The Second Amendment

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed..." - Thomas Jefferson

These carefully crafted words define the natural rights of American citizenry to self-defense and resistance to oppression, internal or external, and the civic duty to act in the defense of the state should that become necessary.

Learn to Shoot

Shooting is one of America’s favorite hobbies. It can take on many forms, including casual target practice, hunting, school trapshooting sports, advanced competitive shooting and firearm education. No matter the discipline, there is always that ‘first time’ that someone gets to handle and use a firearm. So what things should you bear in mind when you consider becoming a participant in the shooting arts?

‘Tis the Season!

If any of the drains in your home seem to clog repeatedly, that’s not normal, and you need to investigate why it’s happening. Generally, when household drains seem like they’re always slow or totally clogged, it’s because household members repeatedly allow things to flow into the drains that don’t belong there. Damaged plumbing can be a culprit, too, but more often than not, the problem is caused by user neglect.

Reloading Ammunition

With the nationwide ammunition shortage showing no signs of getting better any time soon, some people have turned to reloading as a possible solution. What are the pros and cons, and is it really a viable option?

Long Range Rifles

Long range rifles are often used for hunting or sport shooting, and there are many options to choose from. Available in bolt-action, auto-loading and even single shot flavors, there are many calibers and accessories to work with.

Firearm and Ammunition Shortage

So what’s the deal with guns and ammo being so hard to find? In the past, even with administrations that were unfriendly to the 2nd Amendment, there has never been such a pronounced shortage of product in the firearms market as there is today. Why? The answer is two-fold: The pandemic and its collateral effects have stressed supply chain and manufacturing capacity, and demand has risen to unprecedented levels due to heightened social and political tension nationwide. A perfect storm – supply is depressed and demand is through the roof.

Rifles at Metro Pawn & Gun

If you hunt or enjoy shooting sports, rifles are part of your vocabulary, and the term encompasses a vast array of equipment. You can have a .22LR for 30 yard plinking at the range or a .50BMG for destroying virtually anything at up to 1,800 yards. Actually, the record stands at 3,871 yards using a McMillan TAC-50 sniper rifle. And there are hundreds of options between these two.

Prepping: Smart or Not?

The year 2020 has certainly accentuated one fact – normal life can be very suddenly and significantly disrupted. With little warning, we went from ordinary, relatively uneventful daily routines to unprecedented lockdowns in the face of a global pandemic. Everyday activities such as shopping, going to the movies, getting a haircut or taking the family out to eat either ceased entirely or became rather complicated. Social distancing, face masks, curbside pickups, directional arrows on floors and Zoom meetings became a part of our lexicon.

Minnesota Firearm Laws

If you’re considering purchasing a firearm in these troubled times, you are not alone. Gun sales have surged through the roof in recent months, far higher than even industry analysts had predicted. In order to select a firearm that best suits your needs, it is important to understand not only the operation and potential application, but also the laws concerning whatever you may be interested in.

Supporting Local Business

The negative economic impact resulting from events that have transpired within the last six months has been tremendous. An unprecedented closure of the economy has caused irreparable harm to small businesses across the country, forcing many to shutter their doors for good. Unemployment rose higher in three months of COVID-19 than it did in two years of the Great Recession. Yet despite the pandemic, Amazon doubled its net profit year over year to $5.2 billion, compared to $2.6 billion at this time in 2019. So what’s wrong with this picture?
