Did anyone read the article at all? Neither the written article nor the video commentary make any mention of banning all firearms. The only thing that even mentions weapons is that independent militias still control territory in Tripoli and are not a part of the state government. People are...

I vaguely remember an instance of this happening in my hometown. An employee at a WalMart retrieved his firearm from his vehicle to come to the aid of a female employee being assaulted by her boyfriend in the parking lot. The male employee shot the female employee's boyfriend. If I recall...

Thanks for the offer ArmySniper, but I think I'll just let them stay open until I get around to mounting a better set of sights on it. And thank you all for the advice.

Thanks M1Key. I wasn't too worried seeing as how the entire right side of the bolt is exposed through the ejection port. I just didn't know if some bubba prior owner had mucked up the receiver before I got ahold of it. The holes don't bother me and I'll probably remount a scope or throw on...

Hello All, I recently purchased an old used Marlin 336 from a pawn shop. It had a cheap Tasco scope mounted on it that I didn't intend to use so I removed the scope. When I removed the scope mount, I noticed that three of the four tapped holes for the screws go all the way through the...

This seems more tongue in cheek I don't know if anyone else thought this, but this guy's editorial doesn't flow in the typical anti pattern. The references to never leaving his home and hiring ex-blackwater seem to indicate a desire for him to convey humor. Most of the anti fear mongering...

Without delving too far into developmental psychology, it is less a matter of number but more of maturity. The run and tell an adult thought process about guns is valid until the child has the ability to correctly articulate ideas about firearms beyond parroting what you say back at you. The...

Just recently bought a handgun after being pistol-less for the last few years and had done my homework. I'm on a bit of a shoestring budget and was looking for a fullsize 9mm with high cap mags between $250 and $350. When I went to one of my local gunshops I told the salesman exactly that and...

Pish posh and hog wash Everyone knows that guns were invented because man had a need to compensate.... compensate for their inability to throw metal at the speed of sound... It's also the reason man invented the howitzer.

I thought the belt buckle was noon?

Trying to keep this on track, PT1911 has the right idea. You have to treat it like any other sterile zone and think outside the box, fist load, ball point pen, belt buckle, heck, just charge down the aisle like a linebacker and hope you can force a bottleneck. As far as when to act, I think it...

You know, at first I thought this was going to be a thread about getting hit on by the older more seasoned ladies at the range But seriously, I stopped for a panther roadkill on the side of a two lane highway in northern florida and when I called fish and game while standing over the body, they...

I had a buddy in college that upon finding out I kept a handgun in my apartment stated, "I don't think I could ever shoot somebody, that's why I keep a dagger on my nightstand." I couldn't believe he actually said it, or that somehow in his logic, he was less squeamish about the up close and...

I can't drop the class now because registration has closed for the term. Even if they were open, this is the only section being taught. It's more than just a class time thing, the semester is based upon reviewing and making recommendations upon an anti-crime policy in an attempt to rectify my...

As far as the source of illegal guns I've got a peer reviewed essay on the matter that if the mods will leave this thread open long enough, I can transpose the information tonight after class. That little bit is rather interesting.
