I agree on using the cashback when possible, or using drive-up ATMs. For walkup ones, I try to avoid them after dark, and will go to another one if there are any cars parked nearby. Try to find one under a streetligt and within view of a public area or road, without any bushes or other...

I use Hoppes Elite, but at least I'm not the only one who misses the old #9 smell, reminded me a little of old banana nut bread.

We don't have children ourselves, but we do have loaded guns in the house, and I have one on my person most've the time. When friends with children come over, it takes less than a minute to lock a couple doors & put 3 up so that they are no longer accessible to their kids. It's also a convenient...

This might not work too well for the guys, but I carry a small backpack when I ride, with a holster built in. That way, the gun's not "on" me if I crash, and I'm not having to move anything around if I stop at a restuarant or go inside a gas station or anything.

7.62x39 or .270

No, but I'm in a job where I get to carry one of their weapons most've the time. Only place I've ever seriously considered carrying to work against policy would've broken so many laws I was scared to risk it - I was underage at the time to begin with, and it was on a college campus where it...

I've dropped a Taurus model 66 before, landed on concrete. Didn't go off, and didn't cause any damage it. I've also seen several instances of S&W model 65s being dropped onto concrete, and none of them have fired so far [I work for the Dept. of Corrections, it happens way too much].

Anyone know the name/phone number of the place with the public indoor range in/near Hickory? I thought I'd find a phone number onkline, but it was disconnected. Alternately, does anyone know of any ranges in the Hickory/Taylorsville/Lenoir area? Myself & several of the women I work with are...

SA XD-40 SA 1911A1 AR-15, Colt or Bushmaster, wanting to have it refinished like a "Barbie" rifle Ruger Mini-14 (possibly mini-30) SAR-1 (Romanian AK-47) - could do better, but cheap/reliable = realistic Of course, I'm too poort to even thing about these for now, but I plan on bying the...

Taurus Model 65, 4" barrel, currently loaded with .357mag 125grn JHPs (sometimes loaded with 38spl+P 129grn HydraShok JHPs). Main reason is because tis is the gun I shoot with the most, and my only other option would be a little .380 auto. Double tap to upper torso, follow up shot to head...

Survivor Well, well. You scored a whopping 246 points. 83%

Cool. Where can I get one in purple? :D

I'm right handed, and left eye dominant. I learned to shoot right handed, but it took me until recently to find out I shoot better left handed (because of the eye thing). My advice would be to let him shoot left handed, since a lot of people eventually practice shooting both ways, and it's...
