Today I added a shoulder strap to the holster so I can wear it that way. The strap was from a MidwayUSA magazine storage pouch and has spring clips on the ends. To make attachment points on the holster I added a couple of zip ties.
It contains the gun, spare magazine, cleaning rod, and a Ballistol wipe which can be cut down into cleaning patches if needed. The idea behind this is that if this was all I could grab in a hurry or if I'm traveling light I'd still have the bare minimum to maintain the gun for awhile in the field.
I might add a loop or strap to the bottom so I can then secure it to my belt while wearing it like a tanker holster. This would keep it in place while drawing the gun. (I want the shoulder strap because wearing a rig like this on my belt would drag down my pants due to my lack of a butt, unless I wear suspenders.)

But walking around the retail district near the Hotel Carmichael that night, something felt too poised, too polished, too perfect. Every surface considered, every business in its right place. Real places have friction — a hardware store next to a wine bar next to a laundromat. Buildings from different eras that don’t quite agree, businesses that are there because someone needed them rather than because they completed a vision.You should RTWT.
A couple years later Margaret and I visited Epcot, as our son was proposing to his girlfriend there. Walking around, I recognized exactly what Carmel had been doing. Epcot is a controlled environment engineered to deliver the sensation of place without the inconvenience of actual place. Themed zones connected by optimized infrastructure, every experience crafted, nothing unplanned, nothing that jars.
I share his feelings, which is why it makes me ill that they're trying to Carmel-ify my beloved Broad Ripple.
In 1934, the National Firearms Act (NFA) was passed by Congress. The bill which became law was a consolation prize for the Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) administration. The primary purpose of licensing and registration of all handguns had been stripped from the bill because of lobbying by the NRA and Second Amendment supporters. One of the items left in the bill was an absurdly high tax on silencers/suppressors. The $200 tax was the equivalent of five months wages for a person earning minimum wage.
Silencers had never been involved much in crime. No serious reason is included in legislative history for the inclusion of silencers in the NFA. Their ban was part of the hysteria of the time. The new Attorney General, Homer Cummings, conflated guns and crime. The NFA was his grab for power within the FDR administration.
In 1934, when what was left of the National Firearms Act made silencers unaffordable except for the very rich, the law was relatively limited. It only applied to silencers which had crossed state lines. If you made your own silencer, it was not involved in interstate commerce, so the federal law did not apply. It was the middle of the depression, and people were too concerned with having enough to eat and a roof over their heads to be worried about a silly new federal law.
All of that changed over the next 50 years. The Interstate Commerce clause and the National Firearms Act of 1934 were expanded far, far beyond what had been the original boundaries. Short barreled rifles came to include pistols with shoulder stocks. Short barreled shotguns came to include revolvers with shot cartridges and a smooth bore. The Interstate commerce clause came to include almost everything. Bureaucracies came to be the dominant ruling force in most people's lives.
Many states came to mirror federal law about silencers and other items regulated by the National Firearms Act. This served two purposes. It tied state and federal law together so that court challenges had to overcome both state and federal defenses. It provided a way for state and local law officials to prosecute people for what had been made a crime by the National Firearms Act.
By 2000, inflation had eroded the insanely high $200 tax on silencer ownership to the merely extreme one week's minimum wage. The truth about silencers and their many beneficial uses was being exposed.
By 2020, the fight to restore Second Amendment rights was in full swing in the courts. In 2025, the $200 tax on silencers was eliminated by statute. In 2026 there are several lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the inclusion of silencers, short barreled rifles and short barreled shotguns in the NFA.
If the federal law is removed, state laws which reinforced the NFA create a trap. If a law requires compliance with an NFA rule which no longer exists, hundreds of thousands could become felons overnight, without any action on their part. Fortunately, several states are taking action to prevent this legal disaster.
Texas eliminated their requirement to comply with the federal law on silencers in 2021. Mississippi passed a similar bill in 2023, which is contingent on the state of federal silencer law. Montana passed a bill eliminating the federal requirement in 2025. Here is the Montana provision:
45-8-336. Possession of silencer. (1) A person commits the offense of possession of a silencer if the person possesses, manufactures, transports, buys, or sells a silencer and has the purpose to use it to commit an offense or knows that another person has such a purpose.
South Dakota eliminated the requirement for federal compliance in 2026. Other states have bills in progress. They are:
Arizona, SB1069 in process.
Missouri, a bill is in progress, SB273.
Ohio, Senate Bill 214 in process.
Analysis:
The trend is in favor of removing silencers from the NFA and of eliminating unnecessary state regulation as well. It is plausible the Supreme Court will eventually issue an opinion to the effect silencers/suppressors are arms protected by the Second Amendment. The Supreme Court moves slowly. The court has a hundred times more demand on its time than it has time. Restoration of rights protected by the Second Amendment is happening, but it all takes time. The information above is not comprehensive. State laws are changing rapidly. Use the comments to add information about bills and statutes not mentioned in the article.

I had the opportunity t yesterday to talk with a young man who is jus beginning his military education. He had questions and I did what I could to answer them. We talked about national strategy, failures in leadership, political will, logistics, all the big picture things that determine success or failure on a large scale. Not winning battles, but winning wars.
This was not a discussion that any soldier might have at the company, brigade or division level. This was deeper, something that we might study ant the Command and General Staff College, or the War College. Deep questions about national resolve and logistics on a grand scale.
It was a very interesting conversation, both in the depths of his inquiries and his grasp of broad principles. I hope that my meager efforts helped to broaden his understanding, or at least to motivate him to seek deeper understanding.

In the ongoing study of how effective handguns are when used as a defense against bears, this correspondent posted an article on AmmoLand showing the distribution of the number of shots fired vs the number of cases. The most common case was one shot fired, with the least common cases having the most shots fired. On examining the data, there is a significant difference noted among bears species.
In cases involving brown bears, grizzly bears, Kodiak bears, (ursus arctos) more shots are fired per case.
There are 109 total handgun only cases involving ursus arctos, of which 93 cases had known shot numbers. One case had an indeterminant outcome. There was 1 failure. 1 case was indeterminant because both handgun and bear spray were used and it could not be determined which weapon was decisive.
As in the previous article, the largest number of cases were with one shot fired, but the percentages were different for brown bears. As with the previous article, unavoidable selection bias will tend to exclude successful warning shots, because many will not think it necessary to report incidents where no bear or human was injured. Of the 93 cases where the number of shots fired is known or reasonably inferred, the distribution is as follows:
1 shot - 18 cases or 19.4% of the cases where the number of shots is known. 5 cases involved a warning shot(s). 4 of the warning shot cases were successful. In one case where one handgun shot was fired, killing the bear, two warning
shots were fired with a .22 rimfire rifle. Those shots were unsuccessful. It was decided to include the case because the .22 rifle shots were not effective and not aimed at the bear.
2 shots -11 or 11.8% of cases where the number of shots is known. 8 cases involved warnings shots. There were 5 cases where the warning shots were successful, in 2 of those cases, the success was temporary. There were 4 cases where warning shots 4 were unsuccessful, in one case the effect of warning shot(s) was unknown, 1 case had an indeterminate outcome.
3 shots - 10 or 10.8% of cases where the number of shots is known. In 1 case warning shots were successful. In one case the defensive firing of shots failed, involving a .357 magnum in Alaska.
4 shots - 12 or 12.9% of cases where the number of shots is known. Two cases involved warning shots. 1 was temporarily successful and 2 were unsuccessful. In two cases, two handguns were involved.
5 shots - 11 or 11.8% of cases where the number of shots is known. 3 cases involved warning shots, 2 were successful, 1 temporarily, 2 unsuccessful.
6 shots - 9 or 9.7% of cases where the number of shots is known. 3 warning shots cases were successful, 1 temporarily, 1 unsuccessful.
69 cases of six shots or less, or 76.3% of the total for Grizzly bears, where the number of shots is known.
7 shots - 6 cases or 6.5% of cases where the number of shots is known. 1 case involved a warning shot case, which was temporarily successful and then unsuccessful.
8 shots - 5 cases or 5.4% of cases where the number of shots is known. No warning shot cases
9 shots - 2 cases or 2.2% of cases where the number of shots is known. No warning shot cases
10 shots 4 cases or 4.3% of cases where the number of shots is known. 1 warning shot case, unsuccessful.
12 shots 1 case or 1.1% of cases where the number of shots is known. No warning shots
15 shots 1 case or 1.1% of cases where the number of shots is known. No warning shots
16 shots 1 case or 1.1% of cases where the number of shots is known. No warning shots, 2 handguns were involved.
19 shots 1 case or 1.1% of cases where the number of shots is known. No warning shots, 3 handguns were involved.
31 shots 1 case or 1.1% of cases where the number of shots is known. No warning shots, 2 handguns were involved.
There were no cases where 11, 13, 14, 17, 18 or 20-30 shots were fired in the cases documented at the time of this writing.
There were 16 cases where the number of shots was not known. There were 3 warning shot cases, 1 successful, 1 unsuccessful, 1 unknown. In two of the cases more than one handgun was involved.
It is not surprising that brown, grizzly and Kodiak (ursus arctos) bears take more shots per case. The difference is not tremendously large compared to the total. But ursus arctos makes up the majority of cases, which skews the results toward the ursus arctos numbers. In the future we will look at the numbers for black bears and polar bears. In both cases, the number of shots per case are significantly lower than for ursus arctos.
If you wish to read about each case individually, they are available from the following links:
Last full list, published on June 2021, 104 incidents.

According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, a man wearing gloves and a mask entered the home through a back door, waking the homeowner. Deputies said three other adults and two children were also inside.
A sheriff's office spokesperson said the suspect and the homeowner got into a fight that escalated outside. Investigators said the suspect left but later returned, escalating the situation further.
"At some point, the homeowner retrieved a handgun and shot the suspect, who then fled and leaped across the fence into the walking trail where he was found," a sheriff's office spokesperson said.
Officers responded just before noon Wednesday to the 3000 block of S. Cashua Drive, according to police. The initial investigation revealed that Eaddy had kicked in the door of the home and was shot by a resident after entering.
Police said none of the residents of the home were injured. Eaddy’s body is scheduled for an autopsy at the Medical University of South Carolina.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he thinks Russia's conflict with Ukraine is coming to an end, addressing reporters after a scaled-back military parade in Moscow marking the Soviet victory in World War Two.
"I think that the matter is coming to an end," he said, referring to the "special military operation" in Ukraine, while condemning Western support for the Kyiv government.
Russia's annual parade lacked the usual display of tanks and missiles, due to security concerns as authorities feared Ukraine might target Red Square with drones.
A last-minute ceasefire between Moscow and Kyiv, brokered by US President Donald Trump, reduced the danger of any attack and the parade passed off without incident.
Of course, Putin has talked peace before and it meant nothing. But if Trump's efforts lead to peace, the Democrats will lose it even more than they have already
