One of the many internet myths going around is that if you are a veteran using the VA medical system for your healthcare, your doctor will ask if you are ever angry, depressed, or suicidal, and if you say yes, the government will cancel your concealed weapons permit (CCW) and confiscate your guns. I guess […]
After reading yesterday’s Bad Nick Blog, titled Armed Citizens Fight Back, several readers e-mailed me to ask if I have a concealed weapon carry (CCW) permit, and how fulltime RVers can get a permit to carry a handgun. I actually have two CCW permits, a non-resident from Arizona, and a permit from South Dakota, our […]
As massive storms moved across much of the country yesterday, we spent the day and evening monitoring the weather.

As of now, we already have about 100 RVs registered, and at past rallies, most of the registrations come in during the last three weeks. So I think we’re going […]
