    Just Ordered A Republic Forge General

    Sometimes my gun addiction flares. But dang, this is the most expensive pistol I've ever sprung for - but sure will be a beauty. Ordered it in Texas Tan with Desert Camo grips and the extra cost Texas Star hammer...was conceived in Ft. Worth...so hey.

    Concealed Carry Permit the Root of Gun Addiction?

    Yes, I know, you don't need a permit to carry concealed in Arizona. But I live just south of the Utah border and often travel over the line. Anyway, until I was 65 I'd only owned 4 guns. A plinker .22 Winchester rifle, A 16 gauge single shot shotgun, my S&W LEO service revolver, and a PPK...

    Utilikilts Workman's Kilt for Concealed Carry

    One of the nice things about carrying concealed in a kilt is no one ever expects it. Was on a 200 mile road trip yesterday and carried my Colt Mustang .380 in a Pocket Holster with the zipper top in the pocket of my Utilikilt Workman's kilt. Fit great. The small pocket on the outside of the...

    Intentional "Limp Wristing"

    Seems like on ANY gun forum anytime someone posts about a problem with a pistol someone else will post that he's "limp wristing." Yup, its happened to me too...now I'm former LEO x 2 and Marine so it didn't make sense that I was limp wristing. But still....I'd listen...and at the range be sure...

    Real Life Encounter

    This happened in Phoenix, Arizona about 20 years ago, before cell phones. A good friend of mine was a Sgt. in the Air Guard and sold vacuum cleaners at night. He dealt in cash and carried his 1911 in the glove box of his Bronco. One hot July night he became involved in a road rage incident...

    A Positive Encounter with a Young Arizona State Trooper

    So early this year a main road south of town collapsed and the State paved on old dirt road across the Navajo reservation that gets folks in and out of town. Speed limits have been real slow due to construction and lack of right-of-way fencing had cattle and horses on the road. All that's done...

    Ammo Economics - Is America a Great Country or What?...if you own an ammo factory

    Taurus Judge Opinions

    I wanted a S&W Governor but couldn't find one earlier this year. Found a Taurus Public Defender and bought it. Used it for home defense loaded with .410 rounds. Later did find a S&W Governor and bought it too. So now use them both, in separate parts of the house, for home defense. Both with...

    Pres. fails to salute Marine while boarding Marine 1...

    Surprised someone hasn't posted the pic of 4 presidents under held umbrellas yet. No one thought there was anything wrong with it for Regan and the Bush boys. Link Removed And, the President did realize he messed up and came out of the helicopter before it left to shake the Marine's hand...

    My Concealed Carry Permit Triggered an EXPENSIVE addiction!

    I've long had the planned intention of doing one new thing a month. Try new things. Three years ago there was a concealed carry course in town so I signed up for it and took it. I loved the shooting part. I had to root around in the closet to find my old service revolver (S&W Model 10) that...

    Lusting after a Mossberg 590A1

    So I'm addicted to buying firearms...not so much carrying them or shooting them (though I enjoy both) the shopping addiction - collecting part is out of control with me. At least a dozen purchases in the last two years. I do love it so! Was out on the Navajo reservation last week and bought a...

    Concealed Carry While Driving on the Navajo Nation

    The Navajo Nation is big - the size of West Virginia. Covers parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. Have seen varied reports on the Internet - everything from no problem to they'll take your guns away. Once years ago, before I had a permit, was pulled over on the rez and was asked if I had...
