Free For All Friday: 4-4-2014
It’s Friday again! I don’t know about you but I look forward to Friday the moment I wake up on Monday morning. It’s been a good week, actually. I’ve been able to increase my updates a little bit with industry news and such. At the same time, I had a lot of fun with the review of the Portal Gun for April Fools. Questions? We’ve got three this week. Almost had a skeet shooting hat trick this week but there’s definitely a clay sports theme with the first two. Continue reading

Underwater Guns!
Over at Jalopnik, which is a site that usually talks about cars, they’ve got a pretty nice article on underwater guns.

The NDA has been lifted and I can talk about this amazing new direction for personal defense. Continue reading
