Over the span of about three decades, Black Hills Ammunition has grown from a small part-time operation to one of the most respected manufacturers of handgun and rifle ammunition. I�ve used Black Hills ammo in national and international level competition, in varmint shoots and big game hunts from Wyoming to Namibia, in my home and personal defense firearms along with testing rifles and handguns. Never has a Black Hills round failed, or disappointed me in any way.

Tennessee will soon begin offering a new concealed carry-only handgun permit that doesn�t require an applicant to demonstrate the ability to fire a weapon. Under the new handgun law, a permit to carry a concealed handgun could be obtained after online training of at least 90 minutes. The current handgun carry permits, to be known as �enhanced handgun carry permits,� would still remain an option. Those permits require eight hours of in-person training with live firing required � a testing procedure that critics say is time-consuming and burdensome.

Swift intervention by a legally-armed parishioner abruptly stopped Sunday�s tragic church shooting in White Settlement, Texas, not gun control by any of its pseudonyms, and one of the nation�s leading gun rights advocates says the incident exposed a myth perpetuated by the gun prohibition lobby about armed citizens.

The unidentified killer fatally shot two parishioners, including one man who drew a pistol when he recognized the threat, but was quickly neutralized within seconds by a volunteer member of the church�s security team. That �good guy with a gun� has identified himself on social media as Jack Wilson, president of On Target LTC, LLC, who is also a candidate for public office. Wilson fired one shot that put the gunman down.

Well, the company also makes flat, compact, everyday carry (EDC) pistols as well. Case in point: the Staccato-C, a compact, single-stack 1911-type pistol chambered in 9 mm.

For both pistol and rifle ammunition, nickel-plated brass casings offer a unique spin on the standard brass or steel casings. When it comes to nickel vs. brass, nickel-plated brass looks nicer than standard brass casings and can be reloaded � making it a great choice for someone looking for an aesthetically pleasing and functional cartridge case. Remington, Federal and Hornady are noted for using nickel-plated ammo in their premium lines.

In 2018, I wrote a eulogy to honor the passing of �mouse guns�' into the annals of shooting history. By mouse guns I mean the small, pocket-sized semi-automatics chambered for diminutive cartridges, including the .32 ACP, .25 ACP, .22LR and even the .22 Short. Although the small center-fire .32s and 25s continue to languish, Ruger has opted to pull out the chest paddles in 2020 and give the rimfire mouse gun a resuscitating jolt with the release of a new version of the popular .380 ACP LCP II pocket pistol chambered in .22 LR.

Gun violence has persisted even as other metrics seem to stand in contrast to it � such as relatively low levels of overall violent crime, an increase in people arrested for illegal gun possession, and a 34% uptick in cases filed involving an aggravated assault with a gun.

Despite the all-American claim that bigger is better, there are some cases in which smaller and more compact really pays dividends. For instance, when you�re looking for the ultimate truck gun, an easily stored and transported range gun or simply need a highly maneuverable home-defense gun, a pint-size AR pistol can be a lot more user friendly than its full-size counterpart.

Beginning March 1, all spring turkey hunters can purchase a license over-the-counter. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is announcing the season details now so hunters can apply for permits drawn in a lottery for the three wildlife management areas.
