New direction needed at DNR Dick Ellis Candidate for governor Tim Michels indicated in October that if elected he would break up the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to serve 1) business and 2 ) the hunting and fishing, or sporting community. “It’s not my opinion that the DNR is broken,” Michels said. “It’s what I hear everywhere I go.” Better days. John and Jim Ellis with a memorable opening mornin...

    By Robb Manning A Practical Gun Solution Few would argue there is a real problem in American with violence.  It’s in the streets of the cities, it’s in the suburbs and rural areas.  When someone thinks it’s expectable to go into an elementary school and shoot small children, barely out of the toddler stage - we have a ...

    By Robb Manning Useful Carry-Related Apps Yes, even for gun owners who have made the choice to carry, “There’s an app for that.” Whether you like slinging birds at pigs or shooting zombies, there’s a lot of wasted hours you can spend on your mobile device. You can, however, use it as a force for good. Here are some iOS ...

    By Robb Manning Off-Body Carry: Elite Survival Avenger Concealment Gun Pack When we think of concealed carry we think of a discreet holster carried inside or outside our waste band.  Sometimes, though, it’s more practical or prudent to carry your firearm using other methods, one of which being off-body carry.  Off-body carry is wh...

    By Robb Manning Maybe the “Old West” Was Not So Bad After All In the last decade or so, as more states have passed laws ceasing the violation of the 2nd Amendment they had been reaping upon their citizens, I hear the same old argument coming from those opposed to gun ownership.  It’s the same worn-out argument that we heard...

    Dear fellow Patriot, Gun-grabbers around the globe believe they have it made. You see, only hours after re-election, Barack Obama immediately made a move for gun control... On November 7th, his administration gleefully voted at the UN for a renewed effort to pass the "Small Arms Treaty." I don't know about you, but watching anti-American glob...

    By Robb Manning Keep Your Pants On! In concealed carry, one of the most important pieces of gear is often the most overlooked; the belt.  You can have the smallest, lightest handgun on the market, and the fanciest holster, but if you don’t have a proper belt, you are not going to be carrying effectively.  By carrying effectively, ...

    By Robb Manning Alternate Carry Methods: Shoulder Holsters When concealed carry first entered my thinking, it was the mid-90s, and I was on a James Bond kick.  Sean Connery looked pretty cool to me, pulling his Walther PPK from his shoulder holster.  At the time, though, I wasn’t going to be doing any concealed carry -- I was stat...

    By Robb Manning Spare Mags I’m surprised when I hear how many people that carry, don’t carry spare magazines.  Or if they do, they do so haphazardly -- letting one bounce around in their pocket.  That’s a big mistake.  Maybe even a fatal one. I have to admit; when I was a new concealed carry licensee, I didn&rsqu...

I got mine a couple...
