up up.

I will go out on the limb here and say that 99% of people posting here have never actually shot someone with their .45. This includes myself, and I hope it stays that way. So the minute differences in expansion and velocity between certain defense rounds might just be a lot of techie talk. So...

One thing to keep in mind also is that while firearms are serious business, one can have fun shooting - yes? It sounds like she has a lot of negative feelings to firearms based on what you said here, so try to make it upbeat. Before we got married, I took my wife out shooting. Some in her...

Only concern I can remotely think of is handling certain rifle rounds rough and pushing the bullet in further down the casing...

One thing about a gun case versus a RSC or real safe, it isn't going to protect you. Anyone in the world of casing your place and wishing to break in and steal would probably not be hindered by a simple locked cabinet.

+100 for Ron Paul.

What air rifles .177 pellets are the best? I would like to have one to "up" my dry runs practices a little and perhaps put a hole in paper. A good trigger is something I would look for.

Everything I have read about Hoppes says not to do this. Once the impurities hit it, it's powers degrade. Reusing the fluid does not have the same effectiveness. Plus I think personally, one would be just transferring dirt around. I don't need to use a lot of Hoppes by the way. Don't see a...

Line of the week...

LOL... well I did say a "little" difference. Thanks for posting that - makes for a good laugh.

Hmm... Let's see, for an example: I see very little difference between Rudy Guiliani and Hillary Clinton.

It says he is "suspended for voting fraud". ummmm....

I think this thread is drifting. It's not a "in defense of the NRA", but perhaps addressing the reasons why some feel against the NRA on the forums - and perhaps maybe how the NRA could change that... ...or perhaps I need to wipe my eyes and blink a few times.

I found your post a little incoherent, as I am not sure what you are trying to say at perhaps a larger argument. However I will add here that yes, people commit suicides with firearms. However they also jump off bridges, OD on drugs, slice their arteries, hang themselves, etc. So eliminating...

Adding to this with another +1. One should not be in a heightend alert, even yellow, all the time. It is simply not healthy. Being scared of being relaxed enough to be in a "condition white" might indicate some issue that should be examined. The best place is at home, but there are cases...
