Choosing the Right Firearm for Home Defense

The security of our home and loved ones is paramount, and the decision to acquire a firearm for home defense is not one to be taken lightly.

Tips for Caring for and Securing Your Handgun

Are you concerned about your handgun's care and safety? That means that you're a responsible gun owner. Gun owners should be constantly ensuring that their guns are in a safe place and that they've been properly prepared for storage. Here are a few tips to follow.

Garage Sale vs. Pawn Shop

Many people often go through their household inventory, clean and reorganize. Fall is not only a new season, but an opportunity to clean house and streamline life in general.

Home Defense: Firearm Accessories

Most well-rounded home defense plans take every possible scenario into consideration, and include options to mitigate any potential crisis before or while it occurs. Modern technology enables the deployment of sophisticated home security systems, including intrusion detection, video surveillance and remote operation. If nefarious activity can be detected early in the process, it is likely further escalation can be averted. Investigation and criminal prosecution can also be enhanced by facilitating better identification of criminals and their actions.

What to Look for When Examining a Firearm

Cosmetic flaws may be indicative of normal use, although some may be telltale signs of a bigger problem. Firearms used regularly for hunting purposes may reveal minor blemishes from field use. Personal carry guns could show slight wear from being holstered. Older pieces might exhibit their history in the form of tarnish or faded finish. The bottom line is this – if a firearm has been used properly and cared for, it should never have major dents or other visible abnormalities that could compromise its function.

Why Buy your Electronics at a Pawn Shop?

The world of consumer entertainment technology is an ever-changing and rapidly advancing field. No sooner than you buy your newest smartphone is there a better version of it available. You just finish setting up your cutting-edge home theater system, only to see the ‘updated’ version being advertised. That Blu Ray player that has barely a few movies played through it has now evolved to feature streaming capabilities. It’s nearly impossible to keep up with all of the ‘latest and greatest’ marketing, but some people seem to be on top of the trend at all times.

Getting Money for Items of Value

We’ve all heard the idiom “one man's trash is another man's treasure”, and it’s certainly an accurate statement. We can take it a step further and say that some things you once saw as treasure can end up being trash, so to speak. Back in the college days, you bought that brand new stereo system much to the envy of all your friends. It was replete with a dual-cassette unit and even a turntable, paving the way to production of endless ‘road-trip’ tapes. With a two channel amplifier and speakers the size of an average refrigerator, you were styling with the latest and the greatest. But times have changed.
