    Gun shows - anyone find them of value?

    I just started going to gunshows in the last 6 months. I always find something. I bought 2 AR's at the last 2 gunshows I went to and got a better deal than I found on the internet anywhere, particularly when you figure the FFL fee into it. The taxes pretty much offset that. I have found AR...

    Gun safe location. Garage? Bad idea?

    Yeah, that's why he doesn't get too uptight about it. He isn't the kind of guy to stock pile. he just has a handful of average guns. In all likelyhood, this probably wasn't the ideal situation for a massive thread debate but the concept in and of itself is certainly a good one. I know I...

    Gun safe location. Garage? Bad idea?

    I agree with everything you have said. Honestly, he never thought this through. The framing, roofing and windows are already in. We actually just started having this conversation a couple weeks ago. He just never gave it a second thought. He just always assumed he would just put it in his...

    Gun safe location. Garage? Bad idea?

    That is how I think but he is the tightest man in america. LOL. He had a budget in mind for the house long ago. I warned him he would never be within it and at minimum to plan for 10% over.......He was adamant about it.....I was right... HA. So, he isn't wanting to do anything further to...

    Gun safe location. Garage? Bad idea?

    IMO, the most concerning thing is the heat and humidity. I am not sure how confident I would be that a dehumidifier would do the job under those conditions. I know my garage can get close to or even over 100 degrees at times during the summer. I have to imagine the safe would be sweltering...

    Gun safe location. Garage? Bad idea?

    I have a buddy that is building a new house. They are downsizing from their current place and thus, their house will be smaller and space will be limited. He currently has his safe in the basement but in the new place, his intention was to put it in his garage. the garage is to be heated in...

    visit to Doctor

    My response first would be. "Why do you want to know"? I would keep asking various questions until I got them talking about the real reason why they want to know. That would be followed by "Well, looks like we will be finding a new doctor. It was a good run. Later"

    So...what is the big deal about a box?

    I am one that feels the need to keep the box. BUT! I am trying to figure out what I should do with the manuals and paperwork, the test fired round and even the lock. The locks I plan to just keep all in a ammo box together. The boxes I am just stacking them together (empty) in my storage...

    Siren call of pocket carry

    There is always "that guy". Don't be "that guy" Accidents do happen. Only weirdos and crazies like to puff out their chest and basically claim "my finger is my safety".

    Siren call of pocket carry

    All my handguns are Ruger (LC9, SR9 and sr9e. Sr9c on the way) but I couldn't go with the LCP. (Love Ruger safety features.) I refuse to carry or own a gun without a manual safety. So I went with the SW bodyguard. 380. I either pocket carry with no holster (going to attach a pocket clip some...

    Big belly carry...

    First part of that is NOT true.

    Big belly carry...

    How is a glock, with no manual safety and one in the chamber as safe as "any gun"? Even in a holster a handgun with a manual safety is exponentially more safe than one without a safety. This argument is crazy. Mistakes and accidents happen. They happen all the time. Not only do people end up...
