Not really gun related but a good story. It passes the Snopes test and there's a little more to it if you care to read it... www.snopes.com/politics/military/wakeup.asp

Just thought I'd share...

As I sat and read the Pittsburgh Post Gazette online this morning, I was greeted with this piece of yellow journalism. :fire: :fire: :fire: Link to article I like how they call the column The Sunday Forum. Isn't a forum supposed to be an open discussion of ideas and issues from both...

Through my friend who works for the ROTC program, my buddy and I got to play for about a 45 minutes on an engagement simulation system. M16s fitted with lasers and connected to a computer and an air compressor. The computer projects an image onto a maybe 8x15 screen. The compressor gives...

We've all heard the cliche of someone sleeping with a gun under their pillow, and I was just reading a thead where someone was talking about the ammo they keep in their 'pillow gun'. Knowing what my bed, covers and pillow look like in the morning, I couldn't even imagine sleeping with a gun...

I'm shooting a .308 match this weekend and have a borrowed M1A to use. I got some once fired .308 brass, a jug of I4895 and M72 bullets. I'm trying to figure out a cartridge OAL. I don't have a comparator and am using a makeshift setup. I sized and trimmed a case and seated a bullet very...

I was at a big used book sale today that a local women's group holds every year. Today was 1/2 price day. So I'm browsing through the tables in the political science section when what do I find? A signed copy of Wayne Lapierre's "The Global War on Your Guns: Inside the UN Plan To Destroy...

I started working in a different department last July. There are over 1000 people in this department and I still haven't met all of them. I knew there was a guy in the department who lost his son in the VT shooting. I met him this morning. We talked about different things at first, mostly...

I just spent the morning cutting trees and brush at the range I belong to. There have been target frames at 50 and 100 and gongs at 150 and about 175. We cleared out a bunch of trees and brush up the mountainside and opened up a flat at about 200 meters that used to be used for sihloutte...

After you have removed the mag and emptied the chamber, has your gun achieved a state of Clear? :D

This would have been better suited for April 1st. It would have made a great joke. Link

There are some things I miss about city life, but not too many. My oldest son is 13. He just started his first year of teen league baseball, (the next step after little league, 13-14 yo kids, first league on a 90' diamond) As anyone who has kids involved in anything knows, fundraisers...

Does anyone know how to remove the firing pin from a Taurus PT-111? I think I have either a broken FP or spring. The manual that came with the gun is too small to make out the exploded diagram. The manual posted on Taurus's site doesn't show anything, There's not a diagram for it listed...

Stupidity again rears its ugly head... and shoots himself in it. :( Link to Story

I posted a thread about this match when they were looking for a place to hold the event and the school district didn't let them hold it at the middle school. The match was held Saturday at a better facility then they'd have had at the middle school. Some of the comments posted about the...

A little less (or more) careful and I wouldn't be posting this right now. I was at the range yesterday plinking with my AR. I was shooting handloads with 53 gr bullets. There were 2 other guys there shooting pistols. They weren't that good and were missing the cardboard boxes they had set...

We just redid my son's room. He wanted a military theme. There's a ceiling fan in in the room. It was white with gold trim. Not exactly fitting for the theme. A can of flat black, a can of desert tan, a can of olive greem and a few 'accessories' and now it fits very well into an 11 year...

I read this in my local paper today. Its from The Washington Post. He's usually a bit too far left for my liking but I found this column interesting because he talks about 4 dangerous sociological trends that are to blame for the violent crime in this country and not once does he mention guns...

Fellow high power shooters, I need your help. I've been shooting high power for about 5 years. My sitting and prone scores are usually pretty good, mid to high 90s for the most part, but my offhand scores SUCK! I shot a Garand/Springfield match Saturday and I shot 74 in the first match and...
