    Did you hit a point where aquiring new guns wasn't that much of a priority anymore?

    We always 'have one more than we need, but need just one more'.... yes I went hog wild for a few of the 'Clinton Years', then one day, I was suppose to meet someone at his home at a certain time... then- a problem with the circuit breaker box... in my home! The electrician was on his way, I call...

    Massachusetts Gun Owners Rally at State House

    Some serious looking gun owners, a couple 'men of the cloth', mixed in with a few hundred beer bellies in tee shirts and Bermuda shorts wandering around like little lost puppies... with the mega phones of a 'black lives matter' group echoing in the marble halls.... to meet no one but staffers if...

    Massachusetts Gun Owners Rally at State House

    No more news, seems Wayne La Pierre was asked to attend? No word on that, but Mass could use some backing from someone somewhere now and then- for the last 40 or 50 years? I am parking at an all day place- less than 20 bucks, half mile walk. Sounds as good as it's gunna get. Be there or be...

    Massachusetts Gun Owners Rally at State House

    Here's an update. Saturday noon to 2 or whenever. INSIDE the statehouse... so please no carry's to the door, or you will slow up the Ashburnton street entrance- the only one open so far, Saturday again- so please don't slow the rest of us up. If there are more there than last week, now known to...

    Massachusetts Gun Owners Rally at State House

    This might be the last post on this thread... MY state senator, Donald Humason, put forward a bill today, Sunday, to strip the Attorney general's office of all maters pertaining to firearm sales and restrictions, those to be the domain of the house and senate in future.... so that might be the...

    Massachusetts Gun Owners Rally at State House

    That's a sore point Drec. 350 FFL's and a dozen makers within a 3 hour drive- a couple are multi million $ corps, how many you think showed? More than zero? Maybe a few. Seems around midnight a 'letter to rescind' was signed and sent by 58 legislators, many are dems! Healey is just trying to...

    Massachusetts Gun Owners Rally at State House

    That's part of the confusion giggity, a class A license holder can own, carry and buy anything as anyone else in America can. A non CCW human can't. There are class 3 people here too. That's the urban myth about 'Mass guys can't own guns' for the last 40 odd years. And all along, all these...

    Massachusetts Gun Owners Rally at State House

    TRX, this all dropped out of the sky Wednesday morning. This is kinda soon for an organized response. Especially what we were fed so far- this is the weirdest one ever. They say it doesn't really affect civilian 'owners' just certain post ban models stocked in retail shops. Who will have to sell...

    Co-worker receiving family firearms across state lines--NY to PA

    How far apart are they? Father moves to Pa. Takes his guns there. someday decides he likes New York better (?????) Once the guns are in her house in PA, they happen to stay there- end of story? She needs to verify this idea with a lawyer, but saves a lot of paper work neither state or feds care...

    I want to be a "collector," but.....

    A 'collection' of WW2 and newer stuff doesn't attract historians... some conisuers, but it mostly attracts chiselers. You still have the 1700's kit? Forget inside of schools, they aren't there to teach anymore anyway. If you were AWI, on the east coast, wow, every other weekend would be an event...

    Mass hi cap rules?

    Hey, MP510, I think you got it down to a science. Everything I own is before the 1990's anyway, so I suppose I just never noticed. I think hawkers howling about more and new laws is like a snake oil salesman. Boring doesn't attract buyers does it? I suppose to go around this, savvy vendors in a...

    Mass hi cap rules?

    I say rules, because I can find no 'law'. I no longer live in Mass, but went to a gun show yesterday. All sorts of hi caps for everything on the tables. The last couple shows- months ago, I bought all sorts of 20 and 30 rounders. at decent prices. This time I saw nothing I needed or wanted to...

    NRA Life Membership, is it worth it?

    And I am glad they don not donate directly. It causes more fingers to point...and if it went to a backstabber, as sometimes happens, our money wasted. Endorsement yes, a briefcase full of cash... nooooo..... But for youth and safety education, for 'educating' or reminding? law enforcement who...

    NRA Life Membership, is it worth it?

    I think of this as more for the rights of all gun owners in future, not our finances at the moment. I paid $750 in 1997, it was to fund the new building in Fairfax? and I still donate +/-100 a year- 20 each at the 4 or 5 gun shows I attend. Equal to the parking, admission and a hot dog right? So...

    Can't see the target anymore.

    Well, that's why in the old days, a soldier needed 20-20. I can't see down many rifle iron sights, or any US sights from trapdoors to 03A1's. Peep sights increase the chances of atleast getting a blurred target/ or front sight, concentrating the view helps? I guess they blacken out unneeded...

    Thought's on France's LE guns after Paris attacks w/pics

    Please excuse my lack of 'cut and paste' skills. 20 years online, still can't get the hang of it! I was told since the Nazi occupation, a French civilian can not own a military caliber weapon, so a private mini 14 would have to be a dewat, unless converted to an odd cartridge... which might be...

    What's the next shoe to drop in Federal legislation?

    Hum. Going back to the original post, I have no issue with a national mental restriction. I don't want nutcases walking near my family or even my mailbox, never mind having more than a sharp stick. Or worst yet... voting. EVERY mass shooting in history was by a nutcase. They are dragging us in...

    Guns and Ammo rank the top 38 states for Gun owners

    Yeah I don't know about these 'facts'. I have had a Mass CCw for over 20 years, my cousin has class 3's, again for many years. The regs about home storage is sensible if you got kids or no other securty. As for 'assault weapons from 199 whatever', the was a show last week with 800 tables and...

    The Inventor of the Greatest Battle Implement Ever Devised Speaks

    Hi guys. I read THR alot, but don't post often. This time I thought I needed to chime in. Jean Garrand- yes pronounced Gar or Gah -ran, was born in Saint Remi de Iberville, a small town about 20 minutes south of Montreal. He emmigrated to Rhode Island as a teenage, and his gift for improving...

    Is it crazy not to buy assault weapons now?

    Depends how old you are. I remember a buying frenzie in the late 60's. and the late 70's. And the late 80's (GW Bush 1 signed the assualt weapons ban of 1989) and in Clinton's first term. And Clinton's second term. And for y2k. And after 911. And now the last couple years. Now I am too old to...
