I worked a Christmas at UPS. It's an eye opening experiance, to say the least. I've been trying to get back in there ever since. It was a sweet job. If they let me back in long enough to get seniority, they'll promptly be told to pound sand any time they remotely try to mess with me...

If you think punching bottons on a Diebold is the way to get things done, you're gonna be in for a surprise. Electronic voting is one of the scariest things out there. Since nobody knows the source code and they aren't talking, they can program the machines to slant any election any way they...

In case anybody in the area is interested, there is a monthly milsurp shoot at the Highland Pistol and Rifle Club, just south of Highland, IL. I've been going since April of '06 and it's a great bunch of guys who regularly show up. Hope to see you there at the next one becuase we'd like to see...

The whole notion of a permit to carry is repulsive to me. A permit means permission. Asking for permission means they have the right to deny that privilege and it also means you don't have a right to excercise whatever you're applying to do. Then there's the whole issue of taxing you before...

Well, supposedly, it;s illegal to bring a gun into a school. History has shown time and agian how well that one has worked. If a law is junk and it doesn't work, it shouldn't be kept around. You can tell me all day long I can't take a gun into court, but for the guy who goes in to shoot the...

Does anybody shoot at the Jay Henges range in STL County? How do you like it? How are the facilities? The ROs aren't Nazi jerks are they? I might go there in a couple of weeks and I'd like to get some info on how it is beforehand. Thanks.

I'd be satisfied to find a nice Mosin 91/30 and an M44 for under $100 each. A Turk Mauser would also be nice and so would an Enfield No. 4 Mk 1. Another Yugo SKS or a Yugo Mauser for reasonable would be good too. I've got a list as long as my arm and anything I can cross off would be good. I...

bump. Nobody's going? Does that man it's a crappy show?

For anyone in the area, the Missouri Arms Collector's Association is hosting a gun show is weekend the 10th through the 12th. It's at 1401 S. 5th St. Anybody going? I'm planning on going across the river on Saturday and then again on Sunday to pick anything up I buy. Anybody been to this...

There's probably alot you don't know about Illinois gun statutes. Look up local laws, you'll really go :banghead: The FOID's been around since about 1968 or so. It's only $5 to apply for one so it isn't too much of a financial burden. I think it's good for four years. Basically it states...

I'll be the first to admit there's alot of hipocracy in this issue being how the up north types including Governor "Kennedy" generally hate guns but they somehow let this one go past. Something like this would really put alot of money into the economies around the area. I think that's the only...

Any stores in St. Louis sell military surplus rifles for good prices? I've heard that Mike's Guns in a good place but do they carry any milsurps for reasonable prices? What kind fo stuff do they usually carry? SKS, Mosin, Enfield, Mauser, etc. I'm usually around there to go to the August...

Anybody else keeping up on the World Shooting Complex in Sparta, IL? It looks like it's gonna be quite a facility, to say the least. There's gonna be a 3.5 mile long trap line. How cool is that? I emailed them and they also said there's gonna be 50/100 meter (they said meter) long...

btt. Any other opinions? I'm thinking of going up there tomorrow just to see for myself how it is.

Costco sells milsurps? I'd get a membership if they did. I'm planning on going to Jacksonville on Monday and spending the night up there if I buy anything. It's very possible all they have is junk but I'm hoping for a gem. Never know if you don't go.
