    discrimination at the gun store/show?

    Well, it seems that this thread has about run it's course. Before it ends, I'd like to put forth a couple of thoughts. I am the most biased white guy that you can imagine. Listen up. I said biased, not prejudiced! I'm thinking back some 57 years to a place somewhere north of the 38th...

    Have you ever used your sidearm in self defense?

    Yup. You got it right. A 3.5 Bazooka team might knock a track off if hit just right. Otherwise, run like hell and hope the heavy artillery boys weren't asleep. Good job. Best Regards, Charlie

    Have you ever used your sidearm in self defense?

    Many moons ago, it was decided that I should take a walk North. I met a fella who decided he wanted to come South and that I was standing directly in his path. If I didn't move he was going to blow me straight to hell. Well, I was armed with a big ole one-shot manstopper--1911 .45 and a...

    No more Rugers for me

    Since this thread has definitly turned into a product liability discussion and I hear rumblings of thread closure, I feel that I can pass on a story about product liability without being accused of going "off topic". Up until a couple of years ago, My wife and I flew ultralight airplanes and...

    Need an old-timer to tell me about a "sliding scope".

    Thanks for the info folks! I'm pretty sure the scope was a Unertle. I looked on E-Bay and was surprised at the prices of these thingss. Good grief, I probably didn't pay more than $100 for the rifle and scope together. Thanks again Charlie

    Need an old-timer to tell me about a "sliding scope".

    In 1963 I bought from a friend a Remington Model 700, 26 inch barrel in .222 caliber. He was a paper puncher and the rifle had a 15 power scope mounted on the rifle. I didn't know one scope from another, but as I remember, it was about 12 inches long and had some kind of springs attached as...

    Looooooooooooooong Time Ago!!!!!!!!!! U. S. Army 1950-1953 North Korea Army grunt toting an M1 with a lot of nasty people with a bad attitude that thought I shouldn't be there. At times I thought they might be right. I was never shot or wounded, though I did donate a couple of toes...

    Loading the Garand for a left hander

    If you are serious, here's how to do it! Who is in charge of this show, anyway? You or your right thumb? You TRAIN that little bugger until it obeys your command with confidence and without hesitation! Strength training first. Tie a length of rawhide string round the right thumb with a...

    Four guys rob me of my Raccoon feeder

    Dumb, dumber and dumbest! Talking about mailboxes. I had a son-in-law (now an ex-son-inlaw) that was so lazy you couldn't find a shovel to fit his hand anywhere. He wouln't work so he took up stealing. At about 3 AM he and another pot head broke into someone's barn and was stealing...

    Best SD gun for small, weak, arthritic hands?

    Thanks, Connecticut Yankee Thank you for your kind advice regarding my wife's arthritis. She is under a doctor's care and takes medication for pain, however there has been no therapy. That sounds like a good idea and I will look into it. I have to take charge of her as she is one tough...

    Debating a combat veteran

    Well, well, this has turned into an interesting thread. I was never in Vietnam and wouldn't know a M16 or M14, full auto or otherwise, if it was right in front of me. I was a front-line Army grunt in Korea in 1950 and learned real fast the difference between the "tinkertoy" M1 Carbine and...

    Help what should I do?

    How about a "sword" cane? I had one of these years ago and I have no idea where you could buy one today. It was less than three feet long and and quite discreet. It was hollowed out and contained a rigid pointed sword which was three-cornered and about two feet long. The knob was carved in...
