When my former Confederate Yankee co-blogger, Bob Owens, recently contacted me about writing for his newest Internet endeavor, Bearing Arms.com, I was pleased to agree to provide content when I can. My first article is available here.
It’s a basic primer of shotgun patterning that will look familiar to regular readers. You’ll also find the comments–interesting. Some of those commenting apparently aren’t used to reading carefully–or even completely–and are a bit prone to name-calling. Oh well. I knew the bed was on fire when I lay down on it.
Stop by if you can and visit the site in general when you have a chance.

“Some of those commenting apparently aren’t used to reading carefully–or even completely–and are a bit prone to name-calling.”
I think the term is close reading if we apply the common-core standards.
One other thought that wasn’t included in your review. A shotgun requires the use of two hands and a shoulder to have any chance at accuracy. A handgun requires only one hand.
and a rifle does a lot of damage to the shoulder because of kickback. :) A pistol is a lot easier to handle.
Read the article and the comments, you can’t please everyone mate. Shotguns for home defence? Well I don’t own a gun, I flinch a lot, but I’d go for a sawnoff Rem870 in .410, with a Pachmyr Vindicator set, and stoked with solids great for an explosive enema. Illegal you say? Well so is burglary.
You better hope you don’t hit anything, or can hide the evidence, because the local police will not be amused…
They certainly seem to prefer heat & light to logic. :)
For what it’s worth, you might mention to Bob that the comments over there don’t show in Firefox, at least not for me. I just upgraded to version 24 tonight. They showed just fine in IE 10 (64 bit). Google Chrome v29 showed them as well.
