event is conducted at an indoor shooting range. It looks like they surround the steel with a ring that would appear to prevent ricochet and splatter. I actually talked to Mr. C. about … Continue reading “Indoor Steel”
Probably the main highlight of the Gun Blogger Rendezvous IV was being able to spend some time talking with Alan Gura, the attorney who argued and won the Heller case before the Supreme Court of the United States. When I say we owe Alan Gura a lot, it’s an understatement. He put together a case, … Continue reading “Mr. Gura Goes to Reno”
Kind of a last minute thing, but I will be attending the Gun Blogger Rendezvous IV next week out in Reno, Nevada.  So last minute I’m worried my registration won’t make its way through the postal system to Mr. C before he actually heads out there.  My job situation has been less than secure (who’s isn’t … Continue reading “I Will Be There – At GBR IV”
This range is the one we shoot at for GBR. It’s a great facility. Shooting out to 1000 yards from a covered firing line. It would be a shame if Washoe County made any major changes to it, because it’s the best public shooting range I’ve ever been to. UPDATE: Gun Blogger Rendezvous information can … Continue reading “Changes Afoot for GBR Range?”
