Air Travel With Firearms

January 15, 2012 by PaulCarlson Leave a Comment

Right now I am sitting at the gate waiting to catch the first leg of my trip out to SHOT Show! Before leaving, I took a few minutes to shoot a video to show how it is that I set up my suit case to travel by air with my firearms. It used to be a pretty daunting task for me to check my guns, but I have become pretty comfortable with the process over the years. All it takes is some research, a little bit of preperation, some planning ahead, a sense of humor and a bit of extra time and flying with guns can be a piece of cake.

Take a look at the video and next time you take to the friendly skies, bring your blasters with you!

0252 – SSA Shot Show Coverage Plan

January 12, 2012 by PaulCarlson Leave a Comment

People dig guns, and people that dig guns really dig SHOT Show. It is the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show and SHOT Show is the NSSF’s version of your local gun show. On steroids. It is the premier event where manufacturers, distributors, FFL holders, instructors, military and LE end users and media all get together to display and discover what is new in the industry. It is a big deal and a lot of folks would like to be in attendance but cannot attend because it is an industry event. That is where the media comes in. If you cant make it to SHOT Show because you are not an industry insider, or if you just can’t make it, you can still follow the SHOT Show. Through folks like me! Today we are going to lay out the plan for how the SSA podcast plans to cover SHOT Show 2012.

Today’s Friday Film is one that it is tough to comment on. When everything works out well in the end, you have to just sit back and smile, especially when it is a 15 year old defending his sister from intruders with a rifle. It would appear that this family correctly judged the proper age for their son to have unimpeded access to a rifle to defend the home. I wish that there was a magical age that meant your kids were ready, but the fact remains that each family will have to answer this question on their own. Today we will talk about a few factors to consider.

Let me start off by saying very clearly that I am not advocating for or against children having access to firearms. Nor am I providing some magical formula for how you can determine if your kids should have the key to the safe. I am going to give my opinion on some factors you might want to consider when you think about the issue. By no means is this an exhaustive list. You must make the decision that is right for you and live with the consequences. Too soon and and our children could be harmed by the tools we want them to use for protection, too late, and they succumb to what we want to protect them against.
