Weapons Wednesday: WaPo Articles

Two damn fine gun-related articles in the WaPo, in two days.

First is about the resurgence of the WVU rifle team, and it shows shooters in a positive light. (I sent it to our jumper/jumpmaster/Ranger School grad Catholic Chaplain, who is a WVU grad, and he responded that that’s where he learned to shoot as a cadet and first scored expert!)

The second is a very nice column about Hunters Feeding the Hungry in Maryland. The columnist presents both sides (there ought not be two sides, but that’s not his fault), but he delivers a stealth beat-down to the PETA freaks in the last sentence. (And check out the guy’s score for the year!) Well put, sir, well put indeed.

Like we’ve said before, we often hammer the WaPo for nutty writing and loony op-eds, but when they get it right we also like to highlight that. If you agree, send those two writers a note and tell them so.
