Where is the NRA?
It Is Everywhere, Soon To Be—Here! The 2014 NRA Annual Meeting and Convention Comes to Indianapolis, Indiana Several years ago, after walking down the never-ending sidewalk along the Ponte Vecchio river in Florence, Italy, I finally realized a life-long dream; I found the Instituto e Museo di Storia della Scienza (the Leonardo Da Vinci Museum) open for my tour.

This was long before they were built and designed to operate as functional war machines. In a… Read More

Love At First “Sight”: A Day With A New Perazzi O/U Shooting Sporting Clays

HOW DO YOU KNOW THE “LEGAL” CULTURE OF YOUR STATE, PRO- OR ANTI-GUN: INDIANA GOVERNOR MIKE PENCE SPORTING CLAYS EVENT
The legal position of a state governor provides a good insight into how various gun laws may be enforced and what to anticipate in terms of future gun laws. In Indiana, Mike Pence gained strong support in his recent bid to be elected governor from gun owners and sports enthusiasts by his stated commitment to Hoosiers’ right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment. Certainly, such a plank for election speaks to whether a Governor will veto nonsensical or unnecessary gun legislation. However, many compromises must often be made by any respected leader, Governor Pence is solid in his commitment to Hoosiers to secure their right to safely… Read More
