    30 years ago, the Clinton AWB was signed and enacted into law. 20 years ago, it expired.

    The thinly veiled apologists for a political party that has been trying to take your guns since the Sullivan Act in 1911 and was responsible for trying to preserve slavery in a country where "all men are created equal" are sickening. The invasion that these people have created is simply their...

    This is not meant to be political, just a FACT: Kamala Harris is a gun owner

    Got to meet several members of Trump's family several years ago. It was at a gun show. The only time I've ever seen a member of the party that has been trying to take your guns since the Sullivan Act in 1911 at a gun show was when he staged a press event with dozens of media types so that he...

    Some people just shouldn't be allowed to have dangerous things.

    You are absolutely correct! I have worked in gun shops big and small, full and part time for over fifty years now. I've worked thousands of gun shows. I would estimate that I've seen at least one to two dozen accidental discharges in shops and at shows. I've also seen a "customer" come to...

    Interesting gun shop robberies

    Thought that an update might be appropriate. The police think that they may have caught the culprits. See: https://www.fox19.com/2024/08/26/4-juveniles-apprehended-connection-with-crashing-stolen-vehicle-into-eastgate-warehouse-stealing-firearms/ But they are "juveniles" which means that they...

    "MSRP? We don't need no stinkin' MSRP!"

    Admittedly, it has been many years since I worked in gun shops, but from the friends who still work in the business, it appears that MSRP still has almost nothing to do with the price of an item on the shelf in the local store. In the first place, most local stores do not deal directly with the...

    What Is Going To Happen To Your Gun?

    Great question! About two years ago, I learned that an acquaintance had died after his closest friend and the executor of his will contacted me. This fellow explained that our friend "had been found dead in his car on an interstate in Indiana." Our mutual friend, who was in his 80's, hadn't...

    Ohio Ordinance Works M1918A3 BAR

    Don't have one, but have looked at them a lot. I used to set up near Ohio Ordnance at the OGCA shows. They always were very nice folks, but they generally didn't "negotiate." I passed on a couple of other collector items they were offering because they refused to budge even $100 on price on a...

    Is your pistol drop safe?

    Yea, it's pretty safe to say that is someone drops one of my pistols, they won't be happy with my reaction!

    Why Aren’t gun owners reliable voters?

    In my state, the issue isn't voters, it's who counts the votes! Twenty years ago I was so disgusted with the way my county and state were moving -- towards the left -- that I decided to become involved as much as possible. For the first time in my life, I offically joined a political party and...

    Seattle, WA: Would you discuss firearms related stuff with potential employers?

    Ah.... that's a great big, "H -- E -- DOUBLE TOOTH PICK NO!!!!! Never, ever, under any circumstances discuss this topic with anyone who you do not know very, very well. In an enemy controlled state like Washi-commi-stan-ton, you really shouldn't have to ask!!! NO!!!

    Gifting my Guns… .

    You know.... I'm up for adoption! Seriously, wonderful work all around is an understatement. I've never even managed to get paper patched rounds to work. Thank you for sharing.

    Just Moved to WA . . . Range w/RSO vs no RSO . . .

    I've had problems with both, that is with a RSO and without. I was working at a LGS that had a range with a RSO and there were at least three suicides and at least one accidental death. Another range & LGS near me has a RSO but he allows gang-bangers to blast away with sawed off shotguns and...

    Well, Now nowhere to shoot

    There was a privately owned range that was open to the public not too far from me. The "fee" varied depending on the day, because some days were busier than others. So Monday was open to anyone who wanted to shoot all day for $10, but Friday was $20 an hour and Saturday and Sunday was $25 an...

    Is This A Question People Ask?

    I've only been asked four or five times over the last sixty-plus years. It was always by people who often carried themselves, but didn't happen to be carrying that day. Evidently they asked that question as a result of a certain part of their anatomy tightening up. It was another way of...

    How do you plan to liquidate your collection?

    Until a few months ago, my plan, as I had stipulated in my will several years ago, was to give everything to the two nephews of my friend. They had always been interested in firearms, owned a few and even went hunting now and then. But... one of them now lives in "Commie-Coloradostan" and the...

    Another shoe drops. surgeon general declares gun violence public health crisis.

    Please confront all people who use the words "gun violence." Tell them there there is no such thing as "gun violence" any more than -- deaths during car wrecks are "car violence" deaths from drowning are "water violence" deaths from stabbings are "knife violence" deaths from overdoses are...

    JHP and NATO

    To a would-be, once-upon-a-time historian, this has all been wonderful! It makes me want to believe somebody may have been paying a little attention in some of my classes so many years ago. But... if we're discussing "humane" ammunition, let's not forget those legendary British cartridges...

    What is the metal used in small guns

    You may want to look into a zink alloy known as "Zamak". Several years ago I had a customer who was a product designer and engineer. He had worked for Remington, Zebco and other companies that produced sporting goods. He explained that the big issue was always "cost" because companies were...
