    Excess ammo: to sell or not to sell?

    I stocked up on premium JHP over the last few years. I'm talking about Gold Dots and Ranger Talons, Bonded, etc. for $18 a box of 50rds. I have more than I would ever need in a lifetime, and I don't have enough space to store it securely. I'm considering selling it for that reason, at...

    Medical conditions and Self Defense

    At 30 years old, I recently suffered from two pulmonary embolisms about two weeks apart. Due to locations of some of the clots, I've been in severe pain, to the point where I couldn't move or do anything for myself. I could not even breathe other than shallow breaths. I was a very physically fit...

    Best place to buy stock Glock sights?

    Jeez those are expensive! Shipping is cheap but they want $2 for the front sight screw, $4 for the front sight, and $5 for the rear sight!

    When do you deem an AR-15 reliable?

    I think the carbine course is a bit excessive for my purposes. I don't intend to go to Afghanistan with mine... I think for my purposes (SHTF, SD) they have proven reliable. I guess it comes down to shooting it in the conditions, under conditions you intend to rely on it in.

    Home security systems

    i backup off site my other important data regularly, however; I need some kind of a solution for video that thieves can't get to. I figured game trail cameras outside in strategic locations away from the house would be good, and could get license plate info as well potentially. One of my...

    Best place to buy stock Glock sights?

    Looking for sights, the stock ones. Where is the best place to buy a few sets (front and rear) with reasonable shipping?

    How do you handle people who stare you down?

    Hunter125, I think it's funny that you say that people pick on big guys like you to prove something. I usually hear big guys bragging about how nobody messes with them, and smaller people complaining that people always mess with them...

    How do you handle people who stare you down?

    I read something a long time ago that I think we can all benefit from. I used to practice it and should do again. It defuses your emotions very well IMO: When in a situation like this, ask yourself: 1) Am I willing to fight this person? If not disengage, if yes, proceed to #2 2) Am I...

    Home security systems

    I know you can store the images on a hard drive, but as I've already noted, the concern is the hard drive you stored them on is stolen along with your belongings. They either see the cameras and figure to steal the cameras and drives, or they steal your PC by chance and now you have no footage.

    Home security systems

    I've been thinking about buying a couple of game cameras to place around the house in case anyone ever broke in. Primary reason is that they don't require you to run power out to their location and they have internal storage. I don't want to run wire around the house, OR have somenone steal...

    When do you deem an AR-15 reliable?

    I don't go to ranges, I shoot in the woods. It get's covered in dust and debris from walking in the woods, going prone, etc. The thing I haven't really done with it is getting it hot with .223 and seeing if it chockes. I've dumped 6-8 mags of .22 through it fast and no problems. Guess it's...

    How do you handle people who stare you down?

    The jokes about his weight and his mom saying I'm big are good. Sadly, I think jokes about his mom or his gf who was also with him might have provoked him.

    How do you handle people who stare you down?

    Nor do they start trouble for that matter. I wonder if these clowns realize how stupid they look. They dress like thugs with their workout shorts sagging from their butts, shoes untied, hat turned sideways. How do you carry your weapon? Oh, that's right, you don't....lol I'm going to start...

    When do you deem an AR-15 reliable?

    Mine don't jam, but I only shoot slow fire at targets. I will say I have shot 1,000 rounds of Tula which is dirty as heck through one and another 1,000 .22 lr without cleaning (just lubing) and it still doesn't jam. Some say that I need to dump 3-6 mags rapid fire to consider it reliable. Do...
