Blast! Seriously, I was just putting together the fixin's for a 4-bore underhammer! Now here's this 2" Gun! Now I've got to live long enough to build one of them, too! You're getting tough on the Old Man, Fellows! I wonder how much shot she would take? The jug-choke ought to take up just about...

"Deliver me, Lord, from the judgement, of the saints who have never been caught." Hey, kicking the dog is a felony now! Think about it.

Most Fun Shooting? An Olympic grade air pistol, in my own living room, with my wife saying "Coming Through, It's On The Stove If You Want Any!" (God, I love her!) A rubber-band powered, 1930's to 1960's Sharpshooter pistol that launches #6 birdshot with enough power and accuracy to hunt...

Try the .17's! The rifle just sits there. Doesn't wiggle. And the bullet got there yesterday!

Impediments to shooting For nearly 7 decades I could shoot on my own place whenever I pleased. Then a neighbors moved in, slowly. One good fellow passed away, and the sound of shooting made his widow nervous, so she would call the State Police or the County Sheriff. We always invited them to...

Pjeski's signature "IANAL" had me 'fuddled for a bit. "I Am Not A Lawyer." Good on you, Mate! My own family were slaves who ran away to sea, and after a generation or two of pirating and slave trading were driven ashore in the new world. Casting about for their futures, they quickly realized...

Part of the misery of being beaten up by a gun is the acoustical trauma, the concussion of the muzzle blast. I didn't always used to be that way. Give me a 416 or...

Communicate Early As an unwelcome approach is being made, communicate as early as possible. The raised palm of the hand says "Stop." The eye contact says "I acknowledge you" and gives your words and body language some weight. A small shake of the head says "No", and dismisses the beggar to ply...

Hmm! I would sure like to find a footlocker full of Martini Cadets! Legal, of course.

We've been through these panics before. This panic just seems to be based on a threat that is perceived as (and, I believe, is) a bit more substantive. I've been slowly building a pile of such supplies over the last few decades, so have been in a position to pass a bit forward to ease the strain...

Packin' Ammo A few times in the past, I've felt flush while facing a bargain stack of MTM or Berry's 50x cartridge boxes, new or used, that would fit my current caliber. When a vender at a gun show is looking at packing them all up again and somebody asks how bad he really wants to do that, one...
