Gun owners know the importance of keeping their skills up to snuff. This is done with practice at the shooting range.
But practice shooting can be great fun with activities such as outdoor pin or steel plate matches.
Brigid provides an excellent read on this subject today.
It is important that we remind non-shooters that the shooting sports provide great fun and recreation, in addition to sharpening the skills needed in an emergency.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 8/21/09
Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:
David Codrea provides an alert to the latest example of hatred for gun owners exhibited by the mainstream media.
Mike Vanderboegh warns that with Democrats in trouble for reelection and Obama's approval rating plummeting like a lead balloon, beware of the drastic actions of despots who feel threatened. A MUST-read!
Western Rifle Shooters Association has a list of must-read books as recommended by Billy Beck. Take a look!
Tam shows us an example of the fact that a stern warning from Barack Obama isn't worth the mouth from which it proceeds. It's back to the future, as in Jimmy Carter.
Way Up North posts an absolute MUST-see video. Don't miss this one!
The Newbius Papers has important post that should help to break some stereotypes.
Say Uncle suggests 'let's play spot the bigotry!'
CarTeachO describes one method of dealing with flinch when firing your weapon. This is a highly informative read with videos included.
Texas Fred points to the news story concerning Blackwater and the CIA 'death plot.'
Conservative Libertarian Outpost reports the news from Zogby as of today, which shows Obama has reached a new low in his approval numbers.
Days of our Trailers notes that the MSM plays up the death threats against Obama, but consistently under-reported the significant death threats against Bush. Take a look.
Walls of the City comments on a news story that actually praises a vigilante.
Pax Parabellum provides the quote of the day.
Gun Pundit sends an alert that there is danger to gun owners in the healthcare bill being peddled by Obama and the Democrats.
Brigid has a MUST-read on her recollections of the airliner tragedy over Lockerbie, Scotland in the 1980s. I, too, remember the event very well...back when we had a real President in the White House, who immediately took to the TV airwaves to condemn the act and express the outrage and sadness the American people felt. (Thank-you, 'Dutch.').
John Jacob H notes the passing of a real hunter--a 108-year-old 'dingo lady.'
Ride Fast and Shoot Straight posts a 'stunning' story, so to speak (forgive the pun) of what happened to a certain man who was tazed.
From Standing By: 'Appeal to the Constitution.'
Sebastian says that one of the hysterical anti-gunners needs to take a 'chill pill' based upon what he wrote.
And now, my friends, for your Friday afternoon reading pleasure, The Ol' Broad presents the funniest political cartoons on the Internet. Enjoy...

"The Days of Wine and Rugers"
I have never made any bones about the fact that I admire the writing of Brigid at Home on the Range. She deftly weaves together intriguing descriptions of 2 of her favorite pastimes--guns and cooking.
Such is the case with "The Days of Wine and Rugers," with the exception that this article focuses on wine and guns rather than cooking and guns.
Here is an excerpt to whet your appetite:

No, don't drink and shoot, just something that came to mind as I finished a little painting.
It got me thinking. People spend large amounts of money on good wine. I have too, yet sometimes with a hearty meal, a simple glass of inexpensive red wine will do. Such it can be with a gun budget. I keep a watch on my spending (hey I'm mostly Scot) and I found I was spending a LOT on 45 ammo. Sure I love my 45's. There's absolutely nothing like it and the .45 is ALL I will have close to my side for home defense and my concealed is larger caliber as well. But the thought of having a little .22 to plink with, so I could shoot more, was intriguing. An inexpensive but well-built little .22 would be even better. So after trying out someone's Ruger Mark II, I bought a Ruger Mark III in a nice blued finish at the local non big chain gun store when it was there for a VERY good price.

NewsBusters Blasts Commercial Appeal Gun Hysteria
It seems that the persistent gun hysteria exhibited by Memphis' Commercial Appeal newspaper has reached the national publication NewsBusters.
The media watchdog publication reports that the Commercial Appeal's continued rants concerning gun rights, gun owners, and criminals with guns are simply over the top and lacking in the principles of rationality.
