Used to be a beautiful city! I grew up in Oregon and I worked in the Federal Building downtown 1976-79. Downtown had parks and riverfront walks that could match the best known. City was clean and the people open and friendly. Still have family in suburbs and used to visit often. Thanks to...
I viewed the video and agree with a majority of the disgruntled posts. I do, however, have a question that can probably be answered by members. Is the ATF routinely "as a matter of practice" doing this to multiple purchase individuals or is it done on a random "luck of the draw" basis? Either...
The conundrum of the 1911! I totally agree with all the recommendations regarding training referenced above! Training is the key to consistent application. That said, the learning curve for the 1911 is steep; there are so many things to learn, practice and apply in real circumstances. There...
A bit more expensive than most of the posts above... A number of years ago (I am old - maybe 10, maybe 20) I bought this Bugarian Makarov for $100. 9x18 ammo, fixed barrel, former Soviet Bloc standard sidearm. Accurate as all get out and as reliable as the sun coming up in the morning. Ammo...
Dating myself here... June 1972, enroute to third trip to Vietnam from Camp Lejeune. Wife of one month and I stopped for the night in Las Vegas. Who was playing but the King. Saw Elvis from about 4 rows back in one of his last lounge shows. About the only live show I have seen except for...
Recording set up to start at kickoff time. Turned TV off. Later, when I wanted to start watching, turned system on, selected recordings, cued it up and watched from start while system continued to record in real time. Paused when I wanted to and fast forwarded when I wanted to. Sorry on long...
Happened to me at Avon Costco a couple of weeks ago. Woman, frantic (?) came up an asked for 8 or 9 dollars for formula for her daughter (who, she said, was with her husband across the parking lot). Asked to see her Costco card (I am suspicious by nature). She called me am unprintable name...
I recorded it. Started watching the recording about 8:30 and was in bed by 10:00. Skipped all the commercials, play interruptions and half time and quarter breaks. Enjoyed the entire game and could watch questionable events in slow motion.
Not a collector but... The attached picture is the Tokarev (TT series) that I brought home from Vietnam in 1968. I recovered it from a (former) NVA warrant officer in the vicinity of Hue City. The holster came with it and, as you can see, it still has the 550 cord lanyard that he used. I...
I don't really see civil war. I see, however, a nearing of the possibility of insurgency. Are we that far away from the premise of oppression by the elite class of our Country over the mainstream of our society? I am not fostering that idea or action, just offering the thought.
