    NRA insurance

    I had NRA insurance for years. I let it expire. I am going to call my insurance agent, and have a rider put on to cover me. The NRA was about the same, maybe a little cheaper then the farmers insurance homeowners rider. I am letting everything NRA go away. My training certificates, my...

    Concealed Carry Overkill?

    It is not what you carry, or how you holster it. It is all about the willingness to defend yourself. My 90yo uncle passed away this weekend. He always packed a .38 derringer. 2 shots. Even at his advanced age, and health problems, he could put a fight. I would not want to be the one...

    Calling Californians...!

    Read all about the confusion in the land of milk, and honey. I sometimes miss the San Joquin valley, but will never move back there. http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2012/06/21/california-law-enforcement-unclear-on-legality-of-bullet-button/

    need shooting range Las Vegas

    Anyone know of a shooting range, indoor/outdoor facility in the LAS valley? I am spending a great deal of time in NLV these days. I would prefer a indoor site as I am a true "pale face". I might be close to the clark county range on Decatur in NLV. If it is shaded, its possible. I...

    O'Reilly Talking Points?

    Agreed. Entertainers are in showbiz. I don't watch the talking heads. IMO, with all, talking heads,there is a force behind the curtain controling what the entertainer says, and does.

    Beretta 21A Bobcat

    I carry the 21A Bobcat. It took about 500 rounds before it would fire the cheap bulk ammo without a hickup. I load it with velocitators for EDC. One has to remember, it is not a center fire, and may not be the best carry gun. It's a .22! When I do carry this fine pistol, i do with hammer...

    Help me pick my first gun

    None of your choices. IMO, a quality .22 wheel gun with good sights. Learn to shoot. Fire discpline. Trigger pull, etc. It will take several hundred rounds. Find a good shooting coach. Then, after you can get decent groups get a center fire. You will have two guns. Go back and...

    High-Power Rifles with Low-Power Scopes

    I mounted a turkey scope 2.5x on a 18inch rem 30.06 auto. There is a circle surrounding the point the cross hairs meet. In the deer woods perfect. Sold it, as I don't care for Rem autos. My current big game rifle is a Marlin 1895 45/70 with a 4x leupold IER mounted scout style. IMO, this...

    I have a charter bulldog .44 made in the 70's. It has always worked very well. I have a Taurus in the safe. The op asked for none of the usual bad comments about Tauri, so I will not say anything more.:D

    Businesses that prohibit CCW

    The stores that choose to post signs make me chuckle. I am sure the local union of gang bangers has a rule that all members must safely store their firearms before entering an establishment that has posted. I only ccw. I only carry in buildings where l am not inviolation. I can drink all...
