    What do you keep on the nightstand?

    When I go to bed I take the S&W .38 snub out of the De Santis pocket holster in my right front pocket and the Ruger LCP .380 out of its cell phone type case on my left hip and put them both on my night stand right beside my bed.

    Worst lines you've heard from gun sellers?

    This isn't from sellers but I have had several people ask me if my 1873 Winchester is a .30-30.

    Have you ever broken a Ruger handgun?

    I once had a Ruger, a Browning, and a Beretta all three "break" during the same range session. The Ruger was my P89 9 mm. I fired a round and the casing was still in the chamber and racking the slide would not remove it. On examining the gun when I got home, I discovered the cartridge case...

    An interesting story at the doctors office

    But how could a Glock fire like that? It has a safety! Surely everyone recognizes that I am being facetious. It does bring up a question that I have never gotten a satisfactory answer to(to me anyway). What does that so called "safety" on the trigger buy you? How is it any safer than my...

    I have two Blackhawk convertibles, a .45 Colt/.45 ACP and a 10 mm/.38-40, and a Single Six convertible. I bought the 10 mm/.38-40 to a companion to my 1873 Winchester/

    Talk me out of a New Model Single Six Convertible

    I will not try to talk you out of it. I will just relate my own experience. When I bought mine I just couldn't see not going ahead and getting both cylinders. For several years I shot mostly LR's in it. But about three years ago I bought a S&W Model 317 Airlite. It is an eight shot double...

    .357 shooting .38

    I hope no one fires any gun (except in a defense situation) without hearing protection! I put foam earplugs in when I go hunting. That .30-06 is brutal on the ears without protection. I have tinnitus now. Most likely from not using hearing protection when younger and dumber. My ears ring...

    Double barrel 380 that folds up like a phone

    I already carry my LCP in a case on my belt that looks like a cell phone case. And I have seven shots. A friend of mine who knew I carried every day thought it was my cell phone for two years until I showed him my pistol.

    Coyote hunters, lend me your ears and experience

    I have killed two coyotes. The first was several years ago while deer hunting. I had gotten into my shooting house before daylight. It was about 10:00 am and I hadn't seen anything. I had leaned my rifle against the wall and was preparing to leave. I glanced out the front window of the...

    CCW in Places of Worship or Faith Based

    I carry in church. And at least three or four others also carry in the small church I attend. Mass shootings are as likely to occur in church as anywhere else.

    Status of your state?

    Here in Alabama we just got exemption from NICS background checks for concealed carry permit holders when purchasing firearms.

    Status of your state?

    We have it pretty good in Alabama. A few years ago we went from may issue to shall issue for CCW. It was much debated whether open carry was legal but a couple of years ago we got legislated open carry. The latest thing we got was being able to be issued a permit for up to five years. Last...
