    Sometimes, the value systems of some folks still surprise me .....

    I was at a deposition last week, and one of the attorneys there had a daughter who just turned 21. He was very proud of her decision on her birthday to get into a club for the first time and start drinking the night away. One of my sons had just turned 21 as well, so I mentioned that he...

    Pictures of guns at a wedding.

    Guns at weddings ......

    And I'm not talking shotguns either. :rolleyes: I was the best man at my middle son's wedding last weekend and the wedding photographer (a female) asked all of the groomsmen to bring pistols and sunglasses to the photo shoot before the wedding. No lie. I haven't seen any of the...

    According to a recent alert by the NRA, open carry in FLA has ....

    passed the committee and is heading to the floor of the Senate. This is VERY good news, but it appears upon a closer reading of the comments from those voting on the bill that it is not an open carry bill as such. It is more a bill that will somehow make clear that inadvertant exposure of a...

    Maryland's anti-gun stance is going to cost them my tourist $$$ this summer ....

    I'm going to be taking the wife up to the Virginia Beach area this summer, from Florida, and we'll be crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. I was thinking of staying at Ocean City, Maryland, for a night or two. Until I took a closer look at their CCW laws. :fire: Now I'll be staying...

    There is a 'Senior Assassins' contest at my kid's high school ...

    that has been a senior class tradition for years. Even though it's not an officially sanctioned school event, the school has tolerated it, and even 'unofficially' encourages student participation, as long as certain basic rules are enforced. Basically, seniors form teams of two and then try...

    This may have been the closest I've come to needing my handgun ....

    My wife and I were driving back from the beach last Sunday night (Johnson Beach in Perdido Key, Florida) and we were on a two lane, unlighted road that we had to ourselves. Then, as I was motoring by, we both noticed a woman trying to get our attention by running on the side of the road...

    My eldest kid just bought an AK 47, Romanian ....

    He spent $600.00 for it. It was an impulse buy (usually not good :uhoh:) and he knows nothing about AK 47s. He was with a cousin who said it was a good price. Anyway, is that a good price? Seems kind of steep to me, but I know very little about AKs, including value. Now he did get a...

    Someone in my neighborhood called the police on me, my kids, and ....

    some of their friends yesterday due to all of the shooting we were doing in my backyard. This is the second time in 7 years someone called the police on us. The last time was about 6 months ago, and the local Sheriff's department sent one deputy to check us out. This time, TWO squad cars...

    Range report for the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380 ....

    The range is actually my backyard. I live in the panhandle of Florida right next to a swamp, which allows me to shoot all I want on my property. Which is nice. :cool: Anyway, I know the Bodyguard 380 has had a few range reports already, but here is mine regardless. - This gun has a LONG...

    Had to kill a dog yesterday with my 642 ....

    Not happy about it, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. We've had a pack of dogs (not pets - no collars, tags or anything) running around our neighborhood for a while and in the last couple of days they decided they liked my back yard (about 4 acres with a barn, a couple of ponds...

    Yesterday was my lucky day. Picked up a ...

    Kel-Tec P3AT and .380 ammo to go with it. I've been on a waiting list for a P3AT for a couple of months. They finally got one (and only one) in and my name was at the top of the waiting list. This particular gun shop doesn't like to sell a gun without ammo if they can help it, so they kept...

    SERIOUS problem with a Makarov - ....

    To be more specific it's a Polish built Makarov (the P-64). I will just cut and paste the message I received from my sister on Facebook over the weekend: As you can imagine, that is a VERY scary thing, and my sister is very, very new to handguns. It's a real shame because she got her CCW...

    Okay, I will confess a horrible sin in the hopes ...

    that it may prevent someone else from making the mistake I made. If you want to call me names, go ahead, but it won't be any worse than the names I've already called myself. Around Christmas time I accidently fired my gun (a Kimber Ultra Crimson Carry II) INSIDE MY HOUSE. It sent a .45...

    Very cool. Just bought the Wife a Kel Tec 32 and ....

    ..... she really likes it. She is a complete stranger to handguns herself, but was VERY supportive of me getting some, and she's the one that told me to get my boys handguns for Christmas. But she didn't want to have anything to do with them. Then my sister (who is her best friend) got a...

    This is how Southern Gospel quartets roll in the Deep South ....

    This is just after a concert at a church in Mississippi last Sunday. We were getting our pictures taken and thought - what the heck - and took out the handguns we were carrying (except the guy on the right, he had to borrow one of my son's throwing knives). I've got my trusty S&W 642. We...

    Got my CCW license today in spite of the FBI's inability ...

    to read my fingerprints. :) Awfully nice to live in a 'shall issue' state (Florida). :cool:

    The F.B.I. just informed me that they can't read my fingerprints ....

    ... and as a result, they can't do a criminal background check on me. So I had to go to the Sheriff's office again yesterday for them to get an electronic reading of my fingerprints (again). I then had the Sheriff's office give me a letter stating that they couldn't get a good print of my...

    Winchester NRA Marksmanship qualification program .....

    I'm just kind of curious as to how many folks on here have gone through this, or are going through this right now. When I was a kid going to camp near the Mojave Desert in California, the camp had a .22 rifle range and I started working my way up the marksmanship ranks. It was fun and nice...

    Thought I'd report on my experience with Kimber customer service .....

    I sent my new Kimber Ultra Crimson Carry II back to Kimber so they could install some Tactical Wedge night sights and redo the finish around the frame (I scratched it around the trigger guard - don't ask). When I talked to their shop folks on the phone they said that re-finishing the gun would...
