Never one to criticize anyone's choice in a carry piece .... carry what you feel the most confident in getting into a gun fight with.

I would think that wisdom comes from others knowing your whereabouts -- in other words, if you file a flight plan, then things go wrong, I could see that making sense. As you don't arrive when and where you're supposed to, then it ought to be easy to back-track until you find the lost party...

Rare here. So, “The absolute perfect balance of all things steak. If this is you, then you are a driven but patient person. You don’t enjoy waiting around and don’t suffer fools well. You will commit time and energy to deeply meaningful things. Steak is one of them.” I couldn’t agree more...

Agreed. Not exactly on topic as we don’t get bad winter weather here. We have other weather worries … Living on the Gulf Coast we don’t worry about anything but hurricanes. And I’m not bugging out. I’m digging in! And for those, I apply the Rule of 3s. Plan to be on your own for at least 3...

Yep. Once a Boy Scout, always a Boy Scout.

Cleanliness is next to godliness, they say. I don't know about more consistency. Lots goes into competitive shooting. So, lots to work on. Barrels foul because they have imperfections that scrape the copper off bullets. This is nothing new, and very typical of factory barrels. A lot of...

I think this says it best. As a civilian, you're not under any legal duty to be a hero and thus FOFO. Law enforcement is a different animal. Statistically, I would submit all of us are more likely to die in an auto accident than be involved in a gunfight. Thus, practice avoidance first...

This is Gospel. I daily carry a Colt Agent, 38 Spl., so that is a point shooting proposition at best. I know dots are in my future (age). I am not one to go less than compact in an auto, so for me, irons on the compacts, dots for full size pistols. Irons for the revolvers.

I don't think one can put a price tag like that on a life. Carry what you feel comfortable with, I always say. Comfortable in using, and comfortable in losing.

True. Here in South Alabama it all depends on who the arresting Agency is. I have negotiated the return of some handguns over the years. Upon return some looked as if they had been attached by chain to the bumper of a cruiser and repeatedly drug down a gravel road. Others were returned...

Exactly. This mirrors my experiences as both a prosecutor (many years ago) and a defense lawyer. Carry accordingly. The use is a decision with life-altering consequences. And like @KillerFord1977 states, the firearm should be the least of your concerns.

Gun control has always been, to some extent, an effort to legislate responsibility.

He said that if your firearm was confiscated, you will very likely see it again? Huh?

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

It's easy to get good cases, bullets, powder and tools to assemble them. But the hardest thing is getting good, uniform primers. Primers vary quite a bit across several lots; some much more than others. For ranges of 200 yards or less, there's not much difference between primers, like about...

Gentle Readers, a reminder .... Socialism: You have two cows. Give one cow to your neighbor. Communism: You have two cows. Give both cows to the government, and they may give you some of the milk. Fascism: You have two cows. You give all of the milk to the government, and the government sells...

Remember the tariff checks? Haven’t seen mine yet. Oh, and where’s my Trump phone to call and check on my tariff checks? There are roughly 245 million adult citizens which means $1.225 trillion in checks—about 3.8% of current $32.5T GDP. That would add the full amount to the already $2T+ FY2026...

Yes, deburr and square the pocket.

I don’t know about serious long range shooters today, but I shot competitive benchrest for a number of years back in the 90s. If it was a match no one loaded beforehand, you loaded at the match because conditions always changed and you had to adapt. And we loaded with an arbor press and hand...
