... "One of the reasons I like carrying a gun: it encourages me to scan my world for trouble. I like being alert. As the son of a Holocaust survivor, I’m predisposed to it. By the same token, scanning for trouble forces me to value the times when trouble’s nowhere to be found. I reckon you can’t relax if you’ve never really been scared. Make that wary."
"More than that, carrying a gun is a constant reminder of my responsibilities. It reminds me that no matter how I feel about myself, no matter what I’m going through, I have an obligation to protect innocent life. I don’t know why. I just do. It’s a duty that applies to the people I love. And the people I don’t love. And people I used to love." ... |

"Regular readers will know that I most often write about the politics of the Second Amendment and Gun Control. While that is what I am most well known for, I am not 'one dimensional' by any stretch. I am a true 'Student of the Gun' [hat tip Paul Markel] as it were, or, in even broader terms, a student of the art of combat, with or without a firearm."
"I have worn out copies of 'The Art of War ( tiny.cc/49plmx )' by Sun Tzu. My personal library includes most of the most common tomes on the subject, including Von Clausewitz and his work on the philosophy of warfare entitled 'On War ( tiny.cc/djqlmx )' as well as both 'On Combat ' and 'On Killing' by noted expert Lt Col Dave Grossman." ... |

"And yet, they champion it still."
"There is a smug naivete in the minds of gun control supporters, combined with a basic pagan fervor."
"One one hand, they are the most superstitious of cargo cults, wedded firmly to the animist idea that an inanimate object ... can possess and take over an otherwise sane and rational human being and turn them into a homicidal savage. If you listen to them, or watch them recoil in horror at the mere sight of a firearm, it is clear that they think that the firearm itself—not the intention or skill of the individual possessing it—is the problem." ... |

"What to do with your heater while seeing a man about a dog – or more critically, dropping a deuce – has vexed gun owners since elimination technology progressed from the outhouse to indoor plumbing. Public facility stalls that don’t extend to the floor tend to cause gun owners do stoopid things in order to keep their pistols on the down low. And the law of averages being what they are, the more people handle their firearms, the greater the chances of a negligent discharge. From his commentary above, Colion Noir apparently views the lack of good urinal and stall options as a nefarious hoplophobic conspiracy . . ." ... |

The mechanics are exquisite yet simple, it’s sturdy, but elegant and the accuracy fits the stereotype of everything made in the Alps republic. Thankfully, one thing about the rifle that’s not Swiss is the price. I paid 150CHF for my 1941 K31 and a quick on-line check confirmed that the US price is pretty much the same making it a super-affordable bolt action . . ." ... |

"Hearing those shots, Shaun reacted,'I took off, grabbed my gun and got back, and he saw me thorugh the window. Shot one more time, and that’s when I shot through the window, and he dropped.'" |

"When a gunman attempted to murder Rep. Gabriel Giffords in January 2011, the country was shocked by what was widely interpreted as an act that symbolized the incivility that had transformed American politics. That assumption, which was primarily aimed at undermining the Tea Party movement that had swept the midterm elections months before in the 2010 midterms, was soon debunked when we learned the shooter was an apolitical madman. But liberals have never ceased yapping about the implications of their opponents’ alleged meanness. Now it turns out the person who is doing the most to give the lie to this assertion is Ms. Giffords." ... |

"What I find disconcerting is that the 82,000 students at ASU have no means to protect themselves under the Second Amendment while on campus. They are essentially deprived of that right while on campus."
