There is a symbol that's come up in the last few days. You may have read about it. I will say this: Symbols are important. Solidarity is important. "We must, indeed, all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."     Solidarity is important....

California LGC'ers, Most of you all have been following some of the recent legislation here in California. There's a number of very wrong headed bills that unfortunately were passed and signed into law, in addition to most of those same bills being put on the ballot...

Hey fellow LGC members!   Well the annual LGC meeting is right around the corner, and we’ve been working hard to make sure that it is going to be worth your time! The local folks who are hosting this year in Oregon are setting up some great range time for us, and...

Yesterday the California legislature had a real opportunity to pass violence reduction legislation. They could have passed universal, healthcare, funding to reduce homelessness, address our states affordable housing shortage, provide funding to programs that target at...

My Marlin had a seven round magazine, his Ruger a ten with a ten power scope as well. We pretty much swapped shots, settling into an unspoken rhythm. He sat on my right, so his brass flew away from us, and mine just plopped down. Paddle rang “pink” when we hit it.

Remember, as a dues paying member of the LGC, you are a member of a CMP affiliated club. So in addition to being able to buy surplus rifles and ammo direct from the CMP, you can also participate in CMP sanctioned matches and list the LGC as your club of record. More...

Just an update to the press primer we usually send to reporters. Probably warrants a more detailed post, or event just a cut and paste, but if you want to see what we say when asked, this is a good place to start. lgcprimer-oct2018 Thanks!

As we all know, rights are subject to reasonable restrictions, particularly when the public interest and common good are at stake. So in order to ensure the security of our free state, there are several programs that must be extended immediately.   Daesh/ISIS...

On the heels of another kid getting shot by police for having a replica firearm, I figured it was time to revisit this. “Who is that guy over there?” “What is he doing?” “Should we call the police?” As it happens, nobody pictured above is breaking the law at the time...

You know, the slippery slope argument gets invoked a great deal, and honestly, its not exactly resonating with anyone. It feels tired. I am not entirely sure what to do about that without getting a dog whistle out, but that's not the point of today's post. As often as...

I'd forgotten how loud .357's are indoors—made the concrete walls sing: boooonnng. I'd been to this range's shop many times, but this was the first time shooting there. I'd been looking for a range closer than the one 40 minutes south, the outdoor public range. This...

My ability to even broke sometime Thursday. (Hey. I'm a white girl. Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Uggs, and can't-even.) What caused the breakdown of my to-even ability? My Facebook feed full of reposted articles screaming things like "Over 350 mass shootings so far this...

Four Reasons More Gun Control Wouldn’t Have Stopped Recent Mass Shootings 1) We Don’t Even Know What Happened: What kind of gun was used? Where was it acquired? Did the shooters pass a background check? We still don’t have answers for some of the most basic questions...

I read this piece the other day, and its been gnawing at me. Under Ceasefire, police teamed up with community leaders to identify the young men most at risk of shooting someone or being shot, talked to them directly about the risks they faced, offered them support,...

The LGC has  expanded our postal match  program to include an ongoing series of Bullseye (precision pistol) competitions with divisions for rimfire and centerfire shooters. Each match will be open for six weeks. The format is a user-friendly variant of the...

“It’s clear that the proposals put forward by gubernatorial hopeful Gavin Newsom are less about guns and more about Gavin,” says Eric Meyers, President of the Liberal Gun Club’s California chapter.   With his Oct. 16, 2015 announcement, Gavin Newsom is following...

The Liberal Gun Club has received and approved an application creating the Rocky Mountain Chapter. The chapter’s geographical area covers those states along the Rocky Mountain range: Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. The chapter currently has...

Another publicity murder has taken place, and the usual digging in on both sides has started. I’ll start this with this. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. I also applaud those (few) news outlets who are not repeating the name of the murderer, but...

As you may remember, we relocated the club headquarters to MA after a leadership change, and the local paper picked up the fact we existed. So they ran a story: http://newton.wickedlocal.com/article/20150813/NEWS/150818099 Its a good article, and its gotten some...

It seems not a week goes by where someone says, “A liberal gun club? Isn’t that an oxymoron?” Despite repeated encounters with the press, explaining we do indeed exist (SFC, Pacific Standard, Good, there are many more), despite polls and survey data (fivethirtyeight...

The Liberal Gun Club is looking to expand our base of qualified instructors, as well as getting our curriculum approved in YOUR state! Admit it, watching the grin crack on someone's face the first time they pull the trigger and hit the target is satisfying. Knowing...

A GOP appointed judge over in CT just upheld the idiotic gun control passed by the legislature. First, the decision (PDF) and then some select quotes. What the Heller court did make clear, however, is that weapons that are “in common use at the time” are protected...

Currently, if you have a concealed carry permit from your state, it's only good in so many other states. There are multiple problems with this. There's the legal side: a state issuing a license should have that license recognized in all other states and DC (just like...

I buy a firearm from a dealer. Say I found a pretty awesome deal online (gunbroker, ar15.com, the LGC Trading Post, wherever). I buy the firearm and gift it (or sell it) to someone I know who can legally own a firearm. Say, my father. I transfer the firearm to him...

Hey, what's an NFA item? It's an item covered by the National Firearms Act of 1934. These include any select fire firearm (think burst fire or full auto, like a machine gun), suppressors/silencers, shotguns with short barrels (less than the legal limit), destructive...

Regarded as the first real hand held firearm, the Hand-gonne consisted of a cast metal barrel with a smooth bore, affixed to a wooden staff, and a touch hole that could be primed and ignited by a red hot poker or slow burning match (or even the equivalent of a cannon...
