    Deported back to the U.S. because of a .25 Auto.

    Cruises aren't cheap and he won't receive a refund for it either. So, gun confiscated and lose the cost of the cruise, expensive lesson.

    Strange Change

    That's cool that your parents started a coin collection for you when you were little.

    Strange Change

    My wife and I recently came back from a road trip. When she did the laundry, she checked my pockets for change and along with what I normally have, she found two old nickels (1883 and 1906) and a one centavos coin from Cuba dated 1946. I wish I knew what convenience store I got those from on our...

    USS Alabama: Fearsome Battleship to Historical Monument

    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...

    Surviving Civil Unrest is an Unfortunate and Necessary Skill These Days

    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...

    Any Rough Riders here?

    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.

    TSA Precheck

    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...

    TSA Precheck

    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...

    You HAVE to get rid of a gun in your collection...

    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.

    New Eyes and Sight Alignment

    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.

    New Eyes and Sight Alignment

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