"Ham on the Hoof!" Looks like great American fun. What sight is mounted there?

My son always kept a Far Side within arm's reach. The humor is about like that of the Addams Family. When I hear the theme song, I can't help but begin smiling.

You were fortunate to have your dad instruct you so wisely. Not all children are brought up to be aware of their surroundings. This skill I learned in the Scouting program but it wasn't codified until I began reading Col. Cooper's work. I miss Cooper, Reagan and Rush every day.

We are ALL a work in process! Amen

Each and every day should be approached with the attitude that everything that should have been said to your loved ones, was said. The Lord has said that then that's a belivin' in Him are not to be afearin'. He also has said those with faith can do miracles. I know from personal experience that...

I believe that mental preparation for becoming a pro-active armed citizen is where the decision to carry (or not) begins. If an individual is not psychologically prepared to use his or her weapon when needed, it is advisable to NOT carry the weapon. When displayed, there is a serious chance the...

No stupid questions! I have the Crimson Trace Laser Guard on my XD-M. Because there is no error in that beam, the "field of depth" where the bullet path intersects the path of the beam is very narrow. I purchased the M and laser specifically to be able to make accurate extended range hits. If I...

I'm betting the "self-defense" ammo was moved behind the counter as an anti-theft precaution. Generally, they are packaged in 20 round boxes and are just the right size to drop into a pocket or purse. Just a guess... I have had excellent success with Sierra projectiles over the years. This 300...

I need more study...obviously.

Excellent article! I earned First Aid merit badge in Boy Scouts and have had numerous Life Guard and First Aid classes since. It has been a few years but in every case those myths in the article were preached as gospel. I wish there was a personal first aid kit the average Joe or Jane could...

I think you may be one of those guys with an "arsenal". I'm betting you have the required to feed them all too. We should probably get you on some sort of list and have at least some of those SIGs sent to my place for "safe keeping".

First, my mother dropped me on my head when I was a baby. I know because she told me. Next, I had a misspent youth doing everything I could to damage what little mind I had left after Mom dropped me. Then, I got hit in the head with a beer bottle and wacked it in almost the same place on the ice...

I should add that when I purchased my first 44 Magnum, I began development with WW296. It soon became apparent the various combinations of projectile weights with the 296 shot better than I could. I never tried any other powder. Never felt the need to.

I have long used Hornady's 240 grain 44 XTP projectile out of my Super Blackhawk with excellent results. Sierra's 300 JSP (semi-jacketed lead flat-nosed) projectiles are just as accurate but give an added degree of penetration on the toughest of targets. I have yet to be disappointed with ANY...

How about launching flaming swine with a trebuchet? (Pigs on the Wing)

I finally bought the SiteLite system. It works great and on virtually any firearm. With the target for a specific weapon, you can travel, hang the target at a known distance, bench the firearm and check to see if your sights have changed in transit. If so, you can readjust to your known marking...

Ok, believe it or not we saw a documentary regarding the siege of castles and once the one sieging dug a tunnel under the tower of the sieged. He then ran a herd of pigs into the tunnel, blocked it off, poured some sort of flammable liquid into where the pigs were and set it afire. The ensuing...

I'm thinking the use of the truck could get expensive on front end components. As fun as it may be, how many hogs can you nail between alignments and bent rims? I've been needing a source for grenades. Now THAT sounds like fun! Now that I think about it, RPGs would be great too.

I too was confused by the comment. However, I didn't take it personally. Perhaps the original post was not clearly made? He or she is more than welcome to revisit the question.

Woe be unto him who faces a mad Thompson inside of 100 yards! I still want one...
