Bought an Extar EP-9 pistol. But it doesn't look like a pistol; it looks like a sub-machinegun... Because it is classified as a pistol by the manufacturer and the stock on it is actually technically not a stock but a "brace", it is legal to own without the special NFA tax stamp and paying...

Haven't hung out here for a while... I guess too many twenty-somethings that I couldn't relate to in here and nearly zero traffic in the mature and divorced forums. Too much vitriol and hate in the political forums. Too much theological arguing and sniping in the other forums. Can't remember...

Been my best friend for nearly ten years now. He's much older than me at 67yrs old and retired a couple of years ago and lives down in Arizona. We talk every couple of weeks or so and he is a cancer survivor, ex Hollywood type, writer and producer, and on fire Christian. Just a great guy with...

Did not really need one and had no plans to purchase anything for quite some time but was intrigued by the offer. Someone on one of the many gun forums I'm on posted a link to a dealer that was selling the Taurus G2c in 9mm for $199. The G2c is the revamped and slightly modified version of the...

Was having issues getting a proper sight picture with my match gun at the last couple of GSSF matches so I thought I'd experiment with adding a cheap reflex sight to my G29 and trying it out. The mount was $20 and the sight was $40. I sighted it in yesterday and am a bit leery of it as the POI...

Cars are much more obsolete to your kids and to other young people than to you... I traded in my 2014 Ram 4x4 pickup on a mint condition 2005 Yukon SUV with only 81k miles on it today. My pickup was paid off and I found that a larger SUV would be a better fit for me and I wanted to get out of...

The trend I'm noticing may just simply be reflective of the women in my area and I'm in no way suggesting that the trend is all-encompassing for single women aged 30 to 50. But I am curious as to if it's common in other areas as well. In fact, there are two distinct types of single women...

Saw a Far Side cartoon in the Singles section and I'm pretty sure I was one of very few old enough to know what it was. A couple of other great cartoons back in the 80's and 90's that are no longer with us are Calvin & Hobbes and Bloom County. Too many great ones to pick a favorite, or even a...

Weird situation tonight. My daughter and son-in-law went on a date. My son-in-law's mom is visiting and helping with the newborns. She and I went to high school together and I had a crush on her back then. She was a year behind me in school. She ended up marrying a guy a year ahead of me in...

I have the next 4 days off and there was a break in the crazy weather out here so I decided to do a spur of the moment overnight camping trip. It was 50 degrees and sunny yesterday with an expected low of 33 last night. I have a nice sleeping bag rated to -10 degrees. My camper is an old, old...

I like to cook. Or rather, I like to eat homemade meals and being single, means I have to cook. I make one of the best meatloaves I've ever had, if I do say so myself... My daughter made shepherd's pie about a month ago and I was craving it, so I asked her what ingredients I needed. I had...

I'm not sure if my recent experiences on social media are an indictment of most of social media or just a reflection of a sharp decline in the hearts of man. I've been on an American firearms forum for over 18 years. Since February of 2000. It was made up of a majority of white conservative...

Only a quarter Irish and not Catholic, so not really a big holiday for me, but... I do like the Shamrock shakes from McDonald's. And the green beer at bars is interesting. And I do still have a weakness for redheads despite being married to one for twenty years... Is St. Patrick's Day...

My twin grandsons were born Thursday! Both were the exact same weight and length; 6lbs 4oz and 19", born at 36 weeks. Both were perfectly healthy. Praise God! So, so thankful! My daughter is 23, married to a great guy, and they already had a little boy who turned 3 yesterday. So I...

Was talking to a single woman the other day and she expressed her desire to move to a city so she could enjoy all of the cultural benefits of museums, entertainment, restaurants, etc. I thought to myself that I could never live in a city. Heck, I live in a town of 1200 and find it too crowded...

I shared on another site that my daughter just gave birth to twins yesterday and there were the usual congratulations and comments about them being precious gifts. Then there was "that guy" who talked about how expensive his doctor bill was and how it made him resent his son, then another guy...

I've heard that some men/women are just naturally attracted to each other due to chemistry. I haven't done any actual research on it, but I am aware of it. Do you think it's real? Specifically, the area of interest is pheromones. Do Pheromones Play a Role in Our Sex Lives? Still, after...

There was a lull between winter storms today and my grandson wanted to go through an automated car wash so I thought I'd take him through one. I went to my usual car wash and it was out of order, so I went to the next one. It looked a little short, but my truck went in, barely. When it was...

After a couple of months of 40's and grey and dreary weather, it completely changed and we got a big snow storm this week. Now we have another one hitting and temps are supposed to get down to -2 tomorrow. My Jeep is not happy...

I did. Almost every day I carried a Buck knife in a leather case on my belt. This is what I carried in a public high school in plain view of teachers and other students: And during hunting season, which is most of the year in Idaho, I had any number of rifles or shotguns in my car in the...
