    Be sure to keep your health insurance

    I had heart surgery last month. (The last Saturday of January to be precise.) The bills are now rolling in. The hospital charge was $219,600! It does not include the doctors' charges nor the cardiac rehab center. Five days! Between Medicare, I'm 76, and Blue Cross Blue Shield Supplemental...

    Good laugh at bad add

    I was just reading an email add from an outfit called Daltech. It had a picture of a concealed carry t shirt type of product with a safe blue gun in the "holster" pocket. The part that cracked me up, with the gun in the underarm left side, was the fact that the gun was in the holster...

    Locking Credit Reports - Recommendations?

    I'm a senior citizen that has paid all my debts all my life. (Sometimes it was very difficult.) I may be paranoid, but I now fear identity theft more then ever. I know that I can contact the three main agencies, and request they lock my information. Can anyone recommend one of the companies...

    Check your tire air pressure lately?

    Just a friendly reminder, all tires lose some air pressure over time. AND, tires do lose pressure when the air temperature gets lower. If you haven't checked your tire pressure for a month or more, with the seasonal change, you are probably under pressured by at least 10%.

    Does Pittsburgh have a "bad" side?

    My wife and I are going to an event near the stadium that I think is called Three Rivers. She also wants to go the Conservatory that is across the river. (We will be staying on Forbes Avenue.) I know there are places like Durham NC, sections of Chicago etc. to avoid. Years ago a friend...

    Darren Wilson's Sidearm? (Missouri police officer)

    Does anyone know what his sidearm was? I'm glad the other side of the story is starting to come out.

    M&P FS 40 shell casings deformed question

    On not my last range trip, but the one before it, I noticed that the empty casings were flat on one side. About 3/16th of inch was straight, instead of round. On the outside there was a triangle pointing away from the open end. The ammo is "Lawman 180 FMJ". Monday I took some Winchester...

    Toy gun regulations, source of blaze orange tips?

    "All toy guns must have the blaze orange tip as federal law requirement." This applies to sales and transportation. Anyone know where they may be found for purchase? I've searched, and all that I can come up with are some on ebay that look like nothing more than orange ear plugs. I have a...

    Damned if you do, damned if you don't?

    I know what the "self-defense" scenario covers. However, what I've been puzzled over lately is a situation where my life is not at risk, but feel there is an obligation to try and stop it from happening. This is why the question has been bothering me. I am near 70 and use the PA Game...

    New box lable

    S&W looks like they updated their box label and no longer code the date.

    Any known reason for an apparent shortage of Shields?

    It seems that the supply is drying up again. In June, I was down to number three on the waiting list for a new 9mm Shield at my LGS. (About nine months now!) I know there was a vacation at S&W, I know there was a trigger spring issue. But, have they maybe stopped making them while they make...

    Ammo in Wilkes-Barre 22-9-40-45s

    Dick's had a good supply of 22LRs at about noon today. They even had the economy boxes of 500 and another brand with 325 per box. (I don't need any at this time, sorry I didn't jot down the names and cost for you folks. The box of 325 rounds might have been Remingtons.) If interested, you can...

    9FS Barrel defective or not?

    Purchased about two weeks ago, new, from LGS. I checked it out at the store and it looked and seemed fine. However, looking at it a few minutes ago, has me wondering. (I have not fired it.) The barrel does not look uniformly round when looking into the muzzle. After looking at it closely, it...

    9mm Available in N.E. PA.

    About an hour ago I was at Dick's, the Wilkes-Barre Store. They had some 9mm on the shelf behind the counter. They had about a dozen boxes of American Eagle 115gr FMJ for $14.99 per box of 50. They also had about 10 boxes, I don't recall the brand, in the economy sized box of 250 rounds. It...

    Levenworth Area - Recommended Gun Shops?

    I will be soon be going to Levenworth for a few days. (No, not Ft. Levenworth Prison :) ) I'm looking for one or two gun shops that have a good selection of M&P handguns in stock, and maybe some magazines, and not have rip-off pricing. They would also have to be willing to ship to my FFL LGS...

    Need targets?

    Free? Or, at least almost free. Are you aware that if you go to Midwayusa and go to the "Knowledge Center" at the bottom of the page, there are downloadable pistol and rifle targets? You can download them and print them yourself. They print well. I also enlarged one and printed it on 13x19...

    M&P Differences in full size models?

    I've repeatedly poured over the specs on the S&W pages. The info is good, but is not presented in a consistent manner. I could provide several examples, but would rather get right to my questions. 1. Are the only differences between the FS 9/40 with and without a safety, the existence of the...

    Free Magazine Carrier - Eyeglass Case

    I don't like paying $20.00 or more for a magazine carrier, although I did buy two. I'm always watching for something else that can work well enough to use. This week, in Wallyworld, I picked up a seemingly decent one by Buckmark, for under $11.00. It holds a Luger LC9 magazine, as well as a...
