    What did you guys pay for your Lasix, and was it worth the money

    About 3500 for both eyes, 4 years ago. I had very bad vision and astygmatism, didn't matter - she fixed it all. Had I known going in how much better I would see, I'd have gladly paid $10k for it. Best investment I ever made.

    Interesting view from Anthony Bourdain

    I have always rather liked Bourdain, I can't stand LaPierre, I own 2 AR-15, and green chiles are the only real chiles.

    Carry Options

    I'm in the minority, but I think concealed only is the only way for civilian carry. I've harped on it before, so I'll not drag out my soap box now.

    Well I gone and done it

    My Kel-Tec P3AT is my no excuse for not carrying gun. I'd rather have my PPS .40, but sometimes in the Texas heat, that little tiny 380 is a good fall back.

    USGS estimate of lead?

    Well, as a mining geologist I have to weigh in here. I have done numerous stream sediment geo-chemical sampling jobs where we pan out and concentrate the heavy 'black sand' from stream bottoms and send them to a lab to get an idea of the minerals present in an area. We also spend a lot of time...

    Whats a good wall hanger for over the fireplace?

    I'm partial to my dads old Winchester 97 shotgun that rattles when you shake it and would go off if you thought the word trigger. It's a pretty old gal in a rough, spit in your eye kinda way.

    Federal Vital Shok question

    Is federal still making the Vital Shok ammo with the Sierra Game King bullets? All I am seeing online is Nosler partition. I'm almost out, and it's the most accurate hunting ammo I've ever shot.

    Morgan Spurlock ...

    Well, that was an hour of my life I never get back. Glad to know I don't NEED a 30 round magazine to target shoot.

    Will we ever get full autos back?

    I think there could be a real liability issue with burst or full auto fire. I can hear the attorney's now, "so did you INTEND to shoot him 3 times?" "oh so its the guns fault huh?" The anti's will ask "what next? stinger missiles for duck hunting?" (BTW, that would be AWESOME!!! "I've got...
