Hoplophilia - from the Greek ὅπλον - hoplon, meaning "arms" and φιλία - philia, meaning "love" is defined as the "love of firearms."Welcome to Hoplophilia, a blog concerning firearms. Herein we will discuss all things gun including topics such as legislation & compliance, firearm & equipment reviews, shooting techniques & firearm safety. Please join us while we explore our shooting hobby and what gun ownership means to us.
Beyond things that go bang bang, Hoplophilia is deeply interested with disconnecting from the hustle, bustle, and electronic stimuli of civilization and reconnecting with the rejuvenation, majesty, and serenity of the wilderness. We are deeply invested in conserving wild places so that everyone can adventure and make the great outdoors part of their identity.
We look to embody the spirit of the Norwegian concept of friluftsliv and embracing nature as part of life.
