LWRC International, known initially as Land Warfare Resources Corporation, was founded in 1999 and is a CAGE (Commercial and Government Entity) that is a manufacturer and supplier to U.S. government entities as well as commercially available products. LWRC designs are a descendant of their development of rifles for the U.S. Army Individual Carbine Program, and their commitment to design and quality found in their firearms lineup is evident with all their products. The LWRC IC Nine Carbine is a very innovative design. They created the IC NINE pistol caliber carbine by combining their AR platfor ..read more

It’s been a long time since I first delved into the internet side of the gun world, and my, how things have changed. Going through all the changes would require a book, not a short article. My purpose here is to discuss something that hasn’t changed – the popularity of the trunk gun, or, as it has become known with the proliferation of trucks as personal cars, the truck gun. And I want to tell you why rifles as truck guns are probably a bad idea, in most situations, for two reasons. The first reason is that for civilian self ..read more

Murder trials involving self defense seem to be capturing the nation’s attention at the moment. Kyle Rittenhouse, recently acquitted of all charges related to his shooting of three people in Kenosha, Wisconsin, has been compared to Travis McMichael, who was just found guilty in Georgia for the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery, a man he thought had been snooping around a house under construction. Rittenhouse was unfairly condemned early and often as a white supremacist while McMichael chased down and shot an unarmed black man. Those with little appreciation for the facts of each individual case ..read more

 There’s a video making the rounds which purports to tell “the real story” of the second amendment, not the one made up by the “white terror gangs”. It’s called “the second amendment remedy” and it’s an engaging and well-presented story, but it bears little relation to reality and presents numerous falsehoods or half-truths as fact. I picked out six or seven of the most egregious falsehoods from just the last five minutes of the video, and I hope it’ll help folks understand how they should question a presentation even if it appears slick. Claim #1 At the turn of ..read more

There are spoilers starting right here: this movie is the story of a drunk incompetent moron who can’t shoot very well and gets a bunch of innocent people killed. Some movies are good and, of course, entertaining. Some movies are bad, but they’re still entertaining, either because you can laugh at them or with them. And then some movies are just bad. They’re not entertaining, but they do make you laugh when something stupid happens – not because it’s actually funny, but because yet another person leaves the theater. The Marksman falls into this latter category. Every time Liam Neeson ..read more

Our political views seem to have shaped our opinions on the shooting in Kenosha of three people by Kyle Rittenhouse. If you tend to be conservative, you’re open to the idea that Rittenhouse acted in self defense. If you tend to be liberal, you’re likely to say that he murdered protesters who were exercising their First Amendment rights. We’d hope that supposedly neutral fact-checking websites would be able to call balls and strikes, but unfortunately, that’s not how they work. Politifact published an article by Haley BeMiller titled “Trump paints false picture of Kyle Rittenhouse shootings ahe ..read more

On Monday, the National Shooting Sports Foundation announced that SHOT Show, the gun industry’s biggest trade show, was on track for an interactive germ-spreading experience in January of 2021. Like many other SHOT attendees, I dread the thought of returning to Las Vegas. It’s absolutely awful to me that I spend over 1% of my year in that hellish maze of booths, trying not to pick up handguns covered in the slime of a hundred other men, while dodging tactical beards left and right. About the only redeeming feature is the fact that you can see and sometimes pet dogs ..read more

I have recently read opinions about the Kyle Rittenhouse shooting which state something to the effect that because Rittenhouse was out after curfew – or because he was “illegally carrying an assault rifle” – that he has no right to claim self defense. The argument boils down to “if you’ve committed a crime, you lose the right to self defense.” These opinions bear little relevance to the law in Wisconsin. There are three threshold matters here: first, I do not believe that Rittenhouse was violating the Wisconsin law restricting the possession of long guns by minors. I’ve written about that ..read more

ATF recently published a notice in the Federal Register that has the gun world up in arms – and it’s being reported as a ban on pistol braces. That’s not true, because the document doesn’t actually do anything. It’s a guidance document, sort of an official announcement of ATF policy, but ATF policy is not law. Guidance documents are not binding and do not have the force of law. This situation is different from the bump stock ban, which was preceded by a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. However, you still need to respond to the comment. And you need to ..read more
