What. On. Earth? It’s gonna be real hard for me to stay a Ruger enthusiast.

Black hawk and Super Blackhawk? Redhawk and Super Redhawk? Single Six family?!? For Pete’s sake!! What’s left?!? Is Ruger even Ruger any more?

What will this do to the value of my Rugers? I was considering selling my No. 1 in .223 (semi-bull “varmint” bbl)]]>

For some reason, we don’t know why, he just howled once and fell over dead. I can’t describe how devastated we are. He was only 3 years old. We’ve lost him exactly 364 days after we lost little Pumpkinhead last year. He’s the third one we’ve lost since they were born in 2003.

I don’t know how much more this old man can take, Gotta go cause the keyboard’s getting wet.

I just got my first pay stub and they didn't pay me what they quoted me in the job offer. Instead they paid me a lump sum for the position that works out to $16.81 per hour. And then the 1/2 hour of overtime they paid at a rate of $8.30/ hour. 

Not paying what the offer said is one thing, it is a shyster way to do business, certainly unethical but maybe not illegal.  But paying less than 1/2 the hourly rate for overtime is absolutely illegal on both the state and Federal levels. I'm kind of pissed about that and would really like to jam it up their asses but need to line up a new job before I go nuclear with it.

So what say the group? Any way you see this as being something I shouldn't go talk to an attorney about?]]>

That said, I have secure, but fairly quick and easy access to an AR pistol in 300 AAC and a 12 ga pump shotgun. I have trained and practiced with a number of home/self defense weapons of the long gun and hand gun varieties. But because I don’t live in a ‘dangerous’ place (more than once Chicago’s Finest have collected 9 mm casings in the alley behind my sister’s house) I have never found the need to brandish said weapons outside of a shooting range setting.

So, I never thought of the issue of hearing protection because I’m always wearing it at the range -until someone here mentioned it. If ANY sort of firearm is discharged in the hallway of a house, my hearing is likely to be totally disabled for some time. What if there was a pair of ‘active’ suppression shooting muffs stored conveniently along with the weapons?

I know there is an issue with the extra few seconds to put them on and the delay that would cause. But, I’m about as blind as a bat without my glasses and they have to get put on anyway. And I’m not going to take time to use my hearing aids, so prior to any shooting my hearing will be anything but acute. Active muffs solve both the problem of not hearing well before shooting is necessary and the deafness afterward of shooting does become necessary.

Thoughts? Recommendations for proper equipment?]]>

In Toronto, very rude assholes when they find out we are American & the wife was actually verbally attacked for marrying a American and so on so forth 

It’s filthy, druggies, trash, just looks like a inner city garbage dump 

The further west we went, the nicer and polite people were as well as cleaner 

In Saskatchewan now…..people have been nice and friendly

The news is constantly saying how Trump’s tariffs are attacking Canada. How trust with the states has been violated and will take decades to repair if ever 

How tariffs are paid by the American & not Canada & in 5 years this will be proven to be a boom as Canada is buying Canadian and building Canada instead of importing from the states 

It’s like Trump is a Canadian politician as wound up Canada is….the PM ran on a anti Trump platform and he lies to the people so he looks good Doug Ford is constantly attacking the states and Trump turn off the electricity to the states, see how Trump likes that 

Stop selling Canadian oil to the states, they will run out of oil then and on and on 

Gas was $1.85/9 a liter out east & we paid $163/9 liter today 

I was told they pay .50 cents per liter federal tax, then .17 cents a liter provincial tax & then you have local taxes of a few cents 

Canadians we have talked to don’t understand how little Americans care about Canada as it’s nothing down south like it is up here 

Oh and some bridge opening really has Canadians would up as Trump…but I don’t remember what and why 

I’ve never seen such a huge rift between Canada and the states it’s all I see on the news, tons of anti American propaganda and down right lies constantly repeating over and over 

Carney will save Canada & when I show this, I get called a liar
