    Well, Amlivin, at close range, I can't miss! The flint ignition may fail!

    A Blunderbuss

    A blunderbuss is an un-choked big bore shotgun meant for close range & questionable target bracketing. They fulfilled that role or they wouldn't have been so popular or made for centuries. They were even used to some degree in Washington's army of rebels. For close quarters on horseback or from...

    New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

    I'm originally from AL, so my 2nd language is also English! 1st is Alabamese. LOL1 I live in Dutch territory & have a business in French territory. All my associates decided it was easier to learn English that try to interpret my versions of Dutch & French. LOL!! Bon chance.

    Think you have problems. I live on a small Carib island that is half French & half Dutch. Guns verboden on the Dutch side & my favourite place to shoot is less than 100 m from the French airport runway. LOL! Luckily, the gendarmes go in the opposite direction from gunfire! LOL!!

    A Blunderbuss

    I have 2 orig. flint brass/bronze barreled busses. I take friends out several time a year to shoot them. I use 120-140 grs of FFG and 18 - .31 balls in the Dutch naval gun & 12 - .31 balls in the Eng. coach gun. They kick! Keep your palm over the barrel if shooting from the hip instead of just...

    Hey girl. I'm originally from Anniston,Al. I'm 67 & lived in the Caribbean basin for 42 yrs, so don't try to seduce me! I haven't experimented with all the newer calibers, but, just remember that on the 8th day, God created 9 m/m. Easier ammo to get & will do what you want to get done. I...

    Brit. attacks U.S. Constitution!

    Jan.16th, CNN's paid British commentator attacked 2 pro-gun women on the gun issue. Usual tactics where the commentator uses the old monologue strategy & walks all over anything their invited guests TRY to say. I have sent CNN 2 letters about this. I pointed out that approx. 23,000 Americans...

    What is really going on here?

    Hurricane, good point. I was born in the States but haven't lived there for 41 yrs.. I can't understand why the people seem to be going crazy? maybe the countries that ban U.S. foods because of steroids etc. are right. Every country I have lived in(quite a few), the citizens have guns whether...

    The BATF Paid Me A Visit Yesterday

    Right, bureaucrats are like a septic tank, the big chunks just naturally rise to the top. Is that what you are referring to.

    from the outside looking in

    This is true for cartridge guns. I shoot mostly blk.pdr. on the French side & belong to the gun club there. France is a republic & much more reasonable if non-military calibers. The dutch side has licensing and is in the process of making it easier to get a license. This brings up an...

    from the outside looking in

    I am a U.S. citizen but haven't lived there for 41 years. It appears to me, that you media such as CNN are the enemy of gun owners. Appears to me that it would be more effective if you could change their attitude than Congress's. They are brainwashing the population. They mock NRA reps or "walk...

    Can an AWB pass the US Senate

    Presidents declare wars without the consent of congress! Maybe I'm the only one who considers throwing away 10's of thousands of lives without Congressional approval a major transgression of power?

    Can an AWB pass the US Senate

    Have you considered the idea that the gun hysteria is to smoke screen economic collapse rather than the other way around? Why do you gun enthusiasts ignore the propaganda term, "assault weapon", when it should be called a, "defense weapon"? The radical media won that propaganda action without...

    Can an AWB pass the US Senate

    Now I hear talk of compromise. That is another word for surrender.
