Thanks for the input. I was actually thinking of this very thing when I posed the question.

In the wake of yet another tragic shooting, we once again see politicians and the media clamoring about "gun violence", and declaring that "something must be done", in the form of new laws infringing on our 2A rights. This has me wondering... Can anyone here cite for me any cases where any sort...

Shooting or running any of the loud power equipment I own, the hearing muff/cap button dilemma only lasts as long as it takes me to rotate the head-strap back or forward about an inch.

I bought this 36 used and pre-bobbed about 20 years ago, and immediately discovered that it did indeed have an occasional tendency to misfire. Dropped in a slightly heavier Wolff mainspring and problem solved.

Call me a curmudgeon all day long if you like, but I really feel the AI technology is going to be a world-changing disaster. It has already gotten to the point that it drastically affects the daily decision-making processes of a lot of people, and will eventually - and I think sooner rather than...

I have killed deer with long bow, recurve bow, compound bow, crossbow, muzzleloader, shotgun, handgun, and rifle. They are all valid. Have fun and be safe.

Lily is a 2-1/2 year old Australian Shepherd/Heeler mix. Here she poses in front of a photo of her predecessor, Ladysmith, with our 2 Norwegian Fjord horses. When Lily engages her begging eyes, treats are generally forthcoming.

I had this one up until a few years ago. My daughter and her husband were visiting from LA, and he was sort of a burgeoning gun enthusiast - very safe and respectful - so I opened my safe and told him to go ahead and paw through things. After a bit I heard her squeal with delight, and walked in...

Reseeded the north pasture/shooting range today.

I don't have any active interest in adding current-production firearms to my menagerie. However, if S&W were to offer an L-frame .41 magnum with a 5" barrel, adjustable sights and blued finish....well, I could be persuaded.

Joining the conversation for the fun of it now... Living in a rural area where potential collateral damage/injuries is of minimal concern, I have a shotgun set up for home defense more as a practical exercise than as a primary go-to weapon. My #1 HD gun is a 9mm SBR with suppressor, followed by...

Woke up this morning and had to put on slippers and a light jacket to have my coffee on the deck at our home in central Wisconsin. There have been a lot of geese flying lately, the tomatoes are ripening fast, and we're losing about 3 minutes of sunlight a day. The air feels crisp. I haven't had...

I really don't understand why someone would do this. I'd have let him go at least another year...

I've never weighed it, measured it, or taken pictures of it. Sort of a personal policy.

Last year I awoke one morning to find over 100 email messages in my inbox. Most appeared to be acknowledgements that I had signed up for regular info emails from various government agencies, and after looking at a dozen or so, I just started going through and deleting them without reading. I was...
