Gun cleaners and CLP I consider snake oil for the most part. About a decade ago I switched to homemade "Ed's Red" and believe it's superior to any CLP I've used for both cleaning and protecting. Ed's red however will not remove copper. I use ammonia based cleaners when copper removal is in order.
3 in regular rotation.
A nearly full size 9 with OWB.
A 45 shield OWB. I don't really need this but it is smaller and lighter. I like this for canoeing, hiking camping. It's stainless
A .380 IWB for shorts. Basically last minute tuck and go firearm.
The nearly full size 9 is what I carry...
I called the IL state police the day I officially left the peoples republic. I called because there are some rather serious penalties regarding possession of an illegal CCW permit. The laws at the time indicated I must turn the CCW card in as quickly as possible to the very nearest police...
Well, where riots persist, local LEO are fully capable of arresting ne'er-do-wells and stopping unlawful activity. Elected people are preventing local LEO from preserving order. So yes, people directly elected the people who decided to let people riot without consequence. Simply put, the people...
I've joked for years bonkers leftists would try and regulate mills and lathes because....well, the children. I even joked when technology allows, they would track steel that could be used to make guns.
HB7468 is vague, but they're coming for our machine tools now, maybe grinders and stick...
I'm not happy with police vested with federal powers popping in and out doing the work of local LEO. Really for a lot of reasons but one thing for sure. People voted for exactly this. Didn't they want people expressing themselves this way? Didn't they want retribution from angry mobs at this...
Locks are to keep honest people out. If you are a regular watcher of the maker of the video, you know how many big name locks are junk.
Exposed hinges are actually laughable on a safe but people buy because the average consumer doesn't pay attention (to just about anything) or critically think...
I looked online (IDNR) and despite being in a state of condition #2, they don't say state (public) ranges are open. They also don't say the ranges are closed. Any recent word on status of ranges?
We were told "70% infection rate and 3% mortality rate". Did I believe social distancing was wise when this started? Heck yes! I believed we needed to slow rates down to prevent my Mom from suffocating in a hospital parking lot without getting any care. Well my neighbors Mom also (because I'm...
So many questions here.
Silly to talk much about it because we have next to no answers.
I'm always skeptical of the media and one question is easily answered.
The dead guy is just a jogger. If so, he either lives in the neighborhood or within a close distance.
If yes, bubbas in the truck have...
I finally completed the bench(s). An 8' and a 4' bench.
I need to mount my presses and I'm trying to avoid buying another bulky tool (drill guide).
I need to drill through 5.25" of table to mount my presses and don't want to bugger up the alignment.
Any suggestions on getting a 1/4" hole 5.25"...
Obama could have and would have had logical reasoning to cut spending 10% every year until balance. Across the board - evenly. He would have been a hero to both parties, and secured half of republican votes. All this while doing his social meddling.
Side request #1 - what's this about curb...
I like to use a bit of the car wash with wax as it aids drying quite a bit.
To dry, I simply put the separated wet brass on a dedicated and full size bath towel. Fold lengthwise to make a long burrito (as mentioned previously).
Then grab each of the longs ends and alternate tipping ends to...
I've read a ton on these kit greenhouse. Basically, they will collapse the first significant wind if assembled as instructed. The doors leak and they lack ventilation. With many more greenhouse screws (cushioned and sealed), labor and parts to firm up weak spots, you'll have a somewhat ghetto...
I personally wouldn't raise prices during an emergency but "gougers" perform a very VERY valuable service. Toilet paper - none on the shelf. Specifically because the price is too low. If stores simply doubled, tripled or even quadrupled the price, people that actually needed toilet paper, would...
I fell ill about a week before things started shutting down. Not typical Wuhan symptoms but the person I got it from shows Wuhan symptoms. I'm under 50 and healthy. We're doubling Wuhan cases every 2.5 days. This needs to change, if not, we'll be at about 30,000,000 in a month.
I prefer OWB. Winter is easy. Dickies long sleeved shirts will conceal full size when reaching on shelves. Coat covers the bulge. In summer with long pants, I wear oversized walmart short sleeved plaid patterned shirts. Conceals well and I wear these as an over shirt. When it's really hot with...
Hey, just because we're "up north" doesn't mean xxx.
Sure, Lake county is blue, and the great Illinois migration (for the past 2-3 decades) ins't helping an already liberal part of the sate, but plenty of good folks up here.
I absolutely agree the new migrants are bringing their voting...
