Pictures from NV State IDPA Championship

A fellow shooter e-mailed these images of Brian shooting in the 2008 IDPA Nevada State Championship:

IDPA and USPSA share a lot in common. The same safety rules and operating procedures, for example. The main differences, other than restricting the limited/open type guns, are that you have to shoot from behind, over, around, or under cover.   That and you can’t drop magazines with bullets left in them.  A lot of stages have you shooting while moving backwards (the idea being to avoid whatever is threatening you).

Brian and I shoot IDPA monthly in Las Vegas. If you want to tag along, just holler, we’ve got room for 3 other shooters to go with us.

Major support for concealed carry

Category: ShootingKen N. @ 3:49 pm

A new Zogby poll shows major support for firearms ownership and also concealed carry.

An overwhelming majority of Americans (83 percent) support concealed-carry laws, while only 11 percent oppose them. A majority of Independent voters (86 percent), Democrats (80 percent), young voters age 18-29 (83 percent), Hispanic voters (80 percent), and those who voted for President Obama (80 percent) support the right to carry a firearm.

That’s right… 80% of those that VOTED FOR OBAMA support the right to carry a firearm.
