Between the rifle and the pistol, I will generally spend more training time on the pistol. There are a couple reasons for this…
1) All things being equal, it takes more skill to be consistently accurate with a pistol than with a rifle – the rifle having the benefit of a longer sight radius (or optics) and the inherent stability that comes with a stocked firearm. (Not to mention the weight-to-trigger pull ratio disparity with a pistol). Continue reading “Improve Your Pistolcraft…”
Washington state legislator Rep. Matt Shea (R) says preparation is crucial to get ready for what he calls “the inevitable collapse” of the US economy.
The Self-Reliance Rally event at an Idaho State Park had several speakers encouraging attendees to prepare by gathering arms and ammunition and considering forming militias.
“When it happens, we need to look at this as a opportunity, not a crisis,” Shea said. “Who’s job is liberty? That’s our job.” Continue reading “Legislator to tea party: Get your guns ready for economic collapse”
Mexican cartels are recruiting hit men from the U.S. military, offering big money to highly-trained soldiers to carry out contract killings and potentially share their skills with gangsters south of the border, according to law enforcement experts.
The involvement of three American soldiers in separate incidents, including a 2009 murder that led to last week’s life sentence for a former Army private, underscore a problem the U.S. military has fought hard to address. Continue reading “Mexican cartels hiring US soldiers as hit men”
HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — The nation’s most active death penalty state is running out of its execution drug.
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice said Thursday that its remaining supply of pentobarbital expires in September and that no alternatives have been found. It wasn’t immediately clear whether two executions scheduled for next month would be delayed. The state has already executed 11 death-row inmates this year, and at least seven more have execution dates in coming months. Continue reading “Texas prison system running out of execution drug”
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Old Faithful it’s not.
Yellowstone National Park’s Steamboat Geyser — the world’s tallest — has erupted for the first time in more than eight years. The nine-minute blast sent steaming hot water an estimated 200 to 300 feet in the air, park geologist Hank Heasler said Thursday.
Unlike the park’s popular and famous Old Faithful geyser, which spews water like clockwork every hour-and-a-half, no one knows when Steamboat will erupt next. In the past, it’s gone as long as 50 years without a major event. In 1964, it erupted a record 29 times. The last blast came in 2005. Continue reading “Rare eruption at Yellowstone geyser”
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Chinese sculptor has removed a disputed inscription from the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial statue that he designed on the National Mall and said Thursday that he is working on a new finish for the side of the artwork.
Plans call for sculptor Lei Yixin to carve grooves over the former words to match existing horizontal “striation” marks in the memorial. Lei said he is working to deepen all the memorial’s grooves so that they will match. Continue reading “Disputed inscription removed from MLK Memorial”
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Food safety advocates say they are alarmed by a lack of information being disseminated about the spread of a nasty intestinal illness that has sickened nearly 400 people nationwide, including cases in two states that have been linked to prepackaged salad.
The outbreak of the rare parasite cyclospora has been reported in at least 15 states, and federal officials warned Wednesday it was too early to say that the threat was over. But if you’re looking to find out exactly where it came from, you may be out of luck. Continue reading “Critics: Consumers should know more about outbreak”

We’ve all heard of diplomatic immunity, the international convention that exempts select representatives of foreign countries from arrest and prosecution unless that protection is specifically waived by their government.
The privilege has been occasionally abused, but it’s a vital element in allowing diplomats to operate in sometimes hostile environments without fear of being detained. Continue reading “U.S. expects immunity for its cops working in new cross-border policing program”

Opining that “rock star” Hillary Clinton did a “fine job” as secretary of state, Arizona’s disgrace John McCain says it would be a “tough choice” between supporting the liberal snake oil saleswoman who orchestrated the shameful Benghazi deception and conservative U.S. Sen. Rand Paul in 2016.
That statement should rankle every party stalwart who expects those who run as Republicans to act as Republicans as well as support the GOP Platform. Continue reading “McCain may support “rock star” Hillary in 2016”
