    Poll: What's Your Favorite Working Man's Knife?

    Why does it have to be a "man's" knife? Hmm?

    What's the most irresponsible thing you've ever done to pay for a gun you wanted?

    I was dating a guy I was going to dump, but I knew he was buying me a gun for my birthday, so I held on for another few weeks to get the pistol. I dumped him a couple days later and kept the gun, which he demanded back, but didn't get.

    Gov't gets poor marks on protecting gun rights

    Our rights are rights against certain government actions. Rights are in direct opposition to government power - it only makes sense the government wants to whittle them down. It's just too bad we don't elect those who would seek to expand our rights, but rather those who seek to expand...

    25 ACP and 32 ACP noise report question

    I would say that my Beretta Tomcat is about as loud as my LCP - the 32 might be a little sharper bang than the 380. Barrel length is really most of the issue with the volume of the report. 22 CB longs in my S&W 622 are pretty sharp compared to my Savage single shot... The pistol sounded like...

    Who carries reloads: Speed Loader vs. Magazine

    I always carry a spare mag for whatever I'm carrying - or a speed strip for the revolvers I sometimes carry. It's not because I need the extra rounds for a gunfight, because I'll likely win or lose that based on things other than extra ammo, but because things break... "one is none..."

    Wow, .22lr prices at Fred Meyer

    I've quit some local gun shops over their prices recently... Say what you want about Walmart (I personally dislike nearly everything about them and shop there sparingly), but I was there today with a friend who was buying food, and while looking at the ammo case I saw two cans of 420 XM855 on...

    Tactical Pistol Reloading Methods by D.R. Middlebrooks

    Al, good job with the "eye roll" and "barf" icon - that's super "high road" of you.

    Yes I am in Need of HELP

    In all seriousness, I wish you well with your health. As someone without children, who likely will never have children, I still have many assets that will need to be disposed of after my inevitable death. A will is a very worthwhile instrument and would alleviate some of the concern over the...

    Yes I am in Need of HELP

    Oh, some women understand the 'therapeutic' value of a gunshop just fine. I, for one, just don't appreciate the attitude of many of those who gather in gunshops, offering unsolicited advice and often crude comments.

    Holsters and Carry Methods: pros and cons

    Why would I need and/or want to lift my cover garment that high? Valuable time and effort lost, IMO.

    Holsters and Carry Methods: pros and cons

    Appendix pros and cons: Pros: concealability, easier/faster draw. Can draw from seated in a car. Cons: not for those with large waists, comfort with certain pants/fits/, muzzle pointed at femoral artery (if you're concerned about guns going off on their own or your ability to draw or holster...

    Holsters and Carry Methods: pros and cons

    So, you reach all the way across your body and lift your shirt or jacket with your weak hand? I have long arms and it's a reach to get around to 4 o'clock to sweep up a cover shirt or coat...

    Holsters and Carry Methods: pros and cons

    Appendix for main carry method. Lift cover garment with left. Draw with right. With 3 or 4 o'clock carry, I would need to lift and draw with the same hand and bring the pistol around - not at efficient as appendix. When I cannot appendix carry, which is pretty much anytime I'm in a dress...

    Wrong house

    Yeah, awesome, let us trivialize shooting a human being with little quips like "Smile. Wait for flash." Think about it what it actually means and decide if that is how you really feel. I saw way too much death and joking about it while I was in the army to ever find quips about it the least...

    One heck of a shot with a 1911

    It's possible, but improbable. Having jumped out of my fair share of aircraft, I know how fast people descend. If I came out of the door of an airplane or helicopter at 200lbs with a combat load, I would fall around 10-12 feet per second with an SF10-A parachute. A larger person with an older...

    Would I be able to buy a gun?

    The "would" and "should" are two very different things here. Disorderly conducts are sometimes non-criminal; forfeitures. Others are misdemeanors, which is a crime, but obviously not typically carrying a prohibitive penalty. You mostly likely would be able to buy a rifle. Should you? It...

    How are your bedside guns stored?

    This is entirely dependent on the dexterity and strength of the child, but for a long gun such as a pump, or even an AR, you could have it locked, but not loaded, and make it ready at the time you need it. In the rare circumstance a friend or family member's child is in my place, I sincerely...

    Considered suppressed handgun for night stand?

    I have a can for my G19, but my SBR with can seems a better bet for me inside my place.

    What would you have done?

    I would have asked how long he intended to carry on in that manner. If he was just trying to achieve zero, I would have waited 20-30 minutes to get into my routine. If his intention was to spend an hour range session checking his targets every three rounds, I would have told him that was a...
