March 2008
Each year I wonder how many sportsmen drag a firearm out of the closet in anticipation of the upcoming season, and find a patina of rust on the barrel or receiver, or worse, patches of rust that have actually eaten into the finish and marred it.

February 2008
In researching our book on the confiscation of firearms in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, we heard a number of similar stories, all following the same vein:

How to overcome cross-dominance
August 2007
Brian Arabie, a regular reader, queried the magazine about teaching his young son shooting and firearms safety.
“I have a 5-year-old to whom I’m teaching the basics of marksmanship (on the air rifle, for now.) My son is right handed, but appears to be left-eye dominant. In other words, he is unable to close his left eye and keep his right eye open. He can, however, keep his left eye open and close his right eye.
Why your semi-auto pistol jams
