Artherd, She was in her home. She told the officers to leave. They were talking to her for what seemed like more than a few seconds while she had the gun in view. (from my understanding they asked her to show them her guns when she told them she had one, but that's...

Artherd, Even if she did point a gun at those "officers" she was in her own damned house! The proper action for the cops would have been to high tail it when she told them she didn't want them in there. I understand your predicament, I really do. But the fact is that a cop tackled...

Mr. Volk, First of all if I've neglected mentioning it in the past I do want you to know that I surely appreciate your work on our behalf. & I'll add that you have decent taste in rifles. :) I would suggest a re-direction. The fact is there are three types of folk - the ones...

Can, Can you find the constitutional authority for that statute's provisions? As I said a law does not trump a constitution. If the La constitution allows it then we cna talk about how the constitution is immoral & such & ought ot be disregarded, but as of now my understanding is that...

In every constitution I've seen it outlines which rights & priviliges may be suspended in an emrgency. If it's not specifically or implicitly enumerated then they cannot legally touch that right or privilige. Having a law say that they can suspend part of the constitution during an emergency...

Unlatch the trigger group then remove it. Then take a thick sock & put it in the trigger group. Pull the trigger to uncock the hammer (the sock is necessary to prevent any damage) & make sure it's lubed. That's the best way to store a Garand for long periods. The trigger guard will compress...

The CMP is easier than it may seem Have proof of marksmanship: this can be competing in a match or just having a range officer or cop say he saw you put X rounds downrange with a rifle, pistol, shotgun or air rifle. Some hunter's safety courses (where you have to shoot) as well as CCW permits...

Hey y'all. I recently acquired a rifle with a Pacific sight on it. The rifle was a real good dal, especially since the sight is missing an aparture. One of the smiths at the shop said he was pretty sure it was a "standard" thread but not positive. His guestimation was the pitch was 12: 24...

My apologies. It turns out I was wrong. To me it made more sense, & was a worse case scenario, for the ban to sunset at midnight of the day it was enacted. I assumed congress would treat such matters in such a way to give them as long a time possible to consider renewing a law that was due to...

Oleg, Thanks. I just dial my senators direct so I wouldn't have noticed it. any idea why it isn't working? That should be the same one used last March & until you mentioned it nobody has said a word about it not working. I'm wondering if they changed the number for some reason or...

After Getting A Grip, Assume The Position? that's a post I did that has links to two other posts which address the situation in much more detail. Bottom line is Kerry's shotgun would be banned under S.1431 (which he co-sponsored) in several different ways, & the transaction itself may...

It's not official. It won't be official until I have a brand new 11 rounder in my hand w/o wondering if a cop is going to try to arrest me for a felony. Do not let your guard down yet. It ain't over til Tuesday.

It does look like it will sunset on schedule.. It's even probable that it will sunset on schedule. But it's not definite. Last thing I want to complain about next week is Difi et al slipping it through & our guys cutting a deal because we started partying before the thing was laid to rest...

This piece by David T Hardy deals primarily with the Firearms Owners Protection Act, but it does make some mention (especially in the annotations) of the NFA. It's long but might prove useful.

Y'all get me names & addresses that are verified (i.e. you're sure that name is the corretc one & not someone who shares the same name as the paper's employee) & I'll publish it on my site. I've been doing a quid pro quo thing with the other papers that have done this & I'll do it as long as I'm...

I'm not for the government allowing anyone to carry on planes. I am against the government prohibiting anyone from carrying on planes. Carrying is a Right & as such the gov has no auhtority to allow or deny me or anyone else. Even those with funny sounding names who hate us & want us dead...

First of all the divide between cops & non-cops is not becase the non-cops attempt to seperate themselves form the cops. Quite the reverse; by using "citizen" &/or "civilian" cops differentiate themselves into a different class of persons. So while being called citizen shouldn't be taken...

You assume that taxes are a good & necessary thing. I assume you refer to income taxes, so if you meant all taxes in general this may not be applicable. There are more than a few people who are justly ticked off that the government forces their employers to take X% off the top prior to the...

GeneC, If you wish to argue the philosophical origins of Truth then I'll be happy to oblige. Just not here. Find a suitable forum for such a discussion & then tell me where it is & I'll jump right in. Perhaps you shoudl create a thread int he General Discussion or the...

Truth is not created; it's discovered. :cool: But trying to get things back on track.... arguments for or against are cool. Mainly I just want to know everyone's reasoning (well, not everyone - just the people who offer an opinion) on why they will or won't vote for Bush if he signs an AWB...
