Stupid Sayings: “I Wish a MF’er would!”

I really, really, hate it when I hear or see someone say that.  Not dislike, literal hatred. I'm no lawyer (nor do I ply one on TV), but even I can see that being quoted as saying "I wish someone would give me a reason to kill them" is a bad idea.  It's hard to imagine …

What Scares Me Regarding My Kids

Not being there when they need me. Most people are kind, caring, and trustworthy, but there are monsters out there.

Bones Coffee Flavors, Again

As promised, BCCo is back with more flavors. These are more late-summer/early-fall seasonal, with the exception of the White Russian coffee. As last time, thise coffee was purchased at 100% retail price. I'm sure I got some sort of 10% off code for being a prior customer, but I didn't think about it until I'd …

A Case For The DA/SA For Your Carry Gun

I just ran across this piece on ITStactical.com, and figured that readers of my "What Gun Should You Buy" series would appreciate the perspective.  I'll link it below.  I didn't really address the aspect of picking an action for your first gun, though in retrospect I really should have. Since this isn't written by me, …

MoA vs mils.

First of all, what are we talking about?  Have you ever seen the following image before? The dots on the cross-hairs is what we're talking about.  They are a pre-measured distance apart inside the scope.  Since we view the dots through the scope and our eyes overlay them onto the image we see through the …

Don’t Buy Cheap Holsters

I guess this is technically an extension of my "What Gun Should I Buy" series, though this isn't actually about a gun.  That doesn't mean that holster selection is any less important.  In fact, there is a good argument to be made that holster selection is more important than gun selection.  For reference, read this story.   …
