Truth be told, I really only started paying attention to BHPs in the last, oh, 6 or 7 years. And the more I look at them, the more I like them. I've heard them described (in Star Wars terms) as "a more elegant weapon, from a more civilized age." :D I went to a gun show early this year (like...

No, not me. I ran across this blog post on Facebook the other day. I haven't seen it in any other thread, but thought y'all might enjoy it. http://www.agirlandagun.org/discoveries-of-an-anti-gunner-my-conversion-to-the-other-side/

I've had two instances in which I know that I was "made" as a concealed carrier. The fact that I carry is no big secret at work. I cannot carry at work, but everyone knows that I carry when I'm not at work. That has not always been the case, though. Back before the cat got out of the bag (I...

I found an article entitled "I carry a gun every day." While I can't say that I agree with every word, the sentence that particularly caught my interest was this one: Just for kicks and giggles, I thought I'd ask my fellow TFL'ers, "Who are you?" I'll start: I am the middle-aged guy in a...

Just as an FYI for anyone who is thinking about a new Springfield Armory M1A. They're offering free magazines with purchase: http://gearup.springfield-armory.com/Gearup.asp

For decades, my father has wanted to duck hunt in Canada. He always wanted to shoot some of those "stupid ducks." You see, by the time ducks get down to Arkansas, they've seen every decoy ever carved, heard every possible way to blow a call, and been shot at for a few months. As I'm sure you...

My father, brother and I just got back from Canada. Hunting Canada's "stupid ducks" is something that my dad has wanted to do for ages. By the time the ducks get to Arkansas, they've heard every call and seen every decoy ever made, and guys have been shooting at them for weeks. They're a...

I have a flinch. There. I've said it. I have it, and I need to fix it. According to the guys I shoot with (LEO firearms trainers), I have a flinch in which I "push over the top" just before the Moment of Bang, causing me to shoot low. I know that dry-firing is often named as one of the...

As some of you might recall, my first forays into the world of polymer pistols has been pretty well documented around here. It started with "Spats searches for a 9, phase 1," which eventually led to my purchase of a Glock 19. After I'd carried her for about 6 months, I posted "A Grudging...

Shane Tuttle has spent years keeping The Gun Show running smoothly, but he has decided that he'd like to take on a new forum, so he'll be moving in up here. I am sure that he'll do as good a job up here as he did in The Gun Show. Shane, welcome to Shotguns!

Ruger has announced a safety recall of the SR-556VT. The notice can be found here: http://ruger.com/SR556VTRecall/index.html

Woot! On February 22-23, 2014, an Appelseed event will be held in lovely, scenic Bald Knob, Arkansas! http://www.appleseedinfo.org/search-states-location.php?locationid=103&id_event=2121 I've wanted to go to an Appleseed shoot for a while now, but I've never been able to. Heck, I think I'll...

This one doesn't fall into the "Second Amendment Rights" category so much as it does "General Gun Laws," so don't look to it for guidance on expanding our 2A rights. However, TFL's mission is to foster responsible gun ownership. On that issue, I find this interesting. I see a lot of folks...

A Grudging Review of the Glock 19: First a little bit about myself, so that there are no misconceptions about my expertise in reviewing firearms. I have none. I’m an overweight, middle-aged lawyer. I’m not a “high-speed, low-drag operator,” and I never will be. If I had wanted to be one of...

Apparently, Michael Bloomberg & MAIG have taken it upon themselves to conduct background checks on folks that post Armslist WTB ads. Source: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/bloomberg-warns-illegal-online-gun-105653059.html I have to wonder how they're conducting these checks. I'm pretty sure...

Over the past few months, I have found myself itching to get a suppressor. I've done some internet research, and asked some of my friends for information. However, if I'm going to jump into a project that's going to cost me a few hundred bucks, plus the stamp, and I'll have to wait a while for...

Talk about turning the tables! Apparently, there was a MWALCG (Man With a Legally-Carried Gun) in a bank. Somebody gets jumpy, reports MWALCG to bank tellers. Bank tellers initiate robbery protocol, and MWALCG is found to be carrying legally. Mr. Jumpy is then charged with breach of the...

Since I started carrying, I have made an effort to run through as many possible interactions involving carrying as I can. Why? Because I like to have a plan. I don't like the thought of having a situation arise in which I have absolutely no clue how I'm going to handle it. Naturally...

Here's an interesting article that I found: http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/06/mayor-michael-bloomberg-busted-using-taxpayer-money-to-fund-mayors-against-illegal-guns/ There are similar articles here: http://johnrlott.blogspot.com/2013/06/is-michael-bloomberg-using-city.html and here...

I dont know enough about tactics and training to really critique what the various parties to this shootout did, but it's certainly educational. This is about a 15 minute video, showing the gunfight from different camera angles. It's not that often that we get more than one camera angle on the...
