CDNN Sports of Abilene, Texas is an advertiser in Shotgun News. Frankly, if I had my way, such folks would simply open the envelope containing my check — or the e-mail with my credit card data — package up that old 1903 Winchester self-loader that I’ve had my eye on, and ship it right to […]
Last year, my own Nevada state senator, Republican Bob Beers, proposed a law which would have “allowed” Nevada government-school teachers to carry concealed weapons on school grounds — if they wished to do so — after passing an arduous training course. Needless to say, there was a public outcry, and not the outcry one would […]

(AP) — More than 1 million sheets of paper, a cache of unregistered books and a tunnel were found at a man’s home after a fire that forced a neighborhood evacuation, authorities said Friday. “Crews worked to fortify the […]
Within living memory, Southern Nevada high schools had rifle ranges and competitive shooting teams. Kids brought their .22s to school; no one thought much about it.
