On Wednesday, March 6, the Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations held a hearing supposedly geared toward “Addressing the Public Health Emergency of Gun Violence.” That hyperbolic title, however, betrayed the real agenda of the event, which was to create the false impression that an...

Imagine the following scenario... It’s 9pm and you are taking your dog for a walk around your neighborhood. You live in a “safe” area and you have walked your dog on this route every night for years without a problem. It’s dark, and as you walk you notice some shapes moving in the bushes ahead of you.

In 2017, anti-gun researcher John Donohue and his team released a study that purported to find that Right to Carry laws increase overall violent crime rates.

by Jim Irvine

7:00am Monday, June 03, 2019

I recently attended the “Partner Tactics” class at Tactical Defense Institute (TDI). I’ve taken most of their handgun classes (including this one, a few years ago) and help with the FASTER Saves Lives training at TDI, and with Chris Cerino. So I benefit from spending significant time on a range with world-class instructors. But I had not personally taken a class in a few years, and I know it’s...

What to Make of Crime in England?

7:00am Friday, May 31, 2019

Sometimes it’s hard to understand what things are really like “across the pond.” Anti-gun extremists in America reflexively point to England whenever the discussion about adding restrictions, and especially banning firearms, arises here in the United States. England, after all, had banned virtually all semi-automatic and pump-action rifles and shotguns in the 1980s, then imposed a near total ban...
