Kids and Guns
Do you have a plan in place to teach your children firearms safety? If you don’t you are waiting for an accident to happen. As a gun owner you have a responsibility to make sure that everyone in the house learns the importance of gun safety and gun handling. I was reminded of this the other day when my child asked what dad was doing in the shop. At 3 years old, I can’t teach much, but we have already started the conversation about never touching guns without dad’s permission, and we have already talked about the fact that...

Becoming a better shooter involves many things practice, better trigger control, and mastering the fundamentals. All of these things are crucial to becoming a great shooter, but one thing that is often overlooked by novice shooters is reading your misses. To understand this, you need to know that reading your misses can be pretty simple. If you consistently shoot low on your target there are two things that could be at work. One is that your fixed sights are not calibrated to your gun. You will often see this with someone who has added...

The sights that we told you about earlier in the week have obviously been used for entertainment value only. However, it appears that in 2001 some Richmond, VA officials decided that this was a grave matter that needed to be addressed. According to the Gun Zone, the city leadership began to denounce the sights until they realized it was a spoof. This leads us to several conclusions: Elected officials in VA have too much free time on their hands. Having lived several different times in the Commonwealth of VA, there are greater problems to...

AT MCC, we try to give you useful information to make you a better shooter; but not this time. These sights will only give you style points. They won’t help you score points at IDPA or IPSC matches.

read moreJudge says "Arm Yourself"
Recently, in a Chattanooga, TN courtroom, Judge Bob Moon told a victim of a home invasion that she was responsible for her own security, and that she should arm herself. This is certainly a departure from how those in the legal system are normally characterized when it comes to gun rights, but it backs up what we say all the time. You alone are responsible for your security. You can read the full article here.

read moreShooting With Your iPod
Recently my iPod screen decided to quit working, and rather than pay too much to get it fixed, I decided to upgrade since my old one was about 2 years old. After a lot of deliberation I finally settled on the iPod Touch. The iPod touch is really designed to fill the niche for those of us who are not ready for the iPhone. Because I don’t use AT&T for my cell service, it is not pratical for me to switch to the iPhone. The iPod Touch has the same features and capabilities, except for the cell service and Internet, but I can still...
read moreGuns at Church?
One of the places that you should think about protection is church. I know it seems odd to take a weapon into a peaceful assembly, but with recent shootings a different churches, there seems to be a responsibility to consider the safety of parishioners. Churches have several options that should be considered. The easiest is to pay off duty police officers to work inside the buildings and out in the parking lots when services are in session. By hiring local deputies or officers, you not only protect yourself, but you also add a certain...

Maintenance for your firearms is crucial if you carry them daily. We have all gotten a little spoiled with Glocks that can withstand thousands of rounds in torture tests without a malfunction, but the reality is if you have to trust a firearm for your profession or CCW, you had better keep them clean. I was reminded of this because a good friend brought over a Kel-Tec that would not extract a live round. The slide would only move about 1/4″. He essentially had two choices at that point; fire the gun or find a good way to safely get...
