This week we update the ultimate bear defense gun, the Rock Island Armory 10mm Commander length. Also, some more thoughts on the idea of a “GET OFF ME!” gun.

And why it matters! Based on input from top trainer Greg Ellifritz, we take a look at the rise in “mass shootings” and compare them to an active shooter event. How can you defend yourself in these situations? Also, Stoeger’s saga into low cost/high quality pistols continues with the newest of the breed!

Attendance is down for some firearms classes — and, yes, there are exceptions...looking at you, GUNSITE — as the economy continues to batter the middle class. Also, the last word on AIWB, courtesy Dave Spaulding.

The bump stock ban and the pistol brace final rule go down in flames the same week! But remember…courts can be finicky friends. Also, looking at the Tademkross/MaddMac hybrid .22 and the perfect “snake gun,” the Rossi RP63 with DoubleTap Snake Shot.
