Amazon Launches A Drone Store
First of all, I dislike the use of the term “drone” for simple remote control quadcopters and the like. The word has been turned into something very negative because of our governments use of actual drones. Using the word “drone” to describe a remote controlled, toy with a camera on it seems a bit ridiculous. It […]

Concealment Furniture

Guitar Shaped Rifle Case
Most rifle cases look like…. well they look like rifle cases. In other words when you are transporting your rifle, or rifles, you are essentially becoming a target for scrutiny. I personally don’t want anyone (bad guys, law enforcement, or otherwise) to know that I am moving a gun/rifle. While there are plenty of options […]

DARPA's Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) program recently […]
