OP here. I'm in Oklahoma. I just saw this: https://ktul.com/news/local/experts-say-black-bear-numbers-are-on-the-rise-in-oklahoma-department-of-wildlife-population-biologist-human-conflicts-food-homes-den-core-region-country-responsible-sources#

Actually, more people are killed by moose than by bear. I have some friends who moved from urban California to rural Idaho. She's gets all misty eyed when there's a moose in her yard. The Bambi syndrome. I don't have the heart to tell her the above.

I typically use Round Up for weeds but have yet to try it on my fence rows. I'm concerned about the health reports re Round Up. What are the alternatives? The subject came up on another forum after another recent study showed negative effects w/Round Up. Some posters suggested: Formula 1: 1/2...

Assuming different brands have different levels of reliability, any tried and true brands you know of? "Mama Fisher's Homemade Environmentally Safe Bear Repellant" might not be the best choice when Yogi sees me building a fire. What brand is better? Also, what's the shelf life for a can of...

My thought is that these hypothetical philosophical meanderings are a waste of time and bandwidth. My thought is I don't care. Either way. I don't care about a gun's history or about events that might not have ever happened.

I don't remember where I got this, but it's an interesting read.

You were lucky. The vast majority of collectors will eschew a gun marred with non-original markings. Your anecdote doesn't prove the point. Edited to add: here's my anecdote. I bought a collectable Python off of Gunbroker. I discovered it had proof marks from having been overseas. I...

Yeah, cause we all know the post office has produced a stellar performance to date. /s

I'm about there, as well. I bought some digital camera gear (Sony camera, macro lens, etc) just for that purpose. My wife: "What'd you buy that for?" I told her: "I'm going to start reducing my firearms' accumulation." She said, "No way. That's for retirement." Anyway, my FFL charges $30...

Some USPS handler is enjoying some good reading right about now.

That's nothing. I saw Tom Cruse bail out of an airplane at Mach 10. All it did was mess up his hair a little.
