Thank you for the replies. The house I am buying isn't in a flood plain and did not flood with this last spate with the hurricane left overs but I didn't think about a burst pipe. The house being a quad level has two levels under grade so maybe that higher level would be a better choice of a...

Ok now I am about to be a first time home owner (closing date is October 28th 2008) and I was wondering if I was remembering everything I need to. First question is about a gun safe. I was planning on getting one of those 30 minute fire safes that will hold like 15 long guns, papers etc...My...

In Michigan any gun under 30 inches long is considered a pistol and subject to the same rules as pistols. Also required to take them in for the safety check (registration). Well I guess we shouldn't mention the safety check anymore since its going away soon and we will only have registration...

Now someone that has actually been in a real firefight might correct me but it didn't look like he was making use of any of the cover or concealment. He moves and seems to know where the targets are. How would these tactics help when the paper starts shooting back? Ok maybe this is more...

I thought I was going to state the obvious with a small change to the comment but Thank you MTMilitiaman... "This is a .357 magnum one of the most powerful handguns in the world. It could blow your head clean off. So tell me punk was that 5 shots or 6 I fired...do you feel lucky...

Well I I guess I should have stated that I am an honest person and would not do such thing. In my youth I might have thought of it but at the age I am now I find honesty is the best policy and the easiest way to keep your story straight. I am just glad I don't live someplace that it might be...

I was just restating what a cop in Illinois told me. Its based on the silly laws of self defense in that state. The fact that you cannot defend yourself with the best tools available until you know what your up against even if your attacked in your home in the dark of night. Its like saying...

As for what the DA said (I think it was the DA) about not shooting someone without lethal threat. Thats the way some states are. I was told by a cop in Illinois if you have an intruder and have to shoot him because they came at you and when you turn on the lights they didn't happen to have a...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_P90 Wiki has an exploded view of all the components but its not in great detail. I could have swore there were more pictures but its been a while since I went there. The part that the picture calls the trigger group also had been called the hammer group...in...

Here in Michigan the private range I volunteer at as a Safety Officer has had many groups and such come out. I have only been there a few times, the kids are young but we have either the person in charge of the safety for the range or one of us RSO's there along with the member of the club that...

Michigan Militia never went away http://www.michiganmilitia.com/ I just with they held events closer to where I live. They get it, here is a quote from the home page "Because a well-armed citizenry is the best Homeland Security, and can better deter crime, invasion, terrorism, or tyranny...The...

Quote Sometimes when folks have their own particular hammer, everything in the world looks like a nail. Gun owners often have this problem as well. The martial arts I was trained with was mostly open hand fighting with few strikes. This is the form I am most comfortable fighting with...

Is this like "test subject needed for scientific experiment" type job? That would suck! 100,000 in benefits most likely wouldn't cover medical and accidental death, probably need 1 million (might be OSHA req if this is a paid job) due to the danger involved. Thats what they require for tower...

I was going to point out the number of video games that deal with tyrannical oppression by an overpowered government. Video games unlike Hollywood have not been oppressed. Lets see any of the WW1 or WW2 re-enactment games, are real life oppression. If you like the sci-fi versions there are...

So at the local range where I am a member and I also volunteer as an RSO (Certified NRA Range Safety Officer) I get there and was told it was actually a slow day. So I got some guns ready for my 3 hour shift since there were only a few people there and not really needing direct supervision. It...
