Phosphate, chrome, nickel boron, nickel teflon. Sound familiar? You may be a “Gun Geek” (If so, you’re in excellent company.), particularly one looking at an AR-15 bolt carrier group, or BCG. These may be the most common coatings for BCGs, but several months ago, I discovered something new. The BCG I found, and obtained, was the Leitner-Wise Manufacturing […]
Photo Friday: Ruby & Her Ruger SR-22
My sister, Ruby, rocks her Ruger SR-22. And yes, her .22 LR rifle is sporting a lovely EoTech 512 optic. And yes, I am absolutely jealous of the entire setup. But, she earned it; she’s a crack shot with that Ruger SR-22, already. I might be a touch biased, but I’m an awful proud big sis.
This Bill Could Make Your Firearms Antique Guns
Oftentimes, when I hear about new firearms legislation, a pit falls into my stomach. Another groundless restriction designed by legislators unfamiliar with firearms function to ineffectively treat a symptom of a greater problem. Fortunately for myself, and other firearms enthusiasts, H.R. 4547 is, instead, a breath of fresh air. Proposed on May 1st, 2014 by Louisiana […]
Photo Friday: AR-15 During Fire – Midair Casing
I was looking through some of my firearms photos and realized I hadn’t yet shared this particular shot from firing an AR-15. I love when I can catch the 5.56 casing in midair, after it has been ejected. Nifty, no? The AR-15 featured is the Kavod KVD-15 “Alef,” which I reviewed here. Makes me think, it’s […]

The Smart Gun Mandate May Be Closer Than You Think
The US Attorney General, Eric Holder, has announced the direction he wants to take the DOJ with regard to “gun safety,” but the wheels are already in motion to legally mandate “smart gun” technology. At the end of February—2/27/14—Congress proposed Bill S. 2068, called the “Handgun Trigger Safety Act of 2014.” The spirit of the […]
Gun Tracking Bracelets: Opposition
Last week, we posted an article sharing the Department of Justice’s new “gun safety” research direction, including “gun tracking bracelets,” and other biometric scanning firearms technologies to “make guns safer” at cost of a $382.1 million budget increase. It seems that not all the response to the Attorney General’s announcement has been received with open arms. […]
Guns Allowed on Indiana School Grounds?
In the state of Indiana, the law has mandated that no firearms be allowed on school grounds, establishing the crime of toting a gun to a place of education as a felony. However, Governor Pearce recently signed a bill into law that will tweak that rule once it goes into effect in July. SB 229Â will […]
