There are a lot of gun owners in the Tennessee Valley. And sometimes, they want their weapon to blend in or stand out. That's when they turn to Cole Baker. Baker Hydrographics on Huntsville's South Memorial Parkway looks like any other business on the outside, but inside, there’s a lot of camo. Cole was show us a beaver, bobcat, coyote and deer skull he had done for customers. He then picked up a shotgun stock with a camo pattern and remarked, “This is very effective in our area.” |

Memo to Wall Street investors: Do you want to invest in a sure-fire growth industry? Try high school clay target shooting teams. There were seven schools involved in the Michigan State High School Clay Target League (MSHSCTL) in 2016. This year, there were 23 teams.
In 2016, about 90 students involved. This year, there were over 400.
Cliff Urbanek is the coach of the two-year-old target shooting team at Armada High School. In its first season, the Tigers fielded a team that numbered 24 registered participants.
This year, the Armada squad numbered 58 and that included 20 middle school students. There was no middle school participation in 2016.

It began in April. That's when there appeared on YouTube an NRA recruitment video that raised eyebrows across the political spectrum. Speaking through a jaw clenched tight enough to crack walnuts, with an intensity that suggested a major artery might blow out at any second, conservative pundit Dana Loesch described an America wracked by carnage.

Darrin Fesler held his breath. He concentrated. When he slowly exhaled, his left index finger made the kind of small motion that someone standing nearby could barely discern. The following boom was like a blast of air, and Fesler jolted from the recoil of the .270 caliber hunting rifle he pointed downrange at the Fernan Rod and Gun Club along the Fernan Road five miles north of Coeur d’Alene.

Lots of us ask for 144 character solutions. That is too bad. These faux answers might sooth our conscience, but they seldom work out well. For example, this week I read some crime reports where we disarmed the victims rather than the bad guys.
In theory, gun laws stop armed criminals. In practice, gun laws only disarm law abiding citizens.
That is the difference between fantasy and reality. (380 words at the link) |

He was Canadian minister of Defense in 1960s, ruling over the country’s armed forces during the time of the Cold War — and when he retired he publicly stated that we are not alone in the universe, and some guests from outer space actually live here, on planet Earth. Is this fantasy? Is someone actually watching us? Today we ask the man who says UFOs are a serious business — Paul Hellyer. |

Attorney General Janet T. Mills says a state trooper acted in self-defense when he chased and shot at an armed man last year. Shane Prior, 34, of Cushing, shot his ex-girlfriend in the home of her friend in August 2016. When state police responded, he turned fire on Sergeant Jason Madore, who engaged in the use of deadly force when he shot at Prior. |

If you asked me “to pick a handgun cartridge that seems to be suffering from a Napoleonic complex,” I would, without hesitation, shout out, “the 9mm Luger!” Brain-child of the famous Austrian gun and cartridge designer, Georg Johann Luger, his 9mm namesake — first released in 1902 — has gone on to become the most prolific handgun and submachine gun cartridge on the planet. In fact, in terms of popularity, the 9mm Luger has essentially supplanted all other pistol caliber cartridges in use by law enforcement, military and civilians alike around the world. |

It was standing room only -- figuratively and literally -- on Sunday as the Franklin Revolver and Rifle Association held its semi-annual introduction to shooting event for first-timers. The class filled to capacity in just a couple of days after a notice was published, said Helen Swingle, who coordinated the Sunday class. The class began with an hour of classroom instruction before moving on to the firing range where club members served as mentors, providing their own guns for the first-timers to shoot.

Violence happens too often in America, but we are not as violent as we have been in even the recent past. If we stay serious about doing better, we might someday look like a different country. Even here, in our beautiful, laid-back corner of America, we struggle with violence. Just recently, in less than a week, two people were shot to death near Rainier Playfield in Seattle. And last week, a man was shot during what was described as a gunbattle at Golden Gardens Park. |

Gun-friendly Arizona is trying to avoid deadly encounters between police and people behind the wheel by teaching armed drivers how they should handle themselves when they are pulled over. Arizona, which allows residents to carry weapons without permits, recently changed its rule book for the road in a bid to avoid confrontations such as the one that killed Philando Castile. The Minnesota man, who had a gun permit, was fatally shot during a 2016 traffic stop after telling an officer he was armed.

I voted for Agricultural Commissioner Adam Putnam, but I will not vote for him to be our next governor. The reason? Guns. Putnam's determination to allow guns on our campuses and open carry in our state shows a serious lack of judgment and a blatant disregard for the will of a majority of Floridians. |

We’re getting close to small game season, which will be closely followed by the many and various deer seasons.
To me, that means it’s time to take to the woods for some scouting hikes. Now, we’re not all small game hunters and not everyone hunts deer. But if you want to find out where your particular game will be, give scouting a try.
