      Got to meet Elena Kalashnikova

      Haha, yeah I was hoping for the same thing, but she's getting pretty old, probably late 50's, early 60's. Shoot, the old man is somewhere in his 90's! Another cool tidbit, the neighbor was also present when Kalashnikov met Eugene Stoner and discussed building weapons. He has tons of pictures...

      Got to meet Elena Kalashnikova

      So one of my fellow relief commanders here in DC has a neighbor who is apparently a dear friend to Mikhail Kalashnikov himself. He found out Elena was coming over from Russia for a visit, invited to our work and for a dinner. The neighbor is the president of the Virginia Gun Collectors Club...

      Polishing duty boots

      Lincoln Wax is pretty good if you want a quick shine. Kiwi is better for a deep black with a mirror finish. Tips for a finely polished shoe or boot: Use sandpaper at first, 1000 grit. It takes the texture out. Use leather die after. Buy some cotton dust cloths from the store- skillcraft...

      Louisiana Law regarding auto-opening knives

      I was given this knife by the lead Gerber rep himself. Im trying to figure out what the heck Im going to do with it next year when I move back down.

      Scenario: someone wants to rob/hit you.

      DISAGREE! Not old enough to talk about the scenario, but old enough to slap a 240B in his hands with 1000 rounds in his ruck and send him marching through Afghan mountains? He just needs to learn, and I think 19 is an appropriate age to ask about such scenarios. :)

      True American Hero

      I got the honor to meet this hero a couple weeks ago. I am also doing his uniform for his ceremony on the 15th! Very down to earth guy.
