What's the diameter of a soda can?

There will be an auction this weekend in Fredericksburg Texas Saturday and Sunday. 2 of Pancho Villa's guns and guns owned by several outlaws and famous lawmen will be up for sale. Not that I have the money for that game, but what would a gun owned by Pancho Villa go for...

Always do the right thing and let the law worry about itself.

As the single guy in the dating scene, I carry, and I casually drop a reference on to that fact on the first date. The first date is a lot like an interview. The reaction to that casual reference tells you something about the girl. It often leads to at least a little more conversation on the...

I once carried a 400 year old sword on my belt to a renaissance day in Jr. High. It was my dad's idea. This was way back in the early '90s. I also remember finding shotgun shells in my coat pocket one Monday after hunting that weekend. Now, you can't even smoke in a bar? The world has...

Wow. I just realized I buggered the poll up and I can't change it now. It was supposed to read "Would you switch to copper?" Anyways, if you read the post, you get the idea.

Do you know anyone that lives off campus that might store them for you? Of course, make sure it is secure, they are responsible, etc. Just as a precaution, invest in some good trigerlocks - the type that take a real key. When I was in the military, I rented a storage room for about $25/mo...

Good thread from two weeks ago http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=294855&highlight=kel-tec

If you notice the date, this sale is over. However, Academy was selling for $2.99 a box on Satuday. They had enough that I can imagine the price will stay even after the sale is over.

Just to clarify...I'm not saying the cost of copper would fall, but the cost of copper ammo would fall if it was more common.

I got this idea from another thread, but I didn't want to hijack it... Whether it be an indoor range, concearns over condors, or whatever, why NOT swith to copper? A lot of people will rush to defend lead as safe, but we haven't regretted not using it in paint anymore and lead paint is only...

Save your money on those expensive racks. All you need is a 3/8" dowel rod and some 1/4 or 1/2 scrap wood. Drill holes in the wood and insert dowel rods. Set it up to hold the guns in a position like Gixerman's rack. You need one rod about 1" high and the other about 4" high and 3" back, but...

Surely more of you than this have an opinion?

I had to watch that a few times. You can see it hit the ground in front of him just before it hits his earmuffs. That was some crazy ****. I don't know what else to say.

Something like 80-90% of people in prison were either on drugs or trying to get money for drugs. Those are the ones that are looking for quick money and don't plan a lot. Think about it, with a gun (or without) and an hour's planning I could think up a lot better places to rob than a...
