    Justifying Concealed Carry Reciprocity

    Some states require mandatory training and testing for a carry permit and some do not. The notion that permit requirements are similar except for the justification to carry isn't accurate. When the Feds try to 'force' states that are not reciprocity friendly to allow people from out of state...

    Justifying Concealed Carry Reciprocity

    I am at odds with some things the NRA supports. Every time Wayne LaPierre says the NRA supports NICS it makes me vomit. After Sandy Hook, I was totally against the NRA's idea of setting up Federally funded armed security guards at all schools across the nation. Sorry, but just because the NRA...

    Put the LaRue MBT-2S in the wife's AR today. It's not a drop-in but installation is straight forward as can be. Install trigger, insert trigger pin. Install hammer, insert hammer pin. Reinstall safety and grip. Done. The trigger is as smooth as any aftermarket 2S trigger. Very nice. First...

    Another new flashlight

    Fortunately, the Stinger "DS" stands for Dual Switch. I got backup! :D I have a couple Streamlight Stylus Pros. The rubber cap or the switch have a reputation for failing. It's a good thing we never use them. :p Only retuned one Streamlight and that was a 3C maybe 15 years ago. Batteries...

    So Comcast sent a new modem...

    The modem I have is good for 300+Mbps. Maybe yours was not up to speed for a change in service. Xfinity told me they were going to 100Mpbs minimums around here. This hotspot thing got me to thinking about the new cell phone service Xfinity is offering. The rates are significantly lower than...

    Idiotic Start-Stop cars

    I can imagine... but as a practical matter if the 'negative effect' doesn't manifest during the typical lifecycle of the vehicle it's a non issue, particularly when the upside is increased fuel mileage. Having an engine bearing capable of lasting a million more miles after the vehicle is...

    Idiotic Start-Stop cars

    Didn't ask me.... but I believe the writers but ya can't look at this stuff through a 50 year old lens. Associate editor at AutoWeek, Wesely Wren, wrote on stop/start a few months ago. Snips from article linked below. The frequent cycling can strain internal engine parts, too. Most engine...

    Turn pubic hotspot on or off. How to Turn XFINITY WiFi Home Hotspot On or Off - My Account Help I have Xfinity and use my own Motorola modem along with the new Airport Extreme. Got the modem at BestBuy a few years ago. Box said it was good for Comcast at the time. Why was your old modem not...

    Another new flashlight

    I think this new flashlight will probably be one of the most used if for no other reason we'll know where it is. :D

    Marketing 101

    $40... sounds like a bargain compared to taking the wife out to dinner and a movie which costs twice as much and all I get out of it is indigestion and a two-hour nap. :D Did you guys see LoadOut accessories? LoadOut 5-Gallon Bucket Accessories | YETI $30 lid. $20 caddy $40 gear belt $50 tie...

    No Flash Supressor Threads

    Compliant model. Either you ordered the wrong rifle or were shipped a rifle different than you ordered. This is of no help to you now, but for others who might find themselves in a similar situation when ordering a new firearm online it is important to read the seller's firearm return policy...

    Anyone here use a Windows Phone?

    I haven't been following Windows very close but I thought the new Win10 compatibility between all Windows devices was supposed to be working well. Not so?

    A foolish thing happened this morning.

    Not a high-speed low-drag operator. I'm just a guy walking his dog at the park. I slip an LCP in my pocket in the morning and it stays there till bedtime. That I should disarm myself to get better in tune with my Zen force awareness and tactical strategies ain't happening. I'll take the risk of...

    Thinking of getting a new AR15 upper

    Hey Steve, what was the final verdict? So far so good with the Palmetto light weight for my wife. Close to 1k rounds and no hiccups. Been shooting Fed XM193 because of the low prices with rebates.

    Minimum caliber for Sasquatch country?

    I did a double-take when I noticed who the OP was. I thought maybe he was posting from his prison cell.
