NRA Convention

I came across Ron Cowan relaxing in the main exhibitor's hall at the NRAAM. Ron is an older gentleman, soft spoken with an easy manner.  He has but one arm. "I lost it in...

Speaker Gingrich was spot-on when he said that the Second Amendment protects a God-given right. In support of this, he wants to present the United Nations with a treaty which would recognize the individual...

It's good that new(ish) Brady Campaign prez Dan Gross is keeping things elevated. He clearly looks at the NRA's confab in St. Louis and sees a target rich environment. So to speak. The willingness...

Unfortunately I honestly can not remember the girls' names, nor what booth they were at. I guess I was distracted . . .

Blackhawk is here, and apparently they've heard about my issues with their holsters. So much so that they tried (rather unsuccessfully) for a good 15 minutes to try and convince me that the SERPA...

  You meet the most interesting people at the NRA Annual Meeting.  My lovely and gracious wife was hanging out and ran into Wayne Burd, a 95 year old NRA Life Member. He's been a...
