Boxer primer is the most popular primer style in the United States, due to its ease of reloading – also making it the primary choice among military and civilian ammo manufactuers. Created by Edward Boxer, this popular ammo was patented in England in 1866 and in the U.S. in 1869.
The weapon's firing pin strikes the base of the primer cup, which causes the primer mixture to be crushed against the anvil. This creates a flash that goes through the flash hole, igniting the powder in the cartridge. |

After what was to many gun-rights supporters a prolonged hiatus, a case squarely involving the scope of the Second Amendment is back before the U.S. Supreme Court. On April 26, the Court granted cert in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. Brought by NRA’s New York state affiliate, with NRA’s backing, the case provides the Court with the opportunity to affirm that the Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms for self-defense outside the home. Given some of the lower federal courts’ intransigence in the wake of D.C. v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago, in which the Court recognized that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms, the stakes in NYSRPA v. Bruen couldn’t be higher. |

The Supreme Court Monday declined to take a challenge to a Wisconsin law banning state residents who have been convicted of felonies – including non-violent crimes – from owning handguns for the rest of their lives. Leevan Roundtree challenged his conviction after police found a revolver and bullets in his home and charged him in 2015 with possessing a firearm despite a prior felony conviction. Twelve years earlier Roundtree pleaded guilty to failure to pay child support for more than four months, a felony in Wisconsin. |

The U.S. Supreme Court convened Monday amid a swirl of controversy as the justices, with what many believe is a clear conservative majority, look at cases challenging abortion, religion and gun rights, the latter being the long-awaited case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.
As noted by the Associated Press, this is the first time in 18 months the court will be together in the courtroom, though Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh will be out of the room after having been diagnosed with COVID-19. The AP said he will participate remotely from his home during oral arguments this week. |

Not long ago, firearm instructor Karl Rehn of KR Training and I discussed why some people attend defensive firearm classes for little reason beyond recreation. In addition to having taught thousands of students, Karl’s an engineer, thus analytical by nature, and he hit the nail on the head. He said people do what they want or need to do, and while many gun owners want to shoot guns for fun, most don’t think they’ll need to defend themselves, so they don’t take defensive training seriously.

In the hands of a competent practitioner, a tactical pen can be used to distract, deter, delay and even stop a violent physical assault. Unlike your firearm or a folding knife, it is a low-profile, personal-safety option for your toolkit that can be used to help mitigate an active threat. |

Also new on the APX A1 is a trigger that is described as shorter and lighter trigger than its predecessors whose "enhanced ergonomic and sensory experience consists of a clean break with quick reset, aiding with consistent shot placement and ease of use." Now that's how you write copy! |

A New York man kept an “arsenal” of so-called “ghost guns” and other firearms, as well as thousands of rounds of ammunition and high-capacity magazines, at his Brooklyn home and a storage facility, federal authorities said Monday. Gary Brown is set to be sentenced in his federal gun case on Oct. 12 after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of the weapons in April, the feds said in a sentencing memo filed in Brooklyn federal court.
