    LugEr pistol

    The Lugar pistol was not chambered for the .30 Mauser. The two cartridges that the Lugar was chamber for were the .30 Luger (7.65 mm X 21 mm) (NOT interchangeable with the .30 Mauser) and the 9 mm Lugar (Parabellum) (9 mm X 19 mm).

    LugEr pistol

    First, it is LugEr not Lugar. It all depends of what type of Luger you will be getting. Luger pistols have been produced since 1900. Some are worth a couple of $100 and some are worth tens of thousands dollar. The vast majority of Luger were produce in 9 mm Parabellum (9 mm Luger, 9 mm NATO, 9...

    Stainless steel and Prop 65

    Bed Liner Confusion

    Rhino lining, Line-X, Raptor Liner and now a new guy in town Custom Linings all claiming they are the greatest thing since sliced bread, flush toilets AND splinterless toilet paper. I am totally confused. All I want to do is line the inside of my 1/4 ton Canadian military trailer to protect it...

    Coyote Brown T-Shirts

    I know this sounds a strange request but when camping and off-roading (I guess they now call that "overlanding") up in the mountains I like to wear a subdued t-shirt. I just think it looks cool. Anyway, I need to replace my subdued t-shirts. The ones I had were Fruit-of-the-Loom but I can't seem...

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    I have made my decision on my personal experience (I realize that it is anecdotal evidence and results may vary). Over the past fifty years of what use to be called 4-wheeling (now called I guess it is called overlanding) I have had three occasions were the presents of a firearm prevented the...

    You also seem to be playing doctor by diagnosing my motivations ("No, its fear"). Just returning the favor. At least I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once!

    I disagree with you when you call it fear. The proper term is situational awareness! A person is afraid only when they are not prepared.

    It is not fear. It is being prepared. "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail."- Benjamin Franklin

    Police in California and CCW Permits

    I can see it now: Question - Do you have any ammunition in your car? Answer - No, just a ton of weed. Reply - Have a nice day, sir. Next car. Officer - I see a 22 RF round on the floor board! Out of your car with your hands up! Up against the car! You are under arrest for bring ammunition into...

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    FYI - In the third edition (1918) of "The Complete Official Road Guide of the Lincoln Highway" in the section entitled "Don'ts for Tourists" it states "Don't carry loaded firearms in the car. Nothing of this kind is in the least necessary except for sport, anyhow.". I strongly disagree with this...
