Around the Water Cooler: 2014 Ends

This is our last edition of the year and it's been a great year for The Tactical Wire. While I've had less activity in the area of Outdoor Wire Special Editions and my print work on the outside, the work we've done has been rewarding for me. Our guest features have been particularly good this year. Dave Spaulding and Tiger McKee both hit some controversial topics, as we'd expect. Never fearful of debate, Claude Werner helped us finish our year of features with his series of "Negative Consequences" - pitfalls of firearms possession, carry and use. Likewise, I "prodded the bear" a few times. We featured a piece from Chuck Haggard at the Rangemaster "I" Course and he put in serious effort in supporting a piece on the low-cost/high value AR15. Darryl Bolke, retired peace officer from Southern California likewise added to the mix - a first for us and we hope to see more from him in the coming year. Our thanks go out to advertisers and corporate members. The material you provide is of great interest to our audience. Finally, the people we do this for, those we try to reach, our readers: our numbers have grown, our dedication to getting this right continues to increase in importance. You help us keep it all straight by clicking on links, clicking on ads and sending responses to us (info@thetacticalwire.com). The Outdoor Wires have big plans for 2015 and we have only a couple of weeks to prepare. When we come back, we do so with our publisher's promise: "We'll keep you posted."
