Myths abound about firearms and the ‘scene’ surrounding them, and some of the most onerous and persistent ones rear their ugly heads after notorious shooting incidents. As dedicated Second Amendment enthusiasts and defenders of the right to keep and bear arms, it’s our job to (politely!) educate the uninformed masses on the facts about firearms.

These past few days, we have joined together in sadness, shock, and grief as we mourn the loss of over 50 people during the tragedy in Las Vegas on Sunday night at the Route 91 Festival during Jason Aldean’s concert. I had the sincere pleasure of living and working out there for a year, and met many amazing people, most of whom I’m still friends with today.

My best wishes also to the first responders and local, state, and national law enforcement agencies who are no doubt working hard to find the correct answers as to the motives of this unhinged maniac. I know the answers will not come easy, but when they do, I hope they shine meaning into the darkness.

While we were safe, and our evacuation procedures went as expected, the reality was that there were some glaring holes in our preps…

Chances are, you’ve probably purchased your firearms from a licensed gun dealer. You went to his or her shop, selected your firearm, checked it’s functionality, underwent the federally-mandated background check, paid for your gun, and took it home, after any municipal or state-mandated waiting period, if applicable. That being said, despite misconceptions to the contrary, you can also purchase a firearm from a private party if you so desire…

You decided on a preferred firearm for defensive use and have purchased it. You sorted yourself with your carry permit or chose to exercise your Constitutional Carry rights. You got yourself a proper holster. You’re getting comfortable carrying it around town and know the relevant laws. However, there’s the challenge of carrying where you spend a significant portion of your day…

It’s the summer recess for Congress, and obviously, all work on pro-gun legislation (and legislation in general) has come to a halt. With that in mind, it’s probably a good time to clear up one major misconception about the Hearing Protection Act that will revise restrictions on suppressors…

It’s been a hot-button debate in the firearms world as of late. Should you openly carry your firearm, or should you carry it concealed? There’s pros and cons to each method…

So, you’ve got your first AR-pattern rifle. It’s probably from a major manufacturer and has a barrel length of 16 inches or longer. Maybe at your local gun shop, you saw ARs with barrel lengths less than that, with the tagline - “All NFA Rules Apply…”
