Everyone should do their best to be aware of their surroundings at all times -- kids and adults alike -- so that they can mitigate potential threats. If your kid has practiced this skill and doesn't spend half of his waking hours head down into an electronic device, he is MUCH better prepared than m...

As you point out, the effectiveness of Universal Background Checks isn't expected to be measured by a drop in the criminal use of firearms. UBC isn't designed to affect criminals at all -- only otherwise law abiding citizens. It is also my understanding that a Government database of firearms ownersh...

Everyone who worships wants to do so in safety. For me, that means that I choose to worship where I and my fellow congregants can legally be armed. Our church is posted 30.07, which I have no problem with. I serve on a rotating basis as a primary security person, attending worship in the narthex, lo...

The only gun I have seen this sort of thing happen in was a Scandium frame, Titanium cylinder, S&W 325PD when using 230 gn Blazer aluminum cased ammo. The aluminum cases did not grip the bullet well enough to prevent them from creeping out (there was no crimp into a cannelure) due to the momentu...

Evil will find a way... Good people should be and remain prepared.

The corollary to "know your target" is "know when, where, how and who you can surprise at night". This is a tragic result of failures in front of, and behind, the gun.

Still have and carry the M&P Gen. 1 9C. New generation, but same gun. I don't see much news here, other than S&W trying to capitalize on the market for guns in the 10 - 12 round magazine capacity. To me, S&W missed the mark... the competition (SIG P365 and the new Springfield gun) are si...

Criminal violence happens everywhere and social decay has eliminated shame as a guiding force even for violent criminals. Sadly, this means that Churches (often true sanctuaries in the past with their door always open) now have to implement real security measures for premises and staff. As to the he...

People in the choir know there are other choir members singing and choir members don't falsely and publicly call out other members for not singing. Also, most choirs do not appreciate the know-it-all that shows up out of no where and starts lecturing the other choir members. I agree with these poin...

You are preaching to the choir, not the peanut gallery. Interesting note about being in a choir... the most beautiful sounds can only be made when the choir members can each hear one another. When one or more members raises their voice above all others to the point that they can't, or won't, hear e...

When you're promoting Democracy (raw or the Socialist variety), I guess it pays to organize your community according to your agenda.

The pesky thing about natural human rights is that regardless of Government acknowledgement -- like that enshrined in the Second Amendment -- they still exist.

It seems to me that a person has an increased likelihood of getting cancer by continuing to exist. The only sure way to prevent a cancer diagnosis is to die prior to being diagnosed.

The Leftist/Statist/media slant to demonize firearms is plainly evident to anyone who cares to do a little research. This slant serves one purpose -- to ultimately make individual ownership of firearms a criminal act, thereby ceding all effective deadly force options to the Government and (other) cr...

Seek exit from the vicinity for my party by using cover/concealment wherever possible and transiting open spaces as quickly and low-profile as possible, being ready to engage with the shooter at any point along the way. Assist others along the way where possible. My duty is to my loved ones first an...
