For the price range you specified (300-400), I think your best bet is a Spectre II. The fact that you can take it apart for cleaning really is a plus imho. Also, the materials used are stainless and will last a long time if maintained properly, i.e. no baffle strikes. I have shot several...

SelfDefenz: Gun shows here are not what they used to be even 6 or 7 years ago. The Greensboro and Raleigh shows are ok at best. Once and a while you will find a gem, like the old Roadblocker 10 gauge I saw a couple months back. Other than that, everything seems to be really high. S...

I am inclined to agree with you Spartacus. However, having a Ladies' Day is not fair to the men, as Mr. Car Knocker pointed out. In his view I guess this would be "necessary discrimination"? I would rather just call it necessary in order to preserve the sport and leave it at that, but...

Errr.. Car Knocker Well I guess you are right. I guess we DID discriminate after all. Congradulations! Ya got me! I guess we discriminated against men. What I should have said is that we gave good customer service to everyone who entered our shop. However, we showed favoritism...

Some people... I swear I can't imagine what those guys in that shop use for brains. I can tell you that the range I worked at used to have a "Ladies Day" where any woman could come in and shoot at a discounted rate. They also got discounts on any ammunition they needed. We offered free...

FWIW Snopes has lost credibility as far as I am concerned. This particular link: http://www.snopes.com/politics/kerry/tides.asp ...shows that Snopes essentially took the party in question's word for it. I do not consider that the kind of exhaustive research we should expect from...

Yeah! Yeah you tell em Treylis! I might want to exercise my constitutional right to hit the crack pipe while driving my woman to the abortion doctor. I forget which amendments cover that....but I am sure it's in there somewhere. Right? (Just messin with ya, dont get your panties in...

Roscoe, I could easily make the case that Rand borrowed more from Plato than Nietzsche. Plato, like Nietsche, had similar views about the primary role of religion (that it has no role). Adoration of strength: Plato spoke of the guardians, whose souls were made of gold (see the...

Interesting thread... Roscoe said: I can think of another instance where a writer used unbelievable characters and put them in idealized situations. The writer's name is Plato. Are we then to assume that his noble posturing of Socrates nullifies any value The Republic might have...

Not buying it They can say that it is not "slanted" to the left all they want. The truth is that is simply IS slanted to the left. Am I the only one who noticed the absence of a question dealing with one's feelings about firearms? I would imagine that firearms would determine one's...

I have to agree with Selfdfenz... I would only amend this by simply saying that in my opinion FDR has had the most negative impact of any President in the 20th century. No one did more to put us on the path of socialism than that man, thus I would have to rate him as far worse than the...

Excellent! This is one of the best reads I have had in a very long time. I have to admit...I'm hooked. Can't wait till the next chapter! -Student

Thanks fellas thats just what I needed! Wow I feel special, I even got a response from Mr. Tacticality himself! Too bad you don't live around here Skunk, I need some good folks to go to the range with.....but alas I am overrun with liberals. :rolleyes: Student

The pics pertain to my paper in that I cannot assume that the reader knows anything about concealed carry. If I say "they carry it in a belly band" I need to show a picture in the appendix that shows what a belly band looks like. Another reason is to show that there are many ways to...

Hi, I am writing a paper that must give advocating/dissenting views about a citizen's right to carry a concealed weapon. In the conclusion I am allowed to give my personal opinion, but throughout the body of a paper I must be as "fair and balanced" as possible. What I need is pictures or...
