Re: Walking stick or walking cane?


I find that a 4-5 ft walking stick is easier and more comfortable when walking for exercise. It keeps the hand and arm more elevated. Around the house a cane is more usable.

Re: Being a gun owner in New York

I'll agree - while I don't like to be treated unfairly, maintaining safety is a higher priority.

Re: 1911 Shooters Thumb on/off Safety

I keep my thumb on top. Not sure if it helps my shooting or not, I like it as a tactile reminder of the gun's condition.

Re: Defensible Loads in Court Cases involving Self-Defense



Military use of FMJ is to comply with the Geneva Convention requirement for non-expanding ammunition. It is known for deep penetration.

Re: President Trump signs EO to protect gun ownership



The federal firearms act in its entirety.
The only constitutional part is probably the restriction against ownership by convicted felons, and states can legislate that on their own.


I disagree that the restricted person ban is constitutional either, especially not for non-felons.

But the ...
