    Looming California nightmare ...

    This load of micro-stampng nonsense is a black cloud hovering over Californians who support 2A. The article shows the folly of the anti-2A fanatics, who rely on fantasy assumptions about a technology that still has not been properly developed, let alone implemented. God help us all. Gun rights...

    Thunder Ranch 325 on Walking Dead?

    On last night's new episode, the scene where Maggie opens the trunk and finds a bound & gagged zombie, she appears to have a TR 325. It is definitely a revolver with the IL, and it seemed to have the rail area under the barrel.

    CCW options ... One, two, or more?

    I'm curious to learn how many handguns Forum members generally use for CCW. I'm not talking about NY reloads, nor carry for woods/hiking/etc. Just normal everyday CCW in town, shopping, etc. I have three J-frames in rotation ... 37, 60, and 342 ... and on occasion will go with a 624 snub or 3"...

    Low tide ...

    The Mighty Susquehanna has been victim to drilling company water vampires draining its precious content every day and night for quite some time. Well, the level got so low recently that the river bottom was exposed ... Not surprisingly, evidence of countless boating accidents was visible everywhere.

    ... after making the mistake of clicking on video footage of the Jordanian pilot being burned alive by ISIS. It was actually a 23 minute propaganda film of glorified terrorist rhetoric and sadism, the likes of which I cannot recall seeing before. Please be advised, if you find the link on any...

    RIP Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper. Air disasters are often overlooked as causes for losing our musical idols, but they've taken a toll over the decades. Add members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Randy Rhoads, Otis Redding, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jim Croce, and John Denver to the list.
