    Leaving the 'Dollar' store on Sanderio Rd yesterday. Woman: "Is that a real gun?" (1911 .45acp) Me: "Of course." She stands there... staring... open mouthed. Where do people carry non-real handguns in Arizona? Why do they ask?

    Helldorado ~ Tombstone, Arizona

    Just an observation: Bunches of guns... hundreds... loaded... openly carried without permits by both sexes who've been drinking to some extent or other. Cowboys, bikers, tourists... NOBODY IS SHOT! Nobody ever is. Nobody runs screaming into the streets at the sight of a 'gun'. Children...

    Watch the 'bystanders'

    http://video.gainesville.com/video/1737652323001 The woman in the blue shirt is more concerned about the noise than what's going on... She's oblivious and in the way. Note the other woman who appears from the right in the path of the defending shooter. This could have gone bad. Notice the...

    Guns are heavy... ammo pouches are heavy... and with any activity they'll drag your britches down. Well... at least for me. I happned onto 'Perry' suspenders, which hook on your belt, not your pants. No metal. No need to tighten your belt 'till you can't breath either. Get 'em on line. Oh...

    Open Carry in Washington question

    A friend (last night) informed me that if I were to carry my sidearm in Seattle (or anywhere else in WA) in the same open manner as I carry here in AZ... I'd get arrested.
