Top Shot: Season 2 & Blogs

The auditions for “Top Shot” season 2 are soon to take place.  (http://pilgrimfilms.tv/casting/topshot/) Many of the blogs have expressed criticism of the show and upcoming season 2.

For tactical/military, yes.  But I am not sold on it being the best option for a civilian and home defense. Here’s are some considerations: a) holster options are greatly narrowed b) dynamics of the gun are altered [...]

A very bad path…

This article talks about a trend to ban video taping of police officer actions. While I am very supportive of law enforcement in general. And understand they walk a fine line of force.  I have also had a number of personal encounters with law enforcement who frankly should not have a badge nor a gun. [...]
