Celebrating Independence

"The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and...

Op-Ed: Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc - Air Conditioners Cause Rapes

by Chuck Michel
3:00pm Thursday, February 20, 2014
I was reminded of an old criminologists' inside joke when recent news reports announced that global warming will lead to higher crime rates (which is odd since crime in America has been in a two decade decline while global temperatures have crept upwards). Long ago someone noticed that more rapes occurred during the summer months, and also noticed people ran their air conditioners during the...

Family Values: Adolfo's first trip to the range with father and older brother

by Antonio Hernandez, Esq.
3:00pm Tuesday, February 11, 2014
As a parent I am continuously amazed on how my young children remind me of what's really important in life. I can still recall the first time my father and my grandfather took me shooting at the family farm. To this day I can recall every single detail of my father's lessons on gun safety, the responsibility of handling a loaded firearm and basic shooting techniques. As I recall that day, it...

BOOK REVIEW: American Gun - A History of the U.S. in Ten Firearms

by Chad D. Baus
7:00am Thursday, February 06, 2014
When it comes to my experience with guns, I seem to do things in the reverse of many people. I didn't grow up around guns, but became familiar with them as a young adult. While many become familiar with firearms through hunting, my own experience started with a desire for self-protection. Which, of course, means that while many begin shooting long-guns and eventually get around to handguns, I...

by Jim Freeman
3:00pm Monday, February 03, 2014
Editor's Note: The following article was published at MyDailySentinel.com . Republished with permission of the author. As a volunteer hunter education instructor here in Ohio since the mid 1990's, I have closely watched the news surrounding the unresolved shooting of Larry Bradley, 45, of Bidwell on the opening day of this past Ohio's deer gun season, apparently by another deer hunter who has not...

Op-Ed: Defining the Debate – Active Shooters and Mass Shootings

by C. D. Michel
3:00pm Thursday, January 30, 2014
"Mass public shootings are on the rise!" "Mass public shootings are not rising!" Oddly enough, both statements are correct, and misused by the gun control lobby to confuse and alarm the public.

Across the nation there have been dozens of...
