I really like the CRKT Plan B. Nice, well-designed handle that fits the hand, steel that is adequate for everyday tasks, crappy sheath for belt purposes but fine for pocket carry (you can just flick the sheath off with your thumb as you draw the knife). CRKT doesn't make it any more, but it's...

Let's put the shoe on the other foot. Submit an article to the paper including the names, home addresses and workplaces of the editorial and reporting staff, and note in the article that none of these folks was listed in the previous article as CCW holders. Ask them if they think they might be...

I think everybody wrestles with that decision in some fashion. I grew up in a household that didn't have toy guns -- only real ones -- and I've owned weapons since I was 11. Yet even I have asked myself the questions: Am I willing to kill, swiftly and without compunction, someone who is...

Low temperature for longer times seems to work better (I put them in the warming shelf, about 200 degrees, for about six hours). All of the instructions I've seen for various products also specify wrapping them in plastic until they cool down, or they'll just suck the moisture out of the room...

I recently picked up the All-Weather Ultra Light chambered in .30-06, about 5 inches longer and half a pound heavier than the .308 you're looking at. I love carrying it, but I'm going to have to do some pretty serious recoil-management research: as I discovered yesterday when I put my first...

Don't trust the online legal sites for churches. Instead, talk to some actual lawyers in your area that deal with liability issues, among others. Our experience with the generic legal advisors is that they are risk-averse to a fault, and sometimes allow that risk aversion to convince...

Do you mean in the "Reply to Thread" dialog, or in the body of the thread itself? What I see for any given post is just the online / offline status light and a button to report the thread. I'm okay with editing replies manually, but it'd be nice if there were a way to automate the process a...

Nope, and I have about the worst hand/eye coordination of anybody I know, but I'll hang out with you and throw stuff as long as you promise to stay out of the 180 degrees toward which I'm throwing!

John Adams had it right when he wrote in 1765 that "British liberties are not the grants of princes and parliaments." Rights do not originate with governments, and should be infringed by them only under specific circumstances, after the exercise of due process. You have a right to keep and...

We like the BioBox, but we got ours for under $100 during the Sharper Image bankruptcy sale. Not sure I'd pay the retail price of $250.

I use Sack-Ups for those weapons (long and short) that don't move in and out of the safe multiple times per week. The ones that are in constant rotation get wiped down with Gunzilla once every couple of weeks.

My Saturday knives are pretty much the same as my weekday knives. Well, except for the Woodsman's Pal. That one might raise an eyebrow or two if carried in town during the week ... :D

Could you expand on that a bit? During his stint as a shepherd, David tangled with the occasional lion and bear, emerged victorious, and thereby protected his flock. I'm trying to imagine how those principles wouldn't carry across to the protection of the congregation under a pastor's care (by...

I do a bit of preaching myself, from time to time. The pulpit definitely gives you the best view of your flock and any potential attackers, but not necessarily the most unobstructed field of fire. I'm thinking along the lines of working with a few of the CCWers in the congregation to ensure...

My theory on the freezer approach to sharpening is simply that cold metal is harder to bend than warm metal. Instead of bending away from the stone, the metal stays put and allows itself to be shaped to the desired perfect edge. Whether it's durable upon warming depends mostly on the shape...

"Hanging fire" -- another one from the flintlock rifles.

No, dude, you've got it all wrong. All the best Hollywood and Brady experts agree that you have to hold the gun sideways in order to spray from the hip without wrist pain! :D

Ultimately, you do what works for you. During dog-training exercises, my right-handed father tosses live pigeons with his left hand and drops them on the same spot on the ground to ensure that each dog gets the same test, time after time, with a shotgun braced on his right hip. I can do just...

I'm looking at this round as well, and like the penetration, but doesn't the cavitation channel look a bit skinny?

Speedloaders. I made sure that my CCW holster has a place for them, and there is no circumstance other than plinking in which I would not be doing the Ayoob Stressfire reload (crane out, barrel vertical, hit ejector with palm of support hand to dump all cartridges, support hand cradles cylinder...
