    Carjacking 101

    Donald Trump has done the same, more than once if reports are true. His deal is to pay off a mortgage, though. I'm SURE that's very much appreciated.

    Answers to "The Question"

    One of my very favorites, but I use "whistle."

    What load are you using in your 38 snub?

    Let's see... Video Edit: Having viewed this video link now (I wanted to get it posted and didn't view it beforehand), I see someone beat me to the punch with the image, but the video confirms the "one shot" aspect. Still, given the bullet technology in 1963, one LRN .38 certainly seems to...

    What load are you using in your 38 snub?

    If memory serves, having seen it as it happened, Jack Ruby was gut-shot from about 12-18" away. Kind'a hard to miss from that distance, even if you're sloppy about it.

    How many of you have actually needed to draw your ccw in public?

    Regrettably, as I know you know, we don't get to choose. The most innocuous place/situation can turn sour on you through no fault of your own with no warning at all at any time regardless of any precautions you may take. It doesn't cost anything to be ready. Like they say about the lottery: it...

    Is the 45acp better than a 9mm for SD?

    Maybe these will help. .

    Took my Red dot off....

    I can relate to this. Sounded like a great idea! Getting older...aging eyes...Red Dot "perfection"! I'm a candidate!! So I bought three. Anybody wanna buy a Red Dot? I have three for sale...

    Barbeque gun

    China. Quite a group. Some years ago my Lovely Bride, an RN, and I and an RN Friend of hers and her husband went to an exhibit in NYC where they displayed Amazing human body systems...nervous system, cardiovascular, skeletal, muscular, ALL of it...in the most minute detail. It was truly amazing...

    I remember that tune...in its original radio broadcasts! I'm old, too.

    Well, she did it to me again................

    I hope you guys know the rule: Never eat a banana in front of another man. That's what I heard, anyway.

    The Q-Tip Has Been Ruined

    That's a great idea! What a time saver! Goes along with my idea (Don't Steal It!!) of a new double-ended medical thermometer design: it's oral at one end and rectal at the other so two people can use it at once!

    10 worst cities in Michigan.

    Sadly, I'm forced to agree. Summerville is seeing more and more activity like this lately and the Cane Bay area is worse. Had several shootings lately at the local supermarkets, and kids were shooting fireworks AT passing cars AND pedestrians here last week! They were tossing rocks at cars from...

    "Stopping" Power...

    I don't think that's a dealbreaker, at least for me. The woods are full of writers...gun writers, ammo guys, other wonks...who were never in Law Enforcement. That doesn't diminish their credibility or their value to the conversation. Conversely, just because someone WAS an LEO doesn't mean they...

    Thinking of new truck and considering Ford again

    I've got a '24 Colorado bought new as a leftover. Just turned 11k last week. Got the 4-turbo...PLENTY of power! The size suits me perfectly, VERY comfortable, 23+mpg commuting to work. Got a hard lid on the box and a bed liner. Strongly recommended if that means anything. Good luck.

    Pen for defense

    The John Wick thing is interesting. Great movies, very entertaining and, from a tactical perspective, very amusing from an 'unattainable talent' point of view. BUT! Keanu Reeves is really trained! He can, and does, actually DO all this stuff! Firearms training by Taran Tactical, grappling by...
