    Reflections on "Dog Hill" (long)

    My wife and I had to say goodbye to my beloved Maine Coon mix back in October last year. She was 17.5 years old and I had her for 17 of those years. A liver cyst is what finallytook her from us, it was the size of a racquet ball when we first found it. Right before it burst it was the size of...

    I just started carrying pepper spray

    The Correctional officers in my home town used either Saber Red or Freeze+P. I used Saber Red when I did security and that stuff was intense, and it had some staying power. Every story I heard from my LEO/Corrections friends involving OC had a point of EVERYONE being cross contaminated and...

    Picked up an interesting knife.

    I used to have a SAK type knife from a vendor with all the branding. It was a decent little tool for what it was. I think I left it behind at a prior job for a coworker who lost his knife and needed a spare.

    Using Citrus solvent as an environmentally friendly less toxic gun cleaner/solvent.

    I vote Simple Green. I used it when I was in Maintenance Ata coffee plant years ago and it took grease, grime, and gunk off of things that needed "food safe" cleaners. It might take a little more scrubbing but it does work well, is biodegradable, and inexpensive. (And the smell ain't so bad...

    favorite target(s)

    My favorite targets for rimfire were store brand ritz crackers. The ants cleaned up the mess when we were done for the day and they were very "reactive" if/when you hit them. For centerfire I enjoy steel, cheap paper plates of all sizes, and the shoot-n-see targets I bought about 10 years ago...

    If You Desire to Have an Attorney and Cannot Afford One, ....

    Remember that the Public Defender might take some time (days, weeks, months) to get to you. My home state has districts with only 2-3 Public Defenders for 3-5 counties. There are people who have been held for 3-4 months before they get a first visit from their Public Defender, and often the...

    Another example of intervention gone wrong

    I have a friend who was a rookie officer many years ago and had to respond to a Domestic Dispute. He separated the two individuals and wastalking to the husband when the wife stabbed him in the back with a boning knife. His vest stopped the blade, and he had quite the situation until another...

    Garbage like this realllllly annoys

    IF they were to go on sale I might buy one as a gag gift for a Marine friend. I would also let him know that it is a wall-hanger toy and not a real tool. He has a room filled with random martial arts "stuff" and some fantasy "stuff" and this would fill a small gap in his collection.

    Swiss Army...tool

    I thought they already made one like that? Or was it something I saw on a SAK mod group site? Oh well, yet another item for the "wish list"

    A 22 rifle that just plain fits

    My only rimfire rifle is my Marlin Model 60 circa ~1986. I need to add a sling to it as it gets heavy carrying it offhand through the woods. It is minute of soda cap accurate with a cheap 4 power scope and shoots just about everything I feed it. I need to add it to the rotation as it has...

    Morkniv Craftline Basic 511 $11.24 on Amazon

    Enabler!!! I just added one to my cart, now for the paycheck to hit the bank. It will be a great addition in to the "man bag" survival kit I am building.

    Can a Convicted Felon Go to a Firing Range Strictly as a Observer? No Handling or Firing.

    I have been reading this for a while and holding back thinking cooler heads would prevail. I will state I am a former Aerospace Quality Engineer with MRB authority (that means the FAA can put me in jail and fine the snot out of me for my decisions). I have read countless policies, procedures...

    Firearms post-WW2

    The German Navy dominated the North Atlantic for quite some time using the same method we did as referenced above. They sank tonnage of shipping and material, and prevented the British from resupply, with the plan of starvation of food and war products. The main reason the British were able to...

    Night Sights

    I have had the Trijicons and Meprolight night sights and they did help at night in terms of finding my sights. I also keep a flashlight near my nightstand pistol and it does "wash out" the glow of the sights. I am waiting for a set to come back in stock for my P320.

    Actual Self Defense Knife Use

    I do remember one altercation about 25 years ago. I was on a construction site during a rough patch between the trades and racial groups. I saw a group of "rednecks" start to attack a lone Hispanic guy in a room. The Hispanic guy used his drywall hatchet and a pocket knife to good effect and...

    Respect (or lack there of) for older Gun Writers

    I used to work with an individual who went to a very prestigious university in upstate New York. He was all about this "operator"who was showing the "start of World War 3" due to US military troop movements. All of the information I saw in the videos this guy shared were standard troop...

    What is the most recent knife you bought?

    I did something similar few weeks ago. I was slicing some chicken for a Thai dish I was cooking and had placed it into the freezer for a few minutes. It was a little more frozen than I thought and my knife slipped into my knuckle. Thankfully there were no stitches needed but I went through a...

    Does Anyone Fire Lap Barrels?

    I haven't heard of anyone firelapping a barrel since the mid to late 90's. I was always told "to just shoot the thing" until it either gets better or not. Firelapping seemed to be another gimmick to sell a new set of tools to shooters. Bore scopes are also a good investment if you understand...

    Anyone remember the Montana man who was displaying a firearm near a school? Montana law did not exempt him from federal law.

    I do have a question as to how this challenge will come out based on the current state of affairs post Bruen. Has anyone been able to find a historical reference backing up the gun free school zone act? That should prove to be a sticking point in a future defense.

    What is the most recent knife you bought?

    Just got this in the mail today. I was looking for an "inexpensive" solid locking folder and remembered Ganzo had a decent reputation. It has a 440C blade, "Axis" lock and a pocket clip. I figure it will be a good backup knife for when I have to send my Kershaw Leek back to the mothership.
