I have a Leatherman Wave in Black Oxide that i've EDC'd with the pocket clip for about 4 years now. I use the crap out of it and couldn't be happier. My favorite part is the driver bit. If you have to really put some muscle into turning a screw, you can shape the tool in an L-shape like a...
I put a recording app on my phone called ACR. I started playing with these "cardholder services' people each and every time, just for laughs. Well, they caught on quick that I was screwing with them and they quit calling! I kid you not. For the first time in about 5 years, I have gone almost...
I agree with the survey first idea. It may not cost you anything if your county has their GIS survey online. My county does and I can print, measure, whatever for free.
I agree with others along the lines that every threat is unique, therefore impossible to say what one would do. My first thought is do my best to remove myself from the situation. That said, there's no problem with hovering over the brake as you roll through an intersection, thus shortening...
First off, Thank you OP for mentioning weapon retention. To me, retention training is equally as important as ranGe time. Unfortunately its something that rarely comes up in discussion. Even more unfortunate, is that too many people have no idea just how quickly someone can take your open...
I agree with the other folks that struts are a pain. I did attempt it once, but without a strut press, its just worth the extra dough for someone else to handle that.
As far as the brakes, I know you don't wanna hear it, but I say do em yourself. Never hurts to learn a new skill or two...
I bought a vehicle from a private owner in IL and drove it back to IN a couple years ago. I looked into all this before buying and made sure all ducks were in a row. I will try to find links and edit this if I find em. Bottom line in IL was have a valid DL and bill of sale, and signed title...
True that! I know plenty of frail 20 year olds who, if the roles were reversed, would have just as much justification in defending themselves with a firearm.. Besides, isn't Schwarzenegger around 70 these days? I guess it all boils down to means and ability to carry out a threat no matter who...
I'm no expert on the matter, but from everything I've been taught in the world of weapons and self-defense, a fist can most certainly be considered a lethal weapon. A 20-something who is quick and powerful vs. a frail old man could qualify. Or, for instance two guys of the same age, but one a...
Weigh the risk/benefit here. Not sure what kind of store or likelyhood of crime, but lets say its a gas station, I would carry anyway and keep my mouth shut. Worst they could do is fire me, but at the end of the day IM GOING HOME ALIVE, end of story. As far as whats in your car, ts nobodys...
I've had a set of Yokohama Geolandar AT/S on my Hummer H3 for almost 4 years and they still have a ton of tread left. They are very quiet and handle very well in all NWI road conditions which tend to be extreme weather and potholes as far as the eye can see. Treadwear has been excellent as...
My LC9 is perfectly accurate and I have not needed to make any adjustments to the sights at all. I was able to pass an FBI qual course with it, which will also hone your reloading skills as it was a 50rd. course with 7rd mags. I did find that the gun likes 147gr. and is markedly more accurate...
