Some Talk About Glock
I’ve written before about how much I love my Glock 42. It conceals easily, it fits my hand well, and it shoots like a Glock. I’ve shot it in 2 BUG matches so far, and I recently, in a moment of insanity, signed up for […]
Confidence Crushers
Ladies, I’m going to ask a favor of you. After you read this, if it rings true for you, would you please pass it on to your significant other, brothers, and other male shooting friends? Because I think it needs to be said. I run […]
July 4th Queens and Skunks
How did you celebrate Independence Day? Personally, I started it off by exercising my Second Amendment rights at the gun club. And I ended it by packing an insulated bag and taking a grilled burger and some sides to a relative in the hospital. The […]
Getting Right in My Mind
I’ve been home from Gunsite for two weeks now, and I am STILL processing information. I’m not sure if that means that I am obsessive, or just thorough. Actually, don’t tell me – I kinda don’t want to know – LOL! As I learned that […]
My Gunsite Experience
You may recall my recent post, here outlining my struggle with whether or not to carry a concealed firearm on a regular basis, despite having a permit for several years. You may have also read here the excellent response and encouragement I received from Kathy […]

Mother’s Day MOMent
As I was doing laundry yesterday, I found a round of .223 ammo that had gone through the washer and dryer in my pants pocket. Not being one to waste ammo unneccesarily, I texted a friend to make sure the round would still be good, […]
Bitten by the BUG!
I shot in my first BUG match this past weekend, and I had so much fun, that I thought I should write about it. For those who don’t know, BUG stands for Back-up Gun. This is a term that is usually applied to the small […]
To Carry, or Not To Carry. That is the Question
My day off this week found me erranding, of all places, to the county sheriff’s office to renew my concealed carry permit. I’m glad I called first, because it turns out that the office had moved since the last time I was there five years […]
