FIREARMS & MARKSMANSHIP

Let me just come right out and say it. I own and use firearms. While I don’t like to advertise this fact, I have decided not to hide it either. These pages will discuss both the recreational and political aspects of firearms ownership. Others have already provided more and better information on these topics than I could ever hope to give, but I can share my experiences, observations, and opinions as a gun owner who doesn’t match the usual stereotypes.

Though training has the greatest bearing on a shooter’s effectiveness in most situations, firearms enthusiasts still spend an inordinate amount of time discussing their gear. Selecting the right tool for the right job is important, but it can also be a lot of fun.
Thoughts & Ideas
