Young Economist And Marksman Too!

Now THIS is refreshing! A youngster in school whose extracurricular activities include marksmanship.

Rally round boys, we need to nurture all the gems we find!

His name is Tim Nuccio and here is an excerpt from his blog:

This may come as a surprise to my readers. I’m applying to the History Channel’s newest reality TV show, “Top Shot.” The ten episode show is designed to test marksmanship skill and declare one “Top Shot” who will win $100,000 in cash!

Wish me luck! I’ve been on TV before, in Fourwheeler Magazine and I had a great time. This competition presents an entirely new challenge, however. Sixteen people will be chosen as finalist, and one top shot declared. Anyone who knows me well knows that I have what it takes. I’ll be working on my casting video in the coming weeks, and with any luck, I’ll have a chance to be the first ever Top Shot!

Over the years, I’ve taken many people to the range, learned a lot, improved my marksmanship and taught others what a joy firearm shooting can be. Now I will have the chance to show the world my marksmanship skills and test myself in tough shooting scenarios with a wide variety of firearms. While I am not yet sure of the details of the show, I can only imagine that whoever the top shot is, he or she will be expected to make amazing shots at extreme distances. Of course, I’d love to be that guy, and that’s why I’m doing this.Complete Text CLICK HERE

Gungrabbers Attack Switzerland

Switzerland did not fall to Hitler or any external invader for the last 500 years.

But the latest assault is the most insidious: the attack of nitwittery from Bolshevik Apparatcheks.

Staring down the barrel of Swiss gun traditions
Amy Wong, World Radio Switzerland

Switzerland is grappling with a question and it’s a loaded one: should its citizens be allowed to keep military rifles at home? The shooting traditions are deep-rooted in this country where basic military training is mandatory and so is storing weapons at home. It’s estimated that over 500,000 military rifles are kept in Swiss cellars and cupboards. WRS video journalist Amy Wong went to the Tiro Federale in Campagna (also called the Feldschiessen in German or Tir fédéral en campagne in French) the largest shooting festival in the world, to witness this 83-year-old tradition.

You’re Carrying A God Damned Gun At A Presidential Event

Watch Chris Matthews get rude, abrasive and hostile when the topic is a New Hampshire Town Hall meeting.

In New Hampshire not only is open carry completely legal, but many people (open) carry at Legislative Hearings and in the Gallery when the Legislature is in session.

While William Kostric is not the polished TV talking head to which viewers are accustomed he is extremely self possessed and probably too cogent to suit Matthews (whose resignation is apparent in his voice at the end of the interview.)

Descriptive Excerpt:

“You’re Carrying A God Damned Gun At A Presidential Event,” Matthews says to protester William Kostric, appearing on “Hardball” to explain why he carried a gun to a health care town hall in Portsmouth, New Hampshire hosted by President Obama. He said he wanted “to be heard” and wanted everyone to be aware of the rights we are losing.

Matthews chides Kostric for bringing a loaded gun to an event where the President would be. “A firearm is a defensive tool,” Kostric says. “Who would be silly enough to carry an unarmed firearm?” It is legal to carry guns in New Hampshire.

See you at Target Practice! Bring the family!

Tactical Training Gone Wild!

Just when I thought I had seen everything!

Word to the wise: pick your training school carefully.

It matters not if these guys are shooting blanks, this is just crazy, meaningless and counterproductive.

I long for the insight of the late Col. Jeff Cooper, known as the gun guru, about this video.

The Heck With NASCAR! Real Competition=Knabenschiessen

Amazing what occurs around the world with virtually no notice by those of us who say we support and defend the Constitution and the 2nd Amendment.

Watch now this video of a vibrant, exuberant shooting competition as practiced by people who still remember the grim penalties exacted against a population who forget the meaning and purpose of such skills.

To paraphrase the MTV Generation- Call your cable service and tell them “I want my Knabenschiessen TV!”

No, you do not have to understand the language to appreciate the action.

The Boys Of Pointe Du Hoc

When I Was A Kid…….

Lew Rockwell.Com points us all to a terrific column by Paul Craig Roberts about his childhood and the 2nd Amendment.

While from a slightly different generation, many of his memories ring true with me.

There was ALWAYS a shotgun in the hall closet in a house full of six siblings and all the neighborhood children who were loose to engage in whatever activity of the day attracted them to our neck of the woods (which would include the occasional Eddie Haskell type).

To the best of my memory there was not a single incident of any kind with that fearsome weapon of mass destruction.

How in the world have those times come to these times?

Delightful Excerpt:

How Things Change Out From Under Us
by Paul Craig Roberts

When I was a kid there were no age limits to the Second Amendment. We all had firearms before we reached puberty. Anyone with the money could purchase a .22 caliber rifle at the local hardware store. If you were too young to see over the counter, the proprietor might call your parents to get an OK. You could purchase .22 caliber ammunition and shotgun shells at most any gas station.

None of us ever shot anyone or any farmer’s cow or mule. There were no gun accidents among my armed companions.

My grandmother never batted an eye when I walked out of her farmhouse with my grandfather’s shotgun. Guns were just a routine item. We all learned gun safety from the Boy Scouts. My grandmother only became concerned for my safety when I became the proud owner of a spirited horse.

If the attitudes that exist today had been around when I was coming along, my entire generation would be felons. I had my first altercation at the age of three. Bullies were ever present. A kid had to steel himself against them. At six years of age I learned that, Lone Ranger and Roy Rogers bravado notwithstanding, an older and stronger kid was just that.

New Release Now Available: No Guns For Negros

Jews For The Preservation Of Firearms Ownership has released their latest blockbuster documentary: No Guns For Negros, a long overdue analysis of the connection between Jim Crowe Laws and the American Gun Control movement.

David Codrea has a comprehensive review in his Examiner.com column.

Tantalizing Excerpt:

Most people are unaware of the brave stand taken by groups like the Deacons for Defense during the Civil Rights struggles of the 20th Century.

Without a sense of history, and without a clear understanding of the motivations employed today to ensure continued and expanded citizen disarmament, most do not have perspective to challenge deception-based assumptions, ones that purposely omit any reference to the implications for freedom that guns in moral private hands represent.

Ralph W. Conner, Chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)-Chicago, and Donna Major, Boston Field Coordinator for Second Amendment Sisters, are our guides through this 20-minute video. I urge you to stop what you’re doing, right now, and go watch it.
