Saw one at Gander Mtn last week for $299, it was gone in 4 days. At a local gun shop, saw what I was told was a Type 99 trainer, with bolt cover (hard to find, usually thrown away by soldiers), rear sight didn't have "wings" for anti-aircraft, no rifling in the barrel. The mum had NOT been...

About age 3 or 4, my oldest brother taught me to shoot his Daisy Winchester 1894 in the back yard. I still remember the black eye I got from the hammer hitting under my eye. He still has that gun. I wish I had bought one when Daisy re-introduced them a year or so ago. Anyone have one they'd...

You might also try posting over at targettalk.org, in the youth program section.

I've got some vacation time coming. Maybe I'll just take a day off and drop in. Anyone want to donate to my Thompson fund?

Go the instructor route. A certified instructor should have insurance. You never know what may happen, and you personally could be on the hook for millions in the event of an accident. The school may also require a certified instructor in order to limit their own liability. Wow, a school...

Personally, I want a Winchester 94 by Daisy. This was the first "gun" I learned to shoot, at age 4, with my oldest brother. He's 62 now, and still has that BB gun.

If there are any DFAS centers near you, and you have a degree in accounting, apply for a government job in payroll. 26 days off your first year, decent pay, no layoffs, easy work, not high pressure like in the real world. I don't want to join the dark side, but I might have to. The government...

You may want to post this question at targettalk.org. They are dedicated to precision air and rimfire shooting. I've never seen this question posted before over there.

Also log onto www.targettalk.org. They have used smallbore and air guns for sale all the time.

I saw the same dates, and I believe they are correct. If I remember correctly, I read thru a Publisher's Clearinghouse or similar sweepstakes entry many years ago. It was open for over one year also. Keep the same promotion going, entice as many entries as possible, and try to get as many...

Maybe guns stores should do this: Get a roll of left-over newsprint from their local paper. Paint on it in HUGE letters "POINT GUNS HERE", and maybe put a few targets on it. Hang it on a wall as close to the ceiling as possible. Remind anyone who points anywhere else where to point. The gun...

In some locations, the officer has to buy his own handgun, in others its provided by the department. Same could go with rifles and body armor. It all depends on the local governing body, union contracts, etc. Even if it is the officer's personal rifle, they are responsible for its secure...

Somewhat along the lines of what GeneralGeoff said, How many people who were shot were the attacker vs. how many were the victim? An armed attacker getting shot is a lot different than an innocent victim getting shot.

Link is not working for me, opens then I get a windows explorer error. Can someone please post the text, or another link? Thank you

Go to your local gunshop and get a copy of the Benelli USA catalog on CD. Side 2 has 11-12 episodes of Tom Knapp and Tim Bradley trick shooting with shotguns, pistols and rifles. Fun to watch.
