    Goose hunter in Kenosha/Racine/Milwaukee/Walworth/Waukesha/

    My friend and I are looking to goose hunt for the first time this year. Is there anyone in the area who is willing to help us learn? I don't expect a person to take a stranger hunting, but first-hand, local advice would be great. We're in the city of Racine, WI. Any willing mentors in...

    .22lr rifle = happy new shooters

    I know this is old news to a lot of people, but it's been reinforced for me over the last three weeks. I started a new job and have been warming up to bringing some people out shooting. I have four new converts who had never touched a gun in their lives before coming with me. They all loved...

    Colt Woodsman - reassembly problem

    The pistol (a third series model) won't cock when the slide is actuated. The recoil spring is in place, the sear spring is in place, the hammer strut is resting on the main spring with the hammer forward and there is tension on the slide when it is assembled. I'm assuming that the sear is not...

    Thank You Letters to Pike County Board

    I have written a letter of thanks to the citizens of Pike County. I would love it if we could all send them a note telling them how much we appreciate their resolution. Enough letters like that, and it will make the news again. More press on it, and a mass positive showing of support for it...

    Taste of goose?

    I've never eaten wild goose. The one time I ate farm-raised goose, I couldn't tell you it wasn't chicken. I'm in Wisconsin, and I am awfully tired of all of the geese around here that are so popular and brazen that in some places you could walk up and slap one before it flew away. Part of...

    Brady convinced me, and in her honor I will seek death blog control

    We have all seen the disastrous effects that blogs have wreaked upon entire families, indeed entire communities. Lives not only ruined but lives lost due to the inherent danger and violence due to these death blogs, whose only purpose is to cause fear. How many of you have heard of unlocked...

    How do internal locks work?

    I've read a little about internal locks, and the controversy of how they can be knocked loose or fail and suddenly lock a gun. However, how do these locks operate? What do they lock and how (please pardon my ignorance) does the user control the lock?

    3rd party votes doom pro-RKBA candidates?

    I frequently see people suggesting that a vote for a third party, such as Libertarian, is a vote that guarantees a Democrat the presidency and attacks on the 2nd Amendment Why? I suspect that people believe only conservatives would vote Libertarian. The fact is that a lot of Democrats and...

    An article about self-defense firearms, in the Isthmus (Madison, WI)

    This article was the cover story of a free local paper called the Isthmus that publishes once a week. From what I have seen of it, it has a bit of a liberal bias, but tries to write most of the articles fairly. The semantics of the article suggest to me that the author had quite a struggle...

    "Cop's" style shows & comparison to CCW fears

    I was watching one of those shows with video footage from camera mounts in police cars. After a chase ends in crashing the fleeing vehicle, police often (and rightly) jump out with guns drawn on the driver. But then I saw some footage where the police would converge on the crashed car from...

    Recommend a Rifle Instructor for Madison, WI?

    I'm a student at the UW graduating in May and want to take up deer hunting after I graduate. Originally from Kenosha, I just purchased a .22 rifle there over winter break as a starting gun. I have no hunting history, and my firearm background is mainly shooting dad's 12 gauge around the farm...
