All guns are always loaded unless it is purposefully demonstrated otherwise. Democrats and others in the entertainment biz feeel the need to generate or support hysteria in order to make their living. It's no wonder that they use hyperbole when speaking about the Tools of Freedom.

Ever sit in a room and the light suddenly burns out? RIP, Mike.

I used a 7mm Rem Mag Win 70 with a stainless action, synthetic stock, and a muzzle break. I bought it new around 1997-98. I used a borrowed 30.06 a few times before that. The sound did nothing to affect my field shots, but it is undeniable that the shots added to the damage of my hearing from...

I pass the knife 1/4" above my forearm and if the hairs jump off my arm in screaming terror, I know the blade is sharp enough! In real life, I just hold the edge to catch the light and look for shiny spots like others have mentioned. Also, I lightly drag my thumb across the edge each way as a...

I chose my caliber based on energy and (Colorado Rockies) bullet drop distances. Once I sussed the caliber out, I went reading, talking, and shopping around for the make and model of rifle. I chose a Winchester Model 70 that came with a muzzle brake in 7mm Remington Magnum. It was perfect for me.

I lived and hunted in Colorado. I have had only one hunting rifle in my life. For deer and elk, it took a 1-1/2 hour hike in and I toted a Win 70 with BOSS muzzle brake attachment and a Trijicon Accu-Point scope I usually set at 6x. The rifle has a synthetic stock and a stainless barrel...

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. I meant that criminal acts should be properly prosecuted, which may or may not lead to a trial. It appears popular to bargain over charges much like haggling over the price of an object or service at a flea market. If to trial and if found guilty, punishment...

I won't concern myself with the cascade of blame as it relates to a criminal incident, because I think such reasoning dilutes the sole responsibility of the BG's action--the Bad Guy itself. Deliberate, sure, and swift justice while dealing with the direct actors of the crime is something that...

Isn't this the kind of thread where you want to hold it in your hands under a good light to check it out?

My parents told me from forever that if I wanted something bad enough, I'd have to work to get it. There are only two things in this life of 71 years that I've ever truly wanted to change. One was smoking and the other was my deep abiding love of, and dedication to, the safe black hole of...

Once you get your higher quality bit and some Tap Magic, or a similar product (we always used Rapid Tap), let the bit do the work and not you. Trying to help the bit by applying too much pressure onto the work as you're drilling into it is not optimal. You just want to see metal bits adding up...

I put the MCarbo trigger in my Max and it certainly made my trigger finger happier. I find the Max easy to shoot. I pocket carry it in an Alabama holster.

I used a regular old Ka-Bar, available on the market in the "90s, for deer. Run up a side of the sternum, cut through the esophagus, circle the anus below the pelvis, roll the animal slightly, and cut around the back of the gut-pack until it rolled out almost on its own. A Wyoming knife worked...

I really like that skinner.

As experience with firearms grows and our life experiences extend on, our views may also. After 50 years of carrying a wide variety of handguns in drawerfuls of holsters, and only as a civilian, my views have evolved. Not a second of that time do I consider a dollar misspent or a moment of...

Those with a scintilla of political power want their power to be totally unburdened by the threat of an armed free citizenry. This includes everyone from the White House down to public schools. In their efforts to protect their parasitical selves, they're all happy participants in their war...

@Kleenbore's journey is similar to my own. I tried concealing small revolvers, large, medium and small semiautos carried in just about every way, except for the small-of-back method, in leather, plastic, or hybrids. From the first (1975), I was very sensitive to the concept of concealed and in...

If I want light plus speed, I use 124 gr. 9mm ammo. Normally, it's just the fat slowpoke 230 gr. .45 ACP ammo for me. That fat stuff approaches 580 miles-per-hour toward the bad guy. I suspicion that because it is so light, it doesn't have the mass necessary to penetrate more deeply given the...

When it comes to self-defense, many of the women I have known have not been interested in guns or self-defense issues because men were supposed to take care of that. I was taught nearly fifty years ago when I was a sociology student at UC Santa Barbara that women are generally collectivist in...

I don't care a whit if some subset of a group feeels that having a gun is good at any given point of their existence. I will not help those who are the enemies of Freedom established, bought and paid for by my betters. God may love them, but I'm having a much harder time of it since the mid-1960s.
