Changing attitudes in Chicago: 150 First-Timers give shooting a try

12:05am Wednesday, February 18, 2009
In an effort to help educate the Chicago-area public about gun ownership, shooting and firearm safety, three ranges around the Windy City teamed up with the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) to hold a total of nine First Shots seminars -- all of them filled to capacity. About 150 people took their First Shots, including husbands and wives, mothers and daughters, members of the media,...

Proper trigger management

12:05am Tuesday, February 17, 2009
By Jim Irvine Every spring baseball players arrive at spring training and practice the basics of their game. If the best players in the game take time to review the basics, it stands to reason that shooters should review our basics occasionally too. One of the NRA safety rules is, "Always keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire." Always is a powerful word. Following this rule...

Firearms transport: Lessons learned after major roll-over accident

12:10am Tuesday, February 10, 2009
Larry S. Moore Any discussion of traveling with firearms usually involves the legal transportation of firearms and the duty of the CHL holder to inform law enforcement if the holder is carrying. Some discussion centers on the best gun cases or range bags for use. Like most CHL holders, target shooters and hunters, I suspect, I gave little consideration to how my firearms were secured in a vehicle...

Interpreting the Second Amendment

12:05am Friday, February 06, 2009
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. By Jeff Knox It has been famously said and often repeated that the Constitution means what the Supreme Court says it means. While this statement is generally true, it is incomplete. Regardless of what the Supreme Court says, the Constitution ultimately...

By Chad D. Baus In the past month, no less than four Ohio children, aged eleven, ten, eight and four, have injured or killed people with firearms. Two of the victims, aged eight and two, were shot by their respective siblings. One of the victims, shot by his eleven year-old neighbor, was seven. Three of the victims died of their injuries. In all but one case (wherein a four year-old boy shot his...

An Ohioan survives post-Heller Chicago

12:05am Tuesday, February 03, 2009
By Gerard Valentino As a victim of the recession and massive lay-offs that followed, I lost my job and was forced to fly to Chicago for a job fair this past weekend. It was my first trip to Chicago (my hometown) in quite some time, making me wonder how Chicagoland had prepared for the expected mayhem after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Second Amendment is an individual right. The reaction of...

Op-Ed: A Theology of Hunting - Why God Loves Hunting & Hunters

12:05am Tuesday, January 27, 2009
By Doug Giles I understand it when the idolatrous PETA people who worship jackrabbits over Jesus get their panties in a wad over hunting. I expect it, I like it and—truth be told—I'd really miss it if they did not pop a blood vein in their forehead when smacked with the facts. However, lately I've been getting hate mail and weird looks from "Christians" who ardently believe that God, Jesus, Moses...
