I’ve got a new YouTube channel I spend too much time watching, Best Damn EDC. For those of you who don’t know, EDC stands for Every Day Carry. It means the stuff you carry with you everyday. There is some variation on scope of carry. My gun friends will recognize the term and think it…

Zombie AR
The other day I received the latest issue of the Cheaper Than Dirt catalog. Gracing the cover was this firearm. I was a little surprised. This isn’t an airsoft gun, this is a really AR-15. Someone thought there was a market for a lethal firearm pimped out a a zombie killing gun. This could be…
Guns and Kids
I recently got the following as a comment from a new mother on my “What Happens After A Gun Fight” post. There’s just something about guns that don’t fit well with me these days. I guess it’s the mommy in me that’s talking here. My husband has owned a gun since I met him almost…

4Seven’s Quark MiNi AA² Review
For years I’ve heard really good things about Fenix Flashlights. People told me they were as bright and good as a Streamlight but for less money. For some reason I’ve been reluctant to take the step of spending over $50 for a flashlight. Instead I’ve opted for ubercheap lights instead. I was at a gun…
I Got A New Gun
After my class at KRTraining I decided I needed a new gun, so on Buy A Gun Day I ordered one. I knew I wanted a Springfield XD in 9mm. I decided I wanted the XDm which as a buddy put it is, XD 2.0. Looking around I decided I wanted the Bitone version, though…
