I love the smell of cordite in the morning

...or anytime, really. The newest Carnival of Cordite is up. I was very happy to find a link to this book. I have a few girlfriends who are teetering on the verge of coming to the range with me, and this book looks like a great introduction to the idea of self defense and responsible gun ownership. This week's Carnival is chock-full of excellent reading. Enjoy!
