In business now. Still getting things organized, but at this point if somebody walks in, we'll be able to fix them up. Am contacting gunsmiths in El Paso and Midland/Odessa, looking for places to refer customers who need some service that we are not set up to supply. - Gun bluing, for example. Will ...

I'd be concerned about the guns getting beat up from being moved around so much. In my situation, the guns are customers guns, not on display. Any time they are not being actively worked on, they wind up in the safe anyway. The idea of selling guns does not appeal to me in any case. In this little d...

It's dangerous for elders to climb. - But they can sure keep an eye out for trouble, and handle a shotgun if needed. The deterrent factor would do the most good though, it's very seldom that shots would need to be fired, once it was known that the deterrent was in place. These days, a cell phone alo...

Neighborhood Watch
Remember how our neighborhoods used to be safe for our children, and you didn't hear much about break-ins and yard theft?
I'm trying to bring back the time-honored tradition where elders sit on the front porch with a shotgun across their lap.

My Marlin model 60, inherited from my father is a tack-driver. - I think he paid 60 something bucks for it back in the early 80's at Wal-Mart. It has a Leupold 2-7 rimfire scope on it that cost enough to buy at least three, maybe four of these rifles. Sights on the barrel were removed, with the rear...

The Fourth at the Firing Range
Hamburgers and hotdogs today - and a trip to the firing range. The day to celebrate and appreciate our freedoms with family and friends.

I'm sure that the officer was trying to stop him, and did so. That's the main thing, though of course it would have been better for all concerned if the crook had been DRT. It is not for us to criticize the officer from our computer chairs though. He was there and I'm sure that he did the best that ...

It'll give me a good opportunity to get to know some more of the shooters here, and gossip a bit. There are bar stools there. I took a liking to the Sheriff when my son and I took in a copy of Charles' FFL application for his records. - I had seen him driving around a time or two but had never spoke...

Got a Job
After thirty years of being unemployed, I wound up taking on a job the other day. The Sheriff here has a little gun shop, but he has found it hard to keep it open, he's pretty busy with his Sheriffing job. I don't know what came over me, but I offered to act as a counter man for him, so he can start...
