    Working Guns for Homesteading/rural/off grid lifestyle?

    If I can take my Jeep, then Winchester 94, Mossberg 500, GP100; if I have to hump the load CZ452 and Heritage Rough Rider for comparative volume of ammunition you can carry. Also, this scenario requires sharpening your most important weapon -- your mind.

    Do you think the average gangbanger practices shooting?

    "I was in a gun store once where a gangbanger-looking dude (must have been just starting his career with a clean record) and the sales guys asked him what kind of gun he wanted -- type, caliber, etc. -- and his response was "something cheap." That was it! " Based on my own economic history...

    Angelina Jolie on Guns

    This is a part of an interview she did in Britain. Just FYI. "If anybody comes into my home and tries to hurt my kids, I've no problem shooting them." That's Angelina Jolie, revealing her up-with-the-Second-Amendment maternal instincts to Britain's Mail on Sunday. And, as an added...

    open carry in VA - FOX news video coverage

    My permit from York County, VA says to carry a concealed handgun. By the way, they are of the flimsiest card stock and also require a picture ID to be carried with them. FL's permit, on the other hand, looks like a driver's license.

    Portability and Reliability versus Spray and Pray

    This was all very pleasant. I assume that there are a more than a few people in this forum (and the TFL before) with more knowledge than me. Before these threads become heated, there are still some points of interest (opinion?) worth contemplating. I appreciate that people take time to share...

    The fall of the Alamo, March 6, 1836.

    There's an excellent book by William Davis called "Three Road to the Alamo" I think. I read it about five or six years ago. I took away that Crockett was a self-promoter (didn't like to be called Davy) none the less had strong leadership skills; Travis deserted his family, saw himself as a...

    The first gun you ever shot

    I think I was about 12 and it was either a friend's 410 shotgun or single shot 22 bolt action. We did not have guns in the house growing up. My father was an Infantryman in the Pacific during WWII and had seen as much of guns that he needed. Later in life, when I was out of the house, he had...

    "$340 for a pistol permit??? ..." my first reaction was this is reminiscent of the poll taxes and literacy tests used to prevent blacks from voting in the South in the 20th Century.

    Am I too critical of some fellow gun owners here?

    There are some over the top posts in my semi-humble opinion. As for me personally, I carry when I can. Since I work on a military base, I can't even transport to work, but I don't stress over it. At home, I often carry a 637 in my pocket and something more substantial on my nightstand...

    Model 10 code confusion

    "Will5A1 SCSW says 1954 - 1956, so it should be a pre-10. " Thanks for date but as to pre-10 when you open the cylinder there's 10-5 written inside. So it says 10-5. My only concern is that I recall somewhere reading that from 10-5 forward you could safely fire +P rounds. Thanks again.
