When traveling with my sons we fan out while gassing up... we do a warfaces convergence on any aggressive panhandlers or dindonuffins and it scares them away fast. Broke down at night in an area that rapidly changed from sketchy to BAD quickly while at the station making repairs at the back of...

... and he'd just bought cigarettes and hadn't realized at the time of purchase he was going to have to light them with a match or lighter? So he walks around the parking lot accosting older unaccompanied ladies for "a light"? BS, I'm not buying it. If my wife pulled a gun on a guy like this...

S&W made the purchase for several reasons, at least one of them is... odd Saving money, having cash on hand is good, right? Wrong, old timer. That thinking is so pre-Bernanke/Yeltsin. Believe it or not, banks are requesting/forcing companies to take their cash the hell out of their accounts so...

Not me, but my son. Twice in 2 months and the last one just an hour ago My son called me from his college town just a bit ago. He's over 21 with a CCL, CC's where he legally can when he goes out at night. Yes, it's that kind of town. He was at the C-mart gassing up, head on the swivel he...

"IMHO, CZ is a superb manufacturer, and the 75 has literally opened my eyes to fast, fun, and accurate shooting. No weapon has impacted me as much, no pistol has been as altering. The first hold of my 75 was like the handshake of an old friend. I am passionate about my CZ, so much so I was...

1) K-31, the fine swiss watch of bolt action milsurps. Absolutely tops in all regards 2) VZ-24, Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia because he wanted one of them :D 3) Swedish Mauser, probably the best Mauser ever (not higher on my list because of non-warfare handicapping) 3) Springfield '17, the...

Just to kick things off, I nominate this laugh track: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=165770179 A bullpup Mauser. I LOVE Mausers, I just ROFLMAO at this one. Dang. This is one of those things you dream up, you make, you try out, you take gun porn pics of and stash under...

Hey, did anybody mentioned the .222 Remington? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.222_Remington I find my Remington 788 in .222 with a good scope is just deadly for coyotes, feral dogs, skunks, and various other pesky varmints. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remington_788 I reload so...

Some rifles on this pile being burned in Nairobi, Kenya look like some oldie-but-goodies. How many can you identify? http://www.time.com/time/picturesoftheweek/0,29409,1975392_2094440,00.html

Yes, but slow plus lower energy for the larger mass means the .45 is less likely to blow out the other side of the dummy you're shooting at, causing collateral damage to those behind. Plus you still get the big ball peen hammer effect on your perp. Pretty useful characteristics, when you think...

How about owning a bolt action shotgun and a pump action rifle? Nothing like being contrarian. :)

A white rifle seems a bit French in concept to me. Get the studly look of carrying a rifle with the safety of surrendering before the first shot.

Don't forget to pay your taxes on this raffle win. It's the law. :)

He'll shoot his eye out, kid! Better get a scary pink bunny costume instead. That'll scare 'em off.

:scrutiny:I can vouch for KY Jelly's sandbag technique, here. What makes that sandbag system particularly effective is the fact that he put up a new light fixture in his Mother-in-law's garage. I've made the mistake of only changing the light bulb on a neighbor's porch for her and the...
