      Changing Your EDC for Winter Because of Gloves

      Short version of this post: Possibility of PW4 in February. Possibility of cold-weather CQC training class with HandK. Got me thinking about working my weapon with my winter gloves on. (This has nothing to do with using a bigger gun for winter and smaller for summer.) Does anybody else...

      gun safe in an unheated garage?

      I'm running very low on storage space in my house and want to know your thoughts on storing guns in an unheated garage. The garage is attached to the house however the garage door and the exterior wall are not insulated at all. So what do you all think? Thanks

      Against the law to not shovel snow?

      In Chicago, it is the law apparently, that you must clear your sidewalk of snow within a given time. I heard it being discussed on the radio this morning. This is the best article I can find for now.

      Why do people freak out over snow?

      Anyone ever wonder why when there's a forcast for snow there's a mad rush to store and all the milk and bread is being hoarded??? Do people eat more milk and toast when it snows? :dunno:

      Hi, I carry a Glock 19 in the appendix position. I ran into a problem this past week with this cold weather. When working outside I had extra layers on clothes on with bibs and a coat. There was no way I would be able to draw my pistol in a quick fashion. I am always going in and outside so...

      Cold & Guns

      If I keep a loaded pistol in a locked box under the seat of my car in extremely cold temps, will/does it have any effect/affect on the guns reliablity, accuracy, functionablity, or anything else that you could think of? Just wondering if anyone has had any problems with guns in extreme temps?

      What I learned during the ice storm

      The only "disaster" situation I've experienced was an ice storm a few years ago. I (and the whole town) had no power for approximately three days. That meant no stores were open, no restaurants, and no way to cook food at home. I thought maybe it would be helpful to share what I learned during...
