    Man, pool halls are dangerous

    I had permits and carried conceal for almost 40 years, I totally agree that Kyle Rittenhouse was completely wrong on all counts. He should never have placed himself in the position he was in, and then when things turned negative, his first action is to use his gun, even though he caused the...

    Man, pool halls are dangerous

    Thanks very much for the support and thankfully the Tacoma prosecutor also saw things from my perspective. As far as Rittenhouse is concerned, I just think he was completely wrong. He intentionally placed himself in that situation. I don't know what he was thinking, but it appears that he...

    Everything in Asia is about saving face (personal pride) so yeah, I can understand that the competitors would want their faces plastered on every wall possible. Thanks for sharing your experience. I enjoyed reading it..

    Trip report: I traveled all the way to China to play in a Heyball Masters Tour event

    Thanks very much for sharing your experience. I've been to China and I've seen what you're talking about. I'm an ex patriot living in South Korea so trips to China are very inexpensive. Thanks very much for sharing your experience. I imagine the first time you see it. It is pretty eye-opening...

    Cue identification....Abe Rich? Rich Q?

    Jayman posting a reply above, he said it was a RichQ and I certainly agree with him. I have seen a lot of of these cues over the years and this is a classic Rich Cue.

    Cleaning Balls - Machine vs Hand

    Yeah, dirty balls really suck. I mean they just do. But be careful whencleaning your balls with ball cleaner, you may get an allergic reaction so I would test spots before I completely covered them in the cleaner. I wouldn't even consider putting them in a machine that could be dangerous and you...

    Older Cue Butts

    It depends on two things, first who built the cue, and second what materials were used in the cues construction. When you wanna talk about old wood, we have to mention the old Brunswick cues from the 1920s and 1930s. When I was building cues whenever I could buy one piece cues like that I would...

    Man, pool halls are dangerous

    I was in a restaurant eating with my wife. She was sitting right at the table next to me. The guy was coming directly at me with a knife, which is certainly immediate danger. He was about 6 foot five and well over 200 pounds. he was too big for me to take down. So I told him to stop. I told him...

    Man, pool halls are dangerous

    Thanks for the post and I’m fully aware that under different circumstances I could’ve very easily have been prosecuted. But the circumstances that occurred when I shot that guy clearly identified him as the aggressive and dangerous individual. The restaurant was full of people, and they were at...

    Man, pool halls are dangerous

    Thanks for the information. I really appreciate it. However, I didn't even need a lawyer. They never held me after the shooting. They processed me and released me. I think that was mainly due to the witness statements and to the video from the cameras in the location, it was really clear this...

    Man, pool halls are dangerous

    That 380 auto has all the fire power I need. I use standard hollow point rounds with a standard load, nothing special nothing fancy. Like I said HU, that's all the fire power I need for protection a 380 will get the job done.

    Man, pool halls are dangerous

    I certainly don't recommend shooting someone like I did, however, it seemed like the right thing to do at the moment. I realize the consequences of my actions and what could've happened under different circumstances. But in the end, the guy that was stabbed, survived his wounds the guy that I...

    Man, pool halls are dangerous

    I conceal carried for approximately 40 years and I carry the same pistol never changed it up. I carried a Walther PPK 380 auto nickel plated, I like the size of it. Because one could tell I was carrying when I carried that weapon. I had a simple philosophy for conceal carry never pull a gun...

    Need help tracking down vintage materials for a cue.

    Hello, I really like those designs. Also, I like that material. Unfortunately I closed my shop in 2013. I had a lot of this material. I sold everything with the shop I used to build number of cues that were very similar to the designs in these pictures. I've been sitting here thinking about it...
