    Obama shifts $45 million for armed cops in schools — a la NRA

    I spend my working life in a school building. Initially, it seemed a good idea to have armed citizens in school buildings. I also thought I would be a volunteer if it came to that. Now, I'm looking toward the key ingredient of training... requiring a high level of proficiency to carry. Am I...

    .22 long ammo........I am an idiot.

    Bummer! ... But there is still hope! I Have an old lever .22 that loves LR, L, and even short. A local Gander Mtn Sunday print ad had Remington bulk 525 .22 LR Golden Bullet 36-Gr for $19.99. That's a price I could live with. I think there should be a name for the feeling that overtakes ...

    Colorado recall

    It does sound like there is an effort by some to apply reasonable standards in terms of balancing mental illness and 2A rights. Still, it is a "weasel clause" that could be very useful to gun grabbers. It remains a very slippery slope.

    Colorado recall

    Maybe that's how it will CONTINUE. Even the NRA, as a proponent of mental illness exclusions, may not have picked up on this nuance...

    Colorado recall

    Love it! At the same time... You are absolutely correct that an obscure "mental illness" diagnosis is possibly the slipperiest of slopes. Subtle and extremely dangerous.

    Colorado recall

    I don't want to dilute this discussion, but there is also the stigma of labeling anyone "Mentally Ill" and having nothing but negative perceptions dictating any possible member of that club as being a certified threat to the community. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-21890032 Our...

    Where to shoot app

    I didn't know there were so many ranges so close to home. Realistically, I'll take the distances with a grain of salt, but it's worth a follow-up! Thanks for the post! :)

    S&W Safety Alert---M&P Shield

    I shot the notice to the one Shield owner that I know. I'll probably call her about it as well. Better safe than sorry. At least we'll make sure she keeps it in the safe while she's at the range. let S&W sort it out and keep her .... safe.

    A little knowledge for all semi-auto (and revolver) owners.

    The first time my BIL fired my S$W 669, 30 years ago... He did exactly as the video shows. Luckily it just ripped his thumb up pretty good and did not take it off. He still is a far better candidate for wheel guns than semi-autos in every conceivable way. Now for wheel guns... the rule of...
