Agree 100% with everything in this statement. I admire it, mainly because of how clean the primer pockets get, but refuse to have to dry brass. That's another step I don't want. I will say I prefer corn cob over walnut. I used lizard litter for a couple years and it does a good job of cleaning...

When I was stuck at the same desk for nearly 8 hours a day, ankle carry was my preferred method. I was seated nearly all the time, so it made sense to me. It was extremely comfortable. In fact, I've been places where I shouldn't have had a gun, and realized it was still strapped to my ankle...

Can't say I've ever done that.

Don't be. I know everyone doesn't agree with me on this, but I think it is possible to overclean. Especially the bore. I've had more than a few of those moments myself. lol

@Anchorite, I have mixed feelings as well. In our county, the first Monday of each month is felony plea and arraignment, where it's just a cattle call of defendants. The dockets are 20+ pages long some days. I hope the lawyers who choose to carry do so with total concealment in mind. The...

I was always a fan of Western books and Western movies and TV shows. I started loving single actions and lever guns. It progressed from there.

Never put up a bird feeder, but I do enjoy watching dozens of different critters eating out of my corn pile. It does help pass the time. I have been meaning to take a camera to the stand and take some photos.

This post got me to thinking that I probably had a pic saved somewhere. I found this one of her sizing cast bullets when she was 9 years old.

Awesome. My daughter has loaded some with me. When she was 10 she loaded the round that killed her first deer. Even now at 20 years old if she's feeling stressed and wants some mind numbing task to take her mind off thigs, she'll join me in the reloading room and sort brass, prep brass, size...

If the person is genuinely interested, I have no problem having a conversation. If they're just being a self righteous jerk, I don't bother with an answer. I have answered this question in the past. I carry a gun for the same reason there's a fire extinguisher under my sink. I hope and pray...

I'm with you. The only place I open carry is in the woods or at the range. It's always a single action. For everyday carry though, I prefer as close to 100% concealment as possible so I carry a M&P Bodyguard in a pocket holster most of the time. I occasionally carry OWB because I have to wear...

It depends on the gun. I certainly haven't stopped cleaning, but I also do not clean every time I fire one either. My carry gun gets more attention than any other because it is carried in my pocket and collects pocket lint. In my revolvers, I shoot cast bullets 95% of the time and it gets...

Because my passion isn't for geography, it's for guns, so that's what I care about. I'm sure a geography major or someone who just enjoys studying geography, would likely take more issue with that than most of us here. Nothing wrong with either, it's just where folks' interest lies.

I didn't even notice how he carried his 1911. I didn't get past the first episode. The gun stuff was just terrible. I realize it's a fictional show, but some things are so blatant that I can't keep watching. The wokeness in the very first episode turned me off. Someone was killed by a .45-70...

Mine too. Of course my range isn't really public. It's outdoor but has membership dues and a locked gate. There is occasionally trash around, but it's not very common. Our range even gripes at people for leaving targets stapled to the target boards. lol Mine is Benton Gun Club, less than an...
