    Can a Convicted Felon Go to a Firing Range Strictly as a Observer? No Handling or Firing.

    I have been reading this for a while and holding back thinking cooler heads would prevail. I will state I am a former Aerospace Quality Engineer with MRB authority (that means the FAA can put me in jail and fine the snot out of me for my decisions). I have read countless policies, procedures...

    Firearms post-WW2

    The German Navy dominated the North Atlantic for quite some time using the same method we did as referenced above. They sank tonnage of shipping and material, and prevented the British from resupply, with the plan of starvation of food and war products. The main reason the British were able to...

    Night Sights

    I have had the Trijicons and Meprolight night sights and they did help at night in terms of finding my sights. I also keep a flashlight near my nightstand pistol and it does "wash out" the glow of the sights. I am waiting for a set to come back in stock for my P320.

    Actual Self Defense Knife Use

    I do remember one altercation about 25 years ago. I was on a construction site during a rough patch between the trades and racial groups. I saw a group of "rednecks" start to attack a lone Hispanic guy in a room. The Hispanic guy used his drywall hatchet and a pocket knife to good effect and...

    Respect (or lack there of) for older Gun Writers

    I used to work with an individual who went to a very prestigious university in upstate New York. He was all about this "operator"who was showing the "start of World War 3" due to US military troop movements. All of the information I saw in the videos this guy shared were standard troop...

    What is the most recent knife you bought?

    I did something similar few weeks ago. I was slicing some chicken for a Thai dish I was cooking and had placed it into the freezer for a few minutes. It was a little more frozen than I thought and my knife slipped into my knuckle. Thankfully there were no stitches needed but I went through a...

    Does Anyone Fire Lap Barrels?

    I haven't heard of anyone firelapping a barrel since the mid to late 90's. I was always told "to just shoot the thing" until it either gets better or not. Firelapping seemed to be another gimmick to sell a new set of tools to shooters. Bore scopes are also a good investment if you understand...

    Anyone remember the Montana man who was displaying a firearm near a school? Montana law did not exempt him from federal law.

    I do have a question as to how this challenge will come out based on the current state of affairs post Bruen. Has anyone been able to find a historical reference backing up the gun free school zone act? That should prove to be a sticking point in a future defense.

    What is the most recent knife you bought?

    Just got this in the mail today. I was looking for an "inexpensive" solid locking folder and remembered Ganzo had a decent reputation. It has a 440C blade, "Axis" lock and a pocket clip. I figure it will be a good backup knife for when I have to send my Kershaw Leek back to the mothership.

    Post season scouting, it never fails!

    Those old big ones didn't get that way by accident, they learned how to play the game and don't make many mistakes, especially during hunting season. I heard a wildlife biologists animals learn at an astonishing rate and they likelihood of seeing a 4-5 year old buck are slim and seeing one...

    Your 'Rodney Dangerfield' guns.

    I "had" a ring of fire .38 special I bought for $25. It was no beauty queen with its spray paint finish, cracked grips and homemade front sight. The trigger pull was horrible, long and rough. It went bang until it didn't one day due to some spring or another finally giving up the ghost. I...

    Shave with Straight razor shavette

    I have a badger hair brush my wife got for me a few years ago, and I use either a cocoa butter or Shea butter soap. My "daily razor" is my double edge safety razor, and the shavette is for when I have time for the entire ritual. I used a number of soaps before I found the brand I currently...

    It's That Time in the Kitchen

    My Mother-in-law got me a new set of knives back in September or October last year and they don't need much sharpening yet. My old set does need a professional sharpening due to use and abuse from 16 years of service. They will become the "camping / outdoors" knives for the remainder of their...

    Shave with Straight razor shavette

    I use either Feather or KAI blades in my safety razor (depends on what blade I grab from the cabinet). The shavette came with Derby blades. I will use them a few more times and try a different brand if / when my technique improves.

    Shave with Straight razor shavette

    I know we had quite the thread about safety razors and who uses them a while back. I have also seen a few people say they either use or have used a straight razor. I have been using a safety razor for two years and the other week decided to take the plunge into straight shaving. I went on...
