Irresponsible Gun Owner of the Day: Pot-Smoking Shotgunner

As a younger man, I was no stranger to the evil weed. I reckon I’ve done everything high that I’ve done “straight”: eat, sleep, fornicate, study for exams, etc. I might have done all of them at the same time. Who remembers? But I’ve never smoked a bone and then fired a gun. While dope…

How NOT to Teach Your Wife About Handguns

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ13IdvRBkU Not sure how much you need to say about a video like this, but I feel compelled to make the following observations… I got a bad feelin’ about this whole thing, Sundance… NEWSFLASH! Many people have a hard time with loud noises and grew up without any connection to firearms. These types are frequently…

Choosing a Handgun, Part VII: The Sum of All Fears

Overwhelmed yet? Choosing the right handgun is not a slam-dunk, as we’ve seen over the past six articles. And in the interest of making sure you’re armed with the best information, let’s recap what we’ve learned, and see if we can make sense of it for you. We’ll start from the premise that you are…

Choosing a Handgun, Part VI: Stopping Power

Before I started down the road of responsible gun ownership, my perceptions about guns were shaped by Hollywood. Like most people that accept what they see on TV or sliver screen as gospel, I thought that guns were guns. You chose one based on the “cool factor” (.50 cal Desert Eagle), a desire to emulate…

Choosing a Handgun, Part V: Ammo

I love metaphors. One of my faves: “come back when you’ve got bullets in your gun.” It’s used when arguing with someone who’s a little light on the facts. Like most metaphors, this one resonates with an essential truth. In pyria veritas, as it were. Come to think of it, a gun without bullets is a…

Choosing a Handgun, Part IV: Practical Practice

Buying a handgun for self defense is like a dog chasing a car. Unless the dog knows what to do with it once he’s got it, it’s not gonna do him a lot of good. Let’s assume that you’re a responsible gun owner. You’ve taken some credible classes, gone to the range and passed your…

Bring a Knife to A Gunfight

There’s an old saying in the self-defense biz: “Never bring a knife to a gunfight.” That’s good advice—if it’s an ‘either/or’ question. It isn’t. Carrying a tactical knife with you—even when you’re carrying a concealed handgun—is not only a good idea, but it’s one that can save your life. When you undergo self-defense training (as…

Choosing a Handgun, Part III: Shooting from the Hip. Or Not.

“Hands up!” Let’s be honest. At least once in your adult life, you’ve fantasized about saying those words (or words like them) as a cowboy/private detective/action hero to save the day in your own, imaginary showdown with a bad guy. Once you get serious about gun ownership, you quickly realize that this sort of confrontation…

Choosing a Handgun, Part II: Form Follows Function

There’s an old saying in the gun world: the best gun is the one you have. That’s nonsense. Well, kind of. Plenty of new handgun owners buy an overly powerful, over-large or ill-fitting handgun. They fire it a few times, get scared or hurt by the recoil and shelve the piece. To paraphrase one of…

Choosing a Handgun, Part I: Revolver vs. Semi-Auto

So you’ve decided to join the millions of Americans who own a handgun. You’ve received some instruction, gone to the range to practice with someone else’s weapons, and signed up for your concealed handgun license tests. Yes? Now, choosing which handgun to buy is a personal decision. If anybody tells you something along the lines…
