      Canada to destroy thousands of WWII Browning High Powers

      I believe the last batch of civilian Federal agency guns that made it to market were a few Customs S&W CS 1 (basically a S&W 686 with 3” and 4” barrels around 1991. I worked for DOJ/FBOP from 2000-2020 and they would demo our old stuff out to other agencies or institutions but they cut up M14’s...

      Carry at the Air Force National Museum in Dayton, OH.

      My first duty assignment was Blytheville/Eaker AFB Arkansas a B52 and KC 135 SAC base. In the late 1980’s they brought back nose art and one of our B 52G’s was the Memphis Bell III with Red dress on one side and Blue dress on the other. I’m not sure if my Uncle was at the base with the original...

      The 8th Air Force museum in Savannah Georgia is also a great place to visit. Went there a couple times when I was at FLETC in Brunswick for Lead Recert. And being a former 8th AF guy and my Uncle in the 8th AF in WW2 was a special trip.

      My Daughter and Son in Law live in Xenia and that’s a decent town. Son in law is a program manager at Wright Pat and being retired I am in and out of the base a lot when I’m over there

      While it’s your business Respectfully that’s a silly self centered outlook. Your family would probably enjoy taking it in with you and you the memories. It’s much more than them shopping in a store your missing.

      Carry insurance options

      For Me I am partial to CCW Safe and have their FTA insurance for my range stuff. Gary Eastridge and Steve Moses are awsome and I am a friend of Gary’s son Bryan and hosted him and Bolke for a class last year. While there are always stipulations I feel CCw Safe is the best one but make your own...

      Cost effective shooting.

      Each their own but most national training programs have gotten away from a bunch of magazine changes. They do it a couple times or maybe in a course of fire but the mail.
