Cam and Company at 2013 SHOT Show

By Richard on February 5, 2013 No Comments

Cam and Company Oliver North

Cam and Company, the daily pro-gun radio show sponsored by the NRA and heard on Sirius XM Patriot, was broadcasting from the 2013 SHOT Show.  When I stopped by, host Cam Edwards was interviewing Lt. Col. Oliver North.

I was surprised how accessible the radio show was to people just walking by.  Anyone could have walked up and interferred with the program, pulled some wires or otherwise made an ass of themselves.  But there were no problems.  Why? Because that’s the kind of people gun owners are:  polite and respectful.  We have access to firearms, yet we don’t kill anyone except in defense of our families and we don’t screw with people when they are working.

Major Anti-Gun Moves Made & More Coming

By Richard on January 15, 2013 2 Comments

I hate to disrupt coverage of the 2013 SHOT Show, but our freedoms are in peril.  It is expected that later today, anti-gun Vice President Joe Biden will announce the gun control measures the administration will take and additional ones they will push for in Congress.

This comes on the heels of President Obama stating in a press conference yesterday that he plans on issuing executive orders to curtail gun rights.  In fact, there are 19 different suggestions for new gun control executive orders from Biden’s task force.

Also happening right now:  New York state is passing the most draconian gun laws ever seen in the USA.  That governor is pushing legislation through with remarkable ease.  Among the new restrictions:  new definitions of “assault weapons,”  background checks on ammunition purchases, makes owning a magazine with a capacity of more than seven rounds a criminal offense, outlaws “pre-94″ magazines, alerts the government to “high volume” ammunition purchasers and much more.

Don’t think the President can’t (or won’t) do it at the national level as well.

News and Reviews Return on January 1

By Richard on December 29, 2012 2 Comments

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas season.  We’ve been resting a bit, and getting ready for all of the events coming in January.  On the upside, we have the 2013 SHOT Show and all of the new guns and gear that comes with it.  We will be there getting all of the information for you.

On the downside, we will be in the fight of our lifetimes for our rights to self-defense as codified in the Second Amendment.  Among the proposed legislation is registration of all AR, AK and other semi-automatic firearms.  Make no mistake, there will be Republicans and Democrats pushing for these freedom-limiting laws.

If you have not done so already, join the NRA plus one of these other organizations:

  • Second Amendment Foundation

  • Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership
  • Gun Owners of America

  • Your state’s gun rights organizations such as Buckeye Firearms Association, Virginia Citizens Defense League, CalGuns, Florida Carry and Georgia Packing.  Google your state if it is one of the many I did not specifically list.

Also, go to your elected representatives offices and let them know what you think.  A letter is nice, a phone call is ok, and e-mail is almost worthless – showing up and looking them in the eye, on the other hand, can make an impact.  Be polite, but firm, in your insistance that they keep their hands off our rights and property.

Lots more coming next week!

Gun Culture 2.0

By Richard on September 28, 2012 1 Comments

Michael Bane introduced me to the idea of “Gun Culture 2.0,” and I recently offered my views on the changing face of the gun culture in an article at Human Events.

Cam Edwards on the Cam & Company radio show Wednesday night to talk about my views on the changing gun culture.  Essentially, I stated that the latest generation of gun owners is a much more diverse crowd and that those of us in the older, or more traditional, gun culture should be as welcoming as possible.

NRA American Warrior #8

By Richard on May 31, 2012 No Comments

American WarriorIssue #8 of the American Warrior magazine is out now.  You can view it here (completely free).  This month’s issue has a very moving piece on wounded vets – the photography is amazing.

Also, make sure you get over to the NRA’s Life Of Duty network and catch all of the latest videos, read back issues of American Warrior and sign up for updates.  As I have said in the past, the videos produced by these folks are amazing.  Well told stories and exceptional production quality.

A Salute to Our Troops

By Richard on May 2, 2012 1 Comments

Bin Laden’s dead and gone, but the men and women who fight for us are still in harm’s way.  I ask that you remember them in your prayers and offer support in any way you can for their families back home.

NRA’s Life of Duty put together this video of appreciation for their service.  If you don’t already, make sure you check out their site.  Life of Duty is putting together some amazing videos and an incredible online magazine.

Smith & Wesson Shield – More Information

By Richard on March 15, 2012 1 Comments

Reading through the investor information from Smith & Wesson yielded additional information about the Shield pistol due out next month.  There is a lot of speculation about the handgun, but it looks like it will be a new M&P series pistol.

Smith Wesson Shield

In a slide labeled ”New Models for the M&P Platform,” Smith & Wesson states they will launch an “exciting new handgun” in April.  This is the only specific gun introduction mentioned, and the date coincides with the details we have seen on the Shield so far.
