Here’s a silly pic to get your weekend started with a smile. This custom rifle was built by Reaper Tactical, and features Reaper Tactical’s own AR-15 lower. I’m just busy being …erm… fierce? Yeah, we’ll pretend I’m fierce. That sounds less embarrassing than it looks… Happy weekend, everyone. :]
BB Guns: Dangerous Toys?
I have many a fond memory of plinking in my grandparents’ backyard with my brother and his Daisy Red Ryder BB gun. Like many whose firearms interest started at a young age, that was my and my bro’s first introduction to guns. Well before we were allowed to pepper any empty soda cans or milk […]
Carjacking vs. Concealed Carry
Recently, a Houston man was able to defend himself from carjacking using his concealed carry. The concealed carrier, Dedrick Moore, visited a local McDonald’s restaurant (where he ate regularly) to return a Redbox movie to a kiosk there. After returning  the movie, two men approached Moore’s vehicle and forced him out of it and onto […]
Should Toy Guns Be BANNED?
When I was growing up, my parents often brought my brother and I out to spend time with my grandparents. We’d spend the day at their home, smack dab in the middle of nowhere, where the surrounding corn fields stretched on forever. At least, it seemed that way to me as an energetic eight year […]
Cold Steel Mini Tuff Lite – Little Knife, Big Help
Those who carry blades may find themselves gravitating to different styles of knives for different purposes. That is why I first began considering the petite Mini Tuff Lite. Some knives are better suited for heavy labor, some for self defense, while others are handy for small everyday tasks. This reviewer often finds herself carrying more […]
Photo Friday: Kahr CM9
The Kahr CM9 may be a little 9mm, but it’ll get the job done. I’ve found pistols like this to be easily concealed, but snappy shooters. What’s your take on the slim stack polymer nines, like the Kahr CM9, that seem to be flooding the concealed carry market these days?
Alternative Self Defense Tools: Tac Pens
There has been much discussion of self defense in gun free zones, and it brought to mind one of my favorite low aggro (that is, a tool that doesn’t appear conspicuously aggressive) self defense options: a tactical pen, like my Tuff Writer pen. But, before I give a detailed review on my Titanium EDC Gen […]

Pseudo Full Auto? The TacCon 3MR Trigger
We’ve seen the “bumpfire” stocks—both aluminum and polymer—that full automatic fire in a non-NFA manner. But, Tactical Fire Control, Inc. has a new solution for “pseudo” full auto fire for AR-15 style rifles: the TacCon 3MR Trigger. Set to hit sales floors before the break of 2014, the TacCon 3MR trigger has three settings: safe, […]
Road Rage and Guns
Last week, when a brazen speeder flew through a residential area in Norfolk, Virginia, two men flagged him down, telling him there were children around. In response, the indignant driver pulled a U-turn, and left his car to address the men who wanted him to reduce his speed. In a fit of road rage, he […]
