I watched the Republican debates the other night, on Fox, and it was frightening. Not only didn’t I see a candidate I would hire to speak for the clown at Jack in the Box, but with commentators and moderators with so many agendas and reality distorting slogans, I wasn’t sure […]

It has been an interesting week. After hearing way too many horror stories from friends and relatives regarding damaged and lost items attributed to moving companies, my wife and I decided we could do a better job of moving important personal possessions and at a lower cost. So we rented […]

The shop is near done, a few interior touches remain…like flooring and covered walls, but it is moving along quickly. Electrical and heat is in, the building inspector signed off, and it already feels like a place where people talk about guns…in positive terms. A few guys were up to […]

There was as time when very limited production, high performance muscle cars could fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Experienced handloaders recommend Lee products to novice handloaders all of the time. The price is always right, the equipment is innovative in design and frequently Lee is sold in all-in-one kits that make it easy to get started. $69 will get you a complete single stage reloading kit; add dies, […]
