What the Naysayers Simply Won't Admit About Constitutional Carry

In this interview, Charles C.W. Cooke, a contributor to America's 1st Freedom and a senior writer with National Review Online, takes on the rhetoric anti-Second Amendment activists (some of whom are politicians) throw about whenever a constitutional carry bill comes up in any state. These activists claim there will be "Wild West shootouts" in the streets and more, but then, after constitutional carry passes—none of that ever happens.

Gun-Free Signs: An Affront To Logic And The Constitution

All gun owners who exercise their right to carry have had this experience. While running errands, picking up the kids, dropping something off at the city or county offices, grabbing a bite to eat, or maybe even just walking down the street, we're confronted with a sign prohibiting firearms.

The procedure can be lengthy, but it is worth the time because nothing can rob you of accuracy faster than a poor trigger press. Read More

First Gear: Must-Haves for Gun Owners

The bridge between "good enough" and "excellent" is often made up of very small design differences. Such is the case with the Magpul Technical Glove 2.0.
