We are currently in a culture war regarding guns. One side wants to showcase them as “evil, dangerous and there’s no need of them in society,” while the other side displays them as “fun hobbies, skill builders, and tools to take responsibility for their own and their family’s safety.” While you most likely will never convince an anti-gunner to change their tune, you can help some fence sitters move in the right direction.

Armed with numbers and facts you can help educate all the new gun owners—about 5 million of them in 2020, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation. You can help them confirm and solidify that they made the right choice. With the April/May issue in hand you can better explain to people why you carry, and why you have a home-defense gun and plan.

In this issue, author David Campbell explains the advantages of the old-school revolver over modern semi-autos, contributor John Phillips discusses the top ten questions asked about women’s personal safety with Beth Alcazar, Fred Mastison tries out Leupold’s new DeltaPoint Micro, and Martin Topper rounds up some of Smith & Wesson’s most iconic revolvers for us that not only look great but shoot superbly!
