    Lead rivets.

    My well used EK edge and 1/2 has walnut slab handles with the poured rivets and were used I was told when it was made that the lead could be peened to tighten if they came loose. The knife was used by me in the '60s and the pins had an X on each like hit with a screwdriver and were slightly...

    Non lethal ways of defending against dogs

    As an old telephone splicer for over 30yrs I've had many dogs want to chew on me especially with a tool belt on. I would never use pepper spray. Pepper spray makes the dog more aggressive and I've seen one sprayed, run into the yard and some little kid wrap their arms around it. People don't...

    Kahr moving from NY to Pennsylvania...

    Sen. Joe Manchin screwed the pooch for WV. Beretta now, along with other companies won't consider WV. A letter from a Beretta executive made it very plain. Add that to the war on coal and we're gone.

    Upgrade AR-15 extractor?

    Change ammo to brass. I personally don't use steel in any firearm. Some folks do and appear to never have problems. Your AR is telling you it doesn't like steel.

    to trade or not to trade???

    Always sell yours then buy. I carry a G23 and am happy with it but selling your two will more than cover a Glock. Used G23s are plentiful and personally I wouldn't sell those two unless absolutly necessary.

    Inserting glock magazines

    I've had the habit of firmly seating all magazines in all my pistols for over 50yrs. I never took seating for granted.

    We have lost our collective minds

    I don't check Gunbroker anymore. I checked firearms and ammo and decided I needed an armed guard 24/7 to keep ME out of the safes. It's getting to be a tough decision to sell or hold. I am trying to hold and if I don't check prices maybe I can.

    Alternate self defense weapons ?

    Inches from your face? Should never let anyone hostile get that close. A good cane is a great weapon IF you learn a few simple moves with one and can be carried anywhere and provides all important distance. IF a man is way inside my comfort zone I am personally fond of a palm strike to the chin...

    For giggles I went to Gunbroker and looked up 22 ammo.

    I've got several bricks of 500 22LR I had sealed in ammo boxes and checked a few bricks of brand name and all was under $10 a brick sticker wise.

    Local sheriff

    Ours had his picture on the front page of the local paper saying about the same thing other decent sheriffs are saying. He's an ex WV State Trooper and on his last term as sheriff plus I believe he is a man of his word.

    I thought I had seen it all, Until Today's Gun show

    I'm good on ammo but to shoot more I did as someone else mentioned I bought a good pellet rifle for less than 400 rounds of 223 and have been having fun with it. I had never owned or shot one before, just the old BB gun and scoped I have fun out to 50yds or so. Plenty of power if I want to kill...

    What is the most gun friendly state?

    Kentucky in the lower 48. I would have said West Virginia but with our senators and governor kissing the Prez's rear end it kinda makes us look stupid electing them.

    What states are NOT currently considering even the slightest hint of gun control?

    WEST VIRGINIA of all states with high gun ownership has been sold down the river by both senators & governor that I know about. One house member answered with a six of one, half a dozen of the other so who knows about him. Guess I will be working in the next elections IF we have a choice.

    Fox News Sunday

    Chris Wallace was born into the Washington elite and is as biased as his father was. He was clearly out to make the NRA look bad and interrupting sure didn't help his cause. He and Gregory could easily have changed places. \
