Around here (Ohio), .270 and 7mm Rem Mag were sitting on a lot of retail shelves throughout the panic. 30.06 was somewhat less available, but could be found. All handgun ammo was scarce (none at retail stores, available but at nasty prices at gun stores). Shotgun ammo was available if you...

I worked for Target for several years not long ago, and this comes as no surprise to me. Target sees itself as "Mommy's" retail store (as opposed to Wal-Mart, which Target sees as "Daddy's" retail store). Everything they do is geared toward their core shoppers, which is 20-something and...

SilentStalker: I understand your dispair. But understand that we have come a long way in many areas. Concealed-carry has swept the nation. Black rifles are now normal and don't make most people uncomfortable (there was a time that even most gun owners didn't feel 'quite right' about them)...

Exactly right. Step One: Establish the data through the CDC. Step Two: PR campaign to convince people that firearms pose an increased health risk, based on the data from step one. Step Three: Additional costs for the "privilege" of owning firearms. These will be in the form of...

We've been winning it for a long time now. What you're having a hard time accepting is that the fight never ends. I'd rather not have to pay attention to these things either, but that is not an option. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

I said that. What is important is that they are taking tangible steps toward that end.

Link to Aticle - Wayne LaPierre: Junk Science Drives Administration's Gun Policies LaPierre's monthly NRA magazine article was very important. He described the most recent anti-gun executive orders signed by President Obama, including an order to (in violation of Federal law) begin the...

I'd say the CM9 and the AR-15 should be next on your list. You definitely need the carry gun. After that, the AR-15 because... well, just because!

I'll second the Python:

Weird that this thread came up again, I was just shooting this load this past weekend. The CCI SRM Primers + 25 gr RL-15 + 55 gr FMJ-BT load is a functioning plinking load with no signs of pressure. It's also very clean (I think the magnum primers burn up more of the powder, leaving a pretty...

John Moses!

A poster on another board asked a very similar question a few months ago, and copy/pasted below is my response. (Very slightly edited and highlighted in bold in some relevant spots) I am not a psychologist, but I do teach Psychology, and I know a little bit about dreaming and subconscious...

I'd finish that AR, especially since you say you can't get ahold of any .22lr. I've got way too many guns laying around that I consider "almost done". Darn near every gun I own is still missing a holster or a light or a sight or ammo or magazines or something that I have put off getting for...

I thought of something else that should scare the crap out of you (:banghead:) Many people have mentioned the irresponsibility of having a gun stolen and not reporting because "someone" may be victimized with that gun. But think about it... If she did give your gun to a less-than-savory...

The only lesson this young woman has learned is that you will give her the benefit of the doubt when she does not deserve it. She has learned that she can play you. I won't be the least bit surprised if the next thread you start is about your entire collection being wiped out while you were...
