A TSA Rant

By Gabby

The TSA is a complete waste of money and is doing nothing to keep us safe.  As I meantioned in my post, "Flights with Firearms, A Finale," I do, and have done a decent amount of traveling, specifically, on commercial airines. So today's experience has me exceptionally concerned. 

Ok, maybe I need to go back and start from the begining...

I am on a Sunday morning flight out of Atlanta and there is a lot of people on the security checkpoint line.

Who You Calling Paranoid?

By Dana

In the eyes of some of my friends and family, my new love of firearms and interest in personal safety, have changed me from fun loving, friendly, and “normal” to paranoid, fearful, and maybe even crazy.  How the heck did that happen?  Maybe those who now consider me "crazy" have forgotten the difference between being prepared and being paranoid. Let’s give them the benefit of e doubt and take a quick look at some definitions according to the iPad dictionary:

Gun Show: New York State Style

By Dana

got your tickets?

I was super psyched to go to my first gun show this weekend.  We showed up about 15 minutes before the doors opened and the line to get in was very long, which I was glad to see.  There were some people in line who brought their rifles to try to sell, trade, or have appraised (think of a firearms version of Pawn Stars). The rest of us just wanted to get inside to look at all of the treasures the room had to hold.    

As expected a large majority of the people attending the gun show were men.  There were women in attendance but most seemed to be wives or girlfriends of the male customers or the dealers and not so much gun lovers themselves.    

Hubby and I had a little chat before going and agreed that we were really just going to look and not to buy.  Since we didn’t have something specific in mind we knew purchasing a gun without performing our due diligence first could be a really bad idea.
