    Does anyone have experience with electronic ear plugs? I don't like wearing muffs when shooting trap and skeet, and regular plugs limit what I can hear. I've gone out to EAR.inc and looked at their models. I wonder how well they work and how expensive they might be...

    CCW Reform Passes in Michigan

    The Michigan State Senate and State House passed HB4530 on 12/13/2000. Although it added many restrictions on places to carry, it removes the obstacle of arbitrary denial by gun boards in many counties. Governer Engler is expected to sign the bill. Michigan will thus become a 'shall issue'...

    Circulating election jokes divert suspicion

    I've seen many Florida election jokes since the election. Most imply that Florida voters are inept. I think, however, that it's not a failure on the part of the voters to vote correctly. I believe instead that someone, perhaps a diehard Gore fan, spoiled Bush ballots by punching Buchanan's...
