Reholstering in the bathroom. The US Secret Service has been in a long, slow decline for years. Jump into the Wayback Machine and set it for 2012. Here we are, down Cartagena way, where a bunch of agents engaged a score of Colombian hookers for a night of fun, frivolity, and sexually transmitted diseases. That, however, was

The best locations for staging firearms differ as much as firearm preferences.
