This week I want to honor a friend and announce a move. Congratulations to Rick Ector on his recent appointment to the NRA Board of Directors.  I personally know how much this means to him and know he will do the best he can as a representative of firearms trainers, counselors, and gun rights activist.  The guy has been focused and determined to save the lives of people in his home state of Michigan, especially the cities and women. He has single handedly created a space for women of color to get exposed and familiar with firearms in an untraditional environment.  As a gun right ..read more

Conversation with a Comedian   As I contemplated my life this week, I ran into a comedian named Clay Miles.  Although our conversation had nothing to do with guns and the Second Amendment it was good.  I wanted to learn about him and comedy.

Sharing some commentary and seeking your thoughts on what I said.  Sharing what it takes to get started as a gun owner in Maryland and giving kudos to the Virginia Citizens Defense League, VCDL.org for leading as a gun rights organization. https://vcdl.org/mpage/VCDLLegUpd012723 The state of Maryland isn’t quite up to the level of New York or California when it comes to gun control, but it ain’t for lack of trying. Maryland has tons of gun control laws on the books, and none of them have made Baltimore any safer, but that won’t stop them from doing more. https://mdsp.maryland.gov/Organiza ..read more

Gun ownership requires responsibility.  There is more mental energy required than just owning a gun and shooting it recreationally. (that is what I mean by Shooting is Mental) Training will save you money and save your life.  Seek some before you buy and you’ll thank me.

Shooting is mental because you have to navigate fact from fiction, and hype from reality. You have to make some judgement calls. You h ..read more
