For Home Security, Good Judgment Must Accompany a Gun by the Bedside
Clint Smith, President and Director of Thunder Ranch Training Center, talks about owning a firearm for the purpose of home security and personal protection. If someone were to enter your home with the intent to do harm to you or your family, having a gun by the bedside and reacting just won't cut it--you need good judgment, too. Clint suggests that to stay safe you need a plan and plenty of practice. There are no "do-overs."

ATF to Not Move Forward with 5.56 M855 Ammo Ban at This Time
ATF has announced that it will not move forward with its proposed framework to ban commonplace 5.56 M855 "green tip" ammunition at this time and will review the record number (more than 80,000) comments it has received so far. ATF will continue to accept comments through March 16. NSSF encourages target shooters, hunters and gun owners to contact your Member of Congress AND the ATF to oppose this unnecessary ban. Read more about ATF's decision from NSSF.
