I am honored to be one of the few selected folks in the industry to help promote Glock's Safety Pledge during this month of June. It's simple and it's completely free.

Head over to http://us.glock.com/safetypledge to sign up and show your support for firearms safety. Below is the video that Glock is pushing out to all its customers.

I've been on the road for three weeks traveling and am finally back home for a few days before my next trip. I'll be posting more updates here on my blog to chronicle the fun times I've had but for now, here's this week's Second Scoop!

I discuss how Gov. Chris Christie pardoned Steffon Josey-Davis which is great news, but is it politically motivated?

A man wanting to protect his daughter while escorting her to the Atlanta airport arrives with a slung AR-15 and 100 round drum. While it was completely legal, was it really a good idea?

We have another great Good Guy with a Gun story and we cap this week off with a fun video of Iraqveteran8888​ and me shooting a .50BMG rifle.

(Ammoland.com)- Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the distinct pleasure of getting to know competitive shooter and chef Chris Cheng.

You might remember him from his Top Shot Season Four victory.

If you read on, you’ll also learn that he won the annual Professional Outdoor Media Association’s Top Chef title. Seems he’s just an all-around top guy, and one of the nicest folks you’ll ever meet. Oh, one more thing, he’s now a published author with the recent release of his new book Shoot to Win.

I thought it would be fun to con Chris into an interview so you can get to know him a little better and learn what a great ambassador he is for the shooting sports.

Don’t tell him this is an interview, I told him my Mom wanted some background info before inviting him over for a meatloaf supper…

AmmoLand: We all know that shows like Top Shot are heavily edited, so we want some insider scoop about some of the stuff that happened that didn’t make the final edit cuts. Since all the competitors share a house, you must know who sleeps with a security blankie. Fess up, who?

Chris Cheng: Tom, I told you about my blankie in confidence. Will I ever be able to trust you again? Buy me a bourbon the next time we hang out and the answer is yes.

There are two main things that I think are worth mentioning. First, viewers got to watch all the exciting parts when the reality was we were sitting around waiting for stuff to happen most of the time. The entire competition took six weeks and we were cooped up in the Top Shot house the entire time. We’d wake up, get ready, and then it would just be a waiting game to find out when we’d be going down to the Top Shot range or take care of interviews. The moments where we’d actually get to shoot something were of course very exciting because we’d be deprived of it for so many hours.
