Saw this just after I put a S&W 1911 in my cart at Midway and wondering the same. I'm 70 next month and had to sell my collection of mostly S&W older revolvers upon my divorce 8 years ago. Since I have been slowly buying again mostly new guns now as my old revolvers are darn expensive now. I...

My draft number was 2 in 1972 and after going for my physical and told to go home and wait to be called I decided to get my US citizenship and enlist in the USAF as many of my uncles were Canadian RAF in WWII and after. After basic and tech school I was assigned to a small nuke site in NE Italy...

My second back surgery I was told if I didn't pee on my own in 24 hours after surgery I'd get cathed. I couldn't pee for the life of me until the last half hour and I swear I willed myself to.

In the 60s and early 70s we were stopped on a regular basis just for being kids. I once got stopped in my car and accused of trying to outrun the officer since I made so many turns on the city streets. I said no but I'm taking my girlfriend home and this is the route to her street. We got let...

My Mom grew up in Nova Scotia in 20s and 30s. My uncle who was older had lobster traps he worked to make a little money. Of course the family ate a lot of them too and got tired of them but would make a big deal out of a little beef hamburger if they could afford any. It's all relevant to what's...

It sure isn't the same company it once was when I did like them. It must have been mid 60s when we went to the first one in Ontario, Canada. It was a sit down place with a waitress and real plates and silverware. Food was great and mashed potatoes were real too. The paper placemat had an offer...

I remember a vacation with family in 1959 we stopped at a drive-in restaurant in Maine and they had lobster rolls for $.25 and a hotdog for $.30. Guess what we ordered. I don't think I'd chance lobster at McDonalds although I took a chance and ordered a couple lobster tails and steak at Ruby...

I have both a 36 and 37 and pocket carry both. Both have bobbed hammers and DAO. I'm carrying the 36 now but had carried the 37 quite a bit last year. I may go back to the 37 as in summer I wear shorts and lighter would be nicer. I have little trouble shooting either and weight isn't that much...

It's been years since I worked on them but U-line seemed to get most of the business for small under counter units. In later years I worked on bigger commercial units but they'd be overkill for home use. Some of those commercial ones were small enough for under a counter as were used for point...

We had snow yesterday and I wore my down parka. Just came back in from the backyard with the dogs and no jacket even. 70 predicted for this weekend. Spring is slow in Michigan this year yet three weeks ago I had just a tee shirt on, crazy stuff.

I'd have walked away myself from such a deal and I almost did at closing a couple weeks ago as a seller. My court order with my ex-wife called for a 50/50 split and found at closing I had deducted other monies I was to repay her but separate from the house. One expense I'd paid down already and...

I'm guilty. Just the other night I bought a Sig AR pistol on Gun Broker. I'd found the best deal and asked my brother and his buddy standing in the kitchen should I and those two enablers said sure so I clicked the buy tab. Now I can hardly wait until it gets to my FFL likely Wed. and go shoot...

I agree with you 100% and shoots holes in the anti's claim of ARs not being hunting weapons. I hunted in Wyoming a few years back for mule deer with friends which one was from Arkansas. He's retired Naval officer and big time shooter and gun collector. He shoots daily on his property and can...

In Michigan we're required to inform LEOs on a traffic stop if we are carrying. My cousin forgot to once and lost his permit for 6 months. I wondered though what if we come into contact with an LEO in say a store should we inform him. What I learned and believe true is yes if it's official...

I do remember the law in Canada in 1971 at least that required food to be served if you ordered alcohol but then I thought it was every day of the week and we got snacks free. Later years in the 80s I sailed my boat to Ontario a couple times. We had to buy beer in bars or Provincial liquor...

Good for the homeowner and I like these stories with a happy ending like this. The subdivision I used to live in was built in the 50s and I knew some of the original owners as I was real involved in our block club which was effective BTW. One of the old timers told me in 50s or 60s they had...

I'm in the process of trying to sell a 1970 ranch 1450 sq feet on 9 acres of good hunting property after putting a whole lot of money on upgrades and repairs over the over years. I get complaints about it being too small and price too high. I've lowered price once and currently have two...

There should be a chart with a legion inside one of the panels you take off front of furnace. It should give you the reason for the fault code flashing on the control board. They are usually fairly accurate to get you looking in the right place at least. Call a tech though once you know you're...

Besides guns I kept important papers, jewelry, old silver coins and some cash. Of course my wife had access to it as we were married 25 years and she had stuff in it too. Big mistake as she cleaned out everything she wanted and took pictures and a count of my guns and filed for divorce. Had to...

My buddy's father-in-law was a sportscaster for a Detroit radio station in the mid 80s and was given two box seats for the Tigers World Series at Detroit. He asked me to go with him and we were both real excited about going until it came down to the last game to go to the World Series and the...
