Like many Americans, I've been following the national discussion about policing for many years. But I question whether this "discussion" benefits anyone. As with so many public issues, this one has become starkly political and binary. Either you think police are insensitive brutes violating rights at every opportunity or you think police are being unfairly blamed for the actions of a few bad...

by Greg Ellifritz

7:00am Friday, November 03, 2017

Have you ever considered using your handgun as an impact weapon? Before you do, you may want to think about a few things. Take a look at this article . A cop used his pistol to break a car window and accidentally cranked off a round. Don’t think that trying to break a window with the butt of a pistol is an isolated incident. I’m aware of an officer from a police department near me doing the same...

See With A Hunter's Heart

by Craig Springer

7:00am Thursday, November 02, 2017

I can see the old Ohio farm with the eyes of my heart, anytime that I like. I intersected with its fallow fields and fence lines for what was really only a brief period of my youth before moving back out West. And every time that I look, the mental image is always the same: It's November. Fat raindrops patter stalks of grasses that lie flat to the ground. Sodden soil curls like dough around my...

NRA Doesn’t ‘Buy’ Politicians, but Gun Controllers Do

7:00am Monday, October 30, 2017

The gun control movement often exhibits a dearth of critical thinking skills. Nowhere is this more apparent than in much of the gun control community’s insistence on claiming that NRA has the resources and ability to “buy” politicians. Whenever gun control enters the national spotlight anti-gun activists and the media level this lazy charge. Editorial pages are replete with cartoons depicting...

UK: Growing Support for Arming More Police

7:00am Friday, October 27, 2017

The UK’s fear of firearms, and potential weapons of all kinds, is well-documented. Subjects are urged not to carryany item, such as pepper spray, that might be adapted for self-defense.
