Imagine you're living in the very monied suburb of Winnetka.  Where the poors live in million-dollar homes.  A suburb widely thought safe from the ravages of Chicago-style violence.  Why, it's almost like Mayberry in the 21st Century.  Well, it was. If you thought it was exempt from Chicago-style violent crime,…

I just received notice that this event has been cancelled for low ticket sales.  God bless them for trying!  I want to leave the post up for those coming back to see that it will not happen after all.   Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And…

It's Friday night and illegal aliens decided they didn't want to to to bed early so they could get up, go to work and make the world a better place.  Instead, they stayed up late, attacking cops and one another as if Chicago was a third-world penal colony and they…

It's Memorial Day 2024.  Don't forget the reason for the holiday. Here's a great piece from The Federalist I think everyone might enjoy. This Memorial Day, don’t just grill and chill. Reflect on those who died in service of our country and honor their memory. As a combat veteran, I…

This firearm is (obviously) Illinois legal.  It’s basically a carbine-length M1A with a muzzle brake instead of a…

Got some YouTube content to bring you up to speed. Todd Vandermyde did a nice job with this.  Worth watching. https://youtu.be/Aud7vnhM--8 And here's Four Boxes Diner's piece he was referring to. https://youtu.be/7DH6uMhD3eo Long weekend finishing up GunNews.  Cheers.

Thanks to the crypto currency Solana’s meteoric rise earlier this year, I could afford my own copy of the “great gun” GSL selected for our Great Guns 2024 drawing. Why would I buy something with wooden furniture? Admittedly that’s outside of my usual lane. However, after Land o’ Lincoln’s Governor…

Ever wanted to dip your toe into night vision and/or thermal rifle scopes but the price and size/form factor kept you away? Have I got good news for you. Fair disclosure: When crypto was doing well back in late 2020, I had my eye on a thermal scope. Priced at…
