I saw MB post that Mike Venturino passed away on the 9th of June. I always enjoyed his articles.
https://americanhandgunner.com/news/passing-contributing-editor-mike-duke-venturino/Longtime writer and American Handgunner Magazine Contributing Editor Mike “Duke” Venturino has died.
Mike passed away yesterday, June 9, 2024, at his Montana home after a short illness, surrounded by his wife Yvonne and their dogs.
A native of West Virginia, Mike was a journalism graduate of Marshall University
Mike has written for American Handgunner and GUNS magazines for many years, along with many other publications. He has also authored books about shooting.
“One of the last communications I had with Mike was regarding his monthly column deadline,” GUNS Editor Brent T. Wheat noted. “He was fighting the battle for his life, but he was worried about missing his deadline. What an amazing professional; there is no way to fill the void he leaves our magazines or the shooting world in general. Mike’s FMG family is keeping his wife Yvonne, Mike’s family, friends and countless fans in our thoughts.”
FMG Publications will publish further information as it becomes available.

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo
For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
