    Took some "extremely left wing" friends to the gunrange today. . .

    I often take fairly extremely left wing friends to the range. We get along nicely because I am as well. :-)

    Run on ammunition:

    Then as I'm typing the above reply, at 52 cents per round price pops up. This will sell out but I suspect that this will be back in a week probably without selling out...

    Run on ammunition:

    If you check 'gunbot.net', you'll see the in stock lists and price per rounds. I've been watching the prices on 9mm, and what you see is that the price per round will be ... say 92 cents for the places in stock, then you'll see a couple of places at 80 cents, then they sell out. A week...

    The realities of high cost of ammo

    Can we start recycling these threads?

    Very interesting article on Cracked.com

    A couple of things that I found really spot on. First, I did laugh at the lampooning of the Bushmaster 'man card'. Advertising veers in pretty odd directions, like the notion that one might take on the burglar at 500 yards. I have to admit that I want the poster that says "You're probably...

    Is every male in Mid East Deaf

    If we're looking to help, can we also send them sights for their rifles? Every video I see it seems like none of their sights work and they've just given up on trying...

    Dash Cam video showing danger after bad guy is hit

    Although I did flinch a little after the second officer arrived and while approaching the man, the original officer brushes right in front of the others gun. I know, lots of adrenaline so I'm not complaining, but it is also a reminder that you can be pretty flustered for a while after the...

    What gun would you give Bond?

    I've got a strong Walther bias going so I'll have to go with the PPS, but I'll assume that the appropriate modifications have been made to the trigger to make it Bond level (I am not quite sure it is that out of the box). Still, the PPK remains a sexy gun in the way that neither the PPQ (a gun...

    Guns and Ammo rank the top 38 states for Gun owners

    I'm going not preach to the choir on this. AZ gets the highest ranking because of no permitting requirements for concealed or open carry. I'm a GA resident with a CCW license that was actually a bit appalled that I had to demonstrate no proficiency with my weapon to receive my permit. On...

    This Again?

    Lead is a toxin. That's a fact. There are ways of dealing with this at ranges via proper design and mitigation and there are lead free cartridges but lead ain't good for you or anyone else. It sucks but that's the reality.

    On a lighter note - Archer....

    So, there's this TV series... It is animated. And it is hilarious. And can I note, that for once, the series actually acknowledges that shooting is freaking loud and in the right (wrong) circumstances, your ears might be ringing for a long time.... I find it funny how infrequently...

    Any runners on the forum? SD tools while running.

    As a runner that has to deal with GA summers, I'll say that I'm not carrying a darned thing. I'm going to assume that the types of things that i'm likely to encounter are, for the period that I'm running, manageable. Sometimes in life, you've gotta balance your risks and benefits. I'm...

    I am a Democrat for RKBA

    One of the things that I appreciate about THR (and yes, I appreciated it for a year before actually signing up...), is the general attempt to make room for people from a wide range of the population that all have interest in firearms. I have very similar feelings as the OP, 2A issues are...
