I don't really have a dog in this fight, since I don't own a .45-70, and may never have one, but both claims on the effect of the 45-70 on the American Bison herds could have merit, depending upon if you are talking about the southern herd, or the northern herd. The southern herd was basically...

Came here expecting something about being aware of what was downrange (and I was already to share my story about shooting out in the desert when a couple of ATV riders pulled up on the top of our backstop. :what: I never even thought of this angle. Thanks again for being a great wealth of...

Remember that most bureaucrats are just doing a job, they don't make the rules, they just get to enforce them, whether they agree with said rule or not. Yes, yes, you can make the argument that if you didn't agree with it, you could go get another job. Sometimes, yes, sometimes no, but it is...

HUH? Am I just dense, or does this really say that open carry is ok everywhere except Dallas? And, yes, thank you DC Dalton for all the work!

I am not defending the NY Times at all here, but they are generally pretty careful about not printing things that are completely untrue (well, maybe only mildly careful these days, the media standards for "facts" and "truth" do seem to be dropping across the board). Possible that the NY Times...

Just to put things in perspective, it isn't better everywhere yet. I still have a hard time finding .22lr on store shelves here, and the best price I have seen yet was 7.5 cents per round. Of course, that is on a store shelf, not online.

I can't tell you about Michigan, but I would it if someone would open an indoor range around here. I have to second what ford8nr said in post #13 though. If you haven't already talked to whoever regulates indoor air quality in your state/area, I suggest you do so before you go too much...

I agree with those who say that a lot of this kind of talk is based in emotion, not any kind of factual information we actually have at our disposal. There is no indication that Mr. Trump is a gun guy. Personally, I think a far better question is when did the USA got to a point where we are OK...

Apparently I am in the minority here, but I don't want the federal government anywhere near any gun laws, including national reciprocity. (I understand they are involved in gun laws, but I don't WANT them involved, and I certainly don't want them more involved.) I just don't like the odds that...

Be careful what you ask for. Uniformity is generally not as nice as it sounds. In fact, it kind of runs counter to some of the founding principles of the nation and it always ignores situational variation. Far too often, uniformity is a synonym for lazy.

Thank you, RetiredUSNChief, for saying what I was thinking in a clear manner. I mean no disrespect to LEOs, I know a good number who are wonderful, brave, good individuals. The fact that they exist should have absolutely no bearing on how I, or anyone else, choose to protect my own life from...

My takeaway: decision making processes are probably not fully functioning when awoken at 1 am from a deep sleep. Plan accordingly, and then hope that you never have to find out how slow your comprehension can be in that scenario. However, this man has yet to be convicted, and we all know that...

Great story. Thanks for sharing!

I hope you are all correct. I guess I don't see him as any sort of an outsider though. My honest opinion? In terms of guns, this was probably not as bad as it could have been (if she had been elected), but in terms of all the rest of the mess in politics, this was just business as usual. Again...

It sure is obvious from this conversation that we all live in very different places. I guess it shouldn't be any wonder that "common sense" isn't very common anymore, since we seem to have less and less in common with each other with each passing year. Anyway, our local schools don't seem very...

Bought a Savage 110 in 30.06 a few years ago. It shot better than I did. It did have a very stiff bolt though. Can't say I thought it was pretty, but I didn't buy it for looks, I bought it because I could afford it. I sold it to a co-worker because my back problems no longer allow me to shoot...

"Once freedom is lost, only blood—human blood—will win it back." I personally believe that both major candidates pose equal risk to our freedoms, though they obviously each threaten different freedoms. I am not a single issue voter, and I believe losing any freedom is bad and will eventually...

One time I was working in a pretty dense section of trees in northern Virginia. It was hunting season, but I was in a cluster of houses with 1-2 acres a piece, so didn't figure I had anything to worry about. Heard the crack of a gun and then what sounded like a bunch of rocks hitting the trees...

Thanks for all the hard work.

I suggest you take a look at the Twin Falls/Jerome area, the Burley/Rupert area, or the Pocatello/Idaho Falls area in Idaho. None of them are really mountainous, but they are all close to mountains. Good hunting and fishing is less than a couple hours away, great hunting and fishing is a bit...
