Shooting the Star BM
I took some time today to get out and shoot my Star BM pistol. I got it from Classic Firearms, and as of July 3rd, 2018 they still have them in stock for a mere $199! Get one if you can at https://www.classicfirearms.com/star-model-bm-9mm-8rd-original-box-manual

The Right of the People 6/29/18
On this week’s episode we talk about Justice Kennedy’s announced retirement and what it could mean for the 2A community, Maxine waters calls for harassment of White House staff, the Maryland newsroom shooting, Ohio delays Stand Your Ground, and a Goochland county VA mother shoots a pervert who traveled all the way from New Zealand to try to force his way into her home to assault her 14 year old daughter!
Newbold Targets- Setup and Shooting!
As those who follow the Youtube Channel probably already know, I met Hap from Newbold Targets at the USCCA Expo in Louisville. Newbold was kind enough to send me some samples to review and I gotta tell ya- I LIKE THEM! They’re easy to set up and use, and you don’t have the worries associated with steel, like backsplatter, rust, and portability. The projectiles pass right through the Newbold targets so ricochets aren’t an issue. This lets a shooter get as close as they want to the target without fear- something which could be especially helpful for letting a new shooter get confidence-building hits.
All in all, I highly recommend Newbold’s innovative line of targets!

Shelter
The rule of thumb is that you can go three weeks without food, three days without water, and three hours without shelter, so it behooves you to carry some means of making shelter whenever you go out in the woods. Here are a couple videos on just that topic.
HOLY COW I’ve been lazy!
Yep, there’s no other way to describe it- I’ve been lazy. I haven’t posted SHIT here in a long time… too long.
Looks like I have to change that…
BarrelBlok Training Aid
While at the USCCA Expo I found this neat little 2 piece gizmo, which acts as both a chamber insert and barrel flag, as well as a magazine blocker, which together allows you to engage in dry fire training without running the risk of accidentally inserting a live round into the mix. The BarrelBlok training aid can be found here.
CCW Breakaways
At the USCCA Expo on 4/14/18, I ran across a very enthusiastic gentleman with an innovative product. CCW Breakaways sells a line of pants and shorts directed at those of us who like pocket carrying our pistols, and solves a problem inherent in the method (as all good products do):
RIP, Gunny
The world lost a giant personality yesterday. R. Lee Ermey, best know for his portrayal of Gunnery Sgt. Hartman in Full Metal Jacket, went to the Parade Ground in the sky due to complications related to pneumonia. He was 74.
One thing is absolutely certain: The current residents of the Barracks in Heaven had BETTER get their shit squared away ASAP. The Gunny would tolerate no less.
Alan Gottlieb of the Second Amendment Foundation
I met a humble Titan yesterday at the USCCA Concealed Carry Expo, and when I use that phrase to describe the man I’m not engaging in (much) hyperbole. Alan Gottlieb of the Second Amendment Foundation is a genuine, friendly, unassuming, down to earth gentleman when you meet him, but make no mistake: his accomplishments, and those of the organization he founded stand colossal in the world of Second Amendment activism.
