Dr. Mike Ackermann is one of my favourite people. He's intelligent and has a heart bigger than the Atlantic ocean. He's on the Board of Directors of the Canadian Shooting Sports Association (CSSA) and devotes incredible amounts of time, energy and money to defending our firearm rights. He's also mischieveous and willing to put Government in its place without a moment's … [Read more...]
Airdrie liquor store Clerk turns the tables on would-be armed robber
An article in the Calgary Sun titled "Airdrie liquor store Clerk fights back during attempted armed robbery" shows there are still MEN in the world willing to stand up for what is right.

Firearms 101: Welcome to the Firearms Community by Dr. Mike Ackermann
The following is from a post on Facebook by Dr. Mike Ackermann in response to a question from a new shooter about what she should do before purchasing her first firearm. I believe it is a "must-read" for everyone, shooter or not. 1) All lawful shooters are our friends. I support them all, even if someone else's sport is something I do not personally like.

As I wrote yesterday, gold-medal sport shooters Chris Baldwin, 18, and Sabrina Sergeant, 17, were told they were not welcome as Ambassadors to promote the … [Read more...]
Ontario Summer Games Committee to award-winning target shooters: You’re Not Welcome Here
Politicians and bureaucrats have an incredible talent for sending precisely the wrong message. In this regard the Government of Ontario and the City of Toronto have combined for a new all-time low: blaming two award-winning sport shooting youths for Toronto’s ongoing gun and gang crime problem. Chris Baldwin, 18, and Sabrina Sergeant, 17, are both very accomplished … [Read more...]
Self-Defense: A Tale of Two Police Forces and how they deal with citizen self-defense
The response to armed self-defense in the home during a home invasion is so different in Canada and America that it borders on the bizarre. I’ll use a recent example of the case of a 14-year-old boy in Phoenix, Arizona to make my case. First I will explain the facts of the case, then I’ll delve into the response of the Phoenix Police Department and then, finally, explain … [Read more...]
Wendy Cukier & Heidi Rathjen, Join The Gun Registration Certificate Burning Party!
That's right... folks across the nation are having parties to burn their long gun registration certificates. It's the best way I can think of to celebrate one small step in the proper direction for the rights of Canadians when it comes to firearms. I wish I'd thought of it before I received Mike Ackermann's photos. All of mine apparently had an accident involving a … [Read more...]
Victoria Police Department Constable Mike Russell needs to learn the law
A recent news report in the Victoria Times Colonist showed just how incompetent Constable Mike Russell, and indeed the entire Victoria Police Department is. Instead of commending a man for removing firearms from his home during a dispute with his roommate, the police arrested him, seized his firearms and threatened to charge him with firearm offenses. The problem with … [Read more...]
