Unscientific poll on blood pressure and leverguns
I noticed something interesting and would like to see if anyone here has had the same experience. :?: If you have access to a blood pressure monitor, try this: take your pressure normally thinking about nothing in particular. Then re-take your blood pressure after thinking for a minute about a gun -...

Don't get discouraged. I've been completely down a couple times in life, but was able to pick myself back up and start over and do it all better the next time around. You will too if you believe in yourself and look for opportunities. There is always work for those who want it and ethical, hard work...

well the chinese did it and now the americans have. Any bets on how long it will take the ruskis to have a go at proving they can do it too? Who else will get in on the starwars race? The US Air Force did it first over 20 years ago. An F-15 from Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., shot down a solar obs...

Is putting it through a window an option? I thought of that too, but the only large window is over a bathtub in the adjacent master bathroom. I would first have to take out part of the security fence and then take out the window. Then figure out how to get an 800 lb safe over a 5 foot wide whirlpoo...

Nope. The house is brick. Any tear-out and construction adds to the cost which I want to avoid. Plus I really don't want anyone driving past the house to see that there is a large safe going into that corner of the house. I guess having multiple safes is OK. I could have one small safe with my perso...

Putting a large safe through a small hole
My problem is that I want to put a gunsafe in a large dressing room off the master bedroom, but the doorway is only 22" (24" if I take out the door frame). This means either going with a Zanotti safe that is assembled on site or else locating the safe in the master bedroom itself (which is...

I'm not so upset by the photo as I am by the fact that this photo-op event displayed millions of dollars in SWAT-level equipment being thrown into a broken system that can't even afford to hire and train a competent police force. The needs of the citizens and visitors to the city are not being met, ...

Nagin doesn't know how to handle a weapon. :? No surprise there. Some of the local liberal TV reporters were sucking up to Nagin and saying there was absolutely nothing wrong with this because Nagin knew the gun was not loaded. They implied that the picture being published by the Times Picayune was ...

Wonder what handgun the Russians take with them? I can see having it if there is a potential for coming down in the farthest reaches of Siberia or Outer Mongolia. I think I read sometime back in the 1970s that US capsules in the orbital Mercury and the Gemini series carried a .45 on board, but that ...

It is an entry level camera. Problems include weak flash (covers only out to 15'), slow sensor (deer walks out of field before the picture is taken), eats batteries, poor resolution (only 0.3 Mpixels), no date and time record on picture, and a narrow field of view. The good things are that it is sim...

I saw one of their 357's at the range this weekend. The action was just as silky smooth as my Henry .22 Frontier. You can pretty much bet the .30-30 is gonna be the same in terms of the action. So did you get the brass one, or the blue one? And since you're getting a Henry, don't forget to check ou...

I just bought a stainless steel Para LDA SSP (full size 1911) just last week. :D Very happy with it and it is still getting broken in. It is a true double action, and the trigger feels exactly like a revolver action. I never thought about hunting with it and doubt that I will. Interesting idea though.

You might be able to write this off as a loss on your federal income taxes. At least you can maybe get a deduction to help recover some of the loss. You should tell the seller that you are writing this off on your taxes and as such the IRS will get all the information about why you are claiming a lo...
