    Today Is November 10th

    A salute to the brothers. While I never served with the Marines, my unit moved north as I left to support their efforts when their Sea Knights were grounded.

    So how many guns are in your room?

    Currently in my shop and have two within arms reach (.45 and a Judge), 5 or 6 if I move a little (.38, 9mm, 9x18, .44, .45LC). And my wife worries when I leave the garage door open late at night. I leave the house and they are locked up, otherwise, nearby, loaded and ready for use. An...

    Lots of shoot'n on Hell on Wheels tonite

    I have a 1872 Uberti open top in .38 and a Pietta 1851 in black powder. The Pietta grips are horribly matched. Just have not taken them off for fitting and finishing. Haven't fired the BP pistol. Love the show though.

    Cashing in on your gun collection?

    Well in the last year, my IRA earned $.43 and my mutual fund earned $510. I sold two guns with a $800 profit. I consider my collection an investment. Especially the thousands of rounds sitting idle.

    The Pros and Cons of Gun Control

    Right track but not on base. Not poverty, but the War on Poverty when we began subsidizing the poor so they no longer had to work. Youth not because they were/are young, but because their cultural values have been eroded by (above) and the failure of the families to raise their children in a...

    Stolen Gun Checklist

    I no longer have a link, but I know I have run Sn#'s into a database at no charge a few years ago when some of my purchases were suspect. I'm sure you will receive a proper link. Now my father had 7 weapons stolen from his estate and I recovered 4 of them and know the disposition of the other...

    Keeping Track of Your Guns

    I keep a rather thick binder including reviews, sales slips, photos and manuals. Then I have an Excel spreadsheet which is updated regularly with the normal info including my estimated value (retail) so my heirs would have an idea of what to ask upon my departure.

    Florida Senate rejects new bill for Stand Your Ground changes....

    "Hero"? Not likely! GZ was and is an overzealous jerk. I think justice was served, but GZ is no hero.

    Guns in the movies

    Every time I watch "We Were Soldiers" I see more weapon issues. Last night I had never noticed the gunship had mini guns before in Nov. of 1965. We did not have those until later. When I left the aviation unit depicted (A/229) at the end of 67 our D company was still using quad 60's in support.

    NRA membership renewal

    I'm not happy with the NRa, but what choice do we have but support them. Without them many of us would already be non law abiding citizens. Yes they will get my support again.

    The WORST gun in your personal collection?

    Nothing wrong with my Moisin M 44 mechanically or beauty. It just hurts this old man to shoot more than 10 rounds.

    A Solemn Reminder - Caution Graphic Image Linked

    Jlr2267 You must have children. Most guns in my home are loaded or I assume they are. Antiques excepted. I do have a young granddaughter who occasionally visits and the storage areas are locked while here or when I leave the premises.

    Mental health check requirement to own guns???

    On a similar note, I have an acquaintance on probation. I drove him to his monthly visit to his PO. He came out in a very ugly mood. Seems the PO had to keep referring to his file to recall his name but took the liberty to discuss underlying reasons for improper behavior and depression (none...

    Now that I have a mosion nagant I need ammo.

    I don't think a shoulder would make it through 10,000 rounds. I still have ammo left from my initial purchase and I'm in no hurry to take my M 44 out any time soon. I made the mistake of firing it last on my last outing. After a few hundred rounds of .357 and 9mm, and 7.62x39 I was already...
