I just want to echo what other experienced horse owners have mentioned....be very careful about shooting from horseback until you KNOW that the horse is "along for the ride". I had a great roping horse that I rode a lot of gymkhana on, and also trail rode miles and miles through coastal...

S&W 310, 2 inch. Bought it on a whim cuz I have a few .40's and thought a 10mm Auto pistol would be interesting. Hate it! Huge, Clunky. Action has more clinks, creeps, clanks than am old caterpillar. Basically takes a finger from both hands to cycle it double action. I own quite a...

Llama. Worst jam-o-matics I ever dealt with. There was no fix for the ones I had in the 80's.

They make double gun racks...so I carry both. Each has it's time and place. 12 ga is simpler with less problems with projectiles going places you didn't intend, AR gives you more reach and mag capacity. Pick the right tool for the situation.

Yes, sometimes I carry a Keltec P32, but my Glock 27 fits in the BDU pocket on my uniform trousers in a DeSantis Nemisis holster...where it is called a backup pistol. :neener:

You're going to find about 50 different definitions of provocation, self defense, lethal force, etc as each state has its own laws and case law that defines specific instances. Some are very specific, some very vague. You also have to think about laws addressing "terroristic threats"...

I used to buy fomblin for a computer mfg back in the 80's. We used it to lube rigid disk packs for storage drives. The reason we used it was that we could apply almost microscopic amounts in areas where we didn't want any contamination spinning out when the drive was in operation. In those...

I have a plain jane RIA 1911 that is very accurate and runs like a dream. no complaints at all. I bought mine ftf from a British ex-pat who wanted to part with it. Gave $130 and it had Houge rubber grips. Deal of a lifetime in 2009.

I think there is a "circularity" or a "circular continuum" to the political spectrum. I think this follows the ideas presented above about how gun control plays out in ideologies. I've often wondered how progressives reconcile their obvious distrust for "the man" with their lust for big...

I haven't bought too many brand new rifles in my lifetime, but I did plunk down some serious $ for an Alexander Arms 6.5 Grendel Overwatch upper with some very pricey glass. I decided to use a break-in process for the first time in my life (56 yrs) every 5 rds with Kroil, bore paste...

Our CCW statute is a joke. However, we were very lucky to get any CCW law at all a couple of years ago. My home state's political structure is stodgy, at best. At least we only have 1 legislative body to contend with. We have a ray of sunshine in LB 430 that is on the cusp of winning...

Success! Thanks!

I tried to install a +2 extension mag base on one of my Glock 27 mags. I can't figure out for the life of me how to get the base/floorplate off! I push in the detent in the bottom, but the two little protrusions on the sides won't let the mag base slide off the bottom of the mag tube. I...

I strongly agree with a requirement for firearms safety training for all kids in school, but I'd do it in 6th or 7th grade. It would include live firing, and target practice, plus instruciton in cleaning and maintenance. The firearms class would also cover laws regarding the use of force in...

The way you take care of it, it will certainly last longer than you will. I have an 1878 Trapdoor Springfield handed down from my grandfather that I still shoot occasionally. It functions perfectly, still looks pretty good, and will do "minute of man" at 200 yds (Actually, quite a bit...

Check out this link (if I can get it to work). http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cid/civilrights/statutes.htm#section242 This statute makes it a crime for any person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom to willfully deprive or cause to be deprived from any person those...

I'm presently attending a 14 week LEO academy...2 wks to go! We're knee-deep in laws and procedures, but laws regarding gun ownership/possession/carrying barely get a mention. I worked for 5 months on the street prior to attending the academy, and I can tell you that every deputy on our...

I apologize for the thread drift. Foosinoh wrote: "Believe it or not, reduction of poverty (and reduction of wealth disparity) is in the community's best interest - it reduces crime. " You're joking, right? Try explaining why the locales that soak up the most gov't handouts are also the...

I just ordered one via the link. Thanks, XavierBreath! I look forward to using it to educate a Fudd LEO that I work with.

I also need a 50+ yr category. Shot my first squirrel at about 5, in 1957. Started competing with BB guns at 10. Bought my first gun, a Mossberg model 42b (still have it) in 1963 and used it in 50 ft indoor competition. Been all downhill since then.
