    Open Carry Goes Wrong.

    Without debating the standard "open carry" advantages and disadvantages, here is a story about a man who thought the sight of his o.p. handgun would dissuade "bad guys" from nefarious attempts. http://fox21news.com/2017/08/30/police-suspect-arrested-after-assaulting-man-stealing-his-gun/ Just...

    What are gander stores looking like now?

    Same here. It is quite obvious that Lemonis agrees with the violence, anarchy, rioting, and extreme anti-free speech actions of the communist ANTIFA terrorists as he endorses their criminal actions by refusing to acknowledge them. His companies, beginning with Camping World, Gander Mtn., etc...

    Injuries as a result of catastrophic failure?

    I can not testify to other "kabooms," but was up close and personal to one in which the shooter was injured. This happened around 1980 or 1981. I was a member of the Southwest Pistol League in Southern Calif. We shot IPSC every month, Sunday afternoons. During one course, I was standing...

    Understand...it is not "your decision"

    I find it ironic and highly hypocritical of the Methodist Church and Presbyterian Church (and several other denominations) to rant against gun ownership and self defense because it is "morally wrong" for any person to kill an attacker in self defense, yet advocate the confiscation of guns by the...

    I will miss thehighroad

    I would submit that IF the .gov monitors firearms and hunting sites, etc., and IF .gov is keeping lists of those who post, they already have a very large data base of all those gun owners they want to "collect" IF they are someday ordered to do so by some communistnazi government, whether in...

    6 Guns, Cowboys, Hollywood and the Truth

    Well, not quite. The first great movie stuntman was Charles "Hurricane Hutch" Hutchison, a silent screen star who created and did his own stunts for years. I.e., being pursued by the "bad guys," and encountering a running train blocking the road, he'd jump under the train between the wheels of...

    Bedside Guns and anxiety

    I grew up with guns. My father kept a loaded Remington 11 in the closet of his and my mother's bedroom. My mother had a Colt's Police Positive Special in .32-20 WCF and was quite accurate with it. When my father had to be out of town on business, mother always had that Colt's on the...

    LEO's Chime In

    Boys & girls, if you can't shoot like this, you just don't practice enough. :D L.W.

    New NRA ad gives liberals panic attacks

    I think that those here who resent the NRA ad in question are forgetting that for many, many years, going back to the early 1960s (As the media vomited incessantly, "JFK was assassinated because the NRA is against simple, common sense gun control laws,"ad nausem.) there has been a full court...

    Gun Laws in Scandinavia

    People in those European countries do not have the faintest understanding or knowledge of why our colonies revolted against "the Mother country," England. Europeans, having been "the King's subjects" for two thousand years, the ideas of the American colonists insisting on Unalienable...

    Newly manufactured Glaser Safety Slugs available end of July.

    I know a now-retired police officer who had to shoot a bad guy he was trying to arrest on a robbery warrant, years ago. He was using the Glazers in his .38 Spec. The "bullet" hit the guy just to the right and a couple inches below his nipple. He told me the bad guy dropped his handgun and...

    Super BlackHawk from 74, anything to know about ahead of time?

    I had my Ruger Super Blackhawk Magna-Ported many years ago. Helped tame the recoil with heavy loads and the noise never bothered me. 'Course, at the range, I use ear plugs and muffs. ;) L.W.

    Let's talk defensive REVOLVERS for bears...

    In Black bear country -- and that is almost all of Idaho -- I carry my S&W 57 .41 Magnum. Bought it new in 1980 and it works just fine for me. L.W.

    Assume You're Not Confronting a Bear, Mountian Lion, Wolf, or Other N. American Predator ... ?..HG ?

    Same here, but I'd add the occasional rabid raccoon, fox, or coyote. Colt's Lightweight Commander .45 ACP in a good holster is mighty easy packing ... and is quite sufficient for any threat I might encounter out in the boonies. L.W.

    Situational awareness, watching your six, and retention holsters

    From the amount of blood pooling around the unconscious victim's neck, I'd guess the murderous thug hit him in the neck with a knife. By the time the EMTs arrived, he'd have bled out enough to be in a coma. Just my guess. L.W.
