So it’s not just “gun nuts” adding to their “arsenals,” as the gun-grabber groups would have us believe. A significant percentage are women or are from restrictive states like California, where, feeling threatened by what they see on the news, have started discovering just what they’ve been missing.
The thing is, with all these new gun owners, the chances for negligent discharges and other bad things happening through ignorance go up. Like “Gunners’ Guru” Jeff Cooper famously observed, “Owning a handgun doesn’t make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician.”
David recommend a specific book, and that’s great. Reading is the first step. Owner’s manuals are great too, but if you’re a new gun owner and new to this blog, I recommend that you get some training.
You can even write me and I’ll make some recommendations for training. The point is, while you’ll occasionally find arrogant gun owners like you find in any discipline, most of us are very nice, willing to help, and anxious to teach.
Remington Arms, America’s oldest gun maker, is preparing to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and is in advanced talks for a potential sale to the Navajo Nation, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.
Remington is making preparations for the Native American tribe to serve as the lead bidder to purchase its assets out of Chapter 11, the Journal reported here, citing people familiar with the matter.
The report added that the filing could come with in days.
I think everyone in the gun community expected Remington to go down the toilet, especially after being bought by Cerberus with financial “engineers” skimming money from profits.
But this is odd – Navajo Nation? I wonder what that’s all about? What does Navajo Nation intend to do with Remington?
I stumbled on this and decided to post it. So what is this – about the fifth or sixth review I’ve posted on the Henry X model? All that free advertising, and Henry hasn’t contacted me to send me a rifle to put in my hands and review myself?
