Open Carry is legal in El Paso County Colorado. This happened in the Walmart in Falcon. If it happened in the Big R in Peyton I wouldn't have given it a second thought. Man in his Sixties, dressed a rancher the tail of his shirt hung up on a revolver. That Walmart is the only one in Eastern...

Every year on New Year's Day I change out the ammunition in my carry pistol. The 2 boxes of Speer Gold Dots that I carried in 2025 got unloaded from my Glock 19 and my M&P9 and it went into my emergency stash and every so often I take some of it down to my range and shoot it. Then I loaded...

First I want to say that Colorado (at present). does not require me to inform a police officer that I'm armed in an official contact The second thing I want to say is that I have not been pulled over by the police since (I think) 2013. So in 2008 I had a job working in a group home in Green...

Die Hard is a Christmas movie: “The basic narrative situation of Die Hard is a man returning to his family for Christmas. His wife is called Holly. It takes place on Christmas Eve. Not Thanksgiving or the Fourth of July. It could have been set any week of the year, but wasn’t. The chief...

I seem to have incredibly bad luck in this area. I met one of my neighbors today. We talked a little he told me the Donkey's name is Loretta. We talked a little about livestock so maybe I gave him the opening. A few days ago something took out a bunch of my granddaughter's chickens. I...

On Jun 1865 (160 years ago) James Butler Hicock Made Made Davis Tutt (moderately) famous in Springfield Missouri over a gambling debt. (Hicock's owed Davis) No one knows for sure what specific gun Hicock used but he was known to carry a Smith and Wesson No. 2 Army Revolver There's a...

I don't live in the best neighborhood in Colorado Springs. This happened within the range of his rifle from my home. Was my safety really affected? About a month ago I heard something in the hallway outside my apartment. I looked out the door and about a yard away from my front door a...

I'm aware there's four books in the picture. Really the best one is the second book in the picture Survival In The Outdoors by Byron Dalrymple. He was born in 1910 and died in 1994. Most of the book is about preparing yourself before you go out in the woods so you don't need to build fish...

Bonnie and Clyde became reformed criminals

Okay first of all you have to understand that I am that guy. If somebody's going to get in trouble for something, even if everybody else in the world gets away with it, I'm going to be the one that gets in trouble The place that my wife and I are moving to has a private shooting range on it...

I just watched Blue Bloods season 14 episode 12, "Without Fear or Favor". Without going into the whole episode a retired cop gets into a verbal altercation with somebody in a bar and pulls out his handgun essentially to intimidate the guy into backing down. (In Colorado that would be aggravated...

I'm looking for something similar to the old Alice M16 magazine pouches but a little bit smaller for a Mini-14 magazine. I'm seriously considering just getting an old LBE set up. Basically this minus the canteen and shovel

I saw a discussion about sharpening knives on another forum yesterday. The Precision Adjust got some pretty good reviews. I mentioned to my wife that we might want to get one if we could find a good Black Friday deal. I'm not sure what convinced her but she went looking online for one and...

I'm considering getting a shoulder holster. My primary use for it would be VA appointments and the gym. I currently use my Safari Land paddle holster for the VA but I don't know if I'm wearing it wrong or what but it seems like it's almost impossible to get it off my belt and back on my belt...

I remember reading an article several years ago by Tamara Keel in which she stated that she literally buys 30 round AR-15 magazines by the case. She claimed to have hundreds of magazines still in their original packaging and she was buying more. And I want to clarify that she claimed to have...

A neighbor of mine decided she wanted to make a substantial withdrawal from her bank. My wife was concerned about her taking a cab or a ride share to the bank so I volunteered. I don't leave home unarmed, today wasn't any different but it's not something I felt the need to announce to (anyone...

This is connected to my comment about people talking too much. I used to do security at a FedEx shipping hub. The front gate had a sign on it that said all vehicles coming or going were subject to search. Every entrance to the building was posted "No Fireams/Other Deadly Weapons". The...

This is a discussion I see all over the internet. Another poster mentioned it this morning in a different discussion and it made me think about starting this discussion. As I said, this discussion has come up multiple times on other form so it's really hard to say something new about it...

I’ve seen this discussed on other forums and it seems to cause a lot of debate when it comes up. I found this video by Massad Ayoob on youtube in which he explains how he deals with a stranger at his door and there’s not much I can add to it except maybe my personal experience. I am convinced...
