    Hunting in Alabama- more trouble than it's worth?

    imported post Got a wild hare to go hunt up some bunnies on the local WMA. If nothing else, I figured it was just a good excuse to get out of the house. Then I got to trying to figure out what the rules were. This makes the carry laws seem clear cut! The words license and permit are tossed...

    Hollywood's anti-civilian gun ownership agenda

    imported post 1941- The Maltese Falcon. Humphrey Bogart proudly declares that he doesn't like guns and doesn't have much use for one. 1944- The Thin Man Goes Home. In the climactic "unveiling of the murderer" scene, William Powell suggests that the police search everyone for weapons because...

    Book Signing

    imported post Had a decent signing for "Victim Selection Error" today at the Little Professor. I sold some books, but more importantly finally got to meet Jonathon Sometimes (yes, he still lurks about here). I'm looking forward to hooking up with him again at ATI's informal Monday night shoot...

    A strange "Are you a cop" comment

    imported post A couple of days ago, I was on a field trip with my wife and daughter. We were hanging out in the parking lot with some of the other families when a guy came up and asked if I had a coat hanger. It seemed a lady had locked her keys in her RUNING car and all he had was a 5.11 Gear...

    Hands off your weapon when OC

    imported post I sincerely hope this guy wasn't an off duty LEO. At a flea market last weekend, they had some armed security floating around. One of the guys I kept seeing couldn't keep his hands off his weapon. Every time I saw him his had would go to his gun and he would start rubbing the...

    Weight limit w/out a belt

    imported post I made it through the summer carrying my Ruger P89 on a belt worn over the top of my shorts. Comforting but not terribly comfortable. So I want to get a lightweight gun to carry during the summer, but before everyone starts shouting out "S&W 642", I have one and am not fond of...

    CC and,ahem, interpersonal activity

    imported post I'll try to keep this family friendlly. I'm married for 20 years and well out of dating, so the question never has and never will come up for me. But it seems the demographic here is decidedly young and single so... I'm assuming everyone carries when out on a date. So lets assume...

    My first "official" OC trip

    imported post I've been OC'ing in the car to and from work and when getting gas (often at 4am:shock:, who wouldn't want a gun), and wearing it around the house. But today was my first time at OC'ing into a store. I had to go to Lowe's for some stuff for work. I was dressed in a white t-shirt...
