There were many oldies and a few newbies introduced in 2015, but one gun reigned supreme... The Smith & Wesson M&P Shield once again proved that it is the gun to beat! In a concealed carry world, the Shield has proven itself time and time again as a number 1 option for countless armed citizens. Even with the introduction of the long-awaited Glock 43, the Shield not only held its own, but continued to dominate the market. Available in both 9mm and .40 cal, the shield packs a lot of punch into a very concealable package. Coming in at less than an inch in width and about 6 inches long, the Shield can be found for well under $400. Now, with the Performance Center model being released, there is another, slightly upgraded model that already has many of the improvements that people are doing themselves. Available with or without a thumb safety, there is sure to be a Shield for everyone.

Firearms have been a part of hip hop culture for as long as I can remember. The humble beginnings of many rappers were littered with violence and much of this is pulled into their music. Today, we're going to take a look at the top 8 most rapped about guns. See how many you're familiar with. A few may surprise you... In no particular order, here you go! Sawed off"When I'm called off, I got a sawed off. Squeeze the trigger and bodies are hauled off." - Ice Cube, Straight Outta Compton Uzi"He yelled out 'FIRE', then came Suzy. The bitch came in with a sub-machine Uzi." - Eazy E, Boyz-N-The-Hood Tommy Gun"Higher than whoever nigga, know we bout that chedder nigga. Know I got a tommy gun, gave one to my young'n son." - Birdman, Leather So Soft Glock"I can't put my Glock up, my Glock is my hoe. And my hoe go everywhere I go." - Mr. Bigg, Trial Time Snub Nose"I got 6 sluts in my Maybach. Six pack under my tank top. I got a snub nose that got 6 shots. Nigga try me, I think not." - T.I., Trap Back Jumpin AK (Chopper)"Chopper on the floor, pistol on the couch. Hood rich so I never had a bank account." - Gucci Mane, Trap House Calico"My Calico been cocked, this rap Alfred Hitchcock. Drop-top-notch, playa hatin' gon stop." - Notorious B.I.G., What's Beef? Street SweeperI'm going down down baby your street in a Range Rover. Street sweeper baby, cocked ready to let it go.
- Nelly, Country Grammer When it comes to AR-15 style rifles, all the information being thrown at you can seem a bit overwhelming. From laws to myths, everyone will have some little nugget of knowledge they feel you "must" know. Well today, it's my turn... Check out the picture. What you are looking at is an AR lower receiver. According to the ATF, it's the gun. Seriously, this is the only part of an AR that must have a serial number. This single piece of metal is the reason you have to go through the background check. It can be bought alone as shown, or as a part of a completed rifle. Neither matters. If you purchase a lower receiver, there will be a background check. You can buy as many barrels, uppers, stocks, and triggers as you want, but as soon as one of these comes into play, now it's a gun. Weird, I know, but that's the ATF. Own a few guns for a while and you'll see even more. But how does knowing this help you? If you do not have the money to drop on a nice AR or another scare comes along, owning a lower receiver ensures you can build your AR-15 even if they are banned. It's like an insurance policy for your 2nd Amendment rights. Sad that rights need a policy, but you know... Liberals.
Is your gun registered?I hear this question asked all the time. With jail time for firearms being so lengthy, people want to be sure that laws are followed. This is a very smart, but misguided question. Gun registration, for the most part, is not required in the United States. The only paperwork that you will have is the receipt of sale, and that's only if you purchase from an FFL dealer. Private sales do not need anything, although, it is smart to draw up a bill of sale just to be safe. Guns are not in anyone's name. There are no special papers that must be shown. All you need to do is make sure that your firearm was legally purchased according to your local laws and you are good. Here is a picture of what many would consider "standard" firearms. They still require a background check when purchased from an FFL dealer, but registration is not required. These are considered NFA firearms and are subject to the same background check, even more background checks, registration, and a $200 tax stamp. Also, depending on local laws, there are more hoops to jump through.

AuthorKeep in mind that I am by no means a gun expert. I have had some safety, handling, and shooting training, but nowhere near the amount I feel is needed to claim the "expert" title. With that being said, I am a man that owns a LOT of firearms, knives, and gear! I have been shooting since I could hold a rifle and have even competed in and won a few competitions. The advice and tips that I give are based on personal experience, but are by no means to be taken as law. Please consult a trained, certified professional for all your firearms needs. Enjoy! Archives
