If any of these are signed into law, it gives me a reason not to visit the in-laws in Colorado Springs any more... ...I wish Coors would move out of Colorado as well.

I think people get WAY too obsessive about knife steel. Case in point, what are you going to do with your pocket knife that you'll notice the difference between 440C and VG-10 steel? Now, if you put down identical pocket knives featuring blades of the above mentioned, I'm taking the VG-10 if...

The absolutely most accurate revolver I have ever shot was a Smith & Wesson .460 revolver. It also has the best trigger I have ever tried. This statements include comparison to many of the "older is better" type Smith & Wessons mentioned. My brother used it to take a doe deer at 110 yards...

I have killed deer and antelope with the four you have mentioned. Any advantages or shortcomings of any of those are hypothetical, at least when out in the field. Pick whichever you like, or draw straws.

M44 Carbine or Ruger .30 Carbine revolver. I think the Ruger wins...

Thanks a lot, guys. I would like to get enough to get a 9mm Action Express project going.

.41 Action Express

I have a chance to buy a large quantity (for me, anyway) of brass from Sweden for a hard to find caliber. However, the seller says he will not be responsible for the legality of the transaction. Does anybody know if it is legal to import cartridge cases from another country? Thanks in...

Annual Deaths in the Outdoors, U.S.A. Drowning: 3,308 Accidental Shootings: 700 Hypothermia/Exposure: 700 West Nile (2004): 264 Deer-Automobile Collisions: 150 Lightning: 88 Poisonous Snakes: 10 So, for those of you who kill every poisonous snake you see to avoid being one of the...

I don't stick my hands under steamrollers or into a pile of rattlesnakes. That makes me pretty safe when either is around. However don't you think that in the interest of absolute safety, that guy walking in the street should pick up a gun and shoot the steamroller to prevent himself from being...

So, how many rattlesnakes have ever sneaked out of your nightstand and reached out to bite you while you lay asleep? One? Six? Dozens and dozens every night? How about Copperheads or Water Moccasins? My analogy was not that a real Diamondback resembles a Colt Diamondback, it was that...

Actually, if you subtract Chicago, Rockford, and East St. Louis, the rest of Illinois is great. (Speaking as a former Rockford resident). Illinois gives us Springfield Armory, Rock River Arms and Winchester Ammunition.

I have both, and I still would limit my killing of poisonous snakes to those in the immediate vicinity of the house and yard. Killing every poisonous snake one seee still doesn't protect them from those one doesn't see. If you think the only safety with poisonous snakes lies with getting rid...

Added the whole story to Post #1

/*If you haven't witnessed the speed and aggression of an irritated, angry water moccasin leave the boo hoo for the snakes opinion to yourself.*/ ...and what if we have? Can we have an opinion, same as you? How did the snake get irritated and angry in the first place? Someone hit it...
