    Fired for smoking!

    I am a new poster to the site. It is a great one. The few points I would like to make are: 1. Smoking and health problems go hand in hand. Insurance companies can and do ask about pre-existing conditions ie: diabetes, smoking, heart disease etc. because of risk. Most likely your company pays...

    Sheriff called me about my C&R

    A C&R also gets you a discount at Grafs. (Your bank account is getting smaller at an exponential rate.)

    Price reduction on Hornady LNL AP

    That is a great deal. I got my LNL-AP w/ case feeder from Grafs, just before Christmas for $422.00 w/o shipping. (this was with my C&R discount). This combo is the best. IMHO it is better than the Dillon 650 and look at the price.

    Can someone tell me why silencers are so expensive?

    The answer is suppressors have a ugly reputation in this country and such have been covered by the same NFA regulations that FA weapons have been since the 30's. In Europe suppressors are considered a polite form of shooting even in countrys that severely restrict civilian firearm ownership...

    May move to illinois - local info request

    Tiberius, I have lived just East of Libertyville for 7 years now, transferred from AZ. The gun laws and attitudes, are 180 degrees from what I was used to. Despite that my collection has grown by more than 100%, with a lot of those being EBR's. The indoor ranges in Lake Co. are pretty much...

    Reasonably Priced Bullets for .45 ACP?

    Dry Creek is fabulous. I read about them in an article by John Taffin, in American Handgunner, about 1-1/2 years ago. I have since been buying them for my .44 loads (Mag & Spcl.) John raved about them, I ordered some, and have been hooked since. Give your business to a small guy with an...

    Footage of 3-year-old with handgun on Today show

    How is this behavior defensible? It isn't. The fact that they got caught on tape is immaterial. If I decide I want to masturbate on my front porch, maybe I should live someplace where the neighbors can't see. These people did a stupid thing: drinking and shooting, and leaving their kid...

    Footage of 3-year-old with handgun on Today show

    Come on. We all know the only reason this made the news is that it involved a child and a gun. This is red meat for the media. It never would have been aired if it was a video of child riding a bike without a helmet. Regardless; 1. Shooting and drinking do not mix. 2. Gun Safety Rule #1...
