Our member "The shooter's apprentice" has quite an internet presence under that name as an outdoor writer. I don't know where he's been published but I've done a little proof reading for him. I do know he has a YouTube channel under that name. He writes when he has the time and does honest gun reviews, mostly about personally owned firearms as well as guns manufacturer's have sent him for reviews. Maybe he'll chime in here with some links. If you put his name in a search engine you'll probably find his works that way.

I have a simple fix for this. Day 1 Trump orders the DEA to shut down all of the recreational marijuana dispensaries in those states. Marijuana is still federally illegal so they are in violation of the law. Each of those states depends heavily on the taxes on those illegal sales to finance their state governments so the hit would be painful. But there is more. The funds used in the purchase of marijuana are illegal and those taxes collected are also illegal which means the governors in those states in spending those funds and that means RICO applies. Each of those governors has significant personal wealth and that can be seized under civil forfeiture statutes. Democrats really like those statutes so give it to them hard and fast. While they are rotting in jail awaiting trial they can think long and hard about how bad they f^cked up.
Not sure how many of you guys know what I do for work. I spent 12 years mainly doing road construction and oil field work and a few other odds and ends, but moved into trucking full time last fall running the Dalton highway up here in Alaska.
I’ll try to post pics here and there on this thread and maybe tell a tale or two from the road. Right now it’s transitioning to winter. Snow and ice on the roads, but way too warm and even some rain so it’s been slick out there.
This guy had a bad day and slid backwards off of finger mountain with a set of chains on.
