    A useful farkle for motorcyclists traveling armed

    I was traveling recently with a handgun for protection. Although I am licensed in Oregon, and Idaho, Utah and some other states recognize my license to carry, I suspected I may travel in Nevada and California that do not recognize my license to carry concealed. I found this Lockdown Handgun...

    Norwegian Royal Guard precision drill team

    I ran across this. The drum and bugle corps is very good. The marching is precise. And they throw around the M1 rifles pretty darn good too. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! https://sorisomail.com/email/16993/exibicao-de-banda-militar--um-espectaculo-imperdivel.html
