That’s a real fear of mine! But after reading your post, I might just try a na beer.

Nice! I like my Gerber LMF Infantry, I have one in black and one in desert. Pretty tough knives.

This is the way I was. Couldn’t have just one or two, but didn’t need it. Didn’t drink at work. But found myself drinking every night to excess. Mostly at home, not bothering anyone, but still. I stopped many years ago and am glad I did. Contrary to you though, I DO miss having an ice cold beer in a hot afternoon, or a nice glass of whiskey on a cold night in front of the fire. But I’m afraid I’ll fall back into my old habit if I do. My father and all of my j Cole’s on both sides were alcoholics and full of bad behavior. My childhood was filled with experiences that at the time seemed exciting, but were actually traumatic. You’d think i Would know better. I didn’t start drinking until I was probably 25 or so and stationed overseas. So glad I don’t drink now, and sometimes wonder how much it may have hurt me.

How much use have the PSA g-e3 mags seen?

Happy birthday! I’m right behind you, I turned 70 last month.

I read a post by him on either Rumble or X where he said he had no interest whatsoever in working for the govt again. He went on to say that if Trump wanted him and asked him, he would serve again, at no salary, but he said I'm definitely NOT interested otherwise.

I stopped drinking many years ago, but I do miss it sometimes. A cold,beer on a hot day, or even better a nice glass of good whiskey to sip while sitting in front of a good fire on a cold winter night…ahhh simple pleasures.

That’s what I did.

My EDC is an Sig P-365 XL Spectre (non-comp) that I added a Macro grip module to. But I also have and like my Glock 43x that was customized by Shark Coast Tactical out of Florida.I've got several PSA 15 rounders for it. Beautiful gun, I’m just more used to carrying my Sig.

If anyone old as dirt like me has problems with finding names in lots of names on lists, LOL, two of the recommended candidates are write-ins: Paul Babaz of Atlanta, Georgia and Charles Brown of Dayton, Ohio. Also the change in the Certificate of I corporation is at the bottom of the page labeled Ballot at the top. So you would put two separate sheets in the envelope. At least that’s what I did. If any of you sharper guys see any errors in my guidance, yell out!

I’ll be filling mine out with their recommendations today! Thanks.

I got the latest issue of the NRA magazine and it has a ballot for board of director voting. I’m only still fooling with them because I got a life membership before Wayne’s escapades got a lot of attention. Anyway, I don’t seem to recognize any of the candidates. I’m old though and may have forgot. Does anyone have any knowledge about any of them? Can you Recommend anyone? Thanks, guys.

No help for you, but reminded me that I truly regret getting rid of the USAF parkas and other cold weather gear years ago. I had the parkas in long and short jacket styles and mukluks for my feet.

Well, true but if we could just get a new law passed that said 17 year olds can’t shoot anyone on school property, that’d stop it. I'm sorry, i shouldn't joke around, this isn’t a joking matter as two kids won’t be coming home today.

My daughter uses it to compose case notes for her patients.

As some of you may remember, I had prostate cancer last year, went through radiation treatment and was declared in remission in January. Well they just found 2 nodules on my left lung. I have to go back in for another ct scan in early April to try to see more clearer what they are and status or whatever they call it. My cancer Dr had told me that the radiation had worked in my prostate, but tiny undetectable partials could have possibly spread before the radiation eradicated the cancer in my prostate. Anyway, long story to say I’d appreciate your prayers, if you’ve a mind to, for me. It’s in God’s hands now. Thank you.

I had a high end (for me) Sig ..308 AR. I liked it, but due to my age and all, I decided to get out of .308 altogether, so,I sold it for what I thought was fair market value or maybe a little less to a member in here. I really regret that decision. Not getting back into it though. Amongst smaller calibers, I still have my Ruger American 30-06, and while it may not be the best rifle, I think it will do me for both a man-stopper and for hunting if need be. I do need to start buying ammo for it though.

The Diplomat is pretty good too. Too many parelells to last four years and a few snide comments about a past president who is not named but obviously Trump, but still really good despite this. Think there’s 2 seasons so far on Netflix, and I’m almost done with season one so far.

I loved both seasons of Lioness. Hope it stays good!

Exactly!!!

My daughter is coming over to help me inventory my guns. She’s a good daughter, if you don’t count her teen years. LOL. Anyway, I have been looking for 2 pistols that I may have traded/sold but can find. I know my intent was to unload them (pun intended) but for a person who keep meticulous records on his firearms, I still show them in my on hand inventory. Zero chance someone stole them, too many alarms and indoor/outdoor cameras for that, but if I can’t locate them I will mark them sold. There has probably been a couple occasions where I met someone and stayed out all day afterwards, instead of my usual come straight home to document my records. I retired this year and have endeavored to reduce clutter in my room, the gun safes and the room where I store empty firearms boxes and other things. Also I need to rethink my home defense/invasion strategy and insure outside safe staged weapons are well thought out and in the right places. I’ve got three shotguns that I am going to make primary for each room I use. I’ve got a 20 ga Shockwave that I want to be my primary, and have a Mossberg 12 ga Cruizer pump which is bigger than the Shockwave wave but not as big as those that have a stock. Then I’ve got a Saiga semi-auto HOG that I may just leave in the safe. Also I have my home EDC that is equipped with a laser/light combo that is next to me usually in whatever room I’m in. I also have an AR and an AR pistol. Right now I only have the Shockwave in my former office where I spent most of my time before retiring. Ind really appreciate and suggestions you guys have. i figure if the zombie apocalypse happens, ill need a different strategy for external defense, but I’m good on my plan for that, so just needs ideas for hoods/methheads breaking in that will probably run away after a few shots from me, if they can.

The ones that are grip activated work best, sometimes too easy to activate. I’ve got one Shield that came from the factory with a Crimson Trace green laser/weapons light combo on it. It’s on the nightstand, but because I don’t like to inadvertently activate it when I grab it, like in an emergency, I won’t grab that one first, I’ll grab my Sig which has a very easy to reach switch under the barrel that I can touch and it activates the laser/flashlight like touching the bottom switch on a handheld flashlight, or push a little harder and it stays on. For EDC, I’d rather any extra weight I’m lugging around to be ammo.

Not necessarily talking about buying a gun, but I cannot for the life of me understand why an expired ID isn’t good enough for identification. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard someone say I can’t accept this id, it’s expired. I mean, are suddenly a different person if it’s expired? You’re still the same person identified in the document. I used to think it was was dumbass clerks that made these decision, but I realized that much of the time, it’s dumbass government employees.

If you want to ease into bullpups, I’ve got a bull pub stock that takes a Ruger 10/22 that works perfectly for 50 bucks!

Awww
