    When Pigs Fly

    Misses Houston has never been supportive of the firearm stockpile, but near twisted my arm to buy a firearm last weekend. We were in an antique shop in no where Texas after dropping my daughter at college and at the bottom of the gun cabinet was this handsome oxidized- no rust - Saturday night...

    AK47 Fans

    My son is an AK-47 fan. He hopes to track down a good Romanian AK-47 with a standard wood stock. I assume there are web sites where he can get more information. Does anyone have any recommendations of web sites where he can learn more? Thank you!

    Spanish Star

    I am curious as to how many have Star firearms stashed with their S&W's and Rugers. I have had this low- end Star for a long time and it has worked quite well - particularly for the price. I would buy another model, if I get back to buying guns. Anyone else like these?

    Favorite Non-Smith 9mm Handgun

    I have not posted one of my "surveys" in a long time. Please post your favorite non-Smith 9mm handgun. Stories, anecdotes and pictures welcome. I ask because I have three of them and after thinking about the 10 gun post I realized that I cannot decide. A FN MKIII High Power (hunted for one at a...

    Congratulations South Carolina on New Carry Law.

    I have not seen the fine print, but the headlines of your new carry law look very favorable. Congratulations to all who worked on it.

    What is the smart way to get TV

    Cable and satellite TV have become outrageously expensive. Maybe looking to get Philo through Roku or Firestick. Anyone doing this? Anyone have a better way? Philo has the channels Mrs. Houston likes. Thank you in advance.

    Progressive vs Non-Progressive lenses

    Well for the last few decades I listened like a good patient and bought progressive lenses for all my glasses. Last week, I bought some non-progressive prescription sunglasses for driving with my regular prescription glasses and WOW what an improvement in vision over the progressive lenses. Has...

    Metal M&P

    I have not been tempted by too many firearms of late, but really liked handling the metal ("Bronze & Gray") M&P 2.0. Expensive as you would expect, but maybe worth it? Anyone have one of these? Any differences other than the frame?

    It finally Happened...

    Restaurants and others have been encouraging me to use computers and kiosks to order and I have dodged it. Tonight, I went into the local Taco Bell since the drive through was wrapped around the building. I started to order and before I said the second item, the kid ran off to make the first...

    The holidays are over

    With the holidays behind us, for many it is time to slim down again. Yes, you could regal us with tales of how your metabolism burns 20,000 calories a day or how you can eat anything and stay fit as long as you work your farm or keep running marathons or Sumo wrestling, but for those of us who...

    Man with 200 guns (and a flamethrower) pleads guilty

    I am not sure what to think about this. I cannot tell what is really going on, what is he really "guilty" of? Lying on form 4473? Man who had more than 200 guns at home to plead guilty

    Feeling Low

    There was a time when I could buy a gun every so often and not be exiled to the coach, but with both kids in college, I was banished tonight for buying a magazine at the gun show today. It was worth it though because it was an S&W factory mag for my S&W Model 3913 for $40. Sleeping on the coach...

    Gutter Guards etc.

    I spent much of this lovely day scraping pine needles and stuff out of my gutters. Age and aversion to falls and cardiac arrest have made me ponder the value of the often-advertised gutter guards etc. I have trees over my roof (Two large pines and a modest oak) and most of what gets in my...

    Cable/Satellite TV how to bring down the cost?

    I know more than a few here have cut the cord and done without. I did not own a TV until I was married and cutting the cord is now not an option. Satellite was a bargain alternative for a while, but it has slowly crept up to the same price as basic cable. So how do we have a range of options and...

    Mauser Broomhandle (C96)

    Along with Lugers, the iconic 1911 and others some of us grew up seeing the Mauser Broomhandle (C96) in movies and WWII TV shows ("Combat"). I understand they were great for their time, but are (understandably) significantly less reliable in cycling than modern handguns. Or so I hear. For...

    Bolt down or no?

    I have a large gun safe and crime is on the rise as break ins start moving nearer and nearer to my neighborhood. Should I bolt down my gun safe? Does it make much difference if you are gone for a week or even a weekend? I suspect the safe will keep the amateurs and kids at bay bolted down or...
