Fudd's everywhere are now clutching their pearls over your last statement.

My XDs .45 was my EDC for around 10 years. I now carry a HK VP9 SK or my S&W J-frame .357. But I still have my XDs as a drawer gun. Love it.

No, just bi.

I was guilty of a few dine and dash episodes as a high school teenager. That stopped once I turned 18, as back then, where I grew up, 18 was the legal age for everything. That meant an adult sentence if caught. And by then I was more interested in being a legal bar patron than a juvenile in a...

I've posted this before, but here are Opie and Aunt Bee (Opie on the left, still showing off his rattle snake strike on his snout).

I had a torn tendon in my right rotator cuff repaired about 11 months ago. Before the surgery I went around with the tear for about 6 months. It was work related, but I didn't report it in time. I had thought I had just strained myself and kept straining it over and over. I had to eat it and...

During the obama years one of my claims I filed was for tinnitus. I was denied because they said tinnitus was a "perceived" condition. A fancy way of saying you're lying. I was an Infantryman in two different branches. Come on! I re-filed under the first term under Trump. That time around it was...

Just some of my history with the VA. It's never been good. For a couple of years, I used them for my health care, and it was a joke. I'll use the insurance I have from work and keep it for when I retire (coming very soon). The claim I had that was denied was severe sleep apnea. I then appealed...

I am in Texas. But my appeal was just granted today. I'm just wondering how long it took for the VA to recognize the appeal being granted in your favor, until the VA comes up with a new rating percentage. The VA itself could not give me a time frame answer. Just wondering if it will be days...

Any veterans here lately have a VA claim on appeal, and have it granted in your favor? I've had a claim on appeal with the VA for some time now, and suddenly today I was given notification that my appeal was granted in my favor. How long did it take from that point until the VA changed your...

That's how I like my rattlesnakes...DEAD!

No, because mine was a work light up until yesterday. And I will make it my bedside light now. But not a bad idea to change the side of the clip. Just in case I need to free up my non-gun side hand for some reason and need to clip it on whatever I might be wearing and keep my gun hand on my gun.

I have one of these lights also. I've had it for a little while and used it at work. It made a good inspection light. I literally brought it back home after work on Friday because I'm slowly cleaning out my personal tools from my assigned work tools since I will very shortly be semi-retiring...

That's like saying you should drive a Yugo, just in case it gets towed and impounded.
