Contrived Data at Odds with Lived Reality

7:00am Wednesday, September 09, 2020

Shooting at the Speed of Decision Making

by Bob Jewell

7:00am Friday, September 04, 2020

One of my struggles as a shooter focused on personal defense has been in the area of shooting faster. A couple of training courses I’ve attended had tests at the end of the course that put an emphasis on shooting fast. Most of the time, I’d watch myself and other students shoot fast and miss. Misses aren’t acceptable in a gunfight, not only because they waste time, but because they can cause...

A Biden-Harris Administration Will Make You an Offer You Can’t Refuse

No, WKRC, Kyle Rittenhouse couldn't have open carried an AR-15 in Ohio without laws being broken

by Chad D. Baus

3:00pm Tuesday, September 01, 2020

If you looked up #FakeNews in the urban dictionary, it probably points to an article by WKRC (CBS Cincinnati) reporter David Winters. The problems begin with the headline and continue throughout. The headline, which screams "The Tri-State's long gun laws: Ohio, Kentucky don't have age limits on possessing AR-15s," is, at best, highly misleading, as will be shown below. The article is as bad as...
