Thank you Kodiak Cowboy. I am sensitive to this because both the state Health and Social Services (now to be split into two departments) and ADF&G have in recent months come out with press releases that allege lead bullets (not lead shot, but bullets with lead cores) killing predators that eat...

The only way I have found to push back against dogmatic and unthinking anti-2nd Amendment officials, elected and appointed, is to work on campaigns of pro-2nd Amendment candidates. My long experience indicates that because so much money now comes into a race for Congress (up to $25 per vote...

Talking about the long-lived eagle mentioned here, I've been to Whitestone Harbor many times. Just the other day Keith Walker, who ran Whitestone Logging for some number of decades passed away. Like all Alaska loggers he had run out of wood and run out of markets. The Alaska forest...

I am surprised this gun is not offered with a red dot sight as an available accessory.

Until the Covid recess my most often used centerfire pistol for indoor winter leagues was my Springfield Factory Comp. To use a red dot sight, as my eyes require indoors, I have a grip mount. It is not very suitable frankly. What do I have to do to be able to mount a new Springfield holo...
