    Just curious if anyone here who partcipated in the spare magazine thread has rethought it after LA riots.

    If you happen to be in one of these cities, one way to avoid this is to set your GPS to avoid demonstrations. This will all be over before the end of the summer. It is just noise. If you have time, go and watch the movie " The America Miracle: Our Nation is No Accident". As long as we have...

    Recent events have forced me to change direction on my EDC

    I understand that this is an older post, but the topic remains highly relevant today, especially in large US cities, with an increase in reports of car jackings. If I were to encounter such a situation, I would hope my first instinct is to call 911 immediately. While on the line with emergency...

    Is this "5 screw" a good price for $669?

    The shorter the barrel the lower the cost. This seems like a fair price.

    About a month ago . . .

    It can happen so fast, when the temp dropped in south texas to below 20deg for three weeks straight, we lost electricity, and the ice built up on the concrete. I saw the ice, new not to step in it, was setting up solar panels to charge my portable batteries, rounded the corner with ice, and was...

    Dent on recoil plate of new 686?

    I do this as well, but was reluctant to recommend this to someone that just purchased a new revolver.

    Another disappointing gun show

    I tend to take my time. I usually make one slow lap just browsing, then circle back for a second look. By the third round, I start chatting with the vendors. More often than not, that’s when I stumble across a hidden gem… usually right around the $100 mark.

    Got hit with the Dawn dish soap scam

    I’ve got a big, sweet black lab/pit mix who hits the front door so hard when someone approaches, they usually don’t stick around long. If you don’t have a furry best friend like that, maybe consider rigging up a recording of a loud, deep bark paired with some good door-shaking sound effects—just...

    THIS EVENING WILL BE VERY ROUGH - BUT HOPEFULLY WE CAN CHEER UP AN OLD & SICK FRIEND

    My own mother passed from Alzheimer’s, and I can honestly say it was the hardest way to lose someone. She was brilliant—attended Rice University for two years until she met my father, a silver-tongued USN sailor WWII vet who swept her off her feet. She married young, had a beautiful operatic...
