    Do you think a person convicted of a felony should be allowed to own a firearm?

    I'm a Law Officer, and I even think some of you take it too far..saying that "if they committed a felony, they should lose all rights forever" I believe it should be left up to a "review board" of sorts.. For starters, I think it should depend on the original crime. If the felony was a...

    Farewell to the Tomcat

    The FA/18 Superhornet is a "compromise aircraft". It's not as fast as the F14, not as maneuverable as the older model FA/18, and the range is not spectacular either. However, it does strike fighter, bomber, and recon missions fairly well. The Navy's purpose, was for it to replace the EA6B...

    Besides the 10/22 what's a good .22LR rifle?

    +5 on the 597.. I've killed hundreds (no exaggeration) of treetop squirrels with mine, mostly headshots..with a tasco 4X scope.. Unlike the 10/22 with that wooden "toy" stock, the 597's is ergonomic, comfortable and practical for a grown man. It is by far the most accurate .22 rifle...

    Advice? Rem 870 Express/buckshot with rifled slug barrel?

    I just purchased a Remington 870 Express, that came with a "screw in choke" 26" barrel, and a 20" barrel with rifle sights, but without any rifling..(smoothbore) I like the shorter barrel with rifle sights for home defense and just general truck carry.. Can I/Should I shoot buckshot from...
