I recommend getting a private mailbox (eg UPS store). There's always someone there to sign, things that won't be shipped to PO boxes can be shipped there, and it's much less likely to be stolen, misdelivered, or rained on. Of course, you have to be comfortable with others knowing where your...

I've also been watching from the beginning, so pardon the nerdity. Despite what the first show says, I've estimated (based on what's seen in two shows and mentioned in another) that Jericho has, at most, about 2000 people in it. I can go into detail how I came by that number if people want...

R.I.P. SN SN has apparently passed away. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2324781 He will be missed.

About the CLEO to send it to, just ask yourself, "Who comes to the door if I call 911?" If it's a police officer, send it to the Police Chief. If it's a deputy, send it to the County Sheriff. Basically if you live in the limits of a city that has a police department, which I assume San...

I haven't used them, but I've heard good things about this guy's brass reproduction MN stripper clips. Supposedly they're based off the genuine MN design, not the not-quite-close-enough "rounder" (SVT?) design that many say won't feed well in the Mosins. This page illustrates the problem with...

Hey, if you're really serious about this - and you don't trust your allies with firearms - plain ol' baseball bats just aren't going to cut it when the SHTF. How many get broken at the typical ball game? They're not sturdy enough to handle actual combat. What you want to do is give them...

(unspoken) "...and yes, we are going to ban knives next." :rolleyes: - Cliff

My dream is no witholding allowed (not for Fed, FICA, state, nothin') and no estimated tax payments either (so no "refunds"). All taxes owed are due in one lump sum on Tax Day - which is moved to November 1st. Let's see how voters writing one big check just before the elections affects the...

I wouldn't expect him to be. I'm no expert in the field, but from what I understand most poachers are caught by tracing the hides, meat, horns, hooves, etc. they sell, going back through the various hands that bought the product until they reach the poacher. Someone who's hunting for...

I feel sorry for the poachers. They only pawn in game of life. - Cliff

Aren't these two statements kinda contradictory? "You shouldn't talk about it 'cause criminals might learn it." "You can't learn it by talking about it." (Unless in the first statement you really meant that you shouldn't let criminals actually train in the hands-on course your dojo/LEO...

With respect, I couldn't disagree more. As for your first objection: ...is certainly true, as far as that goes. But by this logic this means we should not discuss the specifics of any self-defense firearm techniques here on THR either. That's clearly an overreaction. It's usually stated...

Any gun is better than no gun. But I'm not as sanguine about the .22LR as some others here. While it's a very lethal round - it tends to curve and swoop and bounce around inside the body - this does not mean that it's a reliably incapacitating round. And all handguns are poor stoppers in...

Lemme do the math: self-defense + dangerous game + inexpensive = good used 12 gauge pump shotgun (*coughcoughRemington870cough*) loaded with Brenneke slugs. Somebody want to doublecheck my work? :) - Cliff

For a laugh I answered the questions so to get the dot into the bottom corner (pure authoritarian). Here's what the results said: Hee hee! I like the Sartre bit. :) - Cliff

Call me a grammar snob ("you're a grammar snob"), but I always have a hard time believing people who Randomly capitialize Words. It Just Freaks me Out, man! Seriously, I think all rational folks know that the supply of surplus ammo is, and always has been, finite. I've been hearing rumbles...

The weird thing is, this wasn't a guy who was suicidal. You can listen to the 911 call he made after the attack here. This guy was creepily calm, true. But he also was very emphatic that he wasn't armed, he wasn't going to flee, etc. In other words, he seemed to go out of his way to make...

What kind of finish does it have? The web site just says "OD green". Is that parkerized or what? - Cliff

For what it's worth, the folks over at Tactical Forums recommend the 147gr. weight Golden Sabers. You can buy them at ~$9.00/25rd. box (not including shipping) at Cheaper Than Dirt. - Cliff

With respect... I don't have a dog in this fight, as I am not a member of GRNC or the NRA. Mr. Roberson, I live in NC, so maybe my opinion will count for you. The GRNC website is lousy. I mean, 1995 lousy. Look , the days when an organization that depends on public interest, such as a...
