    Business CEO's and business practices in general

    I retired from a C level IT position several years ago. The major concern I had in the last few years was about the people. About getting the resources they needed to make the organization and themselves successful, and for some, keeping their jobs which were in jeopardy due to politics. I...

    moving my herd east, looking for advice

    I just moved about 10 months ago. Like someone else said though, not as far as you're planning. I oiled each handgun, put each in a ziplock bag (Amazon), and then in a hard rifle case or pelican case. Long arms got oiled before they went in cases. Some older long arms got wrapped in old...

    Used a Winchester Shotgun to cut down a tree branch

    My dad used to go out in the swamp and do that when I was a kid............. That was, of course, a long long time ago.

    Holster/Belt rig

    I have a bunch of EPS belts and holsters. I use the Austin holster for a lot of the handguns I drag around the property. While I have an EPS Blackpowder belt, I tend to use narrower, thicker belts like a Hanks Gunner or similar. Just easier to strap it on, take it off and throw it in the...

    38 special brass- what brand do you like by best? Any to avoid?

    I load every brand of brass for 38, but PMC and Starline have been the best for me.

    Home Defense Shotguns

    Some discussion about shotguns being unwieldy. I find any firearm I'm not familiar with to be a little unwieldy whether pistol, rifle, or shotgun. I'm guessing I just haven't internalized the manual of arms for something I haven't used extensively. That said, I've used shotguns all my life...

    It's all just stuff...

    I've been through the process the OP describes with parents, siblings, aunts, uncles. I've had to go through and dispose of so much "stuff" I long ago reached the place he describes. You just don't care much about stuff. Maybe it's having to wade through the disposition of so many people's...

    Looks like we are getting a new 617 and 610 mountain gun

    Already have a 617, but I do like the 10.

    Lever action assault rifles

    Agree. I wish they would come out with a submachine gun that shoots 1/2 inch toy rubber bouncy balls at about 500fps. I'd have a use for that.

    Lever action assault rifles

    I can possibly see some value to someone as a backup gun in Grizzly country, but it has no value to me. I can shoot a pump 12 much faster than I can a lever gun, even with Brenneke's. Don't get me wrong. I like lever's and have a few, but they are the opposite end of the spectrum from...

    New A/C Unit

    That's about what I paid for one a couple of years ago so I'd say you did OK.

    Gun show dilemma

    I have the same problem. But, one day it will be my kids problem and I won't be worrying about it then. :D

    Best place to live?

    I would suggest Louisiana, but I don't think you'd like the heat, bugs, and roads, lol. However, my son moved to eastern Tennessee five years ago, lives on a mountain ridge top and loves it. It is a beautiful place. He met and married a girl from New York who came there for the same reasons.

    Has the Scout Rifle Outlived it's Hey Day?

    Lol, I don't care what people say about 243. It's a rifleman's hunting caliber. Like a scalpel to a doctor. It's not for everyone.

    Has the Scout Rifle Outlived it's Hey Day?

    Not a true scout rifle, but my first deer rifle was a Ruger 77RSI in 308 with a 1.5-4.5x scope. It was a small and light package back when I was young and hunted way way up in trees. Took a lot of deer with that and never had to shoot twice. Of course, that was a lifetime ago. I'm happy now...

    Mag carrier for Shield EZ 9

    I use sneaky pete mag carriers. Not a double, but they work well for me.

    The danger of a hot wheel track

    As far back as I can remember the official tool at our house was a broken flank cinch from a saddle. No buckles of course. I think some of the grandkids got it too, but I was long gone by then.
