Pandemic, Riots, Political Correctness in the Breakfast Food Aisle, Wild-Fires, looting of businesses, gun stores have little inventory, Blue Flue… When do the locusts arrive? If you have not seriously considered (or revised) your individual, home and family emergency plans, as my late friend Pat Rogers and Gunsite Rangemaster would say: “That’s a clue.” The world as we knew it has again changed and not for the better. It is time to seriously review with yourself, family, (and if receptive) your workplace your emergency plans. Do you and your family know what to do if the riots engulf … [Read more...]
May Gunsite Newsletter
The Go Wash Your Hands Again Issue Greeting from the Gunsite Ranch. My typing fingers are near raw from all the hand sanitizer and soap and water we now call “normal.” If UV light (sunlight) kills the virus, we are executioners here at Gunsite.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the citizens and emergency responders as they work to help the injured and repair damages. This is “Super Tuesday.” We are … [Read more...]
February Newsletter
Happiness is a romantic walk to the Range! Grab a cup of coffee as this one is a bit long. Below find something I wrote in about 2013 during my prior career. While the murderous event noted is dated, the material discussed is not. More and more jurisdictions throughout the Republic are awakening to the fact that the socialists continue to try to overthrow our Nation and way of life. As a result, many are now using the socialists own verbiage against them as to their “Sanctuary” communities. I don’t mention “sanctuary” in my posting, but my conclusion is similar. "The entire … [Read more...]
