911 Guys, lighten up! It was just a 'gee whiz" kind of thing, apparently I need to indicate sarcasm next time. :rolleyes: ;) :rolleyes: ;) :rolleyes: ;)

I've always loved the 1911, and I find it interesting that the date of our greatest tragedy and the beginning of the war on terror shares the exact same digits? One more reason for me to carry my Kimber (Pro CDP)!!

JShirley JShirley It was a leadership briefing/Q & A at Squadron Officer School (SOS) at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery, Alabama. I was attending SOS as Professional Military Education (PME), and as part of our leadership training we had a 2 hour session with the folks described before. No...

All The forum in which I heard this tale (see original post) included both Col. Day and ADM Stockdale, as well as a dozen other Veterans and POWs, and occurred about ten years ago. I have already stated that it seems the story is an 'urban legend' based on what I read at snopes.com, and...

To All I posted this story because I truly believed the gentleman in question, after examining the snopes.com article it seems that he may have been relaying a story heard elsewhere and taken for the truth. However, from what was on snopes, she did plenty of other things to be held in...

PC Florida signs CZ-100 The local mall had them up, and I think they still do. That was the one that annoyed me the most, not sure about others. MajMike

I was lucky enough while in the service to hear from many of the POWs of the Vietnam War, and this is story relayed by one of them, who also was awarded the Medal of Honor for his conduct in the Hanoi Hilton. Jane Fonda, while in Nam, was 'toured' by the prison and several prisoners were...

Civil Rights First of all this is not something I am up in arms about (pun intended), just a pet peeve as I said in my initial post. But, to me it is a civil rights issue. I am being denied my civil rights (set forth in the Constitution and codified in the CCW laws) by these business...

All businesses are required to comply with state and federal regulations, but some have started a trend of posting "gun free" signs denying CCW holders their Constitutional rights and circumventing state law. While I am for letting business owners control their business as they see fit...

werewolf werewolf I used to think a lot like you, and I still agree with much that you said, in principle. However, all that I have learned shows me the flaws in those principles, flaws that a condensed society such as we have today must address in some way. The free market theory is...

Atheist's chosen party J6 Maybe you are right, but I don't see the Libertarian party as trying to remove "In God We Trust" from our money, and as with pretty much all parties here in the US believers will outnumber non-believers a good bit even there. I respect your right (or whoever's)...

Barrel change I see his point here, with 'ballistic fingerprinting' being an issue the anti-gunners are pushing, swapping barrels would 'change' the weapons print for the most part (I would change firing pins and extractors too, to change the marks on the brass). This would render their...

Question re CCW Here's a question I have, should business owners be allowed to overrule state Constitutions and state laws (not to mention THE Constitution) authorizing concealed carry simply by posting a 'gun free' sign in their window? Isn't this like saying they could post a 'whites only'...

Jammer 6 J6 I would say to the atheists that the right to self-defense is the most basic 'natural' right, if they prefer that to God-given. Every creature has the right to survive, to defend their existence, regardless of whether they attribute their existence to a Creator or simply to...

Tough Choice In a house or CQB a shotgun for me, if distance more than 25M then a carbine like my Mech-Tech .45 accompanied by my Kimber CDP Pro II using the same mags. It's really a matter of personal preference, if you don't like the recoil of a shotgun don't use it. Body armor doesn't...

Expert?? I consider myself a very knowledgable gun owner, as it has been a hobby since my youth, thanks to good old Dad. I have a moderate collection, a dozen handguns and about the same in rifles/shotguns. Most of these I shoot pretty well, some better than others. I have my Bronze...

It doesn't I didn't have to put my name in, I just put in a zip code and got the info for Florida and Mississippi. Found one of the bastards on my own street! MajMike

Godfather - jams Manual cycling will always result on more jams because the amount of force is not consistent like a recoiling weapon. It's similar to 'limp-wristing' causing malfunctions on the firing line. I had an older Bersa and never had any problems with HP's, but to be safe you...

jury briefing I think jury nullification should be included in their initial briefing, and they should be informed of their complete rights and responsibilities. Most judges though specifically prevent this from happening, under threat of severe penalties to violators. MajMike
