    what do you say to people who say the 2nd amendment is for a well regulated militia..

    You say, "you're right." (that is to the well regulated militia) Now we just have to define what a "well regulated militia" is. The Second ammendment was intended to guarantee the citizens of this country arms to defend their persons and their liberty. From their own governmnet if ever...

    Yet another Pitbull attack.

    Dfaugh, I don't mean to bust your chops but you have some serious contradictions in your posts. "I have 4 GSDs (5 until recently) right now and NONE of them can be allowed out together. They WILL fight, and they WILL inflict SERIOUS, or FATAL damage, and they WILL NOT stop until they've...

    World Shooting Complex- Sparta, IL

    I'm really dissapointed in the Sparta complex. It's basically just a giant trap range which is a politically correct sport. If you've spent any time with competitive trap shooters you know that they are in general not very pro-gun as strange as that seems. A facility that large should have at...

    To invest in Silver Bullion or Firearms?

    Bogie, You're definatley right. But that was 20 years ago!! The biggest mistake I think people sometimes make is investing in what worked 20 years ago. Times change and markets are cyclical. Right now comodities are riding high like stocks were in the 1990s and from all indications they...

    To invest in Silver Bullion or Firearms?

    f4t9r: Last year silver out performed gold something like 18% to 29% respectively! (not to say I wouldn't keep a little gold around) It was the HUNT brothers who cornered the silver market in 1980 and the fundamentals look better today than they did then. ie. it could happen again...

    To invest in Silver Bullion or Firearms?

    Started buying silver about a year ago. I'm a geologist so got intereted in the supply/demand side of the equation. I don't see that you are in much danger of losing money at these prices. Unlike stocks, at least you've got something physical so you know it won't go to zero! I'd disagree...

    Continuing the "friend or foe" discussion

    Thanks Cosine, but I've go that checked and it still doesn't work. I can see other people's pictures when they attach them, but for some reason Oleg's never show up. I apologize for hi-jacking the thread for technical babysitting.

    Shooting Tracers?

    Does anyone have any information on the potential for damage to a barrel when shooting tracers? In particular, will shooting .223 tracer ammo in a quality (Rock River Arms, Varmiter) chrome lined barrel do any damage? Thanks for any info. :D

    I recently aquired a Stoeger Uplander 12ga SxS with choke tubes and was wondering if anyone new where to get additional tubes and if they are exchangeable with any other brands? Thanks for any replies! P.S. The "naked ladies" in the title was just to get people to read the thread...

    Do You Reload .40 S&W?

    I have reloaded thousands and thousands of rounds for use in my Glock 35 for IPSC competition. I do have an aftermarket KKM barrel that offers some additional support (also has traditional rifling) but I don't think it is necessary. I've got a buddy who shots the stock barrel and has brass...

    The Old Man and The Raccoon.....a gun novel

    HankB, Yep, I was surprised the HBWC didn't work an better either, I really thought they would be just the thing for feral cats, rabid coons, what have you. Pretty dissapointing. They were just the typical 2.5 or 2.7 grain bullseye load (don't remember exactly now but typical wadcutter...

    The Old Man and The Raccoon.....a gun novel

    Cheygriz, I can think of a lot of reasons to shoot a 'coon. They're {NOT} rodents that carry diseases; they like to make homes in attics, doing a lot of damage in the process; they crap all over the place, etc., etc., In my case the 'coon was getting into my garage, getting into the dog...

    The Old Man and The Raccoon.....a gun novel

    That's great! Had almost the exact same experience recently. Variations: Used GP100; Had hollow base wadcutter loaded backwards; :cool: Had opportunity for second shot to decisively finish battle; :scrutiny: Found out hollow based wadcutters loaded backwards are no more...

    40s&w

    I've been shooting 5.2 grains of Univeral Clays behind 180 gr TMJ for several years for IPSC. Shoot it out of a Glock 35 (2/10 a point from making A class....ARGHHH).

    Lead Poisoning....this is not good news

    Esheato, I haven't heard this mentioned yet, so I thougth I'd throw it out. A friend of mine (fellow IPSC shooter and re-loader) turned up with very high blood lead levels during a physical. The doctor wanted to start chelation (sp?) therapy, but my friend was worried about the side...
