A couple of us stopped by the C&E gun and knife show this morning, looking for some AK accessories, ammo, and mags for a friends SAR-1. This was a smaller gun show, located in the Expo building at the State Fairgrounds, not the larger Jim Graham building. I was pretty disappointed in this show. Gun prices looked to be about 10-15% more than the last Dixie show, and ammo prices were creeping up as well. …

I am publishing this from my Android phone, using the WordPress app. Please excuse any formatting issues until I am able to get home to my computer, and fix them.

I stopped by about 4:00pm after attending a Carolina Shooters Club lunch with some forum members at a local restaurant. WOW. First impression: Quiet opening, not very quiet. …

On December 3, 2011, I had the opportunity to shoot a match at Range 37psr in Bunnlevel, NC. They hold a monthly match known as the “Infidel Gunfighter League”. The premise is that the match focuses more on sound tactics, than just on time, and points down like some other games. I must say before getting too far into this, I am a gamer. I am not an LEO, I’m not, nor have I ever …
