    Working Guns for Homesteading/rural/off grid lifestyle?

    If I can take my Jeep, then Winchester 94, Mossberg 500, GP100; if I have to hump the load CZ452 and Heritage Rough Rider for comparative volume of ammunition you can carry. Also, this scenario requires sharpening your most important weapon -- your mind.

    Do you think the average gangbanger practices shooting?

    "I was in a gun store once where a gangbanger-looking dude (must have been just starting his career with a clean record) and the sales guys asked him what kind of gun he wanted -- type, caliber, etc. -- and his response was "something cheap." That was it! " Based on my own economic history...

    Angelina Jolie on Guns

    This is a part of an interview she did in Britain. Just FYI. "If anybody comes into my home and tries to hurt my kids, I've no problem shooting them." That's Angelina Jolie, revealing her up-with-the-Second-Amendment maternal instincts to Britain's Mail on Sunday. And, as an added...

    open carry in VA - FOX news video coverage

    My permit from York County, VA says to carry a concealed handgun. By the way, they are of the flimsiest card stock and also require a picture ID to be carried with them. FL's permit, on the other hand, looks like a driver's license.

    Portability and Reliability versus Spray and Pray

    The first gun you ever shot
