    Daily news reporter fires a AR 15 gave him PTSD.

    Put me in mind of some Tula 7.62X39 ammo I had a few years back. The Russians must have put extra cow manure in that lot, boy howdy did it ever stink!

    where do you keep your shotgun at night?

    Most of them in the gun safe out in my "mancave" workshop steel building. A couple in the closet here in the house (Ted Williams semi-auto 20 gauge, Remington 870). Beater single-shot 12 gauge in the beater Blazer. One underneath the bed (bubba-ed 20 gauge pump: Old Hi-Standard).

    Very similar to your routine, riceboy72. No kiddos at home, though, and a single-story house. Oh, and being out in the desert I usually water lawn, gardens, and trees at night so I turn off the sprinklers.

    Hi jmorris: Not thread-hijack, but what is your vehicle and what kind of rig is that?

    Do you bring a long gun when you travel?

    Not when I fly, which is rarely. Road trips, one or more .22s and maybe a beater single shot 12 gauge or even my beater .410 bolt action. I'm with the "you never know when you'll get an opportunity to do some plinking" crowd here :)

    Anger and guns

    Sentry, lock up that gun and keep it away from "cuz" at all costs. Get you a cell phone with 911 on speed dial, and carry a can of Fox OC spray at all times. Get a TV for your room and a solid door, avoid interaction with cuz. You've only got a few months until you can get outta there. As...

    Does your state close wildlife management areas to the general public

    Don't know about other places, but in Texas we... I hunt at two WMAs in Trans-Pecos region of west Texas, Elephant Mountain and Black Gap. Both are closed to non-hunters during the season. Big Bend Ranch is both a public hunting area and state park, and remains open during the season...

    44 Special ccw velocity?

    I have a Charter SS Bulldog that is a "truck gun". I load a Federal 200 grain lead SWC-HP for defense and some kind of 200 grain RNFP (Ultramax were the last ones I bought) for practice.

    Cimarron Thunderball .45LC

    I have a Thunderer in .45 Colt, 5-1/2 in. bbl, high polish nickel finish. The action is smooth as it can be. The only problem is recoil does funny things on account of the birdhead grips. I started out with using the same load I like in my Ruger, 255 grain Win Super-X but I dropped down to a 200...

    Looking for some info on 2 kina of obscure guns

    Davis .32 ACP derringer I have one that I bought circa 1985 at a Houston gunshow. I'm pretty sure I paid about $50 for it. Still have the original box and "instruction booklet". I don't recollect the last time I fired it. It's a real little beauty :D Shiny chrome plated and wood grips that...
