The Clinton Gun Ban is no longer law. Today, I can legally purchase and own 15-round magazines for my two guns. And, honestly, that's about the only change as far as I'm concerned. Of course, Kerry attempted to seize the moment to make some kind of point, but ended up falling flat on his face. […]

According to this story from the Belfast Telegraph, a man who stabbed an intruder/burglar in self defense may be prosecuted for assault. I'm glad to know that, in the United States, self defense is a right (and a law).

The world has seen it time and time again: taking away the gun rights of the general population increases violent crime rates. Why? Because criminals will always have guns, and if they know the general population is unarmed, well, then that just makes it all easier: Australians spent at least half a billion dollars to […]

I don't care for Cleveland, and I don't care for The Cleveland Plain Dealer: I was wondering if you would make a posting commenting on the fact that the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper published a list of all the people with Concealed Handgun Licenses in Northeast Ohio… In Ohio only the media has access to […]

Rob and I went shooting today. We played a game he called "cricket" wherein you have anywhere from 4 to 10 targets, and you have to make them in order to continue on to the next one. Of course, if you think you've made one you can move on, but if you end up being […]

Here is a picture that may shock you (and not because of the glass of straight up amaretto in the background): What you see here are three bullets (and their casings). From the right, we have a CCI .22 LR Mini-Mag, used in my Ruger Mark II semiautomatic handgun with an UltraDot red dot scope. […]

Completely having failed to find any inspirational shooting range websites (or bowling alley sites, which I figured would be similar in content and presentation), I've struck out on my own and created a pair of mockups for the Palm Beach Shooting Center. A plain text Web site would be better than their existing one, so, […]

Snippets from Florida's "Justifiable Use of Force" laws: 776.06 Deadly force.-- (1) The term "deadly force" means force that is likely to cause death or great bodily harm and includes, but is not limited to: (a) The firing of a firearm in the direction of the person to be arrested, even though no intent exists […]

Yesterday, I attended a class required for licensure by the state of Florida for a CCW (Concealed/Carry Weapons) permit. Though I do not plan to carry my gun at any time (outside of standard conveyance allowances), I wanted to take the class to learn more about the laws surrounding firearms in Florida. Why else? To […]

I seem to have misplaced my targets from day three, so here we move on to day four. Misses tend to be down and to the left. Occasionally I'll catch myself worrying about the down and left, or reacting to a flinch, and I'll get a flier up and to the right. I've even got […]

Many people have commented on the few gun posts I've made on this blog, and the responses have shown that this is one of the hotter topics of debate in the world today. That in mind, I'm tempted to set up a blog with six to ten authors, divided in half on the issues of […]

I've never before visited kimdutoit.com but today while investigating Florida's concealed weapons permit requirements, I stumbled onto it. Kim's site is one of those that make some squeal with joy that someone has the balls to be so blatantly pro-gun and make another bunch squeal in agony that someone, heaven forbid, is exercising the gift […]

Well, I've improved since the first time I went shooting. José and I went to the Palm Beach Shooting Center (don't go there unless you wish to see a really bad site). We took two to three hours and each fired through 100 rounds, José with his rented Beretta and I with my CZ 75 […]

Kati and I went shooting today. I was a bit suspicious that Miss Boca Fashion Plate could hold her own, but she performed rather well. Kati's shots are from 10-15 feet, mine are at about 30-35. She didn't fire less rounds: she just missed the paper a bit more frequently. 🙂 To those who think […]

I visited the Delray Shooting Center today to look at handguns. I had a price range in mind: $400-$700, and I knew what I liked: a grip-heavy black or silver non-composite name brand 9mm. I ended up going with the CZ 75 B. The shop owner kept calling it a Beretta, though I'm not certain […]
