    What to put in 72 Hour Kit?

    Dragongoddess: there are wind-up devices that will charge up a Cell phonr battery. Costco sells a 3-LED flashlight with a Am/FM radio that works on the wind-up generator that is built in. It also has a siren for using as a warning or signal. They cost about $23 for two units and I ampleased...

    Long Tan Day

    40 years ago I met some Aussie LRRP troops when they entered our old French Fort just before jumping off for a night patrol. They were wearing the bush shorts and widebrimmed hats that our officers hated so much. They were carrying two types of firearms, a rifle or Owen SMG in 9 mm. They...

    Motorist grabs gun, kills car-jacker

    The real message here is to lock the car when going inside the store or to the cashier booth. Also look inside the back of the vehicle when re-entering.

    Contents of Range bag

    A travel pack of wet wipes is handy to remove the powder residue from hands after shooting. Until you have wiped your hands do not place a finger near your eyes. Just a suggestion here: DO not use any bag that you travel with on a plane to carry a gun or ammo or used cases in. The machine...

    Measure twice, cut once. Years ago I bought a shotgun and had the barrel cut down to 18.5 inches and had the end finished and reblued. I wanted to have a large brass ball sight installed on the end of the barrel and took the piece to a gun shop. when I carried the brokan open shotgun into the...

    Judge denies San Leandro gun dealer's appeal

    Traders Sports has been a good store and I have shopped there since the early 70's I would guess. I have bought guns, ammo, holsters, camping gear, targets, books and a knife or two. Our agency even bought ammo there when the federal supply was short a couple of times. The "evil people" will...

    Whining from Iraq, FIGMO!

    Thanks for your service Hal! I had not really thought about the term, "FIGMO", since about September of 1966 when I was prepping for my trip back from the SE Asia War Games. To celebrate we even had a farewell mortar attack and infiltration attempt on our last night 'In Country' at Tan Son...

    Carry in national parks (now with functional image)

    Carrying a CCW fiearm is not a major problem but using it to defend against a two or four legged critter would be the problem. In Yosemite Park there have been street gangs that have come up to cause problems from Fresno in the past. If a person were to defend oneself and family from these scum...

    Minnesota soldier shipped AK-47s home!!

    The argument that a full auto war trophy should be allowed is going to fall on deaf ears. Sad but true. I bought a M3A1 SMG in .45 ACP in Vietnam in 1966 ans sold it to a guy with more time when I left for the states. I would have liked to have brought it home but the warnings were already...

    2nd is Wrong Class

    Have a nice calm talk with the teachr and then if your daughter brings anymore reports of anti Second Amendment home go higher. My now 42 year old daughter came to me when she was in Preparatory School and asked for some NRA literature and Second Amendment info. I asked what was up and she...

    Video of CHP confiscating firearms....

    What do you think of this? I believe the CHP force sent to NOLA was interviewed before thy left to make sure they were all singing from the same song-sheet. They were probably told this will be a difficult mission and you may have to do some things not normally done in the line of duty. The...

    Until Sept 11, 2001 I carried my kubaton everywhere I went. I used it to protect myself from street thugs in Paris and was glad to have it. There are other devices that are inoccuous and do not draw attention. one item is the cardboard roll in a faz machine. it passes the metal detector and...

    anyone tried this launcher?

    On a related note, check out the video entitled, "Second Hand Lions", starring R. Duvall, M. Caine and Haley Osmont. There is a great segment in the film where the "crazy uncles" are shooting at clays and the kid is loading the meechanical thrower. He is wearing a couple of kitchen hot pads...

    "Don't stop white people" and "Police to raid in socks"

    Any police agency that would order their officers to remove their shoes before entering someone's home should be drummed out of the police business. I would never acquiesce to that order! Your shoes or boots are part of your gear and a weapon to boot! (to boot, get it?) :) This PC crap has...
