    Best Gun For Dog Attack

    I live in a small town. Discharging a firearm within city limits is highly restricted. Even if restrictions are met I am responsible for ALL collateral damage. I have been attacked 3 times in 20 years. Twice walking out on the street, once in my garage. I have five doorways leading...

    Just getting old

    I live in Az high desert plateau. I have never seen a bear in 20+ years but I have been followed by mountain lion on occasion. Biggest problem is startled canines dumped by people who no longer want their pets. Most of the abandoned ferals are no problem but some are aggressive. I have kept a...

    Just getting old

    I am 74 this year. Heart attack and stint 2 weeks ago, pacemaker yesterday. Wrist problems have made me give away everything over 22mag. 20 gauge is just a little more than I can tote or shoot with comfort. I still like to go walking in high desert plateau, 5000'. Being realistic I would like...

    Any folks here like Anza Knives?

    I prefer a Buck 279 in horizontal sheath for everyday carry. That said, I live in Az. and have noticed more than a few rodeo competitors carry an Anza. I suppose that there are times in such a lifestyle positive retention would be of less value than cutting loose with a razor edge. In...

    I am getting older

    Thank you Dave but I still truly enjoy walking creeks draws and arroyos here in high country Az. Largest possible critter out there is probably a Mt lion. Bear is very rare. I am hoping a 410 slug is the answer I am looking for as I buy my meat at Safeway. thanks again blindhari

    I am getting older

    To add to my original post, I have given away quite a few shotguns, revolvers and rifles to get down to 22lr and 22mag. The first gun I ever had was a Winchester 20 gauge auto loader from 1960. If I could still shoot it without discomfort I would still own it. I would still have the Diamondback...

    I am getting older

    I have had to cut back to 22lr and 22mag due to arthritus creeping into wrist and shoulder joints. I have a chance to pickup a Savage Model 42. I was wondering if anyone had noticed increased recoil pushing slugs through them. I understand there are people for and against this caliber. I am...

    A knife you have to tap to unlock before you can open it?

    I have about 8 of these as I recall. First I got years ago from a comic book ad. It was advertised as a "Roy Rogers Trick Knife".About 2 1/4 long. I believe you bump the hinge end and the blade will release. Scales have paper slides in them and they were ad promos/giveaways for large...

    Another giant has passed. RIP A.G. Russell

    As an Infantry company armorer in the late 60s I found that with the company comanders approval I could order in personal knives for soldiers to be held in the arms room pending departure. AG Russell & Blade magazine could get Randall, Dozier, Gerber etc knives to me when no one else could. A...

    As you grow older, what are some words of wisdom can you share?

    Back in 1956, advice from a WWII Carlson Raider. "If you can't think of any thing else to do, stay low, move quiet and go to where you here the guns". Civilian version: think first, stick with your decision, Never,Ever Run. blindhari SGT 3rd Btn, 6th Inf

    Cross draw revisited.

    I am an old man and some time ago came down with diabetic neuropathy on the outside of both thighs. I carry nothing in my pockets as tingling pain always follows. Same thing with a waist high handgun. My solution is to have had a number of leather dress vests made, loose and comfortable, with...

    Creative way to justify gun purchases to a spouse

    Hey bluejeans, 38 years ago I told my wife she could have any jewelry she wanted, but I got half the amount she spent for my gun account. In all that time I have never run out of money in my gun account. She is worth every dime I've ever spent on her. blindhari

    Attention Veterans - Cabela's Cuts Vets Discounts

    At Costco a week ago my wife was waiting for a sample. A couple in their 80s(?) were looking at the hat I wore. They talked a minute quietly and the man came up and asked what the badge i was wearing meant. I told him Berlin Brigade and I had credit for Spandau Guard. He went back and talked...
