Another great and storied battleship that is worth touring is the USS Missouri “Mighty MO.” She served in the Gulf War and was the last battleship to be decommissioned. She currently stands guard over the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor. So the two battleships represent the beginning and end of...

Back in the early 1960’s I was almost trapped in an all out riot. I was young and had never in my life seen such behavior, punches were being thrown, damage occurred, people were yelling and screaming, it was all very terrifying to me. I managed to survive by hiding in the men’s room. This all...

Spam is a staple in Hawaiian cuisine. You can even find it on the menu in many restaurants.

I've been very happy with mine. My Rough Rider came with both barrels. They are so cheap you can't go wrong buying one. Mine came with an American Flag plastic grip that I didn't like so I swapped it out for a wood grip.

LOL, now that I think about it, the last time I flew back home was in March and the airport was so small they didn't have a TSA precheck line, they didn't need it. Only a few flights per day and 50 passenger planes. That was also the first airport I've been to that used a ramp instead of steps...

My wife and I usually fly four times a year, so we decided to get the TSA precheck to make going through the airport security line a bit quicker. The process was easier than I thought it would be. We filled out the online application and setup an appointment at the nearest TSA/Clear center for...

That would be an easy one for me, my Taurus G2C in 9mm. Why? Because I have two of them so getting rid of one wouldn't be a problem.

Great info. I think I'll be looking into those.

I think I will start going to the gun range everyday and see if I can work with the blurry sight alignment. So far the pistol with the tritium sight is the easiest to see the sight alignment.

I was hoping to stay away from optics, but it may have to happen.

I recently had cataract surgery on my eyes and my trip to the gun range was disappointing. Because the surgery has me far-sighted, I can't get a good focus on the sight alignment. I need to practice a lot more with my new eyes or perhaps get prescription shooting glasses. Right now I'm...

The Iranian response is only going to escalate the war with Iran that Trump started. It will also probably cause the price of fuel to increase which will increase the price of most other goods. Hopefully it doesn't escalate into WWIII. I live less than one mile from what would be considered a...

Personally, I think we could have gotten Iran to give up its nuclear program if we could have made Israel to give up their nuclear weapons. Think about it, if a neighbor you hate had a cannon pointed at your house, wouldn't you want to have a cannon pointed at their house?

I renewed my Missouri CCW yesterday, it was easy peasy. The only tough part was the 44 mile roundtrip to the Sheriff’s office in the county seat, and the $50 fee for renewal. The CCW is good for 5 years so the next time it needs to be renewed I’ll be 84 years old…God willing. Since Missouri is...

I agree. It makes you wonder what percentage of the population actually carries a firearm. I know if I would have been involved a demonstration for Israeli prisoners, or any other demonstration, I would have been carrying for sure.
