    What is your worst gun accident?

    My brother had an experience in the mid-eighties. He and his partner were going from oil well to oil well checking panels or something, way out in the scrub. He had brought along a 380 Llama and while his co-worker walked up to check some readings, he stayed in the pick-up cab and admired his...

    Why You Should Take An Immigrant Shooting: Ten Reasons

    Calling everyone illegal immigrants means nothing. Immigrations laws have only been on the books for a hundred years or so. I believe Chinese immigration laws were the first. Many people came here LEGALLY. Back the the purpose of the thread, non-immigrants here legally can shoot but can not...

    War Movies You Would Like To See Made

    I like the idea of the Winter War of the Finns against the soviets but I would like to see the air war portrayed. Take the Finnish pilot, Ilmari Juutilainen, ( try and pronounce that twice), he had 94 confirmed kills and lived to a ripe old age after the war. More impressive is the fact that he...

    I fired a gun inside a bank

    Sounds like my brother's accident. He was checking out a friends Llama 380 in a pickup cab way out in the oilfields. Kaa-boom. He was startled and then noticed a small hole below his knee inside his left leg. Feeling no pain yet he checked the other side of his leg. A larger hole was in his...

    LEOs, guns and mindset, part 2

    Thanks for seeing a few of the things I was trying to point out. As for the proficiency, that's why we qualify. Four hours a quarter. Used to be eight but don't get me started on that. The instructors look for problems like looking over the sight, jerking the trigger, flinching, ect.. and work...

    LEOs, guns and mindset, part 2

    You have to remember that cops do lots of jobs. Some are very good at other parts of it besides slinging a sidearm. LE Officers use a computer more than a gun, some have researching skills, some have communication skills, ect. Just because someone doesn't sleep with his gun doesn't make him a...

    Man wants his $400K back from the FBI

    One more tool in law enforcements arsenal. Course if you hate law enforcement, you hate their tools also. I'm curious how many people that use the "police state" banner have actually lived in a police state. No it wasn't a question. This may have started as gun related but it's quickly...

    Intersting Shootout Involving a NBA player

    Can't see Tim Duncan getting into much mischief outside of his video games. Loyal to his high school and college (graduated both) and works with the community where his pro team is. Even made the choice to remain in San Antonio long term rather than chase money. Or sorry, this was a gun...

    Need help selecting film about war for 9/10th grade HS students

    1. Gettysburg 2. Zulu 3. We Were Soldiers. 4. Battleground- No one had metioned it yet. An up close look at the battle of the bulge from the riflemans point of view. Unfortunately the only hispanic in the movie, Ricardo Montalban, gets killed off midway through but he has a very likeable...

    San Antonio Weekend...Two Needs: Range & Steak House

    No one mentioned the hunting. Most ranchers are catering to hunters now to supplement their income so many places near SA are available. For a big town SA is pretty friendly but the smaller towns are known for friendly people. i love being within two hours of SA for those quick trips. I'm...

    Did anybody watch "No Country For Old Men?"

    I think Tommy Lee wanted and fought for it to be filmed in Texas. Certainly many locations could have been used. Sanderson would have been good. New Mexico Film Commission must have made a better deal. I heard the Texas accents were terrible for the most. No plans to go see it.

    The Definitive <gun> Movie/TV Show

    That would be Jimmy Stewart. So many movies/tv shows covered. Didn't leave me much. How about "Hunter" with Fred Dryer. HK P9S with comp for the first few seasons. It was featured in the title scenes. In quite a few James Bond movies, "For Your Eyes Only" for example, the bad guys...

    Allowing a felon to shoot a gun without knowledge of them being one?

    Everyone is posting their own interpetation of "possession", some of it kinda out there but everyone is smart in their own way I guess. The only interpetation that matters is the Judges. He will not be happy to see someone who was in his or somone elses court before coming back in for...

    104,833 Pistol packing feds

    Quote U.S. Customs and Border Protection 27,705 Yea, we win... Don't hate us because we have guns too and we didn't have to pay for ours. As for having guns to use against another countries citizens and residents, that statement is kinda dumb. I don't care what your citizenship is...

    Best TV Gunfights?

    I really enjoyed Miami Vice. Crockett's Bren 10 was awesome and on at least one raid he carried a Steyr AUG. Most of the early shootouts were done pretty well. There was a show called 'Police Story', that had revolving characters. Some of it felt real and some gun play popped up. Hill...

    Today's (11/10/07) Day By Day Cartoon..

    I liked this one. http://www.daybydaycartoon.com/2005/10/03/ Really true how so many do not get what gun ownership is all about. I fight on my gaming forum with a guy from Norway who thinks all of America's problems stem from widespread availability of firearms. Chris has the in -your...

    Worst Weapon?

    Ilmari Juutilainen, Finlands best ace, used the Brewster Buffalo (28 kills) and a Me-109 (54 kills) very well against the Russians during the Winter War and the Continuation War. Both were considered outclassed by Russian planes at the time. He wound up with 94 total kills, never having lost...
