NR Law Class Opinion I would have to say that I was quite skeptical when first signing up for this class last fall. I was under the assumption that we would be covering game and fish law throughout the course, but that was not case. Instead we got the valuable opportunity to meet many of the conservation officers who work locally. I know credit limits are getting pushed further and further at these two year technical colleges, but I feel there should be a class solely for the learning of the…

Late in December 2015 my father and I were looking for something new we could do together. We both have always been interested in target and tactical training with handguns. In late January of 2015 my father and I signed up for a gun safety class at The Place To Shoot in Portland, Oregon. They supplied a multitude of different handguns to learn with as part of the training. You did not have own a handgun. In February of 2016, we started to spend two to three days a month working with the…

advanced in literature, the decorative arts, and painting, which flourished under the rule of the Ming, and later Ming goods were in high demand, when trading goods between countries. From Gunpowder to Guns: Gunpowder was first used to excavate mines, build canals, channel irrigation, set off fireworks, and kill off disease-carrying bugs. But later, the Chinese put the gunpowder into long tubes, which was used to threaten their opponent. Gunpowder was used to explosives, catapults, and mostly…

Exactly how safe can a person really be? All over the nation, Americans are protected by armed guards that defend them from criminals. Americans protect their banks with armed guards, protect the presidents with armed guards, congressman have armed guards in front of their buildings. The National Rifle Association (NRA) published a video clip on YouTube called “NRA Stand and Fight: America Speaks for Itself”. This purpose of this video is to explain why there should be guns in schools. The NRA…

They call me a rifle, but I feel unneeded. I am so tired of my owner. She is always so rude and hands me off to all of her friends. Her friends then drop me. Without a doubt most of her friends toss me with no technique and always drop me. If they don’t know how to toss me then they shouldn’t. First of all, I find it so ironic people like throwing heavier, shorter equipment if they can’t even properly throw and catch a longer, lighter pole. They expect people to do better with me, but trust…

Self defense is more than just carrying a gun for safety or knowing how to fight back. It revolves around being aware, thinking smart, and taking extra precautions for safety. Everyday habits that people don’t even think twice about could be the one reason that makes them a target. Any scenario is possible no matter how harmless a person seems. Having knowledge in self defense plays a big part in keeping citizens from being potential targets to actual victims. According to The National…

be best to make a commemorative coin to honor the Magazine. The Magazine was important during Colonial times because it held many weapons. The soldiers needed a quick place to go to store up on weapons for huge wars. It held many weapons such as cannons, muskets, pistols, swords and rifles. It also held axes, flints, shot bags, cannonballs, and lead. If the Magazine was on a commemorative coin, then many people could see how important the Magazine was in Colonial Williamsburg and what it was…

History of a Trebuchet The trebuchet was a devastating weapon for its time. It could put a hole in a fortress or any strong hold. Some defenders would even surrender when they saw the siege engine being constructed. It has been through almost all of history from as far back as 300 B.C. Although many believe that the trebuchet was invented by the Greeks it was in fact invented by the Chinese to increase their military strength and with strategy. At first it was smaller and much more portable but…

Many people assume that guns are dangerous because of all the controversy that comes with them. I myself have never thought negatively about guns unless they are used in an unsafe manner. I grew up knowing guns are dangerous, but I was fortunate to have a family that taught me the good and bad and how to properly use them. According to pewsocialtrends.org, 95% of gun owners believe it is essential for gun owners with children to talk to their children about gun safety. For those who view…

Statistics: The Centers for Disease Control listed firearms as the #12 cause of all deaths between 1999 and 2013. They were also the #1 method of death by homicide (66.6% of all homicides) and by suicide (52.2% of all suicides). The biggest argument for guns are for self-defense. People use this argument to justify why gun control would be bad when in reality guns are rarely used for self defense. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, of the 29,618,300 violent crimes committed between…
