Using the .22 for Self Defense

8:00am Friday, August 23, 2013
by Greg Ellifritz Since my handgun stopping power study was published last month in American Handgunner Magazine, I've received several questions from readers about my data. I expected to be castigated by all the big bullet aficionados for reporting honest data about the "mouse gun" calibers. That wasn't what I received. All the email that I got was from .22 advocates telling me that I...

7:00am Monday, May 06, 2013
by Greg Ellifritz I recently became aware of a published legal opinion from the Ohio State Fire Marshal’s Office. I've copied the full opinion below, but the Cliff's Notes version is that if you shoot a commercially purchased or homemade exploding target in Ohio, you could face felony charges!

7:00am Wednesday, July 04, 2012
With the upcoming holiday, let's look at what it might mean to some people…a day off with pay, just a day off, family, friends, cookouts, reunions or just a day to lounge and watch the fireworks. As for me, I think of our Constitution, our founding fathers, our Bill of Rights, our military men and women who are performing their duties to protect our freedom. “FREEDOM”. We say it often, exclaiming...

K.I.D.S© - A Proactive Approach to School Murders

3:00pm Friday, June 15, 2012
by Ron Borsch EARLY CITIZEN AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OPTIONS Just as we have mistakenly treated the symptoms of a malady instead of the root cause, so too have we failed to adequately address the copycat root problem of Rapid Mass Murder© (1) by an active killer (2) in educational facilities and workplaces.
