    Should the legal age to purchase firearms be 18?

    A sliding scale of maturity seems wrong. We trust you to vote, fight, drive, get married, smoke, and determine your gender, shooting, yea that’s ok too. Drinking at the bar or buying a gun? Nope not that, you need to use dads guns and find a hobo to get that sixer for you. Ridiculous

    Bring a Guillotine to a Gunfight?

    Point shooting… Traditional archers, will quickly point out that many sight shooters in the heat of the moment don’t use the sights. They find the correct feel and let fly, and if that’s the case why bother, just leave the sights on the work bench, and focus all efforts on shooting without. I...

    Has the current world climate changed your daily routine?

    Exactly, my kids were pretty stunned when winter came that first year. I told them to quit crying, “there’s an entire country north of here”. I’m not so sure I could do summer down there. I’m a big ol’ gringo built for comfort not speed.

    Emergency Money

    Strangely I have quit using cash for daily expenses while at the same time keeping much more currency for emergency use. Went on a CO hunting trip with a group. The country had some sort of financial emergency and all the cards were locked down. For some reason I had decided to take cash...

    Has the current world climate changed your daily routine?

    I’m probably sweating more. I’m perhaps not moving as much snow. Moving from Il to MN a couple decades ago means I’m used to warmer climates than the typical Minnesotan. I try to reassure them that life will go on without -25 degree weeks and 95 degrees while horrible is not the he’ll they fear.

    Top Off-Grid Survival Communication Tools

    I read these things and I’m left with this. I don’t talk to anyone now, who am I concerned with communicating with if things get sideways? I already have trust issues. Can I trust the short wave any more than regular broadcast news? I was raised and I raised my kids to be pretty self reliant...

    10mm first shots

    Warning shots? Gentlemanly thing to do.

    Everyone Okay?

    Big hail, sloughs on fire, and multiple tornadoes. This morning woke up to find some snow on the roofs. Turned the furnace back on Friday, Im guessing it’ll be A/C by Wednesday.

    Where does your state stand on this 2025 gun ownership map?

    South of I-64 there will be no questions about the “damn yankee” line having been crossed. The avatar says it all 😎

    Where does your state stand on this 2025 gun ownership map?

    Gotta wonder if only adults are included in the counting. Not sure my kids would include themselves as owners, which implies buying said gun. Except for the youngest who readily claimed 2 pistols upon firing them, “did you bring my SIG? where’s my .22?”.

    H&K P7

    I put one of those back on the counter, knowing I shouldn’t. One of the dumber things I’ve done, I can’t take my wife shopping she acts like the kids will be starving.

    Detecting a Tail and What to Do Next

    Report it as road rage. “I must have done something to enrage this person who is clearly following me, I’m scared for my life”. It might be the honest truth, crazy is everywhere.

    The Byrna "Banana"

    It looks like a good way to get a serious beat down.

    What would YOU have done?

    Me? Go downtown and file a report, explain your concerns. Yours might not be the straw but it might be the one that does break the camels back. My white bread neighborhood has had two drug dealers arrested in the past 6-8 years the last being 5 months ago. Same story, far too many friends...

    The SIg Controversy

    I’m of the opinion that were it a flaw the number of unintended discharges would off the charts. It’s of no concern to me, I have that sort of weapon covered and it gets no use.

    Your very first loan...What was it for?

    Student loan, in the words of Dorothy “what would you do with a brain if you had one?”. Turns out I’d drive a truck.

    What have you bought firearms related in the last 48 hours?

    This came home. I ordered a pair, but talked my buddy into adopting the twin sister. Cleaned its MK III cousin complete with a solid 10 minute struggle to reassemble. This was to familiarize myself with why I detested using it as a suppressor host. The new MKIV 22/45 was stripped rinsed oiled...

    .41 Special loads

    Let us know where you settle out. I’ve got a good Unique load, but I’ve about taken the cure due to spotty availability for what seems a decade now.

    Bye Bye Springfield Armory?

    Granted I left about 30 years ago, but it was always my opinion I-64 was a more appropriate delineation of damn yankee incursions, I could agree to I-70 even. I-80 is a stretch they don’t even know what grits are, let alone eat them. 😂😂

    Anyone gone back to steel?

    Sorta an aluminum guy. But, I’ve been dallying with polymer and I’m okay with that, striker fire however I simply can’t get the appeal.
