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. Spring was wet and cool, but the last week or so has been sunny and in the upper 70’s and 80’s in the high desert. Phoenix is even warmer. As an essential service in Arizona, we continue to sanitize and disinfect, practice social distancing, take every staff, client and visitors’ temperatures so we can continue with classes. Class sizes … [Read more...]

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.

End of 2019 Newsletter
The New Year is upon us! Time to sing Auld Lang Syne and ring in the new year. Hard to believe it is the next decade. Wasn’t it just a year or two ago that we were worried about the millennium? Have you set reasonable resolutions for 2020? Not lose weight or something else we probably won’t follow through on. How about getting that training you keep telling yourself you will do? The church shooting this weekend is a prime example. You saved and purchased that pistol, good holster, magazine pouch and belt and carry it. But have you received proper training and on-going practice? … [Read more...]
