    Who has contacted their Reps?

    Yep. Been there and done that.

    Obama pledges "full weight" to AWB in 2013!

    Write your Senators, write your Representatives! I spent about 30 minutes doing just that last night. Let me assure you, it is time well spent. Probably nothing else that you can do right now is more important. Encourage your family and your fellow gun owners to do the same.

    I need help

    Has the barrel crown been damaged? Have the scope rings loosened?

    Shooting Log

    I use sandbags most of the time, but every now and then I use a log. :-)

    Your funniest range story

    I guess you had to be there... but C-clamping a ram to the target stand was always good for a hoot. Also... We had a "chicken shoot" after each match. IHMSA chickens at 100 yards with a .22 rifle. $1 entry and $1 buy back. There was this friend who (I swear) could break wind on command...

    Firearms and the South

    We are not all gun owners down here. Why, I am 61 years old and during my lifetime I can remember having encountered at least two households that owned no guns. Of course, they had convicted felons in the home! :rolleyes:

    Your Best Shot Ever

    I heard a bunch of crows in the pines in my backyard. I went down to get my .17HMR from the basement, and by the time I got back to the door, they had flown away. I watched them as they circled and came back over my house. I stepped out onto the deck and shot at one flying about 75 yards away...

    Lady in OK shot intruder while on w/ dispatch

    Some of you Monday morning quarterbacks must be brainwashed by liberals. The Right to Keep and Bear Arms is all about just this sort of incident. If this citizen didn't have the right to shoot a perp, why arm ones self?

    Have you ever done something this stupid?!?

    Been there and done that. My P3AT has been in the Post Office and to schools more than once. Later in the day, I think about it and say "Oops!

    Info you've kept to yourself as you sold a gun to someone

    Back in the early days of fiberglass stocks, I traded a little Remington that I had merely reworked the wooden stock on. I had painted the stock flat black. While I was filling out the forms for the trade, I mentioned that I had done the stock work myself. The shop owner said "yeah, it's a...

    Ever Receive a Firearm For Christmas?

    Yes I have, and I treasure them, but I have also given several, and that was a much greater experience!

    Is There Ever a Time for Civil Disobedience?

    I believe that the Bill of Rights was written not as a permit to do certain things, but as a denial of the government to interfere with us doing those things.

    How did your Unintentional Discharge happen?

    Not exactly an AD, but I used to shoot .22 silhouette with a 14" Contender. For some reason I decided to use my 10" barrel one day. Shooting Creedmoor position, I pulled that 10" gun a little too far back and creased myself in the leg. Missed the pig, too. I traded that barrel off at the...
