From the old Arsenal of Democracy blog. I often get asked, typically by people who should know better where a combat gun/carry should “shoot”, or rather where they should aim their “gat” at fighting distances to hit their targets.

S&W Model 439
A friend came by over the weekend for a few days of hunting and brought this little auto. I did not have the time on it that I would have liked and didn’t want to use up all his ammo. But I was able to shoot a group from a seated position with a restContinue reading “S&W Model 439”

9-11-2001 23 years Later
Here we are again. 23 years now. Thousands dead on that day, then more from the after affects from the toxins released, suicides that followed and God knows what else. Then of course the 20 year splurge in warmongering that followed. Which of course was the real reason for 9/11 happening. Is there really anyoneContinue reading “9-11-2001 23 years Later”
