Although it sounds cool, I fail to see the purpose for this degree. Will we take this degree and make it a requirement for jobs that do not require it right now? I believe over the past 30 years that has been done to many fields that used to not require a degree. So an individual spends a...

Here is a good video of Paul Harrell where he shows what it is like if you ever need to shoot from a motorcycle. For those uncomfortable with carrying on the bike, they make several tank bags, that may be a good place to keep a firearm quickly accessible but not on your body while riding...

I carry in the same position riding a motorcycle frequently. I put a little more thought into cover garments, so the wind doesn’t blow up my shirt or something. I use a crossbreed supertuck deluxe holster, with an m&p compact, it is very secure. Not too worried about a crash, I am a somewhat...

32 states. Unfortunately, when visiting family I have to drive across Illinois, where prohibited. It is a long state with no easy bypass. Other than that, I am covered everywhere I am interested in going. Not interested in the New England states or California coast.

I’m only in my 30s but think about this every once in a while. I’ve moved quite a bit, so there is always incentive to downsize and my accumulation is pretty reasonable by my standards anyway. I plan to pass things down to my kids and potentially grand kids while still alive so I can see them...

I’m kind of surprised ruger is still making mini-14s. With the popularity of ARs and the options and price points available it is hard to believe they are still around. ARs are much cheaper than they were even 10 years ago and there is a large amount of variety and customization available...

Go with the magpul front and rear flip up sights. They are usually on sale from PSA. You can also get a rifle with removable carry handle. If you are using a red dot as an optic, I don’t mind a front sight post. As long as you have a flat top or removable carry handle, you aren’t really...

Maybe you see less rattlers in Florida because the pythons are eating them all? When I lived in Missouri, nearly every fishing and canoe trip involved seeing cottonmouths coiled on the bank or swimming. Luckily, they never bothered me so I left them alone.

I get delayed 50% of the time at least. I have a ccw and no reason to ever be denied. It is only a problem at stores where their store policy requires an approval and not just wait the 5 business days. I’ve found my delays just stay delayed forever. I was at a rural king a few years ago and...

Hey, I can speak from some experience here. I’ve tried to sell guns on armslist, and been contacted by people from NY interested in buying a firearm. Even though I lived in NY from 2008-2012, I know gun laws have changed a lot since then. I have read more than one article about Mayor...

I add tape to the sling swivels on any hunting gun to quiet it down. Here is my quiet hunting AR in .277 Wolverine, no gizmos or doodads hanging off it, even has good iron sights and wood.

Once wal-mart is done selling ammo everywhere, it will be talked about like the good old days. Like how we used to be able to buy a shotgun at Sears and Roebuck or Western Auto. This kind of kills the argument of why 30-06 or 30-30 is a good choice, so if you forget ammo you can find it in any...

More than a loophole, it highlights how trivial those laws are. Those arbitrary requirements made these work around make sense. The world didn’t end when Mossberg made a shockwave and people put arm braces on their ARs. These are long standing laws, so few people really remember what is was...

Fully semi automatic.

Like anything else, it depends more on the hunter holding the rifle than whether it is semi or bolt or single shot. You hear the same thing with the archery crowd when they talk about crossbows, it’s too easy now and the same as a rifle..... Not true, but people tend to have issue with someone...
