Four Questions to Ask in Your Next Gun Control Debate

November 28, 2017 By Tom McHale Leave a Comment

Four Questions to Ask in Your Next Gun Control Debate

This article originally appeared at Ammoland. Last month we talked about how to win the gun control debate. You can read it here, but the Cliff notes are as follows: Calling the other side stupid doesn’t work, nor does spouting off facts at high volume. Listening is key, no matter how much you disagree with […]

How to Win the Gun Control Debate

October 26, 2017 By Tom McHale 2 Comments

How to Win the Gun Control Debate

This article originally appeared at Ammoland. In case you hadn’t noticed, there’s been a big political debate about gun control in the aftermath of the horrific Las Vegas attack. This event set the record for fewest minutes to politicize once the news hit. That got me thinking. Why the mad dash to policy “solutions?” No, […]

173 Trillion People Have Never Read the Constitution!

September 14, 2017 By Tom McHale Leave a Comment

173 Trillion People Have Never Read the Constitution!

OK, so maybe the 173 trillion number is more of an estimate. Regardless, most people haven’t ever read the founding documents, which is exactly why we wrote this new book. Here’s the scoop from the Press Release. New Book Offers Constitutional Edu-tainment 
 The historically accurate and decidedly entertaining owner’s manual, The Constitution – A […]

CCRKBA Rips Media For Telling Only Part Of Story About Mall Hero

BELLEVUE, WA – The “mainstream press” is once again trying to spin away from positive coverage about armed citizens and the fallacy of so-called “gun-free zones” in its reports about the St. Cloud, Minnesota mall shooting and the hero shooter, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today. “There have […]

The Great Maryland Gun Law Secession

The Great Maryland Gun Law Secession

This article originally appeared at Ammoland. By Tom McHale USA –-(Ammoland.com)- Are you allowed to secede from the state in which you grew up? I know “secede” is a scary word that you normally hear from extremists, but I’m not going to make my secession that big a deal. I mean, it’s not like I’m […]

Concealed Carriers Are Thugs

January 29, 2016 By Tom McHale 1 Comment

Concealed Carriers Are Thugs

This article originally appeared at Ammoland. Listening to the nightly news, I’ve come to the conclusion that people with concealed carry permits must be thugs, murderers, and possibly the worst sort of nefarious individuals. Remember Boris Badenov? Yeah, he’s that evil mastermind from the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. I think CCW permit holders are way […]

Is Jeb Bush Really Pro-Gun?

Is Jeb Bush Really Pro-Gun?

This article originally appeared at OutdoorHub. While Jeb is taking a bullying from some of the other candidates (read Donald Trump), he’s hanging in there like a sweaty leather heavy bag. Even though his poll numbers are in the low single digits, he seems to be sticking in this race, likely because his campaign appears […]

Is Ted Cruz Really Pro-Gun?

January 8, 2016 By Tom McHale Leave a Comment

Is Ted Cruz Really Pro-Gun?

This article originally appeared at OutdoorHub. Hmmm. Ted Cruz. Elected to the United States Senate in 2012, Cruz currently represents the Great State of Texas. While one can never fully believe a politician unless their lips aren’t moving, Cruz is arguably the most pro-gun rights Presidential candidate we’ve looked at thus far. Let’s take a […]

Is Ben Carson Really Pro-Gun?

December 7, 2015 By Tom McHale 1 Comment

Is Ben Carson Really Pro-Gun?

Like the Donald, Ben Carson does not have the voting record of a career politician. Heck, that’s probably a good thing. I might even vote for a can of spackle over most any career politician. Since we can’t look at voting records in Candidate Carson’s case, we’ll take a close look at what he’s said […]

Is Donald Trump Really Pro-Gun?

November 25, 2015 By Tom McHale 3 Comments

Is Donald Trump Really Pro-Gun?

We’re going to do a series to dig a little deeper on each Republican candidate to find out their real positions on the Second Amendment. Given politicians’ expertise in the art of double-speak, this undertaking might be tougher than nailing jelly to a wall, but we’re going to give it our best. Why only Republican […]

About Tom McHale…

Hello, my name is Tom McHale. I'm the creator and primary author of the Insanely Practical Guides series of how-to books.

I also write lot's of articles for various shooting related magazines and websites. You'll find my work at Shooting Illustrated, Concealed Carry Magazine, Tactical Retailer Magazine, Beretta USA, OutdoorHub, GunsAmerica, American Handgunner Magazine, Bearing Arms, AmmoLand, The National Shooting Sports Foundation, Grand View Outdoors, and Shooting Sports Retailer Magazine.

I help explain complicated things in a fun and easy-to-understand way. I believe that things don't have to be so complicated, although I suppose excessive techno-jargon keeps lots of well-intentioned lawyers in business.

If you want to learn about the world of guns, shooting and the American way, check out some of my books. Have a laugh or two.
