And now here's what's happening in my neck of the woods

Could you give us a few hints? It seems to be behind a pay wall.

Well, if we are talking about house/appt experiences too..... I came home from Christmas one year and the door of my apartment was ajar. I drew my CCW, grabbed my light, and cleared the place. Later I decided that was dumb and resolved to call the cops next time. About a year later, as I'm coming ho...

Saw this as a ad before a youtube video

Am I the only one cringing seeing steel being shot at what seems like too close range?

I would suspect they are shooting frangible ammo. It turns to powder when it hits steel.

I took my new wheelie out. I like her better than the snubbie. Story time dude. Tells us whatcha got. And did you shoot all .357? Or a mix of .38/.357? You can't just waltz in here with a little "I shot the wheelie" and leave it at that! That stuff don't fly here brother! QFT. I got a 4" Tuarus 65....

This is less of a "today" and more of a "last 9 months" post but... Replaced 2 very used/unreliable vehicles with 2 less used/more reliable vehicles.

For $50, I have found some good gear at Goodwill type places (I think my local place is St. Vincent?). But one is completely dependent on the donations of others. I waited 4 years to find a good pack for $40. I think a local Prepper donated a bunch of stuff that day. So, do you have time to shop aro...

Someone else's story, but I was told of an romantic rendevous with someone met over the internet and it turned out to be an assault and robbery. Or attempted. A weapon presented led to an end to the romantic entanglement. I have given someone on the side of the road a ride with a pistol under my leg...

Prohibition has always worked so well in the past. It surely will work that way with firearms and ammunition.

Just look at Mexico.

Maybe my standards are too low, but I'm impressed they used the words ".223," "9mm," and ".22" correctly in a sentence. I see progress. I don't think they could have managed that much 10 years ago. And let's face it: if you want to reduce shooting fatalities, we need to make sure thugs continue to h...

Well, they are ... slowly... expanding their knowledge.

And Walmart only accounts for 20% of all ammo sold in the US ? I thought it'd be higher than that. Huh. Its been exactly five years since the last time I set foot in a Walmart, so I'm actually surprised its as high as 20%. I think 20% is about right. A lot of places have no gun store. I grew up in ...

Well, so much for picking up a reasonably priced box of 9mm and not paying range prices for crappy reloads when taking a side trip to the range. (Something I've done a time or two when out & about running chores.) I guess I'll have to start keeping ammo in the Jeep for those impromptu range trips. ...

I was thinking there are a lot of 5.56 and 7.62x39 pistols out there. Also, is .22 LR or .22 WMR a pistol or rifle round? What about .410? Or 7.62x51 pistols? And there are already 30-06 single shot pistols in use for decades.

It is their right to sell or not sell as they see fit.

Their loss is the LGS's gain.

I do like the LGS and the online retailers. Walmart was nice. I wonder how they will define "handgun ammo?"

China says they are going to file suit in the WTO on US tariffs. I am guessing the never watched Episode VI.

I would love to hear more, if you have time to explain or of you have links.

I would google "leather sheath with firesteel loop" or "plastic/kydex sheath with firesteel loop." Then I would "ranger band" or paracord a pouch or altoids tin to the sheath. Some examples below: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0284/5740/files/Ranger_Bands_survival_kit_1024x1024.jpg?355 https://c...

Welcome! Good to have you! And feel free to share all your experiences. We are always learning, both from successes and from mistakes.

I wish you the best with whatever comes soon.

I suspect they chose "the military" because it is the part of the government which still commands the most respect in society. If you are going to pick a branch/agency/deptartment, that is the one to choose if you want to have any traction and respect. I kinda have a hard time with any part of the ...
