I have 10 holsters, and unless I am OC, I end up using the safepacker. Its light as a feather, it sits outside, it protects the gun when I fall (slipped on ice a few years back.) and it doesn't scream "GUN!" when people see me wearing it. Of course, i am usually kilted when wearing it, which...

Yes, that is correct. While not explicitly listed, yes, those firearms are covered under the same rules. Indeed, when driving through outer Reedsport last week, a kid was seen walking by the side of the road with a 1022 on his back. My wife commented that we were sure out of Portland (I grew...

A quick check of the numbers Per City Data, there were 188,365 households in NoLa in the year 2000. Another mortgage source shows the number of households at 206,481. average the two, and I think we have a pretty good number of homes: 197,423 consider that a thorough search of a house...

without question, it was wrong...but that isn't the scope I have seen the video of Ms. Konie, but they don't show *how* they arrived. Did they present a warrant? a proclamation? Did they barge in? Did they knock and ask her if she had firearms? How did they know to knock on that door in the...

Please let me outline the scope of my question, then I'll get into the specifics. This thread is NOT: -for bashing of the cops/army/private security involved. We know they were doing their job, regardless of our opinion of it. -for railing against any political party. Not in the scope of my...

I have Hens. Hens beget rats. Where hens are, rats soon follow. I don't want to get rid of my hens, so the rats seem to just appear, one right after the other. I also live in the city of Portland. I can see the fireworks downtown from my front porch :-) It is illegal to fire a firearm in the...

That would be Gwen. She is the communications director for PinkPistols. It was nice to see the NW represented. Not to be a jerk or anything. but *I* am a progressive, and several folks in this book identify as "left of the current administration" or flat out "LeftWing" One of the things I...

Here is my review http://www.thenewhomemaker.com/armed-america-review this was written last week. I mention Oleg's work, actually. I didn't want to compare the two, but really are doing different works, so it gave me a chance to contrast. Oddly, my review came up on a Wall Street Journal...

this if myself, my wife Lynn and my oldest, Josie and youngest, Louisa at the Portland Pride Parade last week. Photo compliments of my good friend, Heidi All of us shoot--but we need to pick up a 22 rifle. Josie is asking for one, and her birthday is coming.

I have heard this issue come up time and time again Leather is an abrasive. Its a *mild* abrasive, but its an abrasive all the same. Over time, any sort of movement inside leather (or most other materials) will cause a wear on the firearm. Most folks dont' notice this, as the wear is very...

The merits of Portland I have lived here since 1992. I grew up between Eugene and North Bend (on the south coast of Oregon.) Let me share some observations: Rain. When it rains, it rains. Buckets. But then it stops. Oh, sure we have those drizzly days that go on forever, but its not like we...

I did just that today, actually. The wife, and my two daughters, 9 and 6--don't ask me the age of my wife. She is a child of the 70's and grew up thinking guns were evil. She is a dyed-in-the-wool libertarian Democrat, but as a former journalist, really, really, really enjoys the other...

Yep... I know exactly how he feels. I am a "recent" convert to gun culture (5 years now), have been involved in the world of gay men and lesbians for two decades now, and used to vote for liberals almost exclusively. I remember my mother chastising us for pointing STICKS at each other when...

I agree with RavenVT100: At least give the chump credit for speaking the truth. If they wanna repeal the 2A, they are welcome to try. It will fail, dismally, but they are welcome to try. They have to get a 2/3 majority to do so, and it won't happen.

so I would *like* to be able to carry 60 or so rounds of SKS ammo on my belt when I am out shooting, but the carrier I bought doesn't do a very good job. It is collapsable, and invariably catches the last round on the stripper clip and so I am loading up 9 rounds, not 10, and then THAT round...
