    For FORD owners that don't know

    I'd a told him, "Do you mean that Chevrolet builds their trucks so cheaply that the rotors will warp just from driving through a puddle?" (You gotta admit, that's pretty bad!) I've always liked the looks of an S10. Glad I never bought one.

    Which CCW Insurance Program?

    He sounds like my kind of guy - he has a lot of good things to say on the CCW podcasts. Here are several of their podcasts - all have really great and vital information that you need to know if you are going to carry: https://ccwsafe.com/search?search_for=podcast

    Are Single-Stack Pistols Extinct?

    Get yourself an Ammo Armor protective sleeve for your spare magazine, and start carrying it in your pocket. That will give you an extra load of ammo for your single stack gun.

    Which CCW Insurance Program?

    I have CCW Safe - I believe I have the Defender plan - I have the one for military and first responders. I chose CCW Safe for the following reasons: They are self-funded - no anti-gun groups will be able to pressure the insurance company providing the insurance to drop them, like they did with...

    Sad to hear

    I always thought of Colin Powell as the consummate gentleman; but he was not a politician.

    A Question to Ponder on Miscreant Control

    My thought is that if someone has a propensity to violence, if they aren't mentally capable of safely handling a gun, or if they refuse to accept the concept of "the rule of law", they shouldn't be allowed to carry or own a gun. I think most of us can agree on those general concepts; but I...

    Recommendation for EDC belt?

    I think it's good to get something inexpensive if you aren't sure what to get. I got an inexpensive carry gun (the Ruger EC9S) and an inexpensive pocket holster; and both have turned out to be decent options. Thing is, if either one (or both) didn't work out, I didn't lose much by trying them...

    A Question to Ponder on Miscreant Control

    In my view, if someone has been convicted of committing a violent crime against another, or if they are a member of a terrorist group, or a group which seeks to overthrow the government, then they should not be permitted to carry a gun. You could add to that list children, and those who are...

    Should I carry a spare magazine

    An update on Ammo Armor: * In my opinion, Ammo Armor is the perfect option if you want to pocket carry a spare magazine for the Ruger EC9S / LC9S. However, it is not good for the Sig P238 6 round magazine . The problem with the Sig magazine is that the Ammo Armor sleeve holds the magazine...

    Recommendation for EDC belt?

    That's not a brand name? ;) Excellent belt. It was $35 plus tax and shipping (total $43.28). They actually do have a belt for $30 plus tax and shipping. I can't tell any difference between the two, except that the $35 belt is "smooth finish full grain leather", and the $30 belt is...

    Recommendation for EDC belt?

    I have a Kore Essentials belt, and I have never had the problem you describe. I have had excellent results with this belt. If you want a dressy belt that doesn't look like a gun belt, that will look good with a coat and tie, this would be an excellent choice...

    Recommendation for EDC belt?

    I have two belts - one is dressy and the other is casual. The dressy belt is from Kore Essentials, and it costs $60: https://www.koreessentials.com/collections/gun-belts/products/x3-buckle-black-reinforced-belt-set The casual belt is from Thirty Dollar Gun Belt, and it costs $35...

    Amnesty International and "poor people"

    “Whenever you create a sword-fight by letting the poor people fight back and give them the arms, it creates an added element of complexity. You do not know what the results could be.” I'll tell you what the results WILL be - the "poor people" will be able to put up a fight against those who...

    Armed Robot Dogs

    I think this is great for the military and the police, but I really hope this sort of thing is banned from the civilian market. https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2021/10/14/the-age-of-the-gunslinging-robot-dog-has-arrived-n50974

    Father Arrested For Toddler Shooting Mother During Zoom Call

    Unfortunately, that's the first place a toddler will look.

    Father Arrested For Toddler Shooting Mother During Zoom Call

    Why was there a bullet in the chamber? If there is a toddler around, and your gun is not on you, you could at least not load a bullet in the chamber.

    Father Arrested For Toddler Shooting Mother During Zoom Call

    Why was there a loaded gun in the Paw Patrol backpack? More to the point, why did the toddler have access to that backpack when there was a loaded gun in it? Pretty shocking. https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2021/10/14/father-arrested-n50949

    Dangerous Steps: Viet Cong Booby Traps

    I don't think the North Vietnamese army was that primitive -- they were well armed and well trained by the Russians.

    Dangerous Steps: Viet Cong Booby Traps

    Wow. That's some scary stuff. As I read through the article, I wondered if any of the North Vietnamese troops or regular folks ever got caught by their own booby traps. I turned 18 long after the draft had ended. Back then my main fear about going to Vietnam was that I would be captured and...

    Red Dots and pistols. I have seen the light.

    I don't want a red dot on my carry gun. It is small and no frills. Slips into and out of my pocket easily. I fear that a red dot mounted on top would snag on something as I'm pulling it out of my pocket. If I ever carry IWB I might consider a red dot. I have a red dot on my rifle, but I've...
