Re: I hate it, but it’s probably not worth taking a chance.

BTW, I was just watching the funeral of Pope Francis. I can't help but look at the security arrangements. With 50+ world leaders attending, and almost all of the Roman Catholic church's leaders, plus leaders of other Christian churches, all I could think was that I hope everyone is on their toes. To...

Re: I hate it, but it’s probably not worth taking a chance.

As many of you know, I run my church's safety team. We generally refer to Christmas and Easter as our "super bowls", given the crowds. Lots of "Chris-Easter Catholics" (those who only attend Christmas and Easter), lots of guests, even non-Catholic Christians just looking for a be...

Re: Western Society is re-booting....evidently so may be the Catholic Church...

We'll see which direction the church will go with the election of the new pope (writing this as I am sitting watching the funeral of Pope Francis). As a cradle Catholic, I have more than a few opinions on this :wink: . I'm hoping we shift back to conservative, biblically-based principles. I'm really...

Re: My Son the Glock-guy having second-thoughts...

Try the Springfield SA-35. The ergonomics are terrific. The hammer is a ring type, so it won't bite the web of the hand as some people experience with the original hammer design. Field stripping is, IMHO, easier than with a 1911. And it seems plenty accurate. I have a late-model HiPower, and the Sp...

Nash Patel announced today that he's reassigning 1,000 ATF agents to the FBI.

I say - good start! I'd normally be a bit concerned, knowing how far the FBI has fallen, but I get the feeling that these new FBI agents won't be working on woke stuff.

The wins just keep coming!
