The door to the Survival Condo closes slowly, sending a resounding thud through the concrete parking garage. Those inside have surrounded themselves with walls up to 9 feet thick, ready to withstand a nuclear explosion, the eruption of Yellowstone�s supervolcano or an outbreak of avian flu.
Larry Hall, project manager and owner of the Luxury Survival Condo Project, says he feels safer with the doors closed.
He says he�s sold all 12 luxury condos in the former Atlas missile silo � which once housed a nuclear warhead � not far from Concordia, about two hours north of Wichita. He�s working on a second silo.
A full-floor unit is 1,820 square feet and costs $3 million. A half-floor unit, at 900 square feet, costs $1.5 million.

On the debate of constitutional carry, maybe we should look at the Tennessee Constitution to determine what the limits on government may be. Constitutional carry is a fully protected right in Tennessee. Article I, Section 26, on weapons and the right to bear arms states: �That the citizens of this State have a right to keep and to bear arms for their common defense; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms with a view to prevent crime.�

First Gear- MSR/AR Handguard, See-Through Mags & Short/Light Update

Fair warning: One of these may prove a very difficult thing to own. The only saving tactic or grace will be if you only shoot your MSR/ARs off a bench/rest or bipod: If that�s the case, you may only notice that it�s stout and handsome, just as promised. But if you tote that rifle much, or run and shoot it, you may well be doomed. Unless you�ve gone to a lot of trouble, your current handguard is between 20 and 30 percent heavier than the Feather�and maybe more�and it�s hard to believe how much lighter and quicker the front of the gun will seem with a Carbon Arms out there.

Did you know Arkansas had the lowest percentage of yearling bucks harvested than any other state in the country last year? Only 7 percent of bucks harvested were yearlings, or button bucks. That's half the amount of the next closest state (Mississippi) that came in at 14 percent. If that doesn't surprise you, this might: Arkansas ranks third in the top states with the highest percentage bucks killed that are at least 3.5 years old. These rankings were found in the 2017 Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) annual Whitetail Report.

Is it possible to support the people�s Second Amendment right to bear arms and also support common-sense limits on gun ownership? In the real word, most definitely. But it if you�re an Iowa legislator in 2017 and you're supporting new laws to expand access to guns, you�re not living in the real world. You�re living in a fantasy world of gun-toting, would-be heroes � the �good guys with a gun� � who honestly believe that the proliferation of guns will reduce crime and keep our streets safe for women and orphans.
