Gun Review

It just so happens that three extremely-representative samples of these guns live in the nightstands of people in my family. My dad (who used to serve warrants as a part-time constable) owns probably the newest of these – the very-mainstream Taurus Model 85. My mom (a former Justice of the Peace who issued the warrants dad served) owns the original-and-even-more-ubiquitous Smith & Wesson Model 36.

You'll never confuse it with the guns that won the West or some macho black gun, but The Little Carbine That Could has the goods to Git 'er Done.

I was introduced to the M-16 rifle under the broiling August sun in a little slice of heaven called Fort Benning, Georgia, almost 30 years ago.  By the time I got my instruction, at...

I managed to sneak off for a little range time yesterday. I had the chance to shoot one of Smith and Wesson's hand cannons: the 500 Magnum Revolver. After hearing (and fearing) a lot...
