Priority on physical fitness: includes strength and endurance. Have fun shooting w/ your nephew. They'll teach 'em the right way, no matter what. Didn't know squat about the Marine Corps or shooting when I stepped on the yellow footprints at MCRD PI in '85. Made Expert Rifle. Honor...

The textbook quote in the OP: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms [i.e. for military purposes] shall not be infringed." I had my 7th grader read this. He interpreted it as people can keep arms only...

Also, look at the angle of the rifle: either that stand is very low, he's shooting far away on level ground or he's shooting across a narrow valley.

That video makes a more compelling case for the LEO's to shoot, no matter what. O/w, we'd be hearing about downed officers.

The general concensus here appears to be that the guy is a stick in the mud. I agree. To play the devil's advocate, would it be OK to have a "Gay Day" or "Muslim Day" or whatever group discount day? For me, I could care less. The more folks interested, the better. Besides, it's a private...

Excellent presentation.

Disability is a state of mind. Attitude matters. Way to go, Gym!! Find excuses to train. Don't train for excuses.

More info, please: how old is your daughter? Why wasn't she taught by you?

Learn from my mistakes: (1) hearing protection. I took my oldest out when he was about 7-8 to a steel silhouette shoot. I gave him my hearing muffs. He claimed that things were too loud. My mistake was that my years of shooting without hearing protection really wore my ears out. What I...

The whole family went and replaced old flags w/ fresh ones at grave markers. Saw some old old-timers. Tomorrow, I'll watch my boys march in the parade (as part of Cub scouts). In between I've got some .308, 7.62x39, .45, .22LR that I'm itching to expend. Rugerdude, S/F. From an old 8654 MOS.

I thought that was good. Clearly showed you folks were having a good time. The editing didn't bother me. I use vids to further my shooting skillz. So, here's what I noticed: the lass had a malfunction and cleared it well. BUT, I also noticed that she closed her eyes during her shots. I...

One thing I hope folks learn from this is to learn to read these studies. The following is the original research article that is quoted: http://works.bepress.com/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1087&context=dennis_culhane It is important to read the methods. Table 1 is a summary of all the...

Yep, sharpie in pocket and I'll bring some tape cause there's loose clays and shotgun shells all over. I tape it to the used targets. I'm sure folks have seen my targets and have thought ill of my shooting abilities. ;-) Oh, and those BDU's and silly clothes that I wear: left over from my...

Interesting thread. I'm sure some of y'all have seen my type. I try scrimp/recycle what I can. At my range, I find used targets in the dumpster. I see unused space on all of these targets. So that's me: balding, middle aged dude shooting at targets in silly attire w/ bullet holes all over...

"Always be respectful" Absolutely agree. I've had a few occasions where my initial impressions were way off and am thankful that I didn't open my big mouth. Turns out I made some friends and didn't look like a doofus on the initial encounter.

Neverwinter, I'll reply to your posts and not derail the other thread. In this instance, the OP mentions Media Matters personnel. This is not an elected position. Hence, this is difficult to reconcile with your views that: "Private citizens should not be able to purchase means of protection...

I do not wish to derail this thread. I will reply in the other thread.

So far the actual shooting events are interesting. M14, BAR, motorcycle sidecar w/ M1 carbine, M32A1, and Benelli shotguns. Whoa, come on. That is awesome. I could care less about the drama. Heck, I think they're setting things up w/ the Red team being all lovey-dovey, and w/ Mr. "I can't...

Ah, I see. I did mix private and public citizens. I read that thread. Some of your posts were deleted. I don't think that particular thread debunked anything, like you suggested. In that thread, you attach the importance of scale: that a private citizen's death is less important than a...

If the mayor and the police chief believe that private citizens should acquiesce, then so should the mayor and police chief. If the fear is escalation because private citizens wish to defend their right to life & liberty, then that should extend to all citizens. The mayor should not have...
