Hold onto your hats! (This won't take long.)

Is there any other way?

Semper FI! This old salt (Navy Aviation) salutes you!

I know a man who had inadvertently become addicted to opiates. (These had been prescribed by a doctor and were not bought on the street.) Bill went through withdrawals and "white-knuckled" his way through the entire physiological/psychological readjustment. The man will never be able to use any...

Story time: Father had a 10 3/4" long, carbon steel, Fishtail pick lock, Italian automatic he carried in a hand-crafted holster alongside a marlinspike with an adjustable-end wrench he had silver-soldered onto the head. (He crafted the holster/scabbard by hand.) While working at the Bremerton...

How many of our "brave" football players would ever take that kind of risk? I had the opportunity to shake the hand of Uriel Moreno. The man was truly humbled when I told him how far I had traveled to watch him in the ring.

It is removed and consumed. The meat is sold or donated. The bones, horns and hooves are used for gun grips, knife scales and other craft work. No parts of the animal are ever wasted.

A Bakelite grip can prove advantageous in the battlefield. God knows I carried Hogue "Monogrip" a more than one duty weapon.

In 2018, I drove to the 1007 miles to Tijuana to watch Uriel Moreno (a.k.a. 'El Zapata') and two other toreros face seven bulls in the ring. When you are 25 feet from the bull, watching it make a valiant attempt to lift the Picador's horse from its feet it is truly exciting. I could smell the...

AMEN! Who bloody cares?

Never was into organized sports. Give me the bullfights, at least you genuinely risk death. It is a holdover from the days of the gladiators.

Everyone wants to lighten and shorten everything. Lighter, I understand. Shorter, no thanks.

Strange, how it has worked since 1929. No "plastic fantastic" parts, a smooth DA/SA action... What's not to like?

I'll bet that shoots as well as my Walther PP Manuhrin (Made in France) pistol. They are wonderful, aren't they?

Caliber?

I don't drink, quit smoking 37 years ago, and strive hard to live a clean, salubrious life. I'm a voice talent, play the piano, sing and write/produce radio/television advertising copy. What's your bag?

I buried two family members to addiction. One to Alcoholism, the other to tobacco/cannabis addiction/habit. I am quite familiar with addiction/substance abuse. You are preaching to the choir.

No, but when I had 18 teeth removed from my head, I eschewed the synthetic opiates offered to alleviate the pain. I didn't want to take any possible risk of addiction, regardless of how remote. (Healing without painkillers is far quicker and results in less scarring). Thank you, but NO, THANK...

Carrol O'Connor's adopted son was caught up in the nasty web of cocaine use/abuse. This was a terminal case of dumb ***.

I prefer either a shoulder holster or OWB behind the hip, right hand side carry. I can even carry either my Zastava .32, Bersa Thunder .32, or other (Bersa, CZ82, or Tanfoglio) .380 in either fashion. I don't want to have my penis summarily detached from my abdomen at the shooting range (or...
