    Warning: This thread may cause nausea

    As a vet, I am ashamed that those who gave us draft numbers and had us trained to meet military standards and needs now refer to us as potential terrorists. I cannot begin to express how outrageous and pompous I find the current government's stance.

    Striker VS Hammer VS Revolvers VS Handguns VS compact VS subcompact

    A Glock comes apart so fast, it will make your head spin. Then again a revolver is easier if you are not talking about complete dis-assembly. A field cleaning is easy in either case, if you have become familiar with your pistol. What I wonder is why you are concerned with easiness? Perhaps you...

    Do you guys use lasers?

    Sam1911, I will concede all the points you make. My time on duty never involved a shooting, I managed to avoid that use of force. But, I think being able to get a hit while in a severely contorted position by simply seeing that the laser is center mass could be a life saver for that peculiar...

    Do you guys use lasers?

    Sam 1911, I watched the videos you posted. Your idea of being on the ground is very different that what I was thinking as I wrote what I posted. I will grant that with such close contact a laser is useless and should be the last thing on a person's mind. I was thinking of perhaps having been...

    Do you guys use lasers?

    I shot a fellow's Glock that had a laser in the grip. Once sighted in, it was no longer necessary to raise the pistol to hit the target. Just get the laser on target and squeeze. I don't see how that could be anything but helpful, if for instance you had been knocked down to the ground and were...

    What do you carry when you actually hike?

    I hike mostly in the Shawnee National Forest and only carry a Mora since this is Illinois.

    Used Remington 788 in .308 or New Savage Axis in .223

    You made a fine deal. Be sure to post some later once you have had it out and shot it.

    Used Remington 788 in .308 or New Savage Axis in .223

    I am just saying that it is not fancy in the looks department, as far as shooting it will make you happy.

    Used Remington 788 in .308 or New Savage Axis in .223

    That sounds like a very good deal on the 788 Remington. Most searching you could do for the 788 will return very positive comments on accuracy but they are not much to look at. It would be a superb hunting rifle. If it truly has only 50 rounds through it, it is just now broke in and ready to...

    Illinois Challenges Concealed Carry Decision

    I appreciate the heads-up. I registered at illinoiscarry, but for some reason it won't let me post and won't send a validation email. So, I am left out in the wilderness as far as that site goes, but I do read it and have been contacting my Reps and making witness slips.

    New to me, 1934 Colt Police Positive Special

    That is a really nice looking pistol! Congrats...If it were me I would just experiment with different loads and keep it in as nice of condition as I could.

    BB/Pellet rifle

    Go to Pyramyd Air and spend some time watching the videos and reading the blog. The German rifles are a delight to use. Crosman Nitro rams are very usable also. But check out the videos and blog to help you make an informed purchase.

    Illinois Challenges Concealed Carry Decision

    I watched from about 2:30 pm until the thing broke up. I give great thanks to Mr. Phelps and all those who spoke in support and who worked behind the scenes. I personally would have lost my cool at several points and my blood pressure would have sky-rocketed, thereby making me useless to the...

    Gun Ban Needed To Prevent Ex-Cops /Military From Murdering People With Guns

    Seems to me that all the Iraq and Afghanistan just got called "Baby Killer," just like some of our earlier vets. Seems that the Left is now abandoning the mantra "hate war, but we support the troops". The gloves are coming off.

    New IL CCW law introduced

    Where can we find a list of approved prior service MOS's. It does not seem to be specified in the posted text.

    Hoarding is getting to me!

    Just buy a pellet rifle or pistol. There is plenty of ammo and prices are reasonable.

    Am I overreacting?

    I will never forget what Jane did and I'm stilled a little ticked at Ono. I guess that makes me cold and unforgiving, sniff sniff. I went this past summer to Washington, D.C. I walked through all the various memorials for seven days. It was good to see that others there were just as affected as...

    Preemptive Brinksmanship-Would You Support a limited AWB if

    The anti's have been nibbling away on personal freedoms and replacing them with politically correct speech and hate crimes (thought police) and dare I say it, anything goes sexuality. I will never trust them to modify my rights as written in the founding documents. Not even one tiny word.

    Proof that AR-15s have a "legitimate hunting or sporting use"?

    I think we all need to learn to respond to the anti's with statements like this: Well that is an interesting question, but I disagree with the underlying principle... and then proceed to explain that 2A is not about hunting and so forth.
