…in Iowa. I have many fond memories of learning to shoot with my dad and brother when I was a kid. We started off on my little bro’s Red Ryder, and by 7 years old, Dad decided I was ready to move up to the Ruger Mark III Target .22 LR pistol (which we still […]

My jaw dropped when I first read the news headline, “9-Year-Old Manassas Boy Arrested, Charged With Taking Gun to School.” My thoughts flashed to some of the violent attacks at schools in the past few years. Fortunately, this story read differently than I expected. A fourth grader at an elementary school in Manassas, Virginia did […]
The scene is Las Vegas, NV. The event is my first first SHOT Show experience. I, a shy female shooter, only newly introduced to the wide, and varied firearms culture outside of my own upbringing, was absolutely agape.

It’s not fair, but it is an unfortunate reality. As a firearms owner, you may want to make a bold political statement to help to […]
Shooting this select fire 9mm carbine by Thureon Defense was my first experience shooting full auto. I had a great time pouring through rounds with it. Nowadays, it’s a ludicrous idea to exhaust so much 9mm just for fun, so I’m now more even more grateful to have had the experience when I did. And, […]
Every day carry (EDC) blades have a multitude of practical uses, but what happens when you must rely on a knife for survival? This is where the Benchmade 915 Triage excels.
