Public Poll: At what age do you believe people should start teaching their kids about gun safety?

As soon as your child can physically pull a trigger, is it not time to teach them safe gun handling?

Procrastination in teaching your kids or securing your firearms can easily end in tragedy whether at home or at their friends. If you have kids too young to teach gun safety, be sure to use a gun vault or similar storage device for your smaller weapons and handguns next to the bed, etc. These make them secure and reasonably accessible to you. They also aren’t that expensive. Certainly cheaper than the potential consequences. Practice testing them weekly and replace batteries as needed. Rifles should be locked in a gun cabinet or secured with other types of gun locks to help keep curious little fingers away.

What is the best resource online to always find current information on current Montana gun laws?

DISCLAIMER: Most gun laws are unconstitutional in my opinion. And I am not attorney, nor have I ever played one on TV. Contact an attorney if you can’t find answers about gun laws regardless of what you find below or what members might share in the comments below this post!

Where do you look first if you have any questions about current Montana gun laws?

The State of Montana’s Frequently Asked Firearms Questions Page has not been updated yet since one of our most pro-gun legislative sessions we’ve had in decades what with the passage by voters of LR-130 and passage of pro-gun bills like HB102, HB258 and several others. Hopefully they’ll get around to it because it’s historically been the best. The best current resources I am quickly able to find are at The NRA-ILA and at Frontier Carry. Find both of those resources embedded below.

What is the best handgun to use for dry fire training systems like Mantis X?

Train Daily with the gun you plan to carry or at least one very similar!

With the unprecedented ammo shortages we have now in 2021, shooters serious about keeping their skills tuned in have transitioned most, if not all of their range time, to dry fire training and systems like the Mantis X Dry Fire Training System & Training Aids for Home & Range Use.

Many might now say what they thought was a ridiculous, unnecessary, or even worst feature of a striker fired handgun, being a double strike or re-strike capable, has quickly become a favorite when racking a slide three hundred times with their Glock slows down training because it hurts!

One of the best guns for the money in my opinion, especially for price and availability and considering it’s close similarity to Glock feel and trigger is a Taurus G3C or even the G2C. Both of these cheaper guns, even cheaper than some realistic training guns feature a double strike or re-strike feature. Basically a double action striker fired pistol that you don’t have to rack the slide each time before your next dry fire shot.

After testing the Mantis X2 for strictly dry fire training, I have now purchased and am very happy with the Mantis X Laser Academy Kit to help with shot placement. The Taurus and those like them give us the ability to get more trigger time without tearing our hands up or having to wear one glove just to rack a slide or have to add a charging device like the Recover Tactical Charging Handles For Glocks just to enable easier charging.

Discuss your dry fire training preferences in the comments below.

Video: Understand why some say you might NOT want to train with the re-strike or double strike feature for carry purposes.

Consider yourself challenged to set a daily reminder on your mobile device to take 20 dry fire training shots sometime during the day AFTER YOU CLEAR YOUR WEAPON! Mine is set to 4:06
