by Nick Klementzos(GSL) - I compete recreationally and you probably should too, especially if you have a carry license. Why? Even if we’re never going to be national champions? We should compete because it tests our skills and gear under a bit of stress. Also because it gives us increased…

Is it a case of a knife-wielding carjacker getting karmic justice or is it just another victim of senseless Chicago violence?  Or maybe it's some of both.  A viral video from last Saturday shows a hapless fellow getting a can of whoop-ass opened up and generously applied.  With love.  NOT…

Kwame Raoul has turned the Illinois Attorney General's office into a circus, but that's a good thing for Illinois gun owners.  Raoul couldn't even get enough counsel to represent the four defendants down in Effingham County this morning.  This was all part of Tom DeVore's lawsuit challenging the Constitutionality of…

And an update…

I’ve been a fan of the five-shot compact revolver for years. They’re small, reliable and potent. They don’t throw brass all over the place and they work especially great from a pocket or a purse, capable of creating a priceless look of surprise from a criminal predator trying to take…

By Mike KeleherOK. Industry Day at the Range is held every year on the Monday before the SHOT Show starts in Las Vegas, NV. I was fortunate enough to get an invite again this year and it remains my favorite SHOT activity. Why is this range day much better than…

Gun grabbers know they’re going to lose in court trying to defend Illinois’ new gun and magazine ban (and registration scheme).  And they are right. And now, just days after enactment, both the anti-gun Democratic operatives with bylines at the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune have prepared the battlespace…
