Common sense, which is not that common anymore.

Way back in the early 70's, I took high school Army ROTC. I was introduced to the M-14 back then. Later I joined the Army, had a very Intimate relationship with the M-16a1 for years. Few years back, I saw the AR-10. Needless to say that brought back memories. So I got the St. Victor AR-10.

Look at children out and about then look at adults out and about. Children seem to bounce all over the place while adults are generally tasked oriented while out. Even my wife, while clothing shopping, will go up and down each aisle. To me, she looks to be lost. Her method. Guys head to the...

This is really true because I will be out and about, seeing people with headphones on, head down while looking at the phone while walking alone. I guess that statement about 98% of the population are sheep.

The sad tale of Task Force Smith is a cautionary tale for those that fail to heed the lessons of the past. Trading lives for time was tolerable for earlier conflicts in the 19th, and early 20th century.

The most that I did for my AR-10 and AR-15 was add fiber optic sights. I have the flashlight mounted to each, and the 10 has a nice scope while the 15 has a small scope on the hand carrying rear sight handle. I wonder where that tale of jamming came from if the magazine is resting on the...

I conceal carry my 1911a1 in a leather holster. I wear very large, loose fitting tops. Since people say I look like a linebacker, it works for me. I will admit it take a few times to get the belt and holster to work. But nobody notices it on my side.

In Jr. high school, we had an after school model rocket club. I remember that some of the guys would buy this model rocket kit. It seems to have had a bulbous top. Talk about going down memory lane on this one.

Over the past several years of being a lawfully gun owner, the MOST overlooked aspect of using deadly force is the legal fallout. Both criminality, and civilly ramifications. Knowing when to pull that trigger is just as important of know how to pull that trigger. And to a lesser extent, are...

I forgot all about that subcaliber device.

I was in C2/6, 78-80. Carried that beast also. The bipod fell off during field training, and I had to cradle that beast for several days.

Public service announcement: The state of Texas allows gun purchases without the background check if you have a valid Texas license to carry.

I will take a slight disagreement with your post. To save money (cost lives,) the military did not follow with the recommendations like the chamber being chromed. But overall, once the bloody learning curve was over, it was a solid weapon.

While a child in the late 60's and early 70's, we played board games to pass the time. Several of them where the Avalon Hill board games of WWII. These games were based on historical events. Panzerblitz and Panzerleader. The game designers used historical events, units, and maps to play out...

Insanity.

Makes sense. Combat is the living personification of random acts of insanity coupled with unbeliveablity. Why did I survive while everyone else did not? Why was I bumped off that vehicle at the last minute, only to live? God's hand, random luck? I tried to tell my son on his first deployment...

I stopped to get gas while on the way to the range, and then it hit me like a ton of bricks. I need to be aware of what is around me. I had several weapons and ammo in the truck. All past times getting gas, I failed to realize what I was not noticing while getting gas.

Lot to think about in this article. I have a membership to a legal defense plan. They do a great deal of educating its members about what to do before, avoiding, and after a use of deadly force. Education is the key here. Knowing when to pull the trigger is just as important as know how to...

I am not a hunter, but this article was funny as the day is long.

I have the Crimson Trace laser/light combo, and no one seems to make holsters for that setup.
