    Com'on Let Me Hear Your Stories!

    One pearl of wisdom that came from working in the probation service over here (UK). Apply the rules without fear or favour. If you cut people some slack then you're making it real unpleasant for the gaurd that doesn't. According to my acquaintances most assaults on staff member A were caused...

    Road Rage

    Have to side with the old man here. yes, flipping the bird back was dumb, not something I'd do. That said, some people need reminding that if you start something the other person may well finish it. Call me old fashioned or a reactionary loony but I don't like bullys and when the 17 yo got out...

    SHTF w/a twist? (A bit funny)

    Genius, simple genius. Sounds like the planning for the best holiday ever, small nukes, stalin organs, B52's, tanks and good barbecue. Strikes me that this would make an excellent template for the first THR international "Big Day Out". Coming to a small latin american country near you!

    Handgun law in response to dunblane and rise in inner city gun crime. Blair govt. entered office may '97. All parties at best lukewarm over gun control.

    Just saying Hello to everybody.

    howdy What took you so long? :) I'm with you on the beauty of good craftsmanship vs Milsurps functional cuteness. Stuff that's well made leads to poor impersonations of golom on my part, "ooh my precioussss etc.".

    Ol Spiffy Almost Got Mugged~!

    Aaaah, pass on sympathies and a pat on the head for still breathing Hope he's ok, disarmed them with his wit I presume? :) Weird that two hours before this post he posted elsewhere saying he was more likely to be run over by a moose than mugged.... Lifes little surprises, sheesh

    There's only one way to protect ourselves – and here's the proof

    Hear, hear. As much as I may vehemently disagree with agricola on some issues, you are going to have to look hard to find a more concise analysis. Not bad for a Rozzer :). Got any pointers for further reading? Especially regarding the potential (yes I know it won't happen but I'm curious)...

    Possible abduction attempt ...?

    Hmmm, still sounds worrying over a week after you posted. I'd follow arc-lite and concur with the thoughts of a man more experienced than myself. Hope you and yours have nothing to worry about. By the way, dig a hole somewhere quiet. Boy scouts motto etc.

    UK passes 'Enabling Act'

    All the above and all it takes is a minister or two and the primeminister to decide that it's needed. Oh joy. :mad: Having worked as a civil servant in the CJ system I am nervous about letting that bunch having any more power than an aneorexic ameboa. 1984 indeed. Now where did I put...

    If R. Lee Ermey was the U.S. Press Secretary

    Idiot? Last time I checked you don't get to be a D.I for being a moron. You pick the best you have to break in the young'uns. If you think he's funny you should hear the NCO's that deal with the 'young gentleman' at RAF Cranwell (RAF Officer Training). I spent a happy afternoon when 15...

    Poll on position for legalizing drugs

    This post's so long I can't remember the original question and my eyes hurt I'll try to stick to the point and be brief. I concur that narcotics are merely another tool of evolution. They weed out the stupid and the weak. Other tools of evolution are skydiving, snowboarding, riding high...

    If R. Lee Ermey was the U.S. Press Secretary

    Acid test for those in the public eye. Would you want them as a neighbour? In this case yes. His colourful and creative use of vernacular alone would qualify him. Correct me if I'm wrong but was he not a real GSgt.? Another excellent reason to have him around. Bill Gentleman with...

    I could hear someone trying to open my door!

    No firearms, but funny..... Last year myself and the better half stayed in Edinburgh. Whilst we were there we had a day off and went to see the haunted vaults under the city. She had something breath in her ear and got a little freaked. Undettered by this she decides we're doing the "city of...

    How do I tell if a gun "fits"?

    Mr McCracken, I thank you for your thoughts and it is a pleasure to do so. Having now made the effort to find your writings on these matters elsewhere I have rendered this post redundant. Nonetheless I will take the opportunity to thank you for putting your thoughts where novices like myself can...

    How do I tell if a gun "fits"?

    My bride to be and I are about to purchase our first shotguns. These will be for sport shooting or game that weighs about 140-220lbs and might disturb our slumbers. We're treating this purchase the same as any other and intend to utilise the facilities of of our local clubs to try before we buy...

    Just saying Hi for now

    Thanks folks, T'was indeed Mike that is to blame for my prescence. He has unknowingly inflicted upon you a deep well of filth and perversion. I'm starting to trawl my way through all the achived stuff to avoid being too annoying. As for tweed, make aspersions like that and I'll start calling...

    Just saying Hi for now

    Hello all, Thought it would be polite to introduce myself before jumping in. Beware, I come here seeking knowledge. I'm based in the UK where it is hard and socially difficult to discuss firearms. A friendly passing science fiction author pointed me here so I'd stop hassling him with inane...
