I work in Iraq, and a Kurdish friend in the security business asked me if I could do him a favor while I'm stateside and pick up a holster and (if they make one) a Crimson Trace grip for his new gun (handgun accessory stores being scarce thereabouts). Sure, I say. Then I look at his gun...

Here's a fun situation. Friend's brother is acquainted with a woman who has a stalker ex. They are not close, but stalker ex has been going on a bit of crazy of late that has extended to her friends, and evidently has the impression that friend's brother and friend's brother's wife are closer...

Just got a call out of the blue from a friend with a possible job offer in Bosnia. I could use a change of scene, and it sounds like a good gig. I'd be spending a *lot* of time over there, though, and I don't know what effect it'd have on my hobby as yet. Solution: hit THR. I checked the...

So, the Brady Campaign's newest tack is the "so many suicides would be prevented if we banned guns" thing. Obviously, because people never kill themselves with things other than guns. :banghead: But it does propose an interesting question. Depression is extraordinarily common; how do those of...

This is a weird one. I was doing a transfer at my shop, and was looking at a couple of things just for the heck of it, and another customer pointed this out as a "what the?!" Store owner focuses on modern shooters, and said, to be honest, he didn't know anything about it -- it was in inventory...

I recently read a terrific book by Paul Kirchner, who's known for his illustrations of Col. Jeff Cooper's books but is a fine writer in his own right: DUELING WITH THE SWORD AND PISTOL: 400 YEARS OF ONE-ON-ONE COMBAT. The book is what you'd expect from the title -- lots and lots of accounts of...

Interesting article from the cheerfully reprehensible THE EXILE, a proudly scurrilous English-language newspaper for expats in Russia. Apparently, a lot of shootings in Russia involve a four-barrelled "less lethal" handgun-type weapon, the PMB-4M. In Russia, you can't legally carry a handgun...

Here's an interesting one: I like pictures of famous historical figures with guns, and I've been trying for a while to find a picture of Harriet Tubman with her revolver, which she famously used to motivate would-be fugitive slaves who experienced a sudden change of heart while under her charge...

I came to guns relatively late. My father died when I was young, and I had no relatives who were into guns, so I didn't get any experience with them until I was grown. I've had my CCW for five years, but I've focused mainly on target shooting and self-defense so far. So now I'm looking to...

Just a quick notice -- today, June 12th, 2007, is the twentieth anniversary of the theatrical opening of PREDATOR, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Bill Duke, Kevin Peter Hall, Jesse Ventura, Sonny Langham, and a boatload of weaponry. I remember being very favorably impressed...
