The Ashley Update: Sharps Week, Not Shark Week

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 Ashley breaks down Sharps Week (including a shark costume), and of course there's some gun talk. Specifically, Ashley goes into a Sharps 1853 Sporting Rifle–one that was personally owned by General Custer. And also some other items from Custer's collection.
