    Review: Tuff Writer Precision Press Pen

    Many sources in the firearms/knife community are offering their own variants and most of them are considerably cheaper than this offering. The problem with this one is that it looks like a weapon and the Springfield Armory logo doesn't help when trying to get through "non permissive"...

    Daffy Zone…..

    Where were you working? In 1966 most HS teachers were making between $3,000 and $4,000 a year. Management Trainees at the large retailers worked 60+ hours a week for $3,600 per year. PFCs were making $80.00 a month plus three hots and a cot. $2.50 an hour would mean $5,200.00 a year on a 40...

    Hotel Chains for Gun Owners

    Once upon a time several of us took turns going up in the St. Louis Arch. Some of us held the guns and knives, etc for the ones going up and when they were back, they held our stuff while we went up. STL has been rough and it is getting rougher all the time. Even the Chase Park and the Hill...

    Burdette Custom Detective Holster Review — CCW Leather for the SA-35

    Pretty, but sits too low for concealed carry and it has no retention for open carry. :confused:

    Gun Belts for EDC and CCW

    The article is very short on specifications. How thick? How wide? What kind of leather? Why do they consider one to have faster drawing speed? et al....

    Small gun shop survival.

    Living in Illinois, most of the smaller gun dealers are already gone, and it makes me sad and mad. :mad: The requirement for a state dealer's license on top of the federal one plus all the electronic requirements put a lot of good dealers out of business. That said, no retail store is going to...

    Hotel Chains for Gun Owners

    The chain (IHG) puts a notice in their online receipt once you have already booked the room. They still say it is a property by property decision but I have not found a property in 2024 that didn't prohibit guns on the property. It has been a real problem when flying in and getting to the...

    Hotel Chains for Gun Owners

    Back in the 90s I was competing regularly in cowboy mounted shooting and by the time we boarded my horse and started looking for a hotel, Motel 6 was the only choice we could find. The parking lot was a parade of hookers and drug dealers and users. :( We unloaded everything and left nothing in...

    Hotel Chains for Gun Owners

    For years we have used Holiday Inn as our choice of chains. They have become very anti gun. :mad: We are cancelling their credit card and looking for a hotel chain that wants our business. (We are Diamond Elite with them.) Any suggestions?

    Ryobi or Milwaukee

    Until recently my brother in law (who came out of a fine Republican family but had become a pretty liberal Democrat) owned a lot of tools as he became a kitchen and bathroom remodeler after retiring as a high school shop teacher is now retired. I was envious of all of his shop tools. Of course...

    Ryobi or Milwaukee

    All of my corded tools date back to the 1970s and 1980s except a few even older ones I inherited. As a result they are all Milwaukee. I also bought some of their early battery tools. As a result, I banned battery tools and required all tools be manual or corded. Today I have relented and now...

    SA XDs .45ACP

    Lots of thoughts and questions about this gun. Is there some method to change the grips on the first model to the more recent version without buying another whole gun? Have there been improvements on the trigger that could be fitted to the early model?

    Is it time for national carry?

    Some gun owners, like most of my family, are Libertarians, but I am always going to vote for guns. Unrestricted gun ownership which includes any form of carry and every form of self defense of people and property first and foremost. Calling myself a Libertarian is an announcement of my...

    Is it time for national carry?

    Given the election results, it seems to me that now is the time for the returning POTUS to push for legislation that allows for national constitutional carry - concealed or open. What do you think?

    Almost anyone can buy a new vehicle... keeping an older vehicle on the road is another matter.

    I bought a 1975 International Harvester 3/4 ton new and sold it in 2004 when I sold my horses. I have no idea how many miles were on it. Roll windows, no radio, marginal heat and wipers but it could still haul a horse trailer.
