Dear USCCA, Your website and magazine have many helpful articles and most importantly, an opportunity to hear from like-minded people who take self protection seriously. For many of us that carry, it has been both an "evolution" from thinking about carrying to a full-time commitment and a "revelation" that we can enjoy freedom to protect our loved ones from attack.

Gun Control -- A Study in Duality In 1886 one of the greatest authors of the Victorian era, Robert Louis Stevenson, wrote a novella about the duality of man. It soon became a bestseller in both Great Britain and the United States. The story centered around two characters called Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, who, in reality, turned out to be the same person. It is the classic tale of a split personality. Here in present-day America, the anti-gunners would have us believe that anyone wishing to carry a firearm also suffers from a split Jekyll-and-Hyde type of personality. . . . keep reading Proof: Believe the NRA when it says gun ban extremists are lying Having adopted the deceptive tactics suggested a few years ago by billionaire gun-hater Andrew McKelvey, gun and hunting ban lobbyist groups go to great lengths these days to deny that their ultimate goals are to stamp out all civilian ownership of firearms, or to eradicate all forms of hunting. In response to warnings by grassroots pro-Second Amendment groups about these anti-gun organizations true goals, Americans are offered assurance by the gun banners and their media friends that all they want are "sensible" or "common sense" reforms to the our gun laws.

When Auditor of State Betty Montgomery phoned to ask my support for a 2006 bid to regain the office of State Attorney General (she had held the office previously), I reminded her of the day she told Buckeye Firearms Association Chair Jim Irvine that she would "never be the candidate of the NRA," and of the evening she told me that she was personally opposed to concealed carry. She countered by saying that Ohio's concealed carry law had been so successful that she had changed her mind. Remembering Ronald Reagan's motto, "trust but verify", I replied by saying "That's great! But gun owners are traditionally dubious about election year conversions . . . keep reading Video Review: Magill's Gunshot Wound First Aid and Knife Wound First Aid A lot of time is spent amongst us firearm enthusiasts discussing how, what, and even why we should carry a gun. Additionally, we discuss the psychological and legal ramifications of being involved in a gunfight. What is seldom discussed, though, is what Lenny Magill covers in his new video Gunshot Wound First Aid. In this DVD, John Klatt, former Navy medic turned international safety instructor, gives the viewer an overview of basic first aid for gunshot wounds. The instruction is straightforward, with Klatt explaining all of . . . keep reading Winning the Hearts and Minds of Soccer Moms A few days ago I was giving a book signing in Iowa. About 30 people showed up and I talked for about an hour about the craft of writing. Afterwards, almost everyone there bought at least one book. It was a good day. But the best part of the day came later as I was about to leave. A middle-aged woman stopped me and said, "I just wanted to tell you that I read your book Blood in the Streets and I hated it!" . . . keep reading The Answer to School Shootings is ...
