Yesterday was Day 3, here are the stats from the day: 10.6 miles walked (33.5 miles total) Two comms/marketing classes taken with tons of information I am probably up to about 10 new patches – I need a better strategy next year. AND, don’t judge me, I am down $170 (I think I learned my lesson). I find it interesting that as each day passes, I find new portions of the venue that include new exhibits. Realize, I don’t intentionally go looking for these areas, I kind of just stumble upon them. Ultimately, this means that I still have not…

Like yesterday, let’s start with the stats: I walked a little slower yesterday, only clocking 9.5 miles (22.8 mi total) One class and one press conference AND, I am UP $500, but down $80 cash, more later. If you will believe it, I still have not even made it to another floor to see the exhibits there. I stayed on the same floor because there was still so much to take in. For example, I stopped at the GLOCK booth on Tuesday and didn’t see much, but yesterday, I saw their prototype performance trigger. For a brand that believes, “If…

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_Uf8uUVc800 Let’s start with the stats for the day: More than a half marathon walked (13.3 miles to be exact) Two marketing classes taken to create an even better customer experience. Saw at least 100 booths, but still haven’t scratched the surface of everything. I am probably up to about 5 or 6 new patches (rookie numbers). AND, most importantly, I am already down $50 which is all I have played. Tough luck. My first impression of SHOT Show is that it is wildly overstimulating and much more grandiose than I imagined. I knew that SHOT was big, but I…

Stepping away from the usual political commentary and press releases, I wanted to take the opportunity to speak on a more personal level and document my first experience traveling to SHOT Show hosted by NSSF. 

In my personal life, I am actually a Nevada native. I lived right outside of Las Vegas in Henderson. My grandmother was a legend there with a personal parking space at several casinos. However, we left when I was five, so I can’t wait to truly experience my “hometown” for the first time.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 13, 2022 Nicholas A. LaheraPublic Relations [email protected] (352) 634-2348 Pattaya, Thailand – Martin and Diego Reyna, competitive shooters sponsored by Big Daddy Unlimited, recently competed in the IPSC World Shoot. The competition, featuring more than 1600 shooters from 50 countries, was held November 27th -December 2nd and consisted of six challenging days and 30 practical shooting courses, called “stages.”  https://youtu.be/Nl-VnhbM0hA Martin, a 9-year-old shooting prodigy, won the IPSC President’s Medal as the youngest competitor at the event and finished 1st Place in the Super Junior Division. Diego, Martin’s father, finished an impressive 18th Overall in the…

In the latest publicity stunt act of heroism for the always vigilant Biden Administration, they courageously liberated imprisoned and incredibly brave WNBA star, Brittney Griner, from the atrocities of a Russian gulag. I lack any doubt that this valiant effort showed Putin who was in charge and ensured that all of our adversaries understand the immense stature that our Commander-in-Chief holds on the world stage. Give me a break. The reality is that we made a prisoner swap to receive our petty-crime-charged professional basketball player and in return sent their notorious arms dealer, prolific anti-aircraft weapons smuggler, terrorist promoter, their…

Only a patronizing, politically-motivated, dark money machine like the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence could make the January 6 events at the Capitol about the disarmament of our population and erosion of our civil liberties. January 6, 2021 was many things: a failure of security, a call for electoral reform (though done in an improper fashion), and, at its worst, a lawless approach to exercising the First Amendment that nobody, including President Trump, has glorified. What it is not, however, is an excuse to fabricate yet another fear mongering leftist outrage mob surrounding lawful gun ownership. If you haven’t…
