    Jeff Cooper's Color Code for Survival

    Is it just me or is a grip on that handgun almost in his armpit?

    First Noem, now Bondi.

    Since the founding of the United States there have been 60 presidential elections. Trump is the result of choosing the lesser of two evils 60 times

    Parking lots?

    I don't necessarily park at the edge of the lot. Because, as you mentioned, that brings its own problems but I do try to park in an empty part of the lot. The only place I really park at the end of the lot is when I go to the VA clinic in Colorado Springs. They keep all the government bands...

    Parking lots?

    It's not the business owner. It's the business owner's accountant who tells them they'll get a better insurance rate if they put up a gun Buster sign

    Parking lots?

    Getting carjacked or mugged or panhandled at a gas station is a daily occurrence in America. I would bet that it happens hundreds of times a day in CONUS. Gas Stations/Convenience Stores are what all the SMEs call "Watering Holes". If you ever watch National Geographic TV they always show the...

    Parking lots?

    I don't necessarily recon the lot but there are some things that I do. Never back in because a someone can hit your front end and disable the car. Guess how I know. Park with the front end behind a barrier, see above. Park away from the building. Preferably in an empty part of the lot. So...

    Open Carry?

    This is in response to the people that say that they Open Carry in rural areas or out in the woods. I have run into some very very weird people out here. I decided to Bush whack from St Mary's Falls (red dot). Over the mountain that I was standing on when I took the picture. Shortly after...

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

    Stock Photo. I bought a 1991 Geo Storm in September of 1991 which apparently was the 1992 model year. So since my car was a last year's model I got it for $9,000. I think I put over 150,000 miles on it before someone rear ended my wife and totaled it in 1996. The insurance pay out was...

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

    Does buying a car at a Buy Here -Pay Here place count? Either way it was a car. I bought a 1970 Dodge Duster in New Port Richey Fla that fell apart on me shortly after I bought it. I never did pay off the loan on that one. I bought a 1980 Volkswagen Rabbit at a Buy Here Pay Here place in...

    Has the current world climate changed your daily routine?

    Short answer, no. Loooooooong answer; Our biggest change was moving out of town and we didn't do that, that wasn't our accomplishment. The apartments that we lived in were five buildings with 18 units each. I'm going to guesstimate an average of three people per unit. Bearing in mind that...

    Gun Porn/Collection & Retirement

    There's such a thing as having too much. There's such a thing FOR ME as having so much of something that you can't really enjoy it. I've said this a whole bunch of times but I own less than 10 guns. I shoot less than four of them with any regularity and remember I have a range on my property...

    Gun Porn/Collection & Retirement

    Not in retirement For a good portion of my gun owning life I was an accumulator. I don’t remember how many different calibers I had or how many different makes or models of guns but it was enough that I couldn't afford what I considered an adequate number of magazines or ammunition per gun...

    The True Story Behind the Mattel M16 Rifle

    GM made approximately 490,000 M16s during the Vietnam war. If I remember right they made M3 grease guns during World War II. IBM made 1911s Rockola (Juke Box) made some M1 Carbines. I don't recall having an M16a1 ever fail to fire on me BUT I never fired one any place but a qualification range

    The True Story Behind the Mattel M16 Rifle

    I am in no way disputing this article. I remember during the Obama years that several companies were making AR pattern rifles and I remember hearing news reports that they were all back ordered because their suppliers of the individual parts couldn't keep up with demand. When I worked for...

    Is there really that much difference

    Gas station parking lots are By Definition Transitional Spaces The only person I'm aware of who has compiled any database on Citizen Defender shootings in the United States is Tom Givens. His database is 66. One person was caught off guard and robbed. he gave up his wallet and the robber...

    Is there really that much difference

    Everything's a trade off. Last island, closest to the entrance is the shortest route out of the gas station. We generally fill up at 3/4 of a tank of gas and we do that on our own time schedule. I have the luxury of being able to skip the crowded gas station to go to the one that's not...

    Is there really that much difference

    When I was working nights I made a point of fueling the company car at a gas station in the middle of nowhere. It's funny, I drive past one of them on my way home now. When I went there it was 10 miles out of town. Now it's solidly in town. We get gas on the way out of town. The gas station I...
