My first "real" gun was a Ruger 10/22, which shoots 22 long rifle, while my first concealed carry pistol was a Smith & Wesson 9mm Shield. My grandfather owns a varmint gun chambered in 22 Mag, which we often shot growing up.
To say I have a lot of experience with both calibers as a gun owner is an understatement. |

Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! The Frankenau Purse Gun was a highly unusual concealed carry pistol patented in 1876. Hidden inside what appeared to be a normal ladies’ coin purse, one side flipped open to reveal a 5-shot pinfire revolver. The purse’s other side functioned normally with accordion pockets for money. A hinged muzzle cover and folding trigger kept the purse gun’s true nature concealed until needed. To fire, the user released a catch to open the revolver compartment and extend the trigger. Frankenau’s clever design provided surreptitious self-defense in a compact package. |

Colorado gun owners would be barred from carrying firearms in a wide array of public places in the state, under a Democratic bill recently introduced at the state capitol.

It would apply to both concealed and open carry.

If you aren’t familiar with tip-up guns, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Before learning about the Girsan MC 14T, I knew nothing about them. I vaguely remember seeing old Beretta tip-ups, which came and went before I was into firearms. I have a thing for pretty pistols, so when EAA asked if I wanted to take the Lady Tip-Up for a spin, the answer was an enthusiastic “yes!” After spending some time with this unique gun, I have some thoughts, so let’s dive in.

The mallards took a quick look at the spread and kept on booking. They were high in the sky with the afterburners on. Maybe they were en route to yesterday’s buffet, or maybe they saw something they didn’t quite like. It didn’t matter ’cause your guide hit ’em with a mix of calls. There were a few comebacks, a begging hail call and when they got closer the quacks and contented feeding chuckle sucked ’em in. In waterfowl hunting, everyone works together as a team and here are some things your guide would love you to do. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
