About a year ago, I was driving a friend's truck back Florida for him. I was on some deserted road in the middle of nowhere in Georgia, somewhere south of I-20. There was no one else on the road, and I was just driving along. When I saw the sheriff's car coming over the hill in front of me, I...

Well said, Rich. The way I see it, having more gun boards available on the Web just means more opportunities for new gun owners to find good information. As a fairly recent "convert" myself (before 3 years ago, I had never fired anything more powerful than a Red Ryder BB gun; I was never...

Anybody seen Cowboy Bebop? It's set a couple hundred years in the future. Spike, one of the main characters, is an interplanetary bounty hunter. In one of the recent shows, I saw a close up of his gun. It was a H&K USP. Keep in mind that the 1911 has been around for almost a hundred...

Not many guns have loaded chamber indicators. I don't trust the ones that do anyway. The only way to know for sure, in my opinion, is to open the action up and take a look. And the part about the Glock being "always semicocked" doesn't even make sense. As the trigger travels to the rear...

The town I live in is infested with fratboys. When I'm carrying, and they start to give me a hard time (which is a pretty common occurrence with these neanderthals), I just smile and walk away. When I'm not carrying, I occasionally give them a hard time right back.

No, that hunt almost went terribly right. I would have liked it a lot better if that sport hunter had gotten his arm ripped off before the other 5 killed the lion.

Thanks for all the responses. I should make myself a little more clear, I think. What I'm looking for, primarily, is something to keep my hands warm, as I've never felt the need to cushion my hands while shooting and, when possible, prefer to shoot barehanded. I want some nice looking black...

It's starting to get a little chilly out around here at night, so I want to get some gloves. I went to a couple of stores and tried some on, but they were so big and bulky that I can imagine myself not being able to get my finger on the trigger of my carry gun, should the need arise. It...

Am I the only one who would grab my AK, head for the street, and start randomly firing in all directions?

Ok. I give. What's the deal with orange hats? I haven't heard of this before.

Not trying to justify the slave trade, but the slaves were bought in Africa by the European slave traders, not captured. So it's not fair to characterize it as "kidnapping", since the Europeans were only buying slaves that were already being captured and sold. You do know that slavery is...

Maybe someone should still write, so they can correct their information. Even though it's just about a game, a lot of people will end up with the wrong idea about this, and probably a lot of other things. Maybe someone should just send an e-mail and point them to this site as an information...

Try Franklin's of Athens. Great selection, and they will order anything you like, if you can't find just the one you're looking for. The staff is very knowledgeable, but if you do manage to stump one of them, they don't just make something up...they go ask someone else, which I think is the...

I'm sitting around in my boxer shorts now, so it's on the desk in front of me, in its Galco IWB holster. When I put on pants, it goes on my person and stays there till I either take off my pants, or I have to go in someplace where I'm not allowed to carry (post office, restaurant that serves...

I'm looking into opening a business with a friend, and one of the cities we've started to look at is Columbus, OH. However, when I look at packing.org, it appears that Ohio has pretty crummy laws when it comes to my right to defend myself. Can you guys give me the skinny on Ohio, please...
