    Another C&R form 7CR question

    Consider yourself lucky! I was wondering why mine took so long! The ATF charged my CC the $30 on August 15th, and I literally just got the license in the mail yesterday! That's over 4 months (and three phone calls... well, more than that actually, so I guess I should say three RETURNED phone...

    Funny Until it Actually Happens

    When you do that and someone says "Hot?", you simply reply "Nah... just didn't take me long to look at it is all."* ;-) * Taken from an old joke about a blacksmith, a greenhorn and a horseshoe.

    Wired Article On Shooting

    Since he said it was a "rotary magazine," my first thought was a Ruger 10/22, but then I thought... no, those don't have any kick, and aren't heavy, either (at least mine doesn't/isn't). As a matter of fact, I haven't ever shot a .22LR that DOES kick, and you would certainly think that...

    Got a Dilemma -- Need Advice

    I don't live in SA, but around here (DFW area) there are several ranges, such as the one I haunt (The Shooters Club, Fort Worth) that will gladly store your guns for you for a very small fee (50 cents per day, $6/month or $55/year). The guns are fully insured and available for pick-up 7 days a...

    Entire recruit class for Cobb county, GA fired

    It's a good thing they were weeded out now, otherwise they might wind up conspiring to wrap a bunch of powdered drywall gypsum into kilo packs and using them to bust people they don't like for smuggling cocaine. Oh, that's been done already. :evil:

    Invasion Scenario

    It won't happen... there's just not enough southern soldiers and armament to combat the north since the Yankee prez (gotta' be a Yankee, right? Or he'd be settin' up office in the Alamo!) will just play the cards he's got up his sleeves (bases loaded with personnel, planes, tanks and artillery...

    What stain, etc do you like most on your stocks when you refinish them?

    I've only used Tung Oil (Homer Formsby's brand) myself, but have had excellent results. Depending on weather and humidity, some coats can take longer to dry than others, but I have refinished the stocks on an old shotgun (Rem. model 11) and a rifle (Win. model 67A). I used low gloss on the...

    How to answer "Where do all these guns come from?"

    You might ask Mayor Bloomberg, I bet he knows! :eek: Seriously, illegal guns come from criminals, so I would say that the best place to look for that answer would be from whom? Criminals! They will no doubt tell you that "a few came from old man Meechum's house when we kicked in the back...

    Supermarket Ninja

    He probably picked them up on the streets of New York... according to Bloomberg that's where all the "illegal" guns are going these days, right? :what:

    North American Union

    Well, before this thread, too, gets hijacked and closed, Ira Aten, would you please make sure that what you spout as fact is indeed factual? Failure to do so really does nothing but turn people away from your concerns, as they don't see a valid concern when it's polluted with emotional and...

    On July 31st, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tony Blair penned a 'global warming pact' that, according to CNN is a "plan to lay the groundwork for a new trans-Atlantic market in carbon dioxide emissions." A journalist on sacbee.com wrote: "Declaring California and the United Kingdom partners in...

    NYC gets hammered by Mayor Blooming Idi..

    I've always felt that if someone was stupid enough to commit a crime with a fake gun in an attempt to fool others into believing it was a real gun, then they should get what's really coming to them (punishment or retribution just like if it was a real gun). Goes along with the old saying "Can't...
