I love prowling around in the woods, shooting my firearms, shooting my bow, making videos, meeting our viewers, and pretending to have a brain. :-)

I'm no expert on Elon Musk, but if he truly DOES approach things from a Libertarian perspective and is successful in buying this site, I'll resume use of it.

I'm loving it that Uncle Sam is going to forgive debt! No student loans here; however, I'd like reimbursement ASAP for three mortgages and 4 or 5 car loans I paid off back in the day! Where's my check!!!!!!

Best alternative to YouTube? Have used Rumble a little. Tried to upload a video to Rumble this morning and had it all uploaded and set. Duh, nothing. It just sat there locked up, even though it was uploaded 100%. Please, Elon, make a creator-friendly video platform here!

John and I dropped by the 2nd Amendment Rally in Nashville today. Looked to be about 75 or so folks turned out in the rain. When the Confederate flag showed up, we decided we'd been there long enough. Great PR for gun owners and the 2nd Amendment. :-(

For my fellow revolver lovers out there, it doesn't get much better than a vintage S&W N-Frame. And the .45 Colt cartridge makes for some nice "icing on the cake."

@MAC_Arms @Beretta_1526 Cool idea for Independence Day. I'm not much for "Open Carry" either, other than around my own property sometimes, but I like the idea of doing that for one day a year. That might be something worthy of promoting among firearms owners in hopes of catching on big time.
