The Ashley Update: Historical Texas Ranger’s Gun, In Texas

Hlebinsky, who previously worked at the Smithsonian is exactly the kind of ambassador the shooting community needs. Torrentially well informed, passionate to the point of geekery, and blessed with a wicked sense of humor, she can swill whiskey and smoke cigars while holding forth on black powder muskets until your eyes glaze over. Spreading the gospel of responsible firearms ownership has never been more important, and being able to demystify an inanimate object while educating the public about its role in the nation’s history goes a long way toward countering negative publicity.

This week on The Ashley Update, Ashley heads down to San Antonio and stops into Dury's Gun Shop to get her hands on a historical pistol carried by Texas Rangers.

Do you have a question for Ashley about anything she’s discussed this week or even about some of the little-known things she loves?
