  • I hate carrying a gun!

    I love the episode you guys did called pro secret: I hate carrying a gun. I am 100% with you. I carry a full size 10 mm 1911 most of the time. The rest of the time I carry a Springfield armory EMP in nine. What I hate most about carrying a gun, is that we need to :(

  • Better late than never…

    Hey, somebody finally said it!

    Wayne LaPierre is a K-Street lobby hack, who, like his lobby-luxury-life ilk bloviate more than they actually do something to meaningfully protect Americans’ Second Amendment rights.

    They ALL therefore HAVE TO GO!

    Agreed, and thank you for having the testicular fortitude to be among the first to publicly say it (aloud, if that wasn’t clearly needed for quite some time now)…
