Quit smoking in 2007, after a long campaign of cutting down. I was down to 3 a day, couldn't decide which to cut out next. (wakeup, lunchtime, before bed) It was rough for a while. I quit on willpower, I still burn an occasional cigar while on vacation, but that's it. === The vac for small parts wor...

Very iffy in a confined area [1] , and some spray buttons allow you to spray in an unintended direction [2] . There are some instances of the target dying, so it's not 100% non-lethal [3] . Pepperblaster takes care of 1&2 - it goes in one direction as a gel, and determining which quadrant it will g...

Two of them here, one 45, one 9x19. Apparently Springfield doesn't have a fix figured out yet - I'm rather annoyed with the whole subject. Glad I didn't make a special errand to find a FedEx location to send mine in when the recall was new, I'd be fuming if I'd sent in two guns (~~$1000 worth of har...

My pepper spray choice is the Kimber PepperBlaster. It's a pistol-shaped two-shot deal that uses a pyrotechnic to launch the spray. So rather than a pressurized can, you have a couple mini-blank rounds behind a sealed tube of pepper gel. Pull the trigger once, the top tube fires, pull it again and t...

Nice looking b.e., great job, It appears to be a 22lr version. With the quad rail you could mount a lot of stuff. Lasers, lights, etc. Haka All-weather radar, DirecTV, uplink to the Space Station.......... :roll: Coffee grinder, lawnmower pull-start cord, left-handed bottle opener, tire iron, iPhon...

Definitely shooting less this year so far - and not as much 22, because I can replace centerfire. Ammo sucks, my schedule is packed, and to a degree I'm set for defensive hardware. I'm annoyed that I can't do pin matches so far this year, maybe in fall I'll have time, pin ammo is limited, I'll have ...

Looked at the RIA Commander yesterday. Like it for a carry, but I've got the 442, TC738 and LC9. I may be set. Check out the CS tactical in officer size RIA's commander (MS or mid size) is nice, but only comes in the GI setup. Their Officer (CS or compact size) runs just as reliably and comes with ...

I don't handload, so I'll take the cartridge I can (normally) find anywhere.

But 30carbine is my real round of choice, so another 0.3" bore appeals to some degree.

What other kind of people are on the TV?
I can't decide if that device is just an "idiot box" or a propaganda machine, but I'm sure it isn't worth much of my time.

Wonder where he was, so I never go there, foo many stupid people. Lord only knows what would be the result of ther procreation? looks like a beach/boardwalk so that opens up CA, NJ, NY, and IL as possibilities.

These are the same kind of booger eating morons that happily sign a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide, or end womens' suffrage.

There should be a citizenship test, and I should administer it. Some people can't be trusted to vote, breed, or pilot 3000# motorized battering rams in public.

What stops me from running a BGC on some random guy and claiming that I sold all my arms to that guy?

The core concept doesn't work without registration of every weapon - write your Congressthings and instruct them to vocally oppose this garbage.

Being out in public without manacles is all the NICS check I need.

The system currently runs as "guilty until proven innocent", expanding that insultingly flawed system is unacceptable.
