We Defend Your Right to Defend Yourself
Just got back from watching the new "Civil War" movie at the theater...remember theaters? Big rooms, big screens, comfy chairs but you have to go all the way down the hall to use the bathroom and you can't pause the film?I knew nothing about the film prior to arrival except…
So my pal Lever Action Don recently heard about the Tulsa Gun Show, billed as the world's largest gun show. Don said "We should go!" Don is always on the hunt for the exactly perfect, very expensive and hard to find, just right, commemorative Winchester lever action so he was…
