    Finally asked for my CHP

    Maybe that deputy is just naturally sour. Whether or not he intends to be, maybe he's just one of those guys that comes off as that way. Might have came off the same way if he were asking about your car or a broken tail light. Probably can't read too much into "gruffness." Maybe write him off as...

    mall ninja?

    Doc2005, you're hilarious. It's like when you point a video camera at the TV that it is also displaying on...seeing a TV image of the TV image of the TV image of the TV image...

    M16 Converted to Bullpup?

    I don't understand that sentence. I've re-read it repeatedly. THe FS2000 has been readily available for sale for years now. IIRC it's manufactured here in the states...I'll have to go look at mine. As noted, the M17s is the closest thing to an AR15 bullpup. THe FS2000 takes standard M16...

    Military Recruitment

    whoa hold on one second. If you want to swing for a commission, you must talk to an OFFICER recruiter. Insist on info regarding OCS/OTS. Otherwise, you may get talked into enlisting. There's no problem with that, but you need to know what you are getting into. Recruiters are after numbers...

    Opinions on AUG, XCR SCAR and 556 needed

    In your situation, I'd say AUG. If for nothing else, it's a novelty. That's how I feel ab out my FS2000. I'm not that big a fan of the gun. Terrible trigger, crumy ergonomics, shots louder and inexplicably harder than .223 should. But it is unique...has its own place in my collection. I have...

    The Anti's at it again --- in the Philippines

    You know how irrelevant it is when some European rolls his eyes at our liberal view of private gun ownership? Yeah, it works the opposite direction, as well. Hope the Filipinos sort out their issues. But at the end of the day, my say in the matter is meaningless. Can't have it both ways...

    The Military and range time

    DOn't worry, you won't be treated like trash. It's not like the movies, it's not basic training your entire time in the Army. If you have good NCOs, without inferiority complexes, you won't be abused. If you're on the ball, the last time you're treated "like trash" is when you leave OSUT and Ft...

    The Military and range time

    Dear Mr. Elite Civilian, Soldiers are Americans too. THe gun nuts that are in the Army shoot the same as the gun nuts in the civilian world. If you take time on the weekends or after work to go to the range, so does your gun nut counterpart in the Army. If you're talking about comparing the time...

    Does the US Army teach basic gun safety?

    This isn't a safety issue. There is no need for an outlined rule that says not to point a loaded weapon at another person and pull the trigger. I'm not defaulting to "common sense," it is beyond common sense. THe convicted guy did all of that, knowingly. He's not "unsafe," he's darn-near...

    N.C. Man Kicked Out of Military Over Contraband Rifle

    Nothing, necessarily. What's wrong, as others have repeated over and over, was disobeying a legal order. This wasn't a case of civil disobedience. This was a a case of a guy who thought he wouldn't get caught and knew perfectly well that what he was doing was wrong. On another note...all of...

    surrealistic debate with former Marine

    To play devil's advocate, here...if your redleg buddy had any actual convictions he could have easily argued that HE's trained to use those guns and has the authority to employ them against the enemy. The peasant...erm...average AMerican has neither the training nor authority. THis is the same...

    surrealistic debate with former Marine

    The reason why the guy in the OP was a Marine is irrelevant is because there's absolutely no connection between being in the military and opinion on domestic public policy. On one hand you're talking about being a tool of foreign policy (being in the military). On the other, you're talking about...

    Stephen King's taken some flack before, but...

    What do you disagree with? He self admits that he is anti-gun. Re-reading your previous posts defending King because of some of the actions of some of his characters, I still do not understand how you can "disagree" on this. There's nothing there to disagree about. He is anti gun. Different...

    Boy punished for T-shirt with gun image

    Isn't that the issue here? WHo cares if you're uncomfortable.? Soccer moms and school admins are "uncomfortable" with the picture of the gun. SOme on this thread are "uncomfortable" with anything remotely critical of American foreign policy. Both are wrong to try and stifle...

    Boy punished for T-shirt with gun image

    Well, I, for one, welcome his thoughts. AS much as I disagree, it's fairly closeminded to just shoo him away. That said, I think the argument is a little knee-jerk. THink the war was wrong, disagree with US foreign policy? FIne. I might agree. But let's not throw away the meaning of...

    mountain dew commercial

    Oh, that's genius. That's actually, true, too! YOYOs were invented as weapons. By definition, they still are. The same way those youth shotguns or .22 squirrel guns are for children. I am astonished I never thought of that. That completely blows away the anti argument of "guns aren't cars--they...

    Most gun friendly, beautiful state?

    Geojap: I souund more disparaging in my previous post than I meant to be. I didn't mean to "be hatin." Yes, I am military. I apologize if I was more critical than I meant to be, but certainly from an objective standpoint you can see much more ignorant CA-bashing than the other way around. When...

    Las Vegans Upset.New Shooting Park to Use Real Bullets!

    No, the park is gonna be some structured range with range-safety guys and everything. It'll basically be like a joint private/public thing that's open to all of he public for small range fees covering maintenance or something. It says the reason in the article...foresight on city planners of BLM...
