After many fun filled hours of Weapons Cleaning, I can ID that as either a M-16-A-1 bolt assembly, OR...... A refractor from an Infinite Inprobality Drive unit! (Yup, I'm "one" of those Hitchhikers....) Don't Panic! 42!

Here's what I carry in unfriendly territory. Rock Pick. Very useful for driving tent stakes, chipping off a neat piece of quartz, breaking out side windows in an emergency, able to carry it almost ANYWHERE, even "weapons free zones" as it's not a weapon! Sad part is, that this discussion...

For your consideration. http://www.dailyamerican.com/articles/2007/04/22/opinion/columns/1_bob.txt

One big reason is it's not needed. Soldiers (and Sailors and Marines and Airman) have disipline! We may have disagreements and even fights on base, but for the most part, they end in "let me buy you a beer" conclusions, not all out shooting. Another reason, is to protect the TAXPAYERS...

Another anectdote. I'm way past college age, but recently I saw (with my own eyes) an Anti converted. I volunteer as an instructor at my local NWTF Women in the Outdoors program (photography, car care, and astronomy, don't ask how I got such a strange skill set) and at a recent event, we had...

Loudest, M109A6 Paladin howitzer at my former employer's test range. I was photographing the recoil with a still camera from about 20 yards away in the test bunker. Blew the windows on the cap of the photo lab's pickup truck sitting in the parking lot. ( my co-worker had to explain that one to...

Here's the skinny I write a weekly column for my employer, a small town newspaper. This weeks subject; you guessed it, gun control. Bogie's right, keep it short, simple, controlled, and avoid catchphrases and acronyms (that need explained to the general public). Don't get into "rant mode"...

How's this Oleg; One Armed Citizen. I ate at Luby's in Killeen, 2 years before that shooting, I have friends at VT, and take a look at my location. I really hate the idea of being sheep. This is what we as Americans have become. I am a reporter, and I have a weekly column, this week's...

I'm reminded of something the Dr. Richard Hanlon said the The Battle History of the Air Force on the subject of the Sept. 11 hijackings. It sees approprate here. "Had there been one armed citizen on each of those aircraft, Sept.11 would have never happened" This from the Air Force's historian...

Signed petition, passing along to the wife, and will include in my column next Sunday. Here's a modest proposal, let's give Philadelphia to New Jersey! Since it's the Philly area that's Pa.'s Money Pit, let's just put it where it belongs! BTW TechAlG, Rick's a life member of the NRA

Avenger, I will get more shots later this week. FYI, the gun is sitting in front of the VFW in Hooversville Pa. This is just outside Johnstown Pa. a former Bethlehem Steel town, which may explain where the gun came from. Indeed, I initially thought that this was a French gun, but the...

Avenger, Jim, thanks for looking, I'll have to get some more detailed shots of it. I havn't talked to the Post Historian yet, some of the old timers (WWII vets) have tole me that the gun was at the old Post when they were kids, so, it's been in their possesion for a LONG time. The bar...

I've been reading DBD for a few years now, 'tis nice to see editorial cartoons that are not slanted to the left! Thanks Chris! As for Sam, my Drills always tole me not to lock and load until on the firing line.... So, that stratigic placement of a 30 round magizine is an unsafe act....:D

Okay. This is sitting in front of a local Legion post. I thought I knew a lot about towed guns, but this one's got me stumped! Here's another view, looking a the gun shield. It's only 1/4 plate, and cracked to boot! There is still a data plate on it, that is stamped "Bethlehem...

Howdy!!! Well, I finally decided, after writing several columns about gun control, I finally decided to sign up here, and get the straight scoop. I'm retired from the W.Va. Air Guard (combat camera), a former Pa. Army Guard truck mechanic, and before that, a Bradley mechanic for the 2/64...
