Good with this and encourage it in others.
As a former call center worker I can tell you that anonymity is what creates all this hostility. By comparison, years ago I worked in retail while going to college and people were far better behaved when the encounter was in person. Auto parts. Many...
I've seen both male and female new shooters at gun ranges. Why is it that only the girls lean back instead of leaning forward or at least standing straight? My nephew and I went to a range once and he brought his girlfriend, who'd never shot before. Even after I instructed her to lean into...
I worked in an auto parts store after high school in the late 80's. The place was in an upper-middle class area that a coworker used to call "the land of the $40k-a-year millionaires" because they lived wealthy lives but were in credit card debt up to their eyeballs. Most people had a Mercedes...
Take a scratch-anywhere match and hold a straight pin or sewing needle along the matchstick, pointed end toward the match head. Then wrap it tightly with a small strip of foil about halfway down the length of the match but leave some of the pin sticking out (we used to use a chewing gum wrapper...
I've heard a similar comparison between a horse and a mule. Most folks think a mule is the dumber of the two but if you leave your horse in the barn with all the hay and oats it will gorge itself until it dies where the mule will eat enough until its full and then stop.
18-inch 12ga pump in a wall-mounted shotgun lock, plus a CZ75 compact .40S&W in the nightstand. Both have lights with pressure switches near my support hand position.
I had to look it up. There are "perennial candidates" who run almost every time but have little to no chance of winning, like Ralph Nader. They pretty much run because they want their message heard on the national stage and feel that the Republicans and Democrats don't address their issues...
Ohio was my first, just a few years ago after I left the PRK (Peoples Republik of Kalifornia). Getting a carry permit in Cali was and is damn near impossible being that it's a "may carry" state where you have to show a compelling need to carry. I got my Ohio CHL in 2015 about a year after...
If you ever go to Vegas there's one such place near Fremont Street, just east of the dome. More of a cocktail bar really. You pay a cover going which gets you tokens for the games, after that it's a nickel a game but the cocktail waitresses hand out free tokens with your drinks. Last time...
A gun room with a vault door would be a pretty good selling point in a house, especially if it were properly equipped not just for security against theft, but also against damage. That said, if you go that route I'd make certain it was properly ventilated and equipped with dehumidifiers...
Discovering microbial life on Mars (or anywhere else in the solar system for that matter) wouldn't get a huge reaction out of me. I'd probably follow the story over time with the attitude of "I'm not surprised..." but would also be concerned about leaving such life on its native planet and not...
