While the right to keep and bear arms is under serious assault at the federal level, many states are swinging exactly the other direction—toward less regulation and expanded freedom. For PDW readers who live in states that don’t recognize the right to carry without having to secure a permit, it’s time to contact your lawmakers and let them know you want them to jump on the constitutional carry train with the other 21 states who recognize freedom without restrictions.
With that being said, we decided to put together a special issue for all the supporters of the Second Amendment. We teamed up with the largest exporter of military small arms, FN Herstal, to bring our readers a limited edition “mini magazine” highlighting the FN 509 family. We’re highlighting the history, the evolution of each series, and discussing its pivotol role in ushering in the future of firearms.
Also in this issue, author Mike Detty shows off the new Taurus optics ready option that is an affordable carry handgun, Andy Grossman gives you a detailed look at the super versatile TacRig Holster System, contributor Michael D’Angona shows you the sweet 16 of hideaway boot knives, and Gordon Smith shares some key points to safely educating the next generation of new shooters.
