    Two new boat anchors.

    My grandfather once sold me a mower he was frustrated with. I brought it home and discovered that the spark plug wire was slightly compressed against the engine cover, apparently just enough that it grounded out and wouldn't start. Fixed it and used that thing for several years.

    Widow auction rant

    One of my customers passed away last summer. His daughter called in December to say that her mother was afraid to keep the few he had, especially since the Newtown shooting. They were actually thinking of taking them to the police department for turn-in. I told her I would help her find buyers...

    Browning A5 buying advice

    Two years ago my dad gave me his Sweet 16. He bought it new in 1960, the year I was born and it's still in very nice shape. I killed my very first deer with it way back in 1976. I have a Light 12, too, with a 26" IC barrel and a 28" Full choke barrel. It's my turkey gun as well as just about...

    What does your wife or significant other carry?

    My better half began with a Model 60, then a Springfield XD40. After that a KelTec PF 9. I bought myself a Kahr CW9 and she took it away from me! I had to get myself another so that's what we both now carry, and have for more than two years. Still completely satisfied.

    Committing an unspeakable atrocity today!

    I graduated high school in 1978. Carried a pocket knife all 12 years. My 11th & 12th grade Agriculture classes taught the NC Hunter Safety course and even finished up with skeet shooting at the rear of school property. The principal wouldn't let me bring my shotgun on the bus I drove. Mom had to...

    How to get my gun shy gf to shoot?

    Get her to attend a NRA Women on Target if you can. Some friends of mine & I who are certified instructors volunteer twice a year at our local events. It's a blast....for us and the ladies, too! We're very careful about safety and making sure everyone has a good experience. I can't remember EVER...
