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, […]

Do Silencers Really “Silence?”

October 3, 2017 By Tom McHale 4 Comments

Do Silencers Really “Silence?”

Here’s a quick public service announcement. There’s a lot of pure garbage floating around television and the internet about the Hearing Protection Act. Strangely, those opposed believe that suppressors / silencers work just like in the movies. Imagine that. Here’s a quick reference to show how much noise suppressed guns really make.

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 […]

What Can We Really Expect From President-elect Trump in 2017?

December 2, 2016 By Tom McHale 2 Comments

What Can We Really Expect From President-elect Trump in 2017?

This article originally appeared at Ammoland. USA –-(Ammoland.com)- If you’ve been listening to the NBC and CNN news reports after the election, you’d think that the Trump administration is going to launch some pretty outlandish initiatives, even by reality television standards. Watching the endless parade of fearful snowflakes and those throwing public tantrums because their […]

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 […]

If Hillary Wins…

If Hillary Wins…

This article originally appeared at AmmoLand. By Tom McHale USA –-(Ammoland.com)- Personally, I think that if Hillary wins, Jupiter will veer wildly off course and crash right into Toad Suck, Arkansas. Admittedly, that’s more of an opinion than a scientific fact, although I might be willing to bet a fiver on it. Recently, a friend […]

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 […]

The Prying Business of Facebook and Guns

The Prying Business of Facebook and Guns

This article originally appeared at AmmoLand. Some guy who fondles an inflatable spheroid with his feet gets 23.2 times more love from Facebook than all the fans of the National Rifle Association combined. True or False? We’ll answer that question in a minute. For now, let’s talk about the realities of this most recent Facebook […]

Concealed Carriers Are Thugs

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 […]

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.
