Where has the Everyday Gunner blog gone!?

Well... "no where" is the answer. I should be getting the post for the 12ga slug test up over the weekend. My efforts have been diverted somewhat by writing for The Truth About Guns! No, I haven't been signed on as a writer... but I did have an article published by them and have sent a couple others along as entries into a writing contest they are running currently.

So if you are missing out on your EDG writing fix (because clearly, I have so many rabid fans...) check out my article here, and keep an eye out for the couple additional articles I sent their way since the first was published. No guarantee that they'll make the cut, but you can always hope : ]

Am I a hypocrite for NOT carrying a portable med-kit?

I'll post the full infographic below, and no I haven't bothered to check the sources, but the point here, and something gun rights people often hit, is that guns are NOT a statistically significant danger in the US. Of course, there are also the many defensive gun uses that never require a shot to be fired (bad guy approaches, normal guy begins to draw, bad guy runs), but for the sake of this discussion, lets stick with the relatively firm death statistics.

The truth of the matter is, I am much more likely to come across a random "unintentional injury" or "vehicular accident" than I am to...

Glock no longer equals perfection!?!

 

 Since 1982, a single name has dominated the striker fired, polymer framed pistol market, and has largely dominated the conceal carry market because of it. That name of course, is Glock.

Now, there have been others, and relatively recently, we've even seen some very successful competitors in that space. Things like the Smith & Wesson M&P pistols and Springfield Armory's XD series have acquitted themselves quite well. My daily carry gun is a Springfield Armory XD-S .45 in fact, so the Everyday Gunner has no bone to pick with the current generation of polymer pistols. However, there has really been little to no true advancement...
