Ha! You got me. I thought you had a legit story! Should have known better from the Master of Memes.

I would probably have to harden my heart and put an end to things at some point, depending on expense and prognosis. But my wife? She would sell me to pirates for our dog's sake. It's so hard because pets place their trust in us and depend on us, and we choose to play that role. It's a...

Very cool idea. Next time I build a house, I'm going to do that.

If you're turning lights on as you go, you're lighting yourself up first, usually, and leaving yourself backlit. So you can be giving an advantage to the other guy. A few years ago in my town, some fool accidentally shot his fiance in a dark hallway, mistaking her for an intruder in the...

Vedder light draw if you want kydex. Here's a picture of mine for the XDM. Love it. Mitch Rosen Express line for leather. There is no finer quality. The photo is the 5JR model for my Sig P239. When I got that with matching belt and dual mag pouch, I wept for all the years I did not have...

In spite of the trouble that may come from helping out someone in need, it's still a good thing to do. You offered kindness and reassurance to a neighbor who needed it. The purpose of life is not to avoid trouble, but to do good where you can, even if it's just a little. Don't let everyone...

Space weather. Cool. I can't tell if it's going to rain today, though.

So you're the reason things go all Mad Max when times get tough. Instead of banding together with others to rebuild, you'll just decide you're the only one who deserves to live and take whatever you can get however you can. That's what I hear you saying. You know, it's not enough just to...

Within roughly the last year or two I added POM pepper spray to the stuff I carry. You really do need something "between a harsh word and a gun" for aggressive miscreants who don't pose a lethal threat. And I started keeping a gun on me even at home, not because of any increased danger, but...

"Should I run my Hellcat without an optic?" What kind of ridiculous question is that? As if it's "wrong" NOT to use a red dot. News flash: everyone got along fine without them until a couple of years ago. Got nothing against them. But standard sights are just fine. Like many others, I...

I'm a guy who winces at the thought of spending $50 on anything. I can't even comprehend the buying habits some of you describe. God bless you! I have what I "need" and more. But when is that ever enough? My wants far outweigh my ability to acquire, so my future gun plans are to dream of...

🙏

Daddy's pride and joy, no doubt. If I may, I highly recommend some youtube videos from the "Active Self Protection Extra" channel. They follow the training of a young woman from novice to very high level in her pistol shooting. They call the series "Chronicles of the Range Monkey." You can...

I don't enjoy getting whomped by a 12 gauge, but I'm ready to use it because it's an undeniably decisive fight stopper. I got a Mossberg 500A pump years ago at a gun show for about $275. Seemed so cheap to me, I couldn't afford not to buy it! I chose the pump because I had more training with...

I associate him mostly with Oprah from many years ago when he was a frequent guest talking about health and medical matters. That's been his lane as far as I know. I've never heard him talk about politics, because I've never listened to his show. But I think he's obviously a wolf in sheep's...

Was that video about shooting? I was a little...distracted. 😏

I trained to bring the fresh mag up before removing the depleted one and performing the exchange there at the gun, like he did in his second example. Of course, this is unlikely to be necessary for the average armed citizen, if they are carrying something with 15 rounds or so. But, if you're...

Luckily, no guns were involved, but we got a little spooked by a recent brush with creepiness. I thought I would relate it for your consideration. So it's 11:30 pm the other night. I'm still up in my living room. I hear a voice outside on the sidewalk. Not too unusual. People sometimes...

I have kydex I like from Vedder Holsters, but my first choice will always be Mitch Rosen leather OWB. It's what God intended.

Well I'll be durned. Thanks! That was some fast service!
