    How much have you over paid for "pre-ban" stuff before the ban ended?

    Not to brag, but I saw it coming at least ten years before, and bought everything I needed at a fair price. As Bob Dylan sang, "you don't have to be a weatherman, to know how the wind blows."

    Lessons learned from recent NO bug-outs

    Great posts! I would just add the following: Don't forget to include "luxuries", like coffee, tea, and booze. If you smoke, your smokes are essential medications. Try to think about what skills you can offer someone who kindly gives you refuge. Try to give something back. Pack a Bible.

    (WY) Exhibit fires back at unarmed pioneer theory

    Actually, "the gun that won the West" was most likely a surplus Civil War rifle, sold at bargain basement price by a cash hungry U.S. Government to a cash-poor sodbuster. That turd who wrote "Armed America", cited evidence from a San Francisco courthouse that burned down decades before he did...

    How knives get dull...

    I am no expert on sharpening, but I believe that the NUMBER ONE REASON that neophyte bladesmen wind up wearing out their blades, is that they do NOT understand the proper use of the sharpening steel to "touch up" a blade, as needed. After mastering this skill, I found that it was RARELY...

    Better to carry at funerals, than to be carried at funerals.

    (MO) Police Ditch Shotguns for Rifles

    There was a time when I believed that there was a place for 9mm or .45 ACP carbines, but my current opinion is that if you are not upgrading all the wat to 5.56 mm or 7.62 mm, then you are just short stroking the mule.

    Would you carry during a Wake/Funeral?

    This is a really stupid question. Frankly, I don't get it. If you want to carry, and can carry legally, then do so. If not, do not. What am I missing here?

    Would you carry during a Wake/Funeral?

    Huh? Wah? Why is this even posted? If I don't need to carry, then I will not. (Otherwise, what is the question?) I am confused.

    Any sling other than a carry strap is a major liability?

    Way back in basic, one of my training tac's was a Special Forces E - 7 with several tours in Vietnam. He told be it was a good idea to have your weapon tied to you, because you might get grenaded, mortared, and disoriented. This is so when you came to or recovered, your weapon was not lost...

    Toy Guns of the 1950's - 1960's

    Also, remember the "potato gun"? Actually, this cast metal POS would work with any tuber, I mainly used potatos and carrott ammo to torture, Gretchen, (a female near seat mate) in the first grade, Now I wish I had taken a more skilled approach to Gretchen. If so, I...

    Making guns/ammo

    For INFORMATION puposes only! For decades there have been some simple plans for a home workshop submachinegun, floating about. I think the magazines and the ammo would be a lot tougher. This is, of course, illegal without right paperwork.

    Baker Rifles at the Alamo?

    I am very informed on the Alamo, and have never heard that. But, it's hard to prove the negative. I have read that the Mexicans used surplus British Brown Bess muskets.
