I'm aware there's four books in the picture. Really the best one is the second book in the picture Survival In The Outdoors by Byron Dalrymple. He was born in 1910 and died in 1994. Most of the book is about preparing yourself before you go out in the woods so you don't need to build fish...

Bonnie and Clyde became reformed criminals

Okay first of all you have to understand that I am that guy. If somebody's going to get in trouble for something, even if everybody else in the world gets away with it, I'm going to be the one that gets in trouble The place that my wife and I are moving to has a private shooting range on it...

I just watched Blue Bloods season 14 episode 12, "Without Fear or Favor". Without going into the whole episode a retired cop gets into a verbal altercation with somebody in a bar and pulls out his handgun essentially to intimidate the guy into backing down. (In Colorado that would be aggravated...

I'm looking for something similar to the old Alice M16 magazine pouches but a little bit smaller for a Mini-14 magazine. I'm seriously considering just getting an old LBE set up. Basically this minus the canteen and shovel

I saw a discussion about sharpening knives on another forum yesterday. The Precision Adjust got some pretty good reviews. I mentioned to my wife that we might want to get one if we could find a good Black Friday deal. I'm not sure what convinced her but she went looking online for one and...

I'm considering getting a shoulder holster. My primary use for it would be VA appointments and the gym. I currently use my Safari Land paddle holster for the VA but I don't know if I'm wearing it wrong or what but it seems like it's almost impossible to get it off my belt and back on my belt...

I remember reading an article several years ago by Tamara Keel in which she stated that she literally buys 30 round AR-15 magazines by the case. She claimed to have hundreds of magazines still in their original packaging and she was buying more. And I want to clarify that she claimed to have...

A neighbor of mine decided she wanted to make a substantial withdrawal from her bank. My wife was concerned about her taking a cab or a ride share to the bank so I volunteered. I don't leave home unarmed, today wasn't any different but it's not something I felt the need to announce to (anyone...

This is connected to my comment about people talking too much. I used to do security at a FedEx shipping hub. The front gate had a sign on it that said all vehicles coming or going were subject to search. Every entrance to the building was posted "No Fireams/Other Deadly Weapons". The...

This is a discussion I see all over the internet. Another poster mentioned it this morning in a different discussion and it made me think about starting this discussion. As I said, this discussion has come up multiple times on other form so it's really hard to say something new about it...

I’ve seen this discussed on other forums and it seems to cause a lot of debate when it comes up. I found this video by Massad Ayoob on youtube in which he explains how he deals with a stranger at his door and there’s not much I can add to it except maybe my personal experience. I am convinced...

I put this here because my comments are more about the news reporting then the actual weapon itself. I've never seen a news report this honest regarding AR-15s. I really don't have any commentary to add to this video, it pretty much speaks for itself

First, I've never interacted with a plainclothes cop who didn't begin the interaction by presenting their credentials and identifying themselves. I've also never seen a plainclothes cop carry their credentials in their back pocket. Watch the video. Pay specific attention at 25(ish) seconds when...

This question came up on another forum. I think the poster worded it a little awkwardly. I'm going to attempt to clarify as much as possible. 1. Regardless whether such signs have the force of law in your area, do you avoid private businesses that are posted "No Firearms"? 2. Do you avoid...

I was reading a news story today about a 7-11 that was robbed a few days back in my town. This particular 7-11 is at an intersection that is considered to be Ground Zero of the worst neighborhood in town. When that 7-11 is robbed no one is ever surprised. When there's a shooting at that...

Or Has It Changed In Response To The World Going Crazy ? I recently saw a thread entitled "What Things Are Indispensable For You To Carry?" It made me really think about what I carry on a daily basis. I don't know that anything has really CHANGED but I am a lot more intentional about having...

I live in Colorado. I got caught by a magazine capacity ban*. It changed the way I think about things. When I bought my Glock 19 I speciffically chose it over a 17 because the 19 magazines are still legal in Colorado but I went out and bought about 30 of them plus some Magpul mags just in...

I really haven't been a knife 'collector" for very long. Until recently the only two locking mechanisms I was even aware of were Back Locks (Buck) and Barrel Locks (Opinel). My first "Tactical" knife was a CRKT Ignitor that had a Liner Lock that just never looked all that sturdy to me. I own...

What features do you look for in a POCKET knife? What things are deal breakers for you? I don't know if I have any ONE thing that's the most important but if any of the following are absent I won't buy or carry the knife. 1. Has to be a lock blade and the lock has to engage automatically. If...
