First Woman in 54 Years to Appear on Guns & Ammo Magazine Cover

You've heard more than once I'm sure that women are the fastest growing segment of the firearms community.  Guns and Ammo Magazine has noticed and just made conservative talk show host Dana Loesch the first woman in 54 years to appear on the cover of its June issue.

Loesch talked about the honor at the NRA Annual Meetings in April.

Guns and Ammo sat down with Loesch for a 25 questions interview where she shared her insights on various topics such as her personally owned firearms, her favorite Founding Father, the controversy surrounding 3D-printed guns and the future of gun ownership in America.

You can get a copy of the issue now at your favorite magazine seller or directly from Guns and Ammo.

Shotgun Self Defense

This morning's Guns and Ammo E-Newsletter had this article about the Mossberg's 590A1 pump shotgun. The article talks about how the 590A1 may just be a perfect choice for enforcing the "Castle Doctrine."

Shotguns have long been the gold standard for self-defense (or offense) in close quarters, and with good reason. Handguns are handy, but nothing says hello like a 12 gauge. The Mossberg 590A1 sits high on--if not atop--the list of pump-action home-defense possibilities. The gun is available in dozens of configurations and has inspired a long list of accessories that make it particularly suited for repelling boarders.

It is easily customized to your personal preferences and an MSRP of less than $550, this shotgun makes home self defense affordable.
