It’s like holster makers get that concealed carriers are always on the search for a really good, comfortable holster or something… Just because I probably get to try more holsters than you, simply for the fact that I get mine free—doesn’t […]
“Government statistics have shown a general decline in crime rates nationally since the 1990s, but Americans have been loath to accept the concept that crime is decreasing.” I’ve always been fiercely independent (throw your hands up at me.)

After only one year as president of the NRA, retired U.S. Marine Lieutenant […]
On July 1, 2019, Californians will no longer have the freedom to buy ammo without infringement. On November 8, 2016, Californias voted “yes” to Proposition 63, requiring background checks and face-to-face purchases of ammunition. Supporters of the law say that being able to purchase ammo freely is a legal “loophole.” Hannah Shearer, Giffords Law Center […]
When asked about suppressors on June 3, 2019, President Trump said, “I don’t like them at all.” (Whitehouse.gov) On President Trump’s direction, after a gunman opened fire on the crowd at a country music festival held in Las Vegas in October 2018, the DOJ banned bump stocks.

Revealed at SHOT Show 2019, the Flux Defense GLOCK brace caused quite a stir. It is a stabilizing brace made for GLOCK with automatic deployment installed on the back of the pistol. Was it legal?
