"Before even greeting the officer, tell him or her you have a legal firearm and ask what the officer wants you to do. Of course this begs the question, 'what is the gun doing on the dash?' " Before I learned to drive, as opposed to merely operate a vehicle, I'd get stopped maybe once a...

Chuck R. said (Post #6): "I have 80 acres in a 1/4 wide, 1/2 mile long layout. My rifle range goes out to 760yds, basically because I own a small valley and shoot from a hill into a hill..." You want to adopt me? I'm clean, neat, quiet, can wash dishes, feed livestock, can do rudimentary...

I dislike Kydex holsters, too. Need a fork lift to get the gun out. Colorado's a technically open carry State but as noted before, that don't mean diddlysquat nohow around the urban areas. I'm reminded of the old joke about the 911 operator getting a hysterical call about a man walking down...

Oh, boy. Do I see another January 6th incident? My crystal ball is cloudy on that one. For the full, unbiased, no-adjectives, no BS description of the January 6th event, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack

By the way, April 19th is coming up. Wasn't that the day, in 1775, a bunch of poorly armed, underfed, undisciplined Colonist militiamen trounced the hell out of the well-armed, well-trained, well disciplined, well-fed regular army British soldiers? Can someone cast doubt and negative...

Never let the truth go unchallenged. Induce doubt, however slight, to add to the turmoil. Terry, 230RN

Reply / Post # 31: I'll let that stand on its own merits. Terry, 230RN

Really? How so? Would you suggest a revamping / frevision of that original language? Terry, 230RN

Yes, but what they believe is strongly influenced by unending repetition. Guns is bad, guns is bad, guns is bad, guns is bad... "...directly contradicting the common claim today that military-type weapons were never meant to be protected by the Constitution." That phenomenon was more-or-less...

But that premise of changing history does not recognize that human nature does not change. There will always be people who are, lacking a better concept, "bossy." Usually their "bossiness," is justified in their own minds as "for your own good" in one form or another, from, mildly, "eat your...

Amen.

I never had a safe. I've got a couple of lockable handgun cases, though. I've got a Model 10 in pristine condition that I don't want to subjecft to wear and tear afield... and besides, if I want to carry something that physically big, it will be a .357. There were some guns I kept around with...

Back when I was 78-ish yo, and before a background check was required for a transfer between identical twin sisters who were nuns, I transferred most of my guns to my offal offspring. I'm in a pretty secure (for now) area, so I'm content with some handguns squirreled around the place, a 12 ga...

Choke, choke, choke. It's like castrating a bull. Keep tightening the deballer and sooner or later the balls drop off and you've got a steer instead of a bull.

Alexander A., I don't know where you're coming from. Your posts seem to be consistently apologetic for the anti-gun efforts. Tell me I'm wrong. "They" are looking at the long term cumulative attrition. I don't have immediate facts available, but according to my sometimes faulty recollection...
