Apparently all of the recent unpleasantness has created a bit of an upsurge in “survival-rated” weapons. Although I was pretty young at the time, I remember a lot of gun ads in the early 80’s really angled towards the “survivalist” user of weapons. I have a great ad on the wall of my office of a blue-jean and flannel-clad outdoorsman… Continue reading "Survival guns – now available at your local . . ."

The recent rise of Tactical P0rnography, i.e. TacPorn has manifest itself in the myriad of glossy magazines available espousing all manner of elements and equipment of the tactical variety. This seems to be the beginning of a new era of “tactical weaponry” and the like – perhaps to even rifle the old “assault rifle” days of the early 80s. Unlike… Continue reading "TacPorn"
