Two to the head, on prime time, pay-per view as an example of what happens when you indiscriminately cost others their hard earned resources just for kicks.:fire: Proceeds go into bounty for dead or alive capture of next virus spewing hacker.

We used to do those on a small scale out at the west side range in GW natl Forest. It's just across the line in WVA off rt 33 headed west from Harrisonburg. Rough terrain, and it's a bit of a drive, so we made a weekend of it and went camping too. Search TFL for the word MATFLCS (Mid...

Mine's black anodized. It actually would rust a bit where the coating was worn if I got sweat on it and left it out. I suspect the lack of corrosion had to do with being protected from oxygen by the soft mud. That and the good coating of gun oil it had from its cleaning when it went in...

Wouldn't have happened if it'd been holstered. I didn't even know I had it with me. At the very least, it NEVER gets tossed on the bed again.

Ya know, If I were one of the supposed Peacefull Majority of modern Muslims, I'd make darn sure things like this had a counterpoint from my point of view. Islam is being defined in the press these days by people that westerners see as a grave threat. If the great mass of Muslims in the world...

Buy Smith & Wesson pistols if you want corrosion resistance. I'm getting ready to move soon, and while packing up, I noticed I was MISSING A FIREARM! Now this ain't never happened to me before, and I REALLY don't like the feeling. I spent the next couple of days looking madly for my 6904 9mm...

If you're a REALLY good friend, sponsor yourself and him for the next available LFI courses. In fact, I'd like to go too.:D :D

Custom German or English drilling made in .12 ga/.22 LR/.50 BMG no engraving and a full Marine grade Stainless steel finish. Why? "Overkill" is an oxymoron to me. :D I weigh too much I'm German/English/American I'm a Jack of all trades to a point of fault I'm of a relatively classical...

I believe that's a "Space Modulator" :D

Unions are like most other socio-politico-economic critters in that they have good and bad traits. Sometimes, even these days, they are absolutely neccessary. OTOH, they can also be a world class PITA. Not surprisingly for a Libertarian, I'd like to see the decision made about unions on a...

Microbalrog, One last nail in the coffin of the wellfare state's logic is that having the state engage in the business of wealth redistribution has unintended consequences far more severe than the problem it was intended to solve. Giving aid to poverty stricken people is indeed very...

May I say, Welcome to Virginia. Some notes on our idiosyncratic nature: Northern Virginia and the rest of the state are not the same thing. Virginia has an ego the size of Texas's. It's just not so loudly expressed. Thomas Jefferson and Robert E. Lee are both considered near-gods...

Hey Ambidextrous, you're not the only one. If I had to choose between guns and sail boats, I think my head would explode from the effort. What are you sailing now? I've got a Hunter 37 on the Chesapeake, and I'm thinking about moving up to something I can live aboard to avoid DC area...

Forget autoloaders too. The Germans armed largely with bolt action Mausers, gave our garand/tommygun/ma deuce armed troops a good run for their money. The Afghanis kicked the Russkies out starting with flintlocks and old enfields they'd taken from the Brits. As long as it shoots...

Kudos to the author. BTW, Microbalrog, the commonality of class between "blissninny" and "leftist" extends only to such extent that the leftist expects government to solve all our problems for us. The pro-freedom aspects of the left are definitely to be appreciated.
