    How often do you carry?

    Rarely to Occasionally. Active military, so on base is a no-no. My Lowes/Home Depot runs are normally after work. Aside from that it's work, kids, home, repeat. When I make a quick trip to a store, it's in an area where I've never heard anything as bad as a fist fight happening. Street fights...

    Selling a home and firearms - you realtors get in here!

    There's also the issue of clutter and space. You'll want to move as much stuff out as practical to ensure the rooms look as large as they can. You also want to de-personalize. It's not your house you're selling, it's the buyers' future house. They need to see where their stuff will go, not where...

    The ultimate selfie camera--Lily the drone camera

    I think it's got some awesome applications for people into extreme sports and some other, less extreme, outdoor activities. I'd like to have something like that for some of the trails and hikes up here. I think I could get some really cool pics of the family to add to the ones I shoot with my...

    Oklahoma house OKs bill for permit free open carry

    I don't think it's good to make AR carry in any sense, but I think people with an AR on their shoulder in Wal-Mart are fair game for ridicule and public shaming. I don't like the idea of banning carry of anything, because there may be a reason for it and the 2nd doesn't place limits on it. But...

    Oklahoma house OKs bill for permit free open carry

    It's definitely a move in the right direction, but not THE right move, IMO. Open carry is much more polarizing than concealed out 'in the wild,' and it provides more ammo for the anti-gunners to complain. I don't think the odd pistol on a hip will draw much attention. However, there are the...

    Bald eagle at Lake Hefner

    I remember seeing a nesting pair with chicks in NE OK. It was cool to watch the parents hunt and the chicks move about the nest. There's a huge preserve in Haines, AK that is a sight to see. We drove through in the "off season" and were floored. There were 4-6 eagles per tree, and no shortage...

    Laptop recommendations

    The wife and I have Lenovo Yoga 2 pros...I think. they're 13'ish inch, touch screen laptops that will work as normal laptops, folded over as tablets and in 'tent' mode, best used for movies and the like. Some like this will quickly run $1200, but we gave about $400, or less, I can't remember. I...

    FFL Shipping/Transfer fees question

    According to the ATF's website, yes I can. The problem lies in the shippers in the Seattle area. My intention was to carry across the lower 48, ship the guns to me from Seattle to AK, go through Canada and receive my guns when I got to AK. UPS and FedEx all had local rules preventing it and I...

    FFL Shipping/Transfer fees question

    Got ya. So, what's the average cost to ship one? I know there's no hard answer, but I'm trying to figure out which way to go. It may be cheaper to just fly down and get it than to ship both guns after FFL fees and shipping to AK, but I want to get a ball park figure before doing a lot of calling...

    FFL Shipping/Transfer fees question

    I know the transfer fee is whatever the FFL wants to charge, but I was wondering if they got a break on shipping costs. I had to leave 2 of my handguns with my little brother and want them back with me in AK. I know they have to go through an FFL for shipping, but I'm not really sure of the...

    Harry's Razors

    Same here. I'm not into having 'product' in my life, but have accepted it into my morning shave because it really works. I use the same soap on my ass and my hair, I don't get a new toothbrush unless my wife tosses mine, and lotion has no place in my bathroom. Having a thick beard and sensitive...

    Yeti/Pelican/RTIC/etc Coolers

    Well played, good sir. Well played. The hour was to test it/prove a point. I drank several in that hour, but left one (bottle, actually) in the OK summer sun to see how well it worked. The beer was still cool after an hour...and empty after an hour and 5.

    I Have an Interesting Question...

    Just a little clarity on the part of my post you quoted...It should say 'initial' instead of 'primary.' I know it's not really relevant to your comment on it, but it makes my point more clear. Basically, the point I was trying to get at, through the booze, is that I'd bet there are very few of...

    Subcompact/Pocket pistols, which one should I go with?

    I love my XDs. I like the grip more than the Shield, but it is narrow. I think the little Glock 43 is smaller in the hand, IIRC. I never shot it, but the Walther PPS also has a nice hand-feel. I was going to buy that until I got a great deal on my XDs. I went from a Glock 23 to the XDs and it...

    I Have an Interesting Question...

    I'd argue that anyone that says that physical attraction didn't play the primary part in their relationship is full of ****. I love my wife with everything I could imagine to be possible, and I can't imagine another person being a better fit for me....but....butt One of the decision points in...

    Yeti/Pelican/RTIC/etc Coolers

    I did some research when I was trying to talk myself into a Yeti, and settled on a Coleman Extreme. The articles I read online had comparisons that, although flawed in their 'science,' showed that the Extreme is almost as good as the Yeti at keeping ice solid. I also only use mine for beer and...

    Looking at new trucks

    I don't have any experience with the new-gen F150, but my 11 EcoBoost is a great truck. I use it mostly as a road warrior, but it's done really well up here in the Alaska snow/ice/slush we've been dealing with. It's really comfortable, rides nice, tows well, looks good and the turbos are fun to...

    Harry's Razors

    Tony, you can get a shave as good, or better, with a DE or straight razor when compared to carts. My shaves are better than when I used a cart when I use a DE. A straight, not so much, but that's my fault. My DE shaves are better because I don't get in grown hairs anymore. It's get a new one or...

    So....Let's talk about earthquakes.....................real ones.

    I bet. This one was also a good distance away. Apparently it was felt up near Fairbanks, so I bet it really rocked at the epicenter. I don't think there are a lot of people out where it happened, so I'm sure the impact was minimal. I love it up here. It was definitely MUCH more potent than...
