Powder is about 1/4 the price of primer for me.

I've done two injury-plagued stints at krav with some jiu-jitsu on the side. I learned a lot but most of all, to never judge someone by their appearance. I trained with 12 sandwich eating lardasses who were quicker than Connor McGregor and 130 pound weasels who could bench press a Volkswagon. I would like to go back, but I'm dealing with a couple injuries that would make that impossible right now. Good luck on dropping that 75 and getting some hand-to-hand wisdom in the process.

About all I remember of that intersection from way-back-when is the Shoneys, Marshalls, and the Target that sold guns (nobody believes me when I tell them this). As for Dr. Williams, well, they don't make them like they used to.

Which corner? I was all over Stage/Covington Pike in the 80s and 90s and I just don’t recall this place. I’m no barbeque oficionado, but I know where most of them are.

I recently watched Shogun (the new version) and it made me go re-read the book (it’s been 30 or so years). The book took a little longer than the show, but I’ve never been a fast reader. My dad read Shogun and Rise and Fall of the Third Reich in two or three days each. My daughter got his reading DNA. He liked his TV too, though.

Yeah that occasionally happens, but for each of those guys, there were probably 50 others that nobody knew were armed. But everybody knows the OC guy is armed. He makes sure of it.

Not much detail in the video, but I suspect the buyer is simply entering their info via keyboard vs pen/paper. The process always starts with providing an ID to an employee like the guy did in the video. Every electronic 4473 I’ve ever done has a section at the end to review all answers.

The majority of OCers I see don’t look like much of a challenge. Looks can be deceiving and all that, but most appear to be oblivious and an athletic 4th grader could probably take their gun.

I have been using components bought in the past year to reload coated 9mm/135 for about .15/round (not counting brass). The 115 UMCs from RK would cost me .27 by the time they got to my door.

I guess I’m not impressed because I know what size and caliber I want the gun to be before I buy it.

I agree, but I would be a lot more worried if we were talking about a national carry permit vs national no-need-for-a-permit. The switch can be theoretically flipped if the left is running things, but I think it would be more difficult.

Jeff Cooper talked about peep sights being more precise and friendlier to older eyes than open sights and quicker than optic sights. Seems kinda contradictive, but Cooper knew his stuff. Red dots weren't common in his day, though. I have these on a Winchester 94AE and I really like them. I prefer these lower profile sights to the big Skinner type peeps and I think they are closer to what Cooper had in mind. https://xssights.com/products/winchester-ghost-ring-sight-sets-lever-action-.html

Right, but how do you convince people that regular folks OCing is normal when you dress like a homicide detective and assume that strangers believe that’s what you are? What good does that do?

I used to know a fellow who open carried scenario 1 style. He said people assumed he was a police officer, and talked like this was a good thing. I completely disagreed because A. I don’t want people to think I am a cop or trying to impersonate one and B. Fooling people into thinking you are a cop and not Joe Citizen does not advance 2A rights or win over people. I thought his mentality was badly flawed.
