ABC News recently set up in a San Antonio gun shop and put in some actors to create a scene where a concerned woman questions a father buying his young son a firearm. 

I learned how to shoot when I was six years old, and my father taught me how to shoot. He trusted me to follow the rules and know where our firearms were stored in the house. 

Here's the ABC News segment, do the results surprise you?

This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. I was recently in Houston for a photo shoot and someone brought a Smith & Wesson .460 Magnum revolver with a 3" barrel. 

The blast from this thing produced a cool ring of fire which I captured in slow motion. Check it out!

Another awesome video I filmed with IraqVeteran8888 is now live and I had the honor of being in one of his popular "Gun Gripes" videos. Having spent five years at Google, I provide insight into what it was like being a gun guy at one of the most successful tech companies in the world. 

There are unique challenges gun owners face in corporate America where we're often silenced and shamed when it comes to gun chatter in the office. This anti-gun attitude is driven by fear and ignorance. Having grown up in a time when "going postal" was a real fear, I can understand why folks in an office would be concerned. However, by bringing this issue to the forefront, it's my hope that we can slowly turn the needle and make the office a more tolerant place where guns can be freely talked about.

I literally have one word for this: Absolutely.

NRA: Give guns to military recruiters
By Theodore Schleifer, CNN

Updated 9:17 AM ET, Tue July 21, 2015

Washington (CNN) The National Rifle Association said after a deadly shooting at a military facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee, that the rule that prohibits U.S. military men from carrying firearms on military installations was "outrageous."

The powerful gun lobby on Monday called on the White House to repeal its Pentagon directive that regulates who can carry firearms and then for Congress to "pursue a legislative fix to ensure that our service men and women are allowed to defend themselves on U.S. soil."

Troops on recruiting bases aren't armed.

"It's outrageous that members of our armed services have lost their lives because the government has forced them to be disarmed in the workplace," said Chris Cox, the leader of the NRA's legislative and political shop.

Since the shooting last Thursday that killed five service members, several governors have aimed to strengthen protection at National Guard facilities in their states, including some states choosing to arm their National Guard unit.

The Pentagon has reacted more slowly: Defense Secretary Ash Carter has asked military branches to recommend ways to beef up security on bases and installations, but at first only announced relatively modest steps in the aftermath of the shooting.

"Obviously force protection everywhere around the world, abroad and now at home, is a big priority for us at the department, and will continue to be," Carter said Friday.

You'd think that after the recent NSA data collection scandals the government would reel in their Big Brother tendencies. San Francisco must not have gotten the memo.

I live in San Francisco (yes, by choice), and as a native Californian it is one of the best cities in the state for many reasons. The food, the people, the ocean, the Golden Gate Bridge, and I could go on and on and on. 

However, the anti-gun politicians are still keeping at it and their newest attack on the Second Amendment has come as a knee-jerk reaction to the Pier 14 shooting by an illegal immigrant who had seven felonies and had been deported more than enough times. Many factors contributed to the poor victim's death but the city's sanctuary laws protecting immigrants, both legal and illegal has drawn the most ire from the national discourse. 

What is simply incredible though is that The San Francisco Board of Supervisors believes that gun control is the solution. The guy reportedly found the gun wrapped up in a cloth on a bench, and that gun was stolen from a federal agent's work vehicle. I have no idea how gun control would have prevented this tragedy. So the only logical conclusion is that the Board of Supervisors is trying to take advantage of an innocent person's death to push their gun control agenda. 

It's shameful, and now the Board of Supervisors will be hearing a new law in September which would require all dealer sales of guns and ammunition to be videotaped. Buyer data would be collected and handed over to the San Francisco Police Department creating a database that has no use. More wasteful government spending- that is something I can tell you San Francisco is good at.

Major questions:

1. What will the SFPD even do with all that data? If someone came in and bought 1,000 rounds of 9mm, is that going to trigger some sort of alert and the SFPD will then go to that person's home? Then what?
2. Is this data collection constitutional?
3. Why does San Francisco think this will be effective when someone can just go to the next city over to buy guns and ammo? Also, there is only one gun shop in the city, Highbridge Arms, and so we're considering a whole law that targets a single business?
   

I plan on chatting with my Supervisor to voice my dismay over this proposal. I encourage other San Francisco residents who are against this proposal to contact their Supervisor as well.

Here's the second video I did with Surefire and their new Ryder 9 silencer. I decided it would be fun to do a little William Tell action and split an apple using a Salient Arms Tier 1 Glock. 

Surefire has just released its first 9mm pistol can, and it shoots like a dream. Surefire invited me to their range to check it out, and of course shoot it!

Man, it's stupid quiet. See and hear for yourself in the video below.

Who knew Oakley had a secret sauce?

That sauce, is technology.

Oakley invited me back down to Southern California headquarters to get some insight into how they utilized technology to develop their new "Tombstone" eyewear.

It was a real treat to meet directly with Oakley's Research & Development team to get insights firsthand, and luckily for you, I got to film it all and share it right here in the video below.

You'll learn how Oakley puts tech to good use, and see how Tombstone came to be.

The Blaze has reported out on my Musical Target videos! Super exciting.
