Just days after Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his actress cousin unveiled gun control legislation dressed up as a carrot and stick approach to get states to report more mental health information to the National Instant Check System, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, has come out with a counter proposal that has the dual benefit of insuring those who should be included in the NICS database are reported while at the same time protecting millions of Social Security recipients who also have a "representative payee," as well as veterans who aren't managing their own affairs.

In response to killing of the Zimbabwe lion known as "Cecil," Sen. Bob Menedez, D-N.J., rushed to ban bringing trophies from hunts back into the country. While that would not prevent Americans who desire to hunt African big game from doing so, it would likely make the practice less desirable if they could not import mounts back into this country. Now Delta Airlines has posted a notice that they will not allow African big game trophies to be transported on their flights.

The events surrounding M855 ammunition earlier this year point toward a more fundamental problem with federal gun control that will not go away with the tabling of one bad proposal or the departure of another BATFE official. That problem arises from two words: "sporting purposes."

There is plenty of lore surrounding the Mozambique Drill. That's to be expected with anything that includes both Col. Jeff Cooper and African mercenaries. But, overall, the drill itself is much simpler than its colorful past suggests. Simply put, the defensive pistol drill involves placing two shots to the chest and one to the head.

However, getting access to hunt private land is another good option that can lead to some great opportunities. Obviously, you'll want to gain access to land with good hunting prospects.
