For those of us that live in the gun world, we often hear terms over and over. Or the experts give advice that often makes sense, but we might not fully understand it; information that might be antiquated, or doesn’t fit our body type. Sometimes this guidance can cause us to not reach our full potential when we shoot due to “not doing it right.”

On Friday morning, August 16, 2013, Rodney Long climbed a fence and escaped from a prison in Clarinda, IA. Two days later, Long shot and wounded a Sheriff's Deputy about 10 miles northwest of Bedford. Iowa officers, with help from Missouri and Nebraska State Patrol, searched for Long, scouring about 16 square miles, after the sheriff's deputy was shot.

Let’s admit it. Ammo is expensive. High cost makes going to the range less appetizing. At the same time, it’s critical that anyone that carries a firearm or has a home defense firearm, practice with that weapon. The last thing you want to do is fumble with a firearm when your adrenaline is pumping and your life is on the line.

As the George Zimmerman case fades away, there is a lesson that everyone who carries a firearm should not forget. The decision to pull the trigger will change your life forever. It is your responsibility as a gun owner to ensure that the decision to take someone’s life is the absolute last resort.

To go with this our fore-fathers wrote the 2nd Ame...ndment. That text ensures the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. The Supreme Court has interpreted this and stated that this Amendment was to make sure the people have the same general weapons as the military so THE PEOPLE could defend themselves against the tyranny of the Government. IT IS NOT to ensure the rights of hunters and IT IS NOT to honor a tradition of gun ownership in our country. It is simply giving the people the power and means by which they can defend themselves against their own country. Why would they do this? Did they know something we didn’t?
