    Chicago asks gangs to not shoot 9am-9pm

    Oh thank God they came up with that idea, I feel safer already. That combined with tearing down 100+ year old statues and renaming Lake Shore Drive should have things cleaned up in no time. Regardless I’m not setting foot in Chicago City limits ever again if I can help it and grew up in...

    The “Assault Rifle” Conundrum

    Might I suggest not using the term “assault fork” in Illinois or Governor jelly belly will ban them and have us all using sporks.

    Illinois Ruling… A sign of things to come?

    I hope SCOTUS rips them a new one but I fear they’re not going to do anything other than send it back to the state again. I still don’t understand how they ignore previous cases like Heller and Bruen and it still flies past state Supreme Court.

    Potent Potables (aka What’s your poison?)

    Due to a recent bootlegging/wedding trip up behind the cheddar curtain I’m working through a case of New Glarus beer (I hate that we can’t get it in Illinois) and my normal staple of Blue Moon or Hacker Pschorr. My wife drinks the darker “manly” beers and more often than not when we’re out the...

    How to Choose the Right Self-Defense Gun

    The perfect self defense gun is what you’re comfortable with, what works reliably for you and what you shoot well. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Hi-Point or a Staccato as long as it shoots, feeds and you’re accurate with it. That being said my “bump in the night” guns all have lights, my EDC...

    Concealed Carry Corner: What To Do Around Police

    Every police officer and state trooper I know (which is a lot) tells me that if I’m pulled over to hand over my CCL and drivers license with the CCL on top and wait for the officer to respond. The only time there will be problem is if I don’t get my credentials out before the officer is at my...

    Shotguns and Heat Shields in 2023

    Heat shields are not just decoration they make the weapon more deadly and turns it into a fully semiautomatic howitzer. Ask any Illinois politician and they’ll tell you that’s why you can’t have a heat shield/handguard on a shotgun.

    Best Bullet Weight in 9mm for EDC

    I have 150 or so rounds of 115gr “covid stock” (aka the only stuff I could find) left that my P30SK, VP9 and P07 had zero problems with and after that’s gone it’s all 124gr. In fact the only pistol I have that had an issue with 115 was my stock 9mm Garrison but a recoil spring change fixed that.

    Best Bullet Weight in 9mm for EDC

    Thank you for that. I’ve read the manual over and over and never saw anything about it for the SK variant.

    Best Bullet Weight in 9mm for EDC

    I wouldn’t know what the best is if you handed it to me and they said “The Best” on the side of each round. I practice with 124gr and my defensive rounds are 124gr because they’re easier to find than 147 or +P and I’m not so sure my P30SK is recommended for them (I couldn’t find anything in...

    Illinois Registration is Coming Soon

    I think they’ll get the same paltry results that the alphabet boys got with pistol brace registration especially considering that they essentially want all modern firearms registered since they “check the boxes”.

    Cz sp01

    Love me some Czechnology! I was about to buy a SP01 but then the Illinois AWB hit and I changed my mind and got into 1911’s instead because the SP01 holds too many rounds (stupid politicians). I’ve got a P07 with well over 1,000 rounds through it and not a single hiccup due to the gun and a...

    Hearing Protection Gear

    Indoor; Cheap foam or silicone plugs with Howard Leight Impact Sport muffs over those if I’m shooting a rifle with a brake. Recently I’ve been using just Axil GS Extreme electronic plugs and if it gets too noisy I’ll throw the muffs over those as well but I’ll occasionally get a little...

    You’ll need an F-16

    There is a cognitive/psychological test as well as a physical evaluation, the problem is it’s not even close to being objective. Any psychologist worth their degree can see he has a mental decline and either has dementia or Alzheimer’s and there have been a lot of experts to come out and say...

    You’ll need an F-16

    That’s a great argument. “If you don’t do what we say and try to overthrow the oligarchs we’ll order the military to attack civilians.” Which is THE ENTIRE REASON FOR THE 2ND AMENDMENT!!

    Show all your “other” guns and discussions.

    Picked up a two tone Kimber Custom 2 and added some personal touches. Stan Chen magwell, extended slide stop and LOK ridgeback grips. I loved the red wood grips but my sweaty hands and wood don’t get along very well.

    New Yorkers Must Pass A Mental Health Exam Before Purchasing A Gun!

    According to my psych evaluation I’m cut out for not much more than being a cop or military service…….I’m not either of those because I decided to change my mind last minute when I went for a final interview for a police department. I now climb telephone poles for a living and have a psychology...

    Newsom Unveils 28th Amendment to Ban ‘Assault Weapons’, Criminalize Private Transfers, And More

    The purpose of the 2nd amendment is to deny the government the ability to take our arms so we may fight against a tyrannical government. What Newsom in California and Pritzker in Illinois are doing is purely tyrannical. If they’re pulling this garbage while we’re armed imagine the nefarious...
