Years ago my hometown newspaper, The Monitor, had a human interest section called "Monitor the Globe" where people sent pictures of themselves traveling. I thought it would be fun to do similar things here. History / firearm/ Appleseed related, of course


This is yours truly next to a 3" ordinance rifle made in 1863. I'm at Top of the Rock near Branson, Missouri. My wife, who took the photo, said I could have on but I can't shoot it at home.

The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

-- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003

16" shells on the USS North Carolina - remember this is just the projectile.  The powder is loaded separately.  For scale, I'm 5'10".
