This message is for those who insist on playing Abuse The Deceased Equine, on both teams. No amount of rhetoric from the rock-ribbed GOP supporters will cause me to change my mind about my vote. Indeed, I'm such a stubborn, contrary bastard that my resolve has only been strengthened by those...

Last Saturday (yeah, I'm a lazy sod), I took a break from working at the gun shop and strolled over to the Dunkin across the street. I was carrying my Springfield V10 in a nice Galco forward-cant high-ride belt holster on my right side, and a mag pouch on the left. My clothing consisted of a...

The company for which I work has a "no-guns" policy. Of course. Today, the id-card reader was down, so our contract security firm, Pinkerton, posted a guard to manually verify IDs. The first guard I saw was about 19 years old, about 300 pounds of jigglin' jello, and a mouth-breather...

This weekend, Cindy and I went to the range with her PPK/s. This was our second session with this pistol. On occasion, the hammer wouldn't fall in single-action, regardless of how the trigger was pulled. After decocking and recocking, it worked. The gun was fully in battery. Ammo feed and...

Hey, look, a moderator has a Stupid Newbie Question! :D My toy store has an Auto-Ord Thompson. For sale, even. Now for the question: is it possible to LEGALLY convert it to FA, or would it be better to scrounge up a real one?

Stoopid question time... My Springfield V10 has a Novak adjustable (for windage) rear sight, but a swaged front sight. There's no dovetail up front because of the ports. Problem is, I want different sights. Is it possible or advisable to remove/replace the front sight without sending my baby...

Talk about a dilemma; I can get one NIB Taur[whack!]... uh, handgun from a manufacturer who shall remain nameless, for 50% of retail, with some minor caveats. Unexpected benefit of one of my activities in the employ of a shop that provides pistol/pp classes. This manufacturer makes first-class...

Fellow firearms enthusiasts, answer me this. Why is it that when some shallow-end-of-the-gene-pool celebrity uses his/her/its credentials as an actor to establish their absolute rightness on every topic, we sneer and yawp that they play pretend for a living... ...while on the other paw, we...

Is anyone else getting slow connections? I mean slow like a teflon-coated snail crawling up a glacier at a 45-degree angle in a headwind. ------------------ Dear Thugs: I am willing to die to protect my freedom. Are you willing to die trying to take it?

Dream I had last night has to be at the top of the list for weirdness. I went to my usual reloading outfitter to get a deer tag. "Sorry," they said, "we don't do deer tags any more." Next place I went, same thing. And the next. And the next. Then I woke up, depressed and angry. And I don't...

...Fitz is comin' for ya! Finally got my small game license yesterday. Coyotes and prairie rats are year-round no-limit here (I *really* like Colorado sometimes), and my AR is dialed in for Hornady molys, 1" @ 100m. Only question I have now is... what do I do with the mangy critters once I've...

Note: Newspaper editor HL Mencken, one of the most eloquent libertarian speakers of all time, translated the DoI into normal, everyday language for the benefit of the unwashed heathen who just didn't get it. This translation dates to 1921. ----- When things get so balled up that the people of a...

(note: This is NOT about The Kid) I had a brief vision of freedom on Friday evening. I bought a handgun, retail, with no paperwork and no background check. Cash and carry, literally. How did I get away with this? Simple: it was a Navy Arms replica of the Colt 1860 Army blackpowder .44...
