Does Procrastination Drive Spending?
10/24/2024 – It’s not like I don’t like my generator. In fact, I love it.

As an […] [Read More]
An Inexpensive CC Holster
10/16/2024 – Normally, if there is any such thing as normal these days, I would post this to Facebook as a brief comment. Unfortunately, the mental blanks at Facebook saw fit to remove our 2 million follower firearm publication page, all for the crime of posting pictures of firearms. I […] [Read More]
A Texas Road Trip Odyssey
10/15/2024 – Leaving on a Jet Plane… The following is a long, wandering narrative describing my very recent road trip. It serves no purpose other than to get the thoughts out of my head to make room for other things. Traveling is fraught with peril. If you leave home, nine […] [Read More]

Here we are. Not even mid September, but night temps are dropping into the 50s during the day and mid 40s at night. The smell of wood burning stoves is in the air, and all of this green will soon turn to New England tourist gaping autumn colors. I don’t […] [Read More]
No Zero Turning Back
Right now, I am mostly feeling guilty. I keep sitting down to write a firearm related article and I can’t. Some very long term industry contacts have been reassigned in respective organizational reshuffling, or they retired, or they moved out of the industry.

Bye-Bye Facebook
The Real Guns Facebook page was suspended today. Not a surprise, Facebook has been attacking the page and deleting posts for many months. With 2,000,000+ followers and likes, you would think it would deserve a little respect as Facebook, not us, made lots of money selling impressions to their advertisers. […] [Read More]

Too Much Monkey Business
