Bushnell 3200 fixed 10 power power mil dot. We shoot f class with them out to 1000 yds. Rugged, simple to learn. Best, Joe

I just got a card in the mail saying mine was denied because it was purchased after the rebate closed. Not true. This is very bad customer relations. There are 4 Bushnell 3200's in the house right now. There won't be another one.

Does anyone know if there is a replacement part or modification which allows the safety of a right handed 870 to be operated by a left hander? IE a button that works in reverse so that pushing it to the right would disengage the safety. Thanks in advance, Joe

Anybody know where I can get a kydex sheath for a Cold Steel Mini Tanto? I'd really like one made (left handed inside the waistband) but would settle for something stock. Thanks in advance...

I think of my grandfather who long ago told me, "Se pecure ti fai, u lupu ti mangia." If you make yourself into a sheep the wolf eats you. Words to live by. Best, Joe

About 20 years ago, when I was still with the feds, Col. Askins son helped us out with a case (he's not slouch either) and introduced me to his Dad. I've visited his house, which was a among other things one of the nicest privately owned safari and arms museums I'd seen. He was definitely...

Hey Richard, All this stuff is just guys talkin'. You've gotta do what works for you. Remember, the first rule of a gun fight is have a gun. Big gun, small gun, caliber, how you carry it is all academic. In fact, having the gun isn't even as important as a fighting mind-set (but it's a real...

We went to an apartment with an informant to negotiate a deal, no dope or buy money present. Supposedly all very friendly. Unbeknownst to us the informant owed the perp money and he thought we were coming to strong arm him. Soon as the door locked he drew down on us. The informant was...

Having once stood with my hands in the air and a Walther P-38 stuck on the end of my nose because my partner couldn't get to his ankle holster I strongly recommend against ankle carry. Bending over or going on one foot in a crisis situation invites all sorts of troubles. Back in the 1970's...

Wait'll they have to include Mexicans, too. Then we'll see what a dandy idea it is. Best, Joe

Sorry for your trouble, but it was a cheap lesson. A chazzer bleibt a chazzer. He would have stuck it to you eventually, yarmulke or no yarmulke. Warn your friends. Best, Joe

The NRA deals in political reality. It picks its fights. This is the way things get done in Washington. If you "don't compromise principle" and demand all or nothing, you almost always end up with nothing. This is why neither side is eager to see the Supreme Court decide the 2nd amendment...
