      Stab proof knives (can’t make this stuff up)

      Now that the Brits have solved the dangers of pointed knives, they are still faced with the problem represented by that dreaded, sharp-edged screw driver! We must solve that! And the pointed forks. And the ice picks. And the...oh my, how will it ever get done? And removing such pointy-stick-'em...

      Concealed Carry near a School

      When I'm walking my dog down a public sidewalk and I pass by an adjacent school, I have to assume that I'm OK as long as I stay on the sidewalk and don't step foot on school grounds. My dog ain't big enough to protect me from a roaming predator that would do me harm.

      I have to re-do fingerprints for a renewal application?

      Well, I made the trip to Baton Rouge yesterday and got my electronic fingerprints. Hopefully, they will last a while. Besides the two-hour trip to Baton Rouge (four hours total), the event went OK. There was about an hour's wait because of the crowd of folks there to get fingerprinted. The...

      I have to re-do fingerprints for a renewal application?

      Yeah, the certified letter invites folks to get them done at their headquarters on Independence Blvd in BR. The option is to send two "acceptable" fingerprint cards to them; but if the sheriff's office can't provide such prints, I guess my only safe option is to drive to Baton Rouge. As I said...

      I have to re-do fingerprints for a renewal application?

      I'm ready for my third concealed carry license and though it would be the easiest yet. After all, they've had all my records for 10 years now, so it should be easy. Well, no. I took my renewal class and sent all the information to Baton Rouge. I thought I was in good shape until I got...

      WMA Daily Permits...Are They Serious?

      A few years ago the WMAs began requiring hunters to fill out a permit before hunting. At the end of the hunt, the hunter is required to fill out the results of the hunt. I assume this info is being used to track hunter success as an indication of the condition of the game. I also assume that...

      So is the @$$ hole... ...here?

      It is hard to believe the sense of entitlement, arrogance and selfishness of some people. I believe some of the "road rage" so prevalent today comes from the same mentality. When I'm hunting on public land, I purposely try to park as far away from other hunters as I can. I don't care if it may...

      Shotguns for Squirrels

      Well, I used the PolyChoke's versatility in a classic fashion this week. I was sitting in the woods in a brushy patch for cover with tall trees surrounding me. I spotted a fox squirrel in the treetops about 40 yards away. Since I normally leave the PolyChoke on an open setting in case a...

      Shotguns for Squirrels

      Most squirrel hunting I've done has been with a .22 rimfire of various sorts. But that hunting was usually in the midst of a large and isolated game reserve where the elevated shots had no chance of hurting someone downrange. In the past few years I've been hunting much closer to civilization...

      The average CCW issue time?

      My renewal processing took about a month: submitted in September, received in October. Not as long as I'd feared.

      Camo Choice

      I've hunted for 55 years now with military olive drab of one sort or another. Since 1968 it's been in the form of a Namwar-style four-pocket shirt and cargo-pocket pants. Lots of deer and squirrel didn't see it coming. I do usually color my beard during hunting season with another color...

      snake proof boots, reccomendations

      I strap some of the snake-proof knee-high nylon leggins over a pair of plain ole rubber boots. I dedicate a pair of boots for this purpose and keep the leggins strapped on. Have done this for many years. Works for me. My problem with expensive snake boots is they eventually leak. So do my...

      Help with minotaur Glock 19

      I found the Minotaur and H&K P7 are a great combo. As good as it gets.

      Anyone pocket carry a j frame? If so, what holster do you use?

      I like a Mika too for my SP101. Bought several through the years as gifts. I can't wear my original one out.

      Carrying an Asp while walking a dog.

      Once upon a time I used to ride a bicycle before I figured out the vehicles zooming a few feet away were more harmful to my health than an easychair and Budweiser. Also sometimes on my rides I faced threats from barking and snarling dogs. My solution to that was an extendable car radio antenna...
