    Hunting Out of the Country - Traveling with a Rifle

    If anybody has any input, I would appreciate it. I'm going on a hunt in Argentina. Travel is through Continental Airlines. We're flying direct from Houston to Buenos Aires, but on the return, we couldn't get a direct flight, and we're having to connect in Canada. Any ideas about the rules...

    So much for customer service.........

    42% discount seems more than fair to me. Average joe doesn't get the same consideration. Especially since it was a trade in.

    Makarov upgrades?

    I like the Makawrap grips too. Nice and thin. I like them better than the Pearce grips.

    Bill Richardson D-NM Gov, gets CCW

    While Bill may have presidential aspirations of his own, I think if he runs, in the end he may end up as someone's running mate. He's got the Clinton method of triangulation down, though. He's been doing it for a while. Very cagey on the immigration issue. On the line-item veto - it's a...

    Open letter to the THR community...

    I'm sick of "Americans" crying about assimilation. Just because you don't have the patience for them to complete their journey from immigrant (illegal or otherwise) to American (which can take two to three generations) doesn't mean they're not assimilating.

    Is the "Elite" Kahr worth the cost?

    I have a K9, and I think the trigger is pretty good as is. I haven't handled an Elite model to know the difference. Sorry. I guess I'm no help at all.

    Opinions Please: Bianchi 100 Professional

    Anybody have any experiences, good or bad with this model holster? I've got a "good" holster on order, but I'm thinking about getting a Bianchi 100 for the times when I'm in a hurry, and to hold me over until my holster on order can get done. Any opinions are much appreciated.

    Bush to focus on illegal immigration
