    Forgot My EDC at Home Today

    I didn't forget it, but had to lock it up when I went into IL - which I do about once per year. The missing piece of my wardrobe bugged me the entire time I was there. It was like I'd forgotten to wear socks or something.

    Squib Load Happened

    I'm only adding this because today I had my first bad 9mm round in five years, and it was Winchester White Box like several other posters. The case was split down one side, from the mouth to the base of the seated slug, and cracked perhaps 1/16" beyond that; the split made the diameter of the...

    Ace Ain't the Place......

    You could try Fastenal, but unless one is close by, the shipping cost will make it more practical to go to the original maker. Also, the Fastenal screws may need to be trimmed to length, and won't be blued.

    Big drug bust locally, replete with obligatory photo of "gun table."

    I can't remember the rules. Is this an "arsenal" or still just a "cache"?

    Does Your State Require Training Prior To issuing A Concealed handgun Permit?

    WI yes. A DD-214 qualifies; or A hunter safety class qualifies; or you take a 4-hour course with a heavy concentration on the legalities. No live fire, but you have to demonstrate you can safely load/unload pistols. Then it's an application and a small fee. The fee started out at $50...

    Do you like all the different colored guns nowadays?

    It's not wildly colored, by my Charter Arms Undercover is tiger-striped dark green and black. It was a case of "why not?" To me, it was the most appealing of the lot. My brother thinks it's the most appalling. The wife stuck with glass-beaded stainless steel. I could enjoy all kinds of...

    Facebook deletes pro-gun groups

    Wisconsin Gun Barter is still up with a post less than 5 minutes old. About a week or 10 days ago, they had a mild shake-up where they reminded everyone to follow all laws, etc., and implied that someone on the page had tried to do a face-to-face across state lines and that it wouldn't be...

    Charter arms 38 spl Opinions

    The pinky-hanger will beat you up on the range. It might turn her off of range time. I have a CA Undercover, and the wife has a S&W 637. We ended up adding larger grips to the S&W to make it more tolerable on the range. It still conceals well. The Undercover came with larger grips, so...

    bad karma smith 686-use or lose?

    People may not come from the dead, but threads apparently do. As to the original question... At a local Civil War reenactment, some of the muskets and most of the cannon are the real McCoy, and many (the cannon in particular) have their history very well known. They are known to have been...

    Metcalf is crying again

    goon posted: "As I recall, the issue that got Metcalf in trouble was his support of state mandated training to get a CCW permit." Metcalf specifically said that, but he also generalized a support for mandated training to own *any* firearm - center column of his article, bottom of the page...

    Would someone just randomly follow your vehicle?...longish, just have question

    A guy followed my wife from the highway up a gravel road to our house. Reason? The local highways were fubar (flooding), the detour was only slightly longer than a trip to China, and he knew that if he could just find a local, they could get him where he needed to go. It was a little alarming...

    Don't be 'that guy'.

    I live in the sticks and shoot on my own land. I like plinking at crackers - soda crackers, ritz crackers, etc. If I shoot two days in a row I find almost nothing of the previous day's 'targets'. I'm waiting to get mugged by the squirrels on the way to set up the new 'targets'.

    Anybody give their kid a gun name?

    You could go with "Otto", and no one would be the wiser unless the middle name of "Melara" were added to it. In all seriousness, any firearm name I can think of is better than the names I see in the news.
