The HK MP5 is a hardcore submachine gun for operators. The MP5 A5 is just as rugged in its exterior, but since it’s semi-auto and chambered in .22 LR, shooters can actually afford to pull the trigger.

Smartphones are quite handy in the field and at the range, but they’re pretty susceptible to the elements. Guy Sagi obtained a case that claims it protects iPhones from water and dust, and even extends battery time. He just had to see if it worked.

After an attempted break-in, Sagi decided that he needed multiple records for his firearms, but a lot of the process went against his nature.

When Guy Sagi heard someone trying to break into his home, he met the threat head on. However, he admits he could have handled the situation better.

“Gun Geo Marker,” a free app that went live on July 4, runs on Android smartphones and allows people to “Geolocate Dangerous Guns and Owners.” The creator’s blog indicates the holiday launch date was deliberate.

Ten year olds were playing checkers, Uno ruled the main hallway, and a group of 8 year olds were constructing a house of cards with more square feet and floors than my current home. Smartphones, iPads and videogames were mysteriously absent. The politeness ran thick in the group of more than 2,000 people and 54 teams of young shooters from across the nation crowded into the Rogers, Ark., convention center.

When I first moved to North Carolina, pistol-purchase permits were as confusing as directions from the locals. The moonshiner’s farmhouse burned to the ground in ’63, but instead of writing it off, it’s still the county’s main navigational aid and the source of many a folk song. I was equally lost trying to feel my way through a nearly 100-year-old law that requires a permit from the local sheriff to purchase a handgun (in addition to the NICs check), and were it not for the help of the personnel at the Hoke County Sheriff’s Office I’d still be singing the blues.

I remember 1973 well. I had this former-professional-football-player-turned biology teacher who put a snake in a cheerleader’s purse one day. She shrieked, jumped from her seat, raised imaginary pompoms and cried, “Yeah team, fight, fight, fight.” The snake was unimpressed, but the display burned into my brain the power of autonomic reflexes, muscle memory, and I never missed another of my high school’s football games.

Your father was probably the one who got you started in shooting, yet you’re trolling the bargain bins in discount stores this week, hoping to find something inexpensive that will satisfy his insatiable appetite for dust-collecting knickknacks. My father’s attic was home to two-dozen Chia pets, an uneaten five-pound gummy bear and a pet rock collection currently the subject of a U.S. Geological Survey all-points-bulletin. All were misguided gifts for the avid outdoorsman and shooter.

Though pricier than a pump-action alternative, the Versa Max Tactical, as its name implies, is far more versatile.

In January, 61,000 people with pre-sharpened elbows, grumpy attitudes and viruses that have yet to be identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention attended the huge petri dish known by most in the industry as the SHOT Show. Every new gun for 2013 was in attendance and available for a brief exam, if you were lucky enough to circumnavigate the 630,000-square-foot maze with all the other lab rats zigzagging between 1,600 exhibitors.

An abused J. Stevens single-shot, break-open 12-gauge holds of place of honor today, and receives more attention than the SIG Sauer M400, Beretta Storm Carbine, Kimber 84 and Remington 700 that share the vault. I knew it could never be, but somehow I’d hoped it would always be with Dad, proudly hanging on the den wall like it did when I was growing up, visually teasing friends until they’d finally inquire about the old gun and sit hypnotized as my father shared hunting tales from the Great Depression.
