    Things I can't prove, but believe...

    - Any caliber will do the job if you shoot him in the chest, even a .22 - Honest men lie about their shooting accuracy and the fuel economy of their diesel trucks - Lots of guys hate some guns simply because they can't afford them - Grammar nazis are generally disliked but they perform...

    What's your "never buy" gun?

    It's hard to go through this thread and not find something that you own. I have a S&W M&P that never fails me and I would trust my life to it. People hate it. I have a Ruger LCP that I just found ammo for and will shoot tonight for the first time. People hate it. I have a mosin nagant that...

    Need feedback on Ammunition aggregation site

    Very well done, I just discovered this thread and bookmarked your site. I even clicked on a google ad in appreciation. :)

    Drivel from an anti-rights co-worker

    Most of my friends are liberal. Heck, I'm a little liberal on topics that don't include guns or fiscal discipline (nobody has that lately). This guy was extreme and illogical. I think a much more common view among liberals would be something like, "I don't mind *you* having guns. I just wish...

    Why Children Need Make Believe Violence

    My son is 6 and my neighborhood is filled with boys. Rest assured, kids still play with guns. Heck, I have a 12 year old neighbor that dresses as a confederate soldier and carries a wooden rifle nearly every weekend.

    Has your fear of a ban subsided since National park carry passed?

    Certain issues, even though the politicians might believe in them, are political losers. Republicans didn't do anything about abortion in the last 8 years because they don't want to deal with the fallout. I predict republicans will stop all the gay bashing too. Democrats are not touching guns...

    The principle or dilemma of "Counterproductive Over-Investment" in defensive arms

    I'm innocent. I guess I wouldn't want my rifle's stolen but at $500 combined it's not as if my family would never recover. I have about $800 in hand guns but they are for self defense. One stays locked in a safe (which could be stolen) and the other stays closer to me. If I had to replace by...

    What would make a good "shop" gun?

    Agreed, or maybe an LCP. If you carry a lot of heavy things I'd put it in your back pocket in a wallet holster.

    Help turn a pansy lib into a gun nut!

    I just ran across this thread. You are me! Well, I'm more independent than liberal but I've been voting against republicans lately. I started shooting about 8 months ago and went through the same process. Here are a few thoughts in no particular order. 1) Darn it's expensive out there. I...

    Are friends nagging you to sell them your guns?

    You should sell me your AR, I'll give you $150. :D

    Just how much have the 'libs' done to encourage gun ownership in this country?

    It doesn't take a lot of research to figure out that spending under "conservative" presidents has been a lot higher than it's been under the only democratic president in the last 28 years. The term doesn't mean much to me. As for liberals driving gun buying, I hope so. I took two new...

    What happens if you shoot a bed sheet?

    I don't see it as possible but to me, it's fun to entertain the thought. The key is the mounting, like a clothesline. Even a pro pitcher can't throw a baseball through a well mounted sheet because of the way it gives and wraps around the ball. Obviously holding a sheet up against your chest...

    What happens if you shoot a bed sheet?

    I have this friend that I go camping with and he always brings these unbelievable "campfire facts" that he has full faith in. I, being the computer nerd that I am, go home and research them to see how he does. For example: W is sometimes a vowel - true Mountain Dew is the highest selling...

    Amazing bullet performance?

    OSB is organic. Is it possible that their claim in untrue?

    first rifle recommendations for a noob

    Wow, you're me from 6 months ago, new to shooting and wanting a rifle. I was also attracted to the mosin nagant but I was talked out of it by forums like this one because they said the considerable kick would cause a noob to develop bad habits. This is a thread I created on the topic...
