Re: ATF Zero Tolerence Policy Recalled

Forwarding to my local FFL, who went through Hell with the ATF.
They had to go back 16 years and in that total time, they found three total minor typos, and called it "a pattern".
When he refused to "voluntarily relinquish" his FFL and took them to court, they just kept getting continuances until ...

Re: 1911 Shooters Thumb on/off Safety

I'm with you.
Way back when I started shooting 1911s with the "modern" extended thumb safety tab, I managed to engage the thumb safety a few times while firing.
(Don't recall having that problem with the abbreviated safety, but that would have been too many years ago to remember.)
Since putting my ...

Re: Tracey Mann, KS introduces the RIFLE act to counter Biden's 13,344.33% increase in FFL revocations

My neighbor, who has been my FFL for 20+ years, got screwed by the ATF.
Three minor paperwork errors over the space of 17 years (none of which resulted in a prohibited person acquiring a firearm) suddenly became "a pattern" and the ATF demanded that he surrender his license.
He did not "voluntarily ...

Re: President Trump signs EO to protect gun ownership

Good, maybe I can get back my FRT.
Judge already said so, but until it happens, I'm not believing it.

Re: Grapevine - Gun Range

Let me retract Bass Pro.
Their range was down for almost six months awaiting complete replacement of the air circulation system.
Finally got that done, should be good to go for a while, right?
Wrong.

They were open for a month or so, the recirc fan went out. It has now been down for about two ...

Re: 1911 Gunsmith in the DFW

I met Andrew McFarlane (ADM Firearms, Southlake) when he worked at Bass Pro a number of years back (back when they had a gunsmithing shop downstairs from the range). He opened his own place around 2015. I have not seen him in years, but when he was at Bass Pro he was knowledgeable, polite and a ...

Re: Poland makes firearms training mandatory for schoolchildren

Kids seem to have a pretty realistic perspective.
Perhaps we should trust their judgement more than their "eductators", at least those in the US.
In these last ten years, when I have (from time to time) had real doubts about the future of our country, Poland, Czech Republic and a few others have ...

Re: The Dr. Fauci Coronavirus?

I have been reading a book titled "The Real Anthony Fauci" by RFK Jr.
Written several years ago, heavily cross-referenced and foot-noted.
When I say this, I mean that I could probably spend the rest of my life reading all of the material that is referenced in this book.
An eye-opener, to say the ...
