One thing people don't consider when buying a new house is that they rarely come furnished with blinds or curtains. The bigger the house, the bigger the windows and the more expensive the blinds. While you can get some fairly inexpensive blinds at Home Depot, the person that just used every...

Here's an experiment. Offer to take your neighbor shooting. After a few shots with a 22, offer to put through an exercise to enhance his accuracy. Tell him to close his eyes and relax. THen hand him your .300 Win. Mag. and tell him to hold the butt of the gun to his chest and continue to...

If I didn't have the opportunity to call in a description of myself and the situation, when LEO arrived I would yell things like, "I'm the homerowner and this guy broke in." "This guy tried to rob me." "This guy theatened to kill me and pulled a knife." Basically, I would explain what he did...

When I was younger I probably would have jumped in to rescue the teens from a beatdown by armed adults. But jumping into a situation while armed can carry some serious consequenses. Defending your actions in doing so can get costly if you actually pull the trigger. The last thing I want to do...

OK I'll play. While I consider my dog a memeber of the family, I don't view shooting a dog the same the same as shooting a human attacker. So I also think that judging her actions as though the four-legged attacker were a human being is not reasonable.

Ammo is fine. It's the canned biscuits that you have to worry about.:neener:

I bet that LEO was glad he's not a motorcycle cop.

It sounds like you did just fine to me. Don't beat yourself up too much about leaving your phone in the trunk. When we break our daily routines, we forget stuff. It was unfortunate that you did this on a day that you REALLY needed it. I had a thought about attrackting a few more...

In about 1950 my dad bought a Model 70 in 30-06. He used it to deer hunt for years. Dad finally retired it for a .243 auto. He got tired of the recoil as he got older. It was years before I learned just how fine a rifle it really was even though I used it to kill my first deer. Not long...

I bought one this afternoon. I bought the 12FV (composit stock, blue finish) in 22-250. I'm putting a Bushnell Elite on it as well. I can't wait to shoot it.

I saw a demo of that stuff on a car window. It was impressive. So I'm sure it would work well on residential applications. But I wouldn't put anything like that on car windows. I'm sure it would be great for keeping thieves from getting your CD collection, but it might also keep you from...

If someone asks you if you own any guns and respond by saying "None of your business", that is usually interpreted as "Yes. I own several". "No" is usually the best answer. The guy was definately up to something odd. It may have been just what he said or it may have been something else...

Agreed! Don't get a dog just for home defense. Dogs are a big responsibility and are more expensive than a good security system. Pure-breds are expensive to buy. But that is only the beginning. Puppies require a few trips to the vet in the beginning. Most municipalities require pets to...

Sixth sense, gut feeling, instincts, women's intuition, hairs on the back of your neck, etc. There is definately something to it. If you want to get a better understanding, read "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin de Becker. He discusses the cues we get from other people that give us a our gut...

If they're not, they're spending way too much money on advertising.

When we built our house, we wanted to have a concrete walled safe room poured into the basement. There were problems with doing that. First was the cost. It was about three times more expensive than a quality safe and we would still need to buy a safe door. The safe door itself cost just as...

For those of you that are planning on passing down "heirloom guns", let me make an additional recommendation. Take some time and write down the history of the gun. When, where and how you acquired it. What propmted you to buy that particular gun and that particular caliber? How much did you...

I am currently saving my pennies for new bolt action for hunting coyotes. I have researched and decided that Savage is the way to go for me. With their Accutrigger (adjustable to 2 pounds or less) and their new AccuStock, it should be a great shooter right out of the box. Right now, most guns...

I think for most of us the desire to preserve our life is greater than the desire to preserve our wealth.
