    “The First Rule of Gunfighting is Have a Gun”: Technologies of Concealed Carry in Gun Culture 2.0 Paper Presented at The Copeland Colloquium on “The Symbolic and Material Construction of Guns” Amherst College 3-4 March 2017 David Yamane Professor of Sociology Wake Forest University [email protected] In April 2016, the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) its second annual Concealed Carry Expo (CCX) at the Georgia International Conventional Center near Hartsfield International Airport in Atlanta. The event is billed as “the nation’s only event dedicated to the CCW lifestyle” (see Figure 1). Although the idea of a “lifestyle” might seem to trivialize the practice of citizens carrying deadly weapons in public, the reality is quite the opposite. Over the course of three days, various seminars repeatedly stress the seriousness and importance of being a regular and responsible armed citizen. Figure 1. Flier for 2nd Annual USCCA Concealed Carry Expo 1 A seminar on the laws governing the use of lethal force in self-defense by attorney Andrew Branca is free and open to the public. Although it begins at 8:00am, the audience is literally standing room as the overflow spills out from the combined German 1 and 2 suites into the hallway. Branca later signs copies of the third edition of his book, The Law of Self-Defense, which the USCCA has licensed and is giving away free of charge to Expo attendees. Other seminars presented throughout the weekend cover concealed carry basics for beginners, hand-to- hand techniques to employ before using a firearm, mental preparation for self-defense, weapon retention, and gunshot wound treatment.

This publication attempts to solve the problem. It is divided into five parts: The first presents a basic clas­ sification of fishing gear; the second is a key by means of which fishing gear can be identified and new terms for fishing gear can be properly classified; the third defines and illustrates various types of fishing gear; the fourth is a tabular classification of local Filipino di­ alect names; and the fifth is a glossary including definitions of more than a thousand terms.

  • Ice Fishing Chapter
    S E C T I O N INTRODUCTION9 TO ICE FISHING Not only is fishing a great summertime activity, it’s also a fun winter pastime. Ice fishing is a great way to spend those cold winter days. Many species of fish can be caught through the ice. For certain species, ice fishing can often be better than open-water fishing. The main species sought by ice anglers are pike, pickerel, walleye, panfish (sunfish, yellow perch and crappie), and rainbow, brown and lake trout. Fishing access can often be better during the winter. Anglers normally limited to shore during open-water seasons can access an entire lake, as long as the ice is thick enough. Beginners’ Guide to Freshwater Fishing 75 INTRODUCTION TO ICE FISHING WHAT GEAR WILL YOU NEED? Ice Augers and Spud Bars In order to ice fish, you must first cut a hole through the ice. This can be done with either a spud bar or an ice auger.
