With school we got down to learning the three RRR’s. Some think this refers to Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, others think it just refers to the education children will be exposed to, but probably most fitting is the three RRR’s refers to the basic precepts of any subject matter. I like the latter. So for those of us into the shooting sports we could say the three RRR’s really should be the three AAA’s, Aiming, Accuracy, and Ammo!

◾Priority One will always come before Priority Two, Three, Four, Five, etc.. Students do not come to my class to get shot, nor do they come to learn habits or techniques that will get them hurt/shot subsequent to the class, nor do they come to learn habits or techniques half-way which have the potential to get them hurt/shot if they don’t learn and understand the full topic. For the rest of this short article we will refer to the Priority One Safety tenant as “The Prime Directive.” Star Trek fans might chuckle at the name.

Americans, most often informed by the two major political parties and the main stream media, fail to agree on any acceptable and meaningful change. Or if change is needed at all. Yet, I’ve never talked to a gun owner who didn’t hope for some change albeit gun control or adding privileges like the ever popular SHARE (suppressor) bill or National Reciprocity. We yell and scream at each other, argue over the most trivial things, and often most of these problems can be helped by the ability to understand each other. So when I see "the National Firearms Act of 1986" (when reading a national news article) I know this writer doesn't understand what he/she is writing about.. so I just stop. It's not worth reading further. This happens when 70%+ of our politicians open their mouths.

Configuring an AR is very much personal preference. The more experience you have, the better you'll be able to choose your configuration. Many depend on factory pre-built rifles which is okay, though I often find them lacking in different ways, and others go to high end production rifles like the Larue Costa Edition and these aren't bad choices, though my experience shows that even these higher end rifles are more products of economy than perfection. I prefer perfection when possible so I continue to build my own carbines/rifles in hope that someday I'll find it.

In Illinois it’s common practice for the defense, prosecution, or both to recognize the licensee’s concealed carry instructor as an expert witness. We could be asked basic questions such as: Did you pay attention in class, were you awake or falling asleep, did you ask good questions, were you argumentative, did you demonstrate a knowledge of the law in question, whatever the defense or prosecution thinks may benefit their case may surface and be asked. Your instructor might be asked how they taught a certain area, say the 21 foot rule. Your instructor should be able to step in front of a judge and jury, present a professional look and demeanor, and basically teach the jury the 21 foot rule so they understand it as you the student understood it, so they can see why you did what you ultimately did.

The CM2000 or maybe the CM500 is the media separator you want.. And if you need something to prop up the corner of your house this is the one you want. A night and day no doubt in my mind comparison. If you simply want the best media separator in the home reloading business, get the Dillon CM500 or CM2000.

We like to think we're giving you the best experience possible. We still put the same importance on critiquing each other, and we still realize we have much to learn and room to improve. But we're more comfortable and know we're giving students a great value and not wasting their time.

But the most important question we can face is about training. How do we use this weapon for best effect? How to use it inside our home when loved ones are a thin wall away? How do we use it if we’re caught up in a armed robbery? What if we’re car-jacked. Home invasions are on the rise, does everyone in your home know their role and are they well trained to perform that role?

Today was special. I received an email the afternoon before letting me know my long awaited Glock G43 was in and waiting for me pick up. The G43 is Glock's answer to the small single stack 9mm market and Glock fans the world over have been waiting for with more than a little patience.

This article in a direct response to a really good student who is struggling with her first concealed carry purchase. She’s sharp enough to just not copy what I or others do.. and instead to think this out for herself while still asking really good questions. Feel free to offer “Sarah” your opinion in the comments section, ESPECIALLY if different from my own. I hope you find this useful. Steve Sarah – I ran across this test today while going through my normal reading.. It’s a Guns and Ammo test comparing 10 of the most popular single stack 9mm pistols. Keep in mind, this article is a teaser so you’ll go out and buy their actual magazine, but there’s still a lot there. The most valuable part of this test is the video. Watch it through to the end. In my mind, which is based on my experience, I prioritize a sub-compact carry gun in this order: a) The cartridge must absolutely be on the FBI’s lis ...
