âAll of the drama, none of the factsâ
27 Sept 12 âAll of the drama, none of the factsâ Creed of the media!

Gun âSafety?â
23 Sept 12 These observations, from a student new to our Art âTraditional four (Cooperâs) rules of gun-handling are phrased in a way designed to prevent âfalse positives,â that is: Inadvertently causing bullets to impact into things and people you did not intend to shoot.

World History, right in front of us!
21 Sept 12 The capture, sadistic torture, and barbarous murders of four Americans, including our Ambassador, in Libya on 9/11 is being wistfully, almost casually, talked about by the BHO Administration, like last weekâs dental appointment! From the lips of our Secretary of State, our clueless UN Ambassador, and BHO himself, Iâve heard âtragedy,â âunfortunate,â […]
Of revolvers and lever-action rifles
20 Sept 12 A student recently pointed-out to me an important truth that had not previously jelled in my mind, until he articulated it.

Military Rifles!

Rifle Sighting Trick
7 Sept 12 At a Rifle Instructorâs Development Course in the Midwest earlier this week, I discovered a useful trick for shooting a rifle from the support side.

Comments from a HS teacher in the Midwest:
3 Sept 12 Comments from a HS teacher in the Midwest: âWhen state government passed our current CCW âshall-issueâ law, I applied for, and received, my license. Since then, Iâve sought out accomplished trainers, including you, and I carry regularly. Until recently, our local anti-gun HS principal refused to allow even our PD SWAT team […]
