All Firearms Must Be Cased & Unloaded
A “negligent discharge” (or “ND”) is often confused with an “accidental discharge” (or “AD”), but the two are very different. We do everything we can to prevent both ADs and NDs. One of those things is the simple requirement that All Firearms Must Be Cased & Unloaded.

Having a Gun Does Not Make You Safe
The typical “summer slow down” continued through August, right up until last weekend, when all hell broke loose in Afghanistan. That day, and everyday since, foot traffic in our doors has been up 70% from where it was the previous 8 weeks. Why? Because the world is a less safe place than it was just over a week ago.

Dry Fire a Lot, Then Dry Fire Some More
