You dead yet ? You got the Rona?

We all know that the internet is full of unstable people and we have folks that take their online lives entirely too seriously. Back when my email used to be visible on my forum (won’t say which forum) profile I used to get random email from people I didn’t know telling me that they were going...

So now we’ve gone beyond being just a sheepdog to become a Sheppard, a leader of sheepdogs and a trainer /teacher of sheep dogs IMO this takes the whole “sheepdog concept” to the level of a cult. I don’t even know where to go with this, what can I say that I haven’t said before? Now we have...

I’ve read numerous threads over the years about people deciding that a full size gun was just too heavy to carry around all day. I would generally disagree when the topic came up but here recently I’ve noticed that I reach for my S&W 6906 (1.660 lb) more often than I do my S&W 4006 (2.375 lb)...

This is another one of my human beings are stupid threads, To lay out the scene: four way intersection I have the right of way the other guy has a stop sign. I’m driving South in the right lane and turning right onto my street, he is facing West and turning left into my lane in a pick up with...

What is your opinion of this type of activism? Is it an effective method of getting our message out or does it make enemies for us? My final question is why is the cop so certain that his AR is cooler than the videographers

There are occasional accounts posted by people that are walking through Wal-Mart (or wherever) run into some random stranger open carrying and succumb to an overwhelming urge to run up and introduce themselves. Now the problem I have with this is that according to my experience and training...

I’ve talked about this before but I think it’s important enough to repeat. There’s an attitude that I’ve noticed both on the internet and among some permit holders that I’ve come in contact with that holding a CHP makes you an auxiliary cop. This was actually posted on THR by a user named Egon...

First let me be clear I am not talking about carrying in a place where it is legally prohibited. I’m talking about a privately owned public establishment that prohibits firearms. What are the ethics involved with carrying in such an establishment? What harm have you caused the owner of such...

Could not have said it better myself

What Would You Do? (Minus John Quinnones) This happened 30 years ago but I think I might handle it differently now. I had no firearm (too young) and no cell phone and I had a friend in the car when it happened so that might change the equation a little. Anyway, this is what happened. Sitting...

This is more a preparedness topic than S&T but how many of us give thought to what kind of footwear we’re wearing? I live on my feet, as some of you may know my job requires a lot of walking over fairly rugged terrain. So I give a lot of thought to what kind of shoes I buy for work. If I...

Got my first range trip in a while in this morning Had a friend who wanted to try out her new Millineium Pro (wasnt impressed.) and DW wanted to try out her CZ452 Scout. (Apparently DW thinks bolt guns are boring so I inherited a new CZ this morning ) Anyway about the time we were getting done...

Let me preface this by saying I know that most Hollyweed types have ZERO interest in guns, and really don't know jack about them. That said one of the most annoying (& repeated) bloopers I see is some clown trying to fire a 1911 DA. I saw it two or three times on "K-Ville", the white cop would...

While I was at work one night I got into a conversation about guns W/ a co-worker. At some point in the conversation she stated to me that in Colorado it is illegal to posses a loaded firearm anywhere but at a gun range on the firing line. She stated this as fact w/ 100% conviction. She also...

Originally posted on THR 05/26/2008 I was watching Dateline last night, in honor of the holiday they did a story W/ a military theme. What I found interesting, and some thing that I think those of us who carry a weapon for personal protection need to keep in the back of our mind, was a...

Decided to take the bike out for a spin this morning, rode from one end of town to the other. Before I left I decided it was too hot for a jacket and left mine on the front porch. After I got home the wife cooked lunch and I think I'm going to play some Golf this afternoon. Toodles

I told my wife after this that people like this guy are the reason I will not ride a motorcycle w/out a gun (or a helmet) I know I’ve addressed this here before but people like this just amaze me. I was out for a ride on my bike today, I was coming up to an intersection where I had the right...

Other than those who don't want to show off their hardware, I see no need not to expose my handgun to the public. It's far better when the criminals know exactly who, among the crowd, is armed and fixing to shoot thier azz Also, open carrying allows us more opportunities to educate the...
