      Concealed carry permit

      I took a concealed carry class at the Shooters Club in Harahan about 6 weeks ago. This past week, I got a certified letter in the mail from the Louisiana State police indicating my finger print cards were not of good enough quality. An enclosed letter indicated having my finger prints done at...

      My new purchases

      It seems like the recent mass shooting has brought out the anti-gun people again. Unfortunately, President Trump has indicated he may be willing to compromise and pass some form of gun restriction. This has embolden the anti-gun people further. It seems like they may gain some traction this...

      Bump stock

      I need to qualify something first. I am an uncompromising advocate for the Second Amendment, I just don't think the anti-gun crowd are honest negotiators. They are not interested in "reasonable gun control" or "gun safety." Their end game is an outright ban. With every shooting, they clamor...

      FN Herstal SCAR 16 SBR

      Earlier this year, I had bought a FNH SCAR 16 BLK with the standard 16 inch barrel. It is a sweet weapon. I had planned to buy a second one designated as a FNH SCAR 16 CQC BLK. The "CQC" meant "close quarter combat" and has a 10 inch barrel. I had exhausted my efforts to locate one. It...

      Engraving in New Orleans area

      I made a similar post last year. I got information on an engraver in the Gretna area that many of you spoke highly about. I saved it on my phone for future use. My getting my stuff engraved took a back seat to cancer treatment and then my phone was left in my pants pocket when I did laundry...

      IWI Tavor X-95

      Anybody have any experience or opinions of the IWI Tavor X-95 Bullpup? I have one expected to be delivered this upcoming Wednesday in 300 Blackout. Any recommendations on an optic? Another X-95 in 5.56 is on my wish list.

      Will Haden of Red Jacket Firearms sentenced

      I just read a news article here on the computer that Will Haden of Red Jacket firearms has been sentenced to life with no possibility of parole. When news of his arrest surface, I was floored. I thought he was a good guy.

      FN Herstal SCAR 16

      I took receipt of my FN Herstal SCAR 16 yesterday. It is a rifle I have wanted a long time. It is not yet a Class III weapon, but it will be when I eventually add a 10 inch barrel. From telcom order to receipt took a bit over a week. I was lucky to find one in stock, they are normally in...

      FNH SCAR in 300 Blackout

      If any of you guys discover that the FNH SCAR is being released in the 300 Blackout caliber, please shout it out so it will come to my attention. Or if the FNH SCAR 16 or 17 can be modified for that round. I don't think it is possible, but maybe you know something I don't. A FNH SCAR in 300...

      Credit Card account theft

      I had made a post 1 or 2 months age which revealed a vendor I had done business with. Someone then warned me to check my credit card account as the vendor had been hacked and he had 1 or more fraudulent charges to his account. I checked my account and all was OK. Today I got a phone call from...

      Hillary's America movie

      There is a new movie out entitled "Hillary's America" by Denesh Desousa. I may be spelling his name incorrectly. It opened yesterday. If you are anything like me and you are concerned over the direction this country is headed, then this is a must see for you.

      H & K, MR762A1 magazine

      Question. Does the H & K, MR762A1 use the standard AR-10 mags or does it require a brand specific H & K mag? Thanks, Grandpa

      Thank you

      I am sitting here watching TV coverage about the 3 police officers killed in Baton Rouge this morning. This is very unsettling. I really don't understand what is happening. There are just too many occurrences and far too often. The police are the thin blue line that separates us from anarchy...

      I've been thinking again

      I've been thinking again. Yes, again. And this usually turns out to be expensive. I have bought several Cat III items during Obama's administration. I didn't need them, nor particularly want them. But was motivated to get them now, before they were banned. Anyway, getting them is one...

      ad attached to posts?

      I have noticed that an ad gets attached to my posts. How and why does that happen? And how to I get rid of it?

      EO Tech Holographic Sights

      I recently went to the NRA Annual Meeting in Louisville, KY. While there, I bought the EO Tech 300 BLK holographic sight that lists (MSRP) for $549.00. Plus, their G33, 3 X magnifier that lists (MSRP) for $589.00. I paid a total of $900.00 for both at the Kensie's Optics booth. I did this...

      NRA Annual Meeting

      The wife and I just arrived back home from the NRA Annual Meeting in Louisville, KY. We volunteered to work at the convention. We both had a good time. It was interesting to see many of the manufacturer's products and we met many interesting people. We also had the opportunity to hear Donald...

      Just thinking

      I am just thinking that I bought 5 Class III weapons and 3 supressors during Obama's second term in office. Some of it is still in Purgatory. Plus I bought a couple of non-class III guns and a bunch of ammo. It seemed like a good idea to get this stuff before the "banners" outlawed it. I...

      Need gunsmith

      I have a bolt action old rifle that was flooded in Hurricane Katrina. It has no cash value. If I recall correctly, it is a Sears rifle. It was my grandfather's so it has a lot of sentimental value. I would like to find a cheap but high quality gunsmith to restore this rifle to at least a...
