A good thing to do is to check your local and state laws, as to their attitude about the use of leathal force; before you may need to do so. Which is one of the main reasons for living out hear in the Rockies. Neither the city, nor state will bring criminal or cival suite charges for leathal self de...

Summer carry
My advice, for what it is worth, is rather conservative. That is to carry one of the 5 or 6 shot snub-nosed revolvers which will handle .38 +P . One of the new ones from S&W in titanium are very light, for all day wear. If you prefer a semi-auto then a Walther PPK is a good one. Carry in the 'crotch...

English And Such
Yes, well many of us either did not have the advantage of a 'Public School' education, or did not pay close attention when the lessons were taught. I know my spelling is poor, but make up for it by my excellent use of the comma ( and no there is not a world shortage of the little dears ). Oh, well, ...

Grits And 'War Crimes'
Grits are a 'cultural' thing that if you grew up eating them, then they fall into the 'comfort' or at least comfortable food catagory. And some foods are kind of neat-to-eat that don't exhibit much flavour. You can change their taste to suit your taste on different days. A word on Hussein.....He get...

Hard to pick just one, so I will name a few:- "Unforgiven"; "Quigley Down Under" ( with its great co-star Sharps Rifle ); "True Grit"; "The Shootist"; "Lonesome Dove". Could go on longer, but that will do for starts. Wish someone would do a film about the Battle Of Adobe Walls. Tom Selick is getting...
