In the article "Don’t Make This First-Time Gun Owner Mistake" by Mike Boyle, published on The Armory Life, the author emphasizes the importance of careful selection and preparation for first-time gun owners. Boyle outlines four critical areas, termed "The Priorities," which include mental preparation, understanding of basic tactics, practical marksmanship, and possessing the right gear. He advises that choosing the right gun involves considering its intended use—whether for home defense or concealed carry—as these factors influence the appropriate size and weight. Notably, the article discourages small, sub-caliber pocket pistols for self-defense due to their poor performance and suggests considering service cartridges like the 9mm for reliable results. Boyle also discusses different pistol types, such as striker-fired and double-action models, recommending that new users practice diligently regardless of their choice. He reinforces that proper training and selecting a comfortable, manageable firearm are paramount for personal safety and effectiveness.

Buying a Gun Safe? Read This Advice from a Professional Safecracker First
Your guns can’t get stolen or damaged by fire if they’re in a safe, right? Not exactly.
IMAGE: Liberty Safes
By Scott Einsmann – Outdoor Life
A masked burglar enters someone’s home and expertly uses gadgets to guess a safe’s combination. They pop the safe, empty it, and slip away without anyone the wiser.
That sort of theft is depicted in most movie scenes, but that isn’t how thieves are…

How long would a totally not stolen totally not missing artifact from artifact storage go unnoticed?
For your own safety, please return it within the next 48 hours. A few of the puppets have gone missing and Artefact Storage aren’t sure if they ran off or were taken. If you’ve lost them, or more likely, they escaped…well, Elias will be wanting to see you, to put it lightly.

I just saw a home renovation show where they redid an "awful" unfinished basement and it was just like. damn, I should show these people the murder room.
I have one of those old Philly rowhomes, so when you think of my basement, imagine one that's over a hundred years old, very low ceilings, rickety stairs, more of a cellar than anything. I don't use it much because stairs aren't my friends at the best of times.
anyway, the previous owners built a weird little addition onto the back of it that I fondly call "the murder room." I have gone into the murder room approximately once since moving in, and that's only because I had to find a leak.
imagine, if you will, a tiny little room (maybe 8x8) with no windows or proper lighting. I have to watch my head in there, and I'm only a little over five feet tall. also, the walls are painted, I shit you not, blood red. directly onto the fucking concrete. it's a lot.
there's a sink, some shelves, a hell of a lot of cobwebs, and a drain in the floor. that's it. there was some kind of heavy-duty door on this room, but it was removed before I bought the house. (I can see where the door was, but it's just a doorway for now.)
I was TOLD the drain was there because of storm water, but if that's the case it does a shit-ass job because I still get water in my basement every time there's a bad storm. (see: the mystery leak)
I think the real estate agent called it a work room, but as soon as I started calling it the murder room, she followed suit. the vibes are rancid in there.
so now when I watch some home improvement show that's like "oh no there are EXPOSED BEAMS and the STAIRS AREN'T TO CODE" I'm like lol. lmao. rofl. etc.
if you saw my murder room, y'all would cry lmao.

Despite the lack of sufficient support in Congress to pass a new assault weapons ban, President Joe Biden on Friday said the US has “reached a tipping point” in the fight to strengthen America’s gun laws, due to the activism of the gun violence prevention movement that has gathered increasing strength in recent years.
Mr. Biden, who was delivering remarks at the National Safer Communities Summit in Hartford, Connecticut, at the invitation of Senator Chris Murphy and a coalition of gun safety groups including Everytown, Moms Demand Action and Giffords, recounted some of the more than 20 executive actions his administration has taken to stem the tide of mass shootings since he took office. He said those politicians who claim to be concerned about crime should realise that crime can’t be tackled without dealing with gun violence.
“It’s a simple proposition,” he said.
The President also lamented how since 2020, firearms have been the leading cause of death for children in the United States — more than automobile accidents or cancer.
He recalled how the assault weapons ban he wrote into the 1994 crime bill enacted under then-President Bill Clinton cut mass shootings “significantly” only to see their number triple when Mr. Clinton’s successor, George W. Bush, allowed the ban to expire with the aid of a Republican Congress, allowing military-style rifles and high-capacity magazines to “come back into vogue.”
Mr. Biden also called for a repeal of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which immunises gun manufacturers from lawsuits filed by gun violence victims, and for the enactment of universal background checks before anyone can purchase high-powered rifles, many of which are modelled off of those issued to American soldiers, as well as safe storage requirements for such weapons.
“The United States of America has the finest fighting force in the history of the world [and] provides … service members with the most lethal weapons on Earth. We also require them to receive significant training before they’re allowed to use them. We require extensive background checks and mental health assessment that before they can … use them [and] require them to lock them up or store the weapon responsibly,” he said.
“Every gun owner should be required to have the same requirements held to him or her,” he added.
The President also hailed Governors who have taken action to strengthen state gun laws, including Connecticut’s Ned Lamont, who recently signed more than 12 separate bills to strengthen his state’s firearm regulations, and praised state governments in Illinois and Washington for passing assault weapon and ghost gun bans, as well as the 21 states that have enacted so-called “red flag” laws to allow courts to temporarily disarm people who are determined to pose a risk to the community by a judge.
Though chances of a federal assault weapons ban making it to his desk are slim to none given the composition of Congress, Mr. Biden promised the gun safety advocates that he will “never stop fighting.”
“We will ban assault weapons in this country … we will hold gun makers liable, we will beat the gun industry,” he said.
