    Saw my first open carry yesterday

    I dont normally open carry but as a resident of Kentucky open carry is an option and always has been to my knowledge. I see people from time to time carrying open and have never seen anyone pay any attention to the fact. Its nice to know that it is an option even if most dont chose to do so.

    Walmart Firearms Policy Change?

    A few years ago the one nearest my home here in Kentucky removed their guns but still sold ammunition. I asked about the reason and was told lack of interest, low sales. About a year or so ago they restocked their guns and I ask from time to time how sales are and everytime I am told that they...

    What's your "never buy" gun?

    I do not have a "Do Not Buy" list. If I have any doubts about it functioning in a life or death situation I stay away. I have probably missed some buys but if it is considered a Saturday Night Special I would not take it on a bet.

    vehicle license plates

    I display NRA Benefactor decal. Dont care who knows or thinks what. I also have an NRA cap and vest that I am not ashamed or afraid to wear. I have had many comments on the hat and vest (all positive). The decal has never been mentioned.

    Ammo shipment missing - how to proceed?

    Some years ago I lived on a Lane off of a Road with the same name. I had a round with UPS. It would show where they delivered it which was to a house about a mile from me. It had a road address which was nearest my lane address. Nearest is the key word there and the people who lived there...

    Teenagers and handguns

    My sons were around guns their entire childhood. One likes to hunt and shoot as an adult and one seems to care less about it. I have 2 grandsons now who have their own guns and shoot and hunt with supervision. Neither my sons or grandsons shoot as much as I did when I was growing up. I think...

    Gunstore Opinion

    Thought I would throw in another opinion. When I have ordered anything on line I have had to pay upfront with plastic. Could you have not offered the gun store a credit card number?

    When do you think a child is old enough to learn how to handle and use a firearm?

    When I was probably 5 I was allowed to play with an old .22 rifle that did not have a firing pin. I was taught to handle it like it was a functional weapon. Soon after I got a BB gun and was informed if I pointed it at anyone or anything that was not my proper target that I would lose it...

    Do you ever worry about an assailant wearing body armor?

    I dont worry about body armor because I do not "worry" about being assaulted. Dont mean to sound rude but it is not something that I dwell on. If I did I might not leave the house.
