Sorry, but you don't understand how microwave ovens "work"; That isn't metal chips that "get hot"; microwaves don't produce heat. per se; the microwaves "excite" any water molecules present and the friction between the water molecules rubbing together is what produces the heat. If you put...

Why I like Aliengear Holsters I'm the type of guy who tends to do a whole "lotta lookin", and a whole "lotta readin" before I spend much cash on anything; something I've always noticed about people talking about what holsters they like best; if you've ever noticed, when the topic gets to...

Sleeping Rattlesnakes Post #19 Gamestalker; I'm very curious........how does one go about determining if a rattlesnake is "awake" or "asleep"? Rattlesnakes, (like all snakes) have no "eye lids" or external "ears"; Regardless of whether you encounter a rattlesnake on a real hot day in...

Exactly what we need, USAF Vet! Extremely well written! (Have it copied ) Now....where do we send it? (a link would help ) Charley C

Red Dot Or Scope? Attempting to compare a red dot sight with a "scope", (telescopic sight ), is like comparing a Jeep with a Sports Car; (they are both "vehicles", they will both get you from point A to point B,..........but they are also........"different"! ) They were both designed and built...

On A Lighter Note....... I just ran across this some place on the internet today; (I had seen it before, and you may may have also ), but I thought others might enjoy it....... The U.S.M.C. has just stated today on network TV......... "It's up to God to judge the terrorists" "It's our...

Miked7762 says, "Ugh, yet another 'crowdfunding' project. "Send us capital money so we can make a profit without investing our own funds. No, you won't ever receive a portion of those profits. But if you give us a large enough chunk of cash, you'll receive one of our gizmos for free! Possibly...

I'm really surprised that I haven't noticed anyone start a thread about the "gadget"; After running across it completely by accident, I spent some time reading about it; a fellow first designed this thing 3 or 4 years ago; the whole idea was to create a very simple mechanical device that...

When I saw this thread, I KNEW it would be all over the map! Inasmuch as my oldest son is in his middle 50's now, and the youngest is almost 50, I haven't had any need of "thinking up" clever names for boys in quite some time now, but "back in the day", I was very good at this! My oldest is...

Where Do I Shoot? First of all, "where do I live"? #1. Indiana.....a state that is "above average" (IMO ), when it comes to guns and shooting. #2. In a county in far-western Indiana that has traditionally been controlled by conservatives (and Republicans ) for years and years now. where...

Gun Writers I agree with Jason, above; gun writing is a "tough gig"; I buy a LOT of magazines, mostly gun-related; and I participate on a number of different forums, a few of which are gun-related; but I don't do it to "be entertained"; If I'm in the mood for "entertainment", I let Lee Child...

Open Carry In Wal Mart I see people open-carrying in one of the two Wal Mart Super Stores in Terre Haute fairly often; apparently no one seems to be at all concerned about it. Mas Ayoob has a whole chapter on "open carry" in his book, "Concealed Carry", 2nd Edition, and I really think...

Leupold Red Dot Sights SB; The title of your thread jumped out at me! Just today, I sent an email to Leupold tech, requesting information on the EXACT same things! I recently bought a new G-34 MOS, and I've been doing a LOT of in-depth research on Trijicon, EOTech, AimPoint, and...

I just ran across this news story in my nightly internet "scan" for news. Below is merely the first two sentences of a news story, which was apparently published by the N.R.A. I hope this is the proper forum to post it on THR Even though I did read the entire article, it gets extremely...

Why Lasers? It's a coincidence you asked this question when you did! I just picked up a little book in a Wal Mart while my wife and I were visiting some family, and I needed something to read. Here's a great idea; go to a big Wal Mart and check to see if they have a copy of "Handgun...
