Anything I can do to help, PLEASE let me know. [email protected]

I've had guns all my life. And also kids. Both my sons understood what they were, and WHY they were. When they were younger, I had all my guns locked up, and unloaded. Except for my HD weapon, which I had in a "fingerprint" type safe by the bed. My main issue here, is how your new found lady...

I use 75 grain TAP. In a .223 with a 1in9 twist, I've heard it tends to "tumble" out beyond 75 yards or so. Not sure if that's true. But, as my Bushmaster Carbon 15 would be what I consider my CQB weapon, I wouldn't deploy it much farther out than that, anyway.

I want a .50 BMG.....just CUZ! I'd also like an XD compact .45. And you twist my arm, and I'll take an AR-10

My wife is sorta liking the Bushmaster. Thinking on gettin her CCW.

Some of my friends are a bit jealous of my collection. They say "the wife or girlfriend don't care for weapons". Guess I got lucky. MY wife is always after me to buy more ammo. (Is that perfect, or what?) Why do I have so many? Because I can. I have a friend who owns probably 150+ assorted...

Well, I went I went to the gun show. Nothing jumped out at me. Picked up a couple spare 20 round Mag Puls for the .223. Got a good deal on a synthetic stock for my Model 70. Walked around until I lost the wife. Hehe. she didn't have her cell phone with her. Bet THAT won't happen again.

Sorry your sister feels that way, Grumpy. My guns "aren't just laying around" either. But they ARE where they need to be, is case SITF. Several of my friends sort of think my actions are "over the top". But those same friends say they are coming to MY house, if the "zombies" ever come out. LOL...

Why I carry a weapon WHY I CARRY A WEAPON 1. The police cannot be everywhere all of the time, so it's up to me to protect myself and those around me. I can't depend on law enforcement for protection. Police are reactive, not proactive, and are minutes away when seconds are critical. 2. A...

Grumpy, I like the way you think. LOL. I also have a Mossburg 590 by the bed. My .45 semi I wear on my hip at ALL times. ( yes, even in the bathroom.) My Bushmaster Carbon 15 is also standing by with a full (30 round mag loaded with 75-grain HP) My wife knows how to "rack" the 590. and how to...

I live in Oklahoma. Been CCW since longer than I can remember. I have at least 2 gun shops I visit regularly, and a Pawn shop where they know me by my 1st name. LOL. (some REALLY good deals at some of the Pawn shops). All of these places do the "instant check" before I carry my purchases out the...

I agree with Hunt480 I don't CARE about the pelts on a useless animal. I use a Winchester Model 70 in .270 with 130 grain soft points. "One shot, one Kill"....hehehe

I had the opportunity (and the money) to get both a Bushmaster Carbon-15 in .223, AND a Winchester Model 70 in .270. The Model 70 was pre-owned, and very well cared for. The Bushmaster is loaded with 75 grain TAP for close-in work. (50 yards or less) I'd use the .270 if I wanted to "reach out...

In Oklahoma, we have a Castle Doctrine type law that has been expanded. We have NO "duty to retreat" Anyplace we lawfully have a right to be, gives us the right to "Stand our ground". I don't try to put myself in a situation where I'd have to deploy my weapon. I don't take my CCW permit lightly...

WHY I CARRY A WEAPON o The police cannot be everywhere all of the time, so it's up to me to protect myself and those around me. I can't depend on law enforcement for protection. Police are reactive, not proactive, and are minutes away when seconds are critical. o A gun is the only thing that...
