    Galvanic corrosion in aluminum & steel firearms

    With so many firearms made of both aluminum and steel, how come we don't see examples of galvanic corrosion, e.g., corrosion between the dissimilar metals?

    Can you hold someone at gunpoint in your home state?

    Is there any circumstance where you, as a non-LEO, in your home state, can legally hold someone at gunpoint until police arrive? I'm thinking in my home state such a circumstance does not exist. To hold someone at gunpoint means threatening him with death, and in my state, you can't do that...

    What's for lunch! Squirrel!

    I've been noticing my gray squirrel population get smaller, and I've been wondering who was taking them. For 7 or 8 years, until last year, the same bobcat was taking them, but I haven't seen her this year. A little while ago I finally got a glimpse of who's been taking them. Bravo Zulu, Mr...

    Facebook bankrolling anti-gun group(s)

    (edited) I saw post on an anti-gun group a couple days ago (see screen capture below), and jumped to the conclusion that Facebook was donating money to anti-gun groups. I was critical of Facebook in my initial post. David Wilson in post #13 below pointed out that Facebook also gave money to...

    Walmart people photos

    Don't get me going about Walmart. It seems every time I go to Walmart numerous people I don't even know stealthily take photos of me, mostly from behind and the side where I can't see them well. I can hear some of them chuckle. I just don't get it. Anyone else have this problem?

    Public High School Rifle Teams

    Just curious - do any public high schools still have rifle teams? My former Connecticut high school did, up until at least the late 70's, you could "letter" in it. I was just reading that my old school's coach from that era just passed away, and I found myself thinking what a shame that the...

    Putting a dent in the gray squirrel pop.

    Photo taken 15 minutes ago. She's putting a good dent in the gray squirrel population! There used to often be 6 - 8 squirrels hanging around the feeder at any one time, now it's empty of squirrels, and now and then 1 to 3 of them. Good kitty! When I posted a pic of her a few days ago I said...
