Gun Tips<br />
By: Lloyd “Duke” Hodges<br />
Looks like spring be sprung. Wet that is. Not good for long<br />
and short guns. Evil words like spring cleaning come to mind.<br />
This is true with firearms as they collect residue which will<br />
gum up and slow functions that makes them operate properly.<br />
So haul out the solvents, brushes, ramrods and all the stuff<br />
you hate and clean em up. I keep all that stuff out of sight<br />
mostly cause I don’t enjoy cleaning as much as shooting.<br />
Now, I have had a few embarrassing moments when my<br />
semi-auto slide ever so slowly traveled forward and did not<br />
seat the round in the chamber and did not fire.<br />
Remember if a gun will not operate it ain’t nothing but a paper weight. Have you thought about<br />
a gun safe with a dehumidifier? Security and dry storage is a good thing. Other than that a light<br />
oil rub down will retard rust and protect your expensive investment. There are many options that<br />
may be used such as long and short gun storage zippered scabbards. I have taken to use the desicant<br />
pouches usually found in med bottles. Can’t hurt. Oh, yes, Forget the idea if a little oil is good a lot<br />
of oil is great. Wet down your carry gun and you will see a very dark and permanent stain on your<br />
favorite garment. Trust me on that. And if you fire a super oily gun you may get sprayed. In the<br />
meantime with all that is occurring here and abroad be careful, obey the law (even if the bad folks<br />
don’t), withdraw if you can, be smart, avoid conflict and have a reasonable mind set.<br />
Train, Observe, Be Alert, Be Alive!<br />
