Well, the time has come, @SummRidge 's boy is turning 15! Alex is getting his permit to drive and even though Brian and myself are TOTALLY comfortable teaching him to drive we decided that Rascal should do the honors! Just touched base with Rascal and he muttered something about feeling safer in France and I told him him to stop being scaredy trash panda and to be a good friend. Got him in line now. Evidently Alex needed a new hunting rifle so I reckon they are headed to Knoxville to shop a bit! On theme for this week's fun is a Browning AB3 rifle chambered in .30-06! Y'all know what we like but be sure and wish Alex, who this post should be a surprise to, a big hearty wholesome happy birthday! As always, thanks to @SummRidge and let's all have a great week! Good Luck Godspeed (especially to you Rascal & Alex) and Keep Going!

It is actually starting to cool, thank The Lord, and the nights are starting to arrive just a bit earlier. Soon that superior season will be upon us. Autumn. This reminds me of story from a few autumns past when Rascal had to deal with some ne'er-do-wells raising Cain late one night at the shop. When I got there I found the creature dressed in his best 1800's sleepwear and holding a .45 revolver. "You take the light, i'll lead the way." was all the talk he would allow. He handed me the Humming Meadow Silo Taper Hurricane and deeper into the dark warehouse we went. Given that this was years before Humming Meadow was stocking these I have no clue how he came by it. No, I did not bother to ask. How that evening unfolded is a story, perhaps, for another time. For now I will thank @SummRidge for always supporting us and will say that this week's fun is a Taylor's and Co. Remington Conversion .45colt revolver paired with a lovely Humming Meadow Silo Taper Hurricane Candle holder (will be throwing in a candle too!) I hope all of you have an amazing and blessed week and are looking forward to fall as much as we are! Good luck to all and Keep Going even when it gets spooky!

Rascal found out he got to partner with the beloved & celebrated @RoofKorean7 for this week's giveaway and that varmint has been strutting around the shop with his chest puffed out all morning, lol. We are happy to promote this great example of American resourcefulness and bravery as well as his book Rooftop Korean: Memoir of the 1992 L.A. Riots which is set to release tomorrow, 09/15/2026! Tony said to do it right! So, we are including in this week the BALLISTIC ADDITION of his new book which has both a shot right through the title page but the legend's signature as well! These were very limited and I was very surprised he had one left to offer you fine folks! We could not get Tony to throw in his Daewoo rifle, understable, so Rascal is coming through for you all with the new Harrington & Richardson Retro M16A1 20" 5.56 rifle! Given X has new feelings about our festivities we are asking all the long time folks to inform our new friends of how it all works! Please check out @wargate and wargatebooks.com to make your purchase this week and support Tony! Thanks, as always, to @SummRidge , and all others that help make these possible!

My dear friends, it is with great pleasure that Harvey, Rascal, and myself (with the ever present support of @SummRidge , of course) bring you our first BIG COZY CONTEST! My most beloved season is Autumn, then Winter, Spring, & Summer. In that order. SO, when Ken suggested to our venerable X wholesome poster, @OldHollowTree , that he sweeten up one of our giveaways, and the good man buzzed at the opportunity, deciding to offer up a Humming Meadow mug, I got excited and decided to try and rope in a bunch of wholesome Americana to help us get through this last bit of summer heat and look towards autumn. With great generosity of spirit we, all of us, considered breaking the prizes up and, perhaps, next time, we will. However, they all compliment each other so very well that I simply cannot do it. THERE WILL BE ONE WINNER OF THIS GRAND HONEY POT!🍯 If I were to tag each of our wonderful participants in this post X would see to it that this post got very little algorithmic traction. That we cannot abide. So, I have included their name and handle next to each their items. GO GIVE THESE SWEETIES SOME LOVE! DO THE THINGS! This will run until the following Monday, as always. First, Rascal has for you a Browning AB3 Hunter in .308! If you do not already know how to play along, read the comments and or ask around, our community is kind and will help you out. It is everything you might guess! Love you all, Love this community, and I love a big cozy autumn. Cheers my friend, and a big southern hug. Let the festivities begin.

Well.. I found The Rascal. Straight Chillin'. Goober sat there enjoying his music, for a long while. I just stood there, pretended to be unimpressed with what he had done to the library, and waited for his dramatic pause to conclude. After a while he just grinned and handed me this Canik Prime Radian in 9mm and grey finish. "They'll dig this", is all he said. I left him vibing and got right to posting. This week Harvey, Rascal, and @SummRidge are proud to offer up the highly coveted @canikarms Prime Radian 9mm pistol. Do us a all a solid folks and explain the details in the comment section! Good luck Godspeed Keep Vibing!

In honor of Dolly, one of the great pride's of East Tennessee, we are giving away what, according to lore, could well have been a type of gun she carried. Especially when being pestered on the streets of NY. One thing we do know for sure, Dolly was a pistol herself and definitely kept one handy, especially in the days before she could afford personal security. For this rare and occasioned Harvey's Memorial Giveaway we and @SummRidge present a Smith & Wesson 36 Classic snub chambered in .38 Special. It will not surprise you that this is a "9 to 5" giveaway and will run from 9am eastern today to 5pm eastern on Friday. The replies to this post are what count and will be drawn from. Say somethin' nice about Dolly or share a post as a reply that you’ve come across over the last 24 hours that was especially insightful and or meaningful to you. Even post a song or clip of Dolly, that you love. For fear of overdoing it and becoming tacky and dishonoring I will aim for this to be my last focused personal Dolly post for a time. Love y'all and rest easy Tennessee Girl.

Found Rascal out back passed out next to the picnic table. I was worried he'd been into the sauce again. Turns out he had but thankfully this time it wasn't the full on hard stuff, just that tasty @Half_A_Pond Kentucky Rebel Scum sauce! We have a few more summer days left and a few more bbq's left to enjoy! This week Rascal wants to give you a fireside 6" Colt .357 Python and is including some sauce so good it made his hair stand up! As always we thank @SummRidge for helping us make these happen every week! I am depending on you kind folks to tell the people what to do and how to participate! Don't dawdle and miss out on the sauce! Get in on this one, my friends!

I don't want to make too big a deal about this, (would rather just pretend nothing ever happened), but I have to say RASCAL is back to his old self and we are all feelin' good about it. I think spending a little time with his cousin, Jimothy, and getting some mountain time in was just the ticket. These two have a goofy sense of humor sometimes so when Rascal radioed in to say this week's contribution to the 2A community would be a NUBSUB in honor of is little squished cousin, I was not surprised, lol. So, as you all know, to participate in the festivities, give us and our wonderful weekly sponsor @SummRidge a follow and do all the other things too! Be sure to ask the regulars if you need some pointers! They are happy to help. Love y'all, have a great week, good luck and Godspeed!

There is so much that could be said about this week's giveaway. I will simply hit the main points: A man, Jordan Salinas, who seems to dig Splinter Cell went from live action role play to live action and likely saved many lives in Twin Falls, Idaho at the @innoutburger in doing so. We celebrate that in today's litigious culture this man chose to risk his life and his liberty by doing the righteous thing. He held to his convictions by going armed and by running towards the direction of gunfire, of imminent danger. Reports are that he rendered medical aid after the gunfire ceased, as well. In honor of this man and that masculine sacrificial heroic American spirit that runs, not away from conflict, but that fights for the opportunity to get between evil and goodness, and effectively, Rascal is proud to do a little LARPing himself. Today, dressed as Jordan, Rascal offers up an FN Five-seveN 5.7x28mm pistol with fde frame and black slide! We thank @SummRidge for sponsoring yet another giveaway! TO ENTER this week's festivities: FOLLOW us and @SummRidge , REPOST or QUOTE POST this post, and REPLY to this post. Let's share this one far and wide, my friends! Good Luck Godspeed Keep Going and Go Armed!
