Oh, and because my wife buys pistols like shoes or handbags. "Oh my gosh, it's so cute. I gotta have it! I promise it won't be like the last six that I only carried for a week and then got tired of."

Well, I had to be brief, I was in the middle of polishing my "CCW License Holder" badge. I do have a family image to uphold, my brother saved, like, 300 people in 'nam using the same equipment I carry today.

How has the price of food affected the amount you eat?

Making a gun is easier than making drugs and we see how well the war-on-drugs is working.

I have a friend that collects watches, he has tens-of-thousands of dollars worth. He is not wealthy and he has a family. He is always on the lookout for good deals and I, and all of his other friends, are looking too. Similar story with his daughter and necklaces (and she has no real income). I...

My company buys a lot of equipment from European and Eastern countries and we have had dozens of visitors from WAY anti-gun places such as Holland, Great Britain, Japan, Denmark, and India; many of which were on their first visit to the US. I derive a lot of pleasure from enlightening these...

I'm a sucker, I read them all. It took me 15 years to figure out this internet thing and the new hasn't worn off. One question though, I was patrolling the mall with my perfect Glock, waiting for a purse snatcher, and an evil Obama ad got me wondering: When the liberals destroy the world and...

I live on a farm so I just go out back. I pushed up a dirt berm to shoot into and there is a nice shade tree at 75 yards. Friends come over to shoot clays more often instead of going to the range. A friend bought a really nice remote control target-thrower that he leaves here, since his shotgun...

Nothing really made the decision for me. I happened to acquire a pistol from a friend and I decided that I was going to carry it in self defense. I guess I carry it for the same reason as I carry my pocket knife, or the fire extinguisher in my cars, or I wear my seatbelt. So I can say "I hope I...

Ditto on the weak drywall. I once lived in a duplex townhouse-style apartment complex and one evening I came home to find the landlord in my house patching a giant hole in the wall. The neighbors were "wrestling" and had crashed through both layers of the drywall and into my living room. I...

Someone around here has a full-auto something that they shoot every 4th. A Ranger was once telling us about some sensors they have that pinpoint gunfire and I asked him about the machine gun (everybody has heard it) He said they know who it is, the guy has a permit for the gun, and he shoots...

I was at an outdoor range putting some downrange with an old-old PPK and the thing started jamming up real bad. I got the gun used and it would never go through a whole mag without a mis-feed. The guy sitting next to me happened to be a gunsmith and saw I was having trouble so he asked to see...

I too, Sir, am a hard-core, dues-paying Libertarian but I certainly don't consider myself a liberal in the current political definition. Libertarianism grew out of the shortcomings of Left/Right theory and much more closely matches my fervent independence. Although we are "liberal" in the...

I know several people who have been robbed and lost lots of guns, but never out of a safe that was bolted down. The most responsible thing we can do as gun owners is to be sure that no gun that we buy will ever be involved in a crime. I have one safe in my bedroom closet, Cannon T43. It is a...

I used to be so paranoid about printing that I would pull my belt so tight that my legs would go to sleep. One day while I was in the line at a store I was horrified when a little girl <8yo behind me put her finger on it and said "mommy what's that?" My shirt had pulled up some time while I was...
