As I recall I was asked some general questions (how many handguns, long guns), only had to provide make and model (ie. Ruger Blackhawk 44 Magnum, 7 1/2") and approximate value of my stuff, not serial numbers. On advice of my agent, I took multiple photos of all my stuff and photos of my safe...

What about just a rider or umbrella on your homeowners?

Sadly, I think all legislators (local, state, Federal), are only loyal to their donors, not their constituents. That’s why we see some ridiculous legislation proposed at each level, every year. That’s how the elected payback those donors - it gives the donors/radicals (both parties are guilty)...

An old, retired Alabama state trooper once told me they carried small squirt bottles with a 50/50 ammonia and water mix for viscous dogs. As a liquid, it would be less likely to irritate the trooper, like a mace or aerosol spray would so he said. I have never attempted to test this theory...

The IEA has proposed the largest release of oil reserves in history, exceeding the 182 million barrel record set in 2022, per WSJ. Details include: 1. The proposal was circulated at an "emergency meeting" 3/10/26 2. Countries are expected to decide on the proposal Wednesday 3. The proposal...

They got hit pretty darn hard last night. Thoughts go out to all affected.

You found your excuse to buy a new 10mm. I mean, if it’s good enough for bears, it must be good enough for viscous dogs.

Like .007” … same as a 280 Rem vs 270 Win. But yes, the 25 CM represents the next evolution in the Creedmoor family. A quick check of the latest stats in PRS shows that the top 200 PRS pros in 2025, 25 calibers like the 25 Creedmoor (6%) and 25×47 Lapua (7%) are gaining traction, though 6mm...

Not so fast. The article uses H2O capacity, not powder capacity. I believe that is very misleading. For example, no one shoots a 6PPC with 33 grains of powder, or a 243 with 54 grains or a 270 with 66 grains of powder, or 30-06 with (gulp) 68 grains of powder. This is why people get often...

I think we're going to see the 25CM is a better (ballistic) mousetrap in terms of barrel life over the 6.5CM.

You mean the one you actually carry, not the one you like.

Economists sometimes refer to this as the rockets and feathers effect. Here’s a link to the topic for you: https://fredblog.stlouisfed.org/2022/06/oil-and-gas-prices-move-together-like-rockets-and-feathers/

Sounds like you're complaining of price gouging while not considering supply and demand. Let's take your 9/11 example and tease that out. Ask yourself this question......if an AWB was passed by Congress and applied nation-wide tomorrow, would you expect to see the price of AR15s DECREASE? Of...

There is not a finite amount of finished gasoline product supplied in the US daily. You also have what's referred to as disposition accounts for how crude oil and petroleum products are transferred, distributed, or removed from the supply stream including stock changes, refinery inputs (ie...

if it were a European advertisement I’d think destined for European use and anything other than 9mm would be unlikely. But hope springs eternal.

Happily using my Wawa reward points this week when I have to fill up.

Well that didn’t take long.

Brown mags are excellent and bomb proof.

I’ve run 7.5 to 8.0grs of Unique in mag cases under a 240gr HCSWC for decades … basically Skeeter’s Special load. Pussycat of a load …. and capable of taking anything that walks east of the Rockies.

Not sure I’d spend the money on such a conversion, but an interesting article nonetheless. Thanks for sharing. The 44Spl…..always seems to me to be the answer in search of its problem.
