Name those guns.

Movie promo, any guesses on what movie and who the actress is?

Wonder what's going on with this picture?

Sorry for the double image, they really are the same image. I had a error saying it had failed so loaded again then it would not let me edit to remove the extra.

I drove by GPS to get home in some really bad snow storms back in the snow belt but only turned with visual confirmation. When you only have 10 or 15 feet of visibility and are going very slow it works. Couldn't see well enough to keep track of where I was but the GPS warned of curves that I could watch for and tell me when I was close to the road I needed. Probably not the smartest thing to do but when your half way home from work and get caught in lake effect snow you don't have a lot of choice, no safe place to pull off and you can't turn back.

Looks like a good one for a caption.

Didn't know these were still being published. I bought these for every state I spent much time in. Loved them. I got myself in trouble a couple of times following the smaller roads they showed. Once in the mountains of NY, I couldn't turn around and the boulders sticking up in the middle of the road were to big to straddle. In Maine a lot of the smallest roads belong to the logging companies and they can change fairly quickly. I was taking a short cut because I was getting low on gas and got lost when there were more roads than the map showed. I made it with about a quart of gas to spare.

IRA fighter, 1970s

I was a map junkie for years and a very early adopter of GPS. My first GPS had to be plugged into a laptop to work, sort of. I now over use my GPS and on trips usually have at least one other mapping program running on an iPad that my wife uses to check routes and plan side trips. I also often have my iPhone on a separate mount on the dash in case we need a third opinion. Still have stacks of old atlas and maps, can bring myself to throw away a map even if it is several decades old. I do have a car, truck & tractor that might still run after an EMP if it isn't to strong, all made in the 40s & 50s. Of course I would get lost driving them

Interesting photo.

Garegin Nzhdeh, Armenian freedom fighter during his voluntary service in the Bulgarian army during the First Balkan War (1913). Always carry spare ammo.

I thought it was interesting that in NY (top three anti states) you had to have a concealed carry permit to even own a handgun (or touch) but all you needed was time and money to get a permit. Took me 9 months and that was living in a very conservative county, some counties took two years and you might get turned down for not giving a good enough reason for needing the permit (no refund on fees). But no training at all, not even class room. I took to levels of NRA handgun courses even though I had used a handgun before moving to NY 40 years before, because I wanted to. Got my Utah permit and had 8 hours of classroom and took a couple of months. TN with training was about 10 days. In my class of 25 or so I think there were 2 that got in the 90s and the rest of us 100 on the live shooting. That included a couple of people that had never shot a handgun and the instructor took extra time with.

Not sure what is the story behind this one. Maybe a movie outtake. Revenuer and a moonshiner???
