While some husbands purchase firearms for their wives and nearly beg them to learn to shoot safely and proficiently, as a chapter leader in The Well Armed Woman, I have discovered that it’s not…

The Drill: This week, we are joined in the studio by Jason Speller, Chief Instructor of D.R.A.W School, for another great dry-fire drill. The Emergency Reload Drill is performed when your…

Many of these can be made to look amazingly real by merely spraying the (government-mandated) orange barrel with some black paint. Not even a firearms expert could tell the difference at typical self-defense distances.

Perhaps you have heard me say it before: I’m not a huge fan of gun games. I don’t believe trapshooting mimics pheasant hunting. Sporting clays is better, but still not the same. Rifle golf (if you…

Ok, I hate to admit this, but turning 60 has pushed me into a group of folks I’ll refer to as “The Aging Gun Writers Club.” I never thought I’d see the day… While I knew that joining this club was…
