    guns and my fiancee

    OK, to add some value to the thread, rather than just criticise. My sweettie was anti when I met her. Moderately anti, as in, believing the missinformation out there, not wide eyed crazy anti like Brady Inc. She's bright enough to figure out that it's a hobby, it costs a helluva lot of money...

    How clean do you keep your guns?

    Heh. When I had one gun I cleaned it religiously. Now I have more I don't. Cleaned my 22 rifle the other day, took 50 shots to get it down to 1" (5 shot groups) at 100. I don't even clean my carry gun, except sometimes. OK, it's a stainless revolver, doesn't need cleaning except for...

    Tattoos

    The difference between tattooed people and non-tattooed people is that tattooed people don't think non-tattooed people are a bunch of losers. We want people who don't like guns to leave us alone, not interfere with out liking of guns. Should the same not apply to other lifestyle choices too...

    Hunting myths that will mess you up!

    You believed that? *shakes head* Hey, I have a really nice big bridge in San Francisco for sale, you might be interested, no?

    Another epic FAIL..

    Well, obviously the gangs are not obeying that law, so they need another law against that...

    Sigh..Just Had a Debate with my SFIL

    You can find studies on teh intarwebz to prove that Elvis is alive, gay and living in Tijuana. Some people have too much time. If you're one of them, by all means debate this fellow. Otherwise, well, IMO, move along.

    Why can you buy a longarm at 18 but a handgun only at 21?

    Well, obviously because handguns are more dangerous than long guns. Or... what Blackbeard said.

    so how many guns do you own?

    Getting to the point where I feel I have almost enough, need to add a few to complete my wish list. Present count is somewhere between 80 and 100. Most expensive got bought last w/e... about $1500. Freedom Arms 22. Least expensive? Got given a few guns for free, nicest being a Savage '99...

    Grizzlies starve as salmon disappear

    You are 100% right BUT. We take off a percentage for human use every year. Call it a quota, call it a ticket, whatever. In a bad year, this quota compounds the problem. And industry (OK, my specific frame of reference is crayfish and the like in South Africa) screams like a little girl if...

    Most Accurate .22 ammo

    What TimRB said. My CZ rifle shoots 1" 5 shots at 100m... with S&B. With anything else, be it Remington subsonic or CCI Green Tags or Eley or Sobol, it's worse. Actually, Sobol (Russian stuff) shoots 7 out of 10 into a damn nice group, with three flyers. Consistently. OK, sometimes 4 flyers...

    Is AMERICA the ONLY country in the WORLD that allows concealed carry?

    In South Africa, if you want to carry, it has to be concealed. We do have mandatory registration too... takes about two years to get a licence.

    HANDGUNS overbuilt for the caliber they fire?

    + another 1 on the K-22. Thing can take a 38 and is chambered in a 22. Can't see it lasting much less than forever. And the Freedom Arms revolvers. The 454 is built like a tank, the lesser calibers should also last forever and a bit.

    Local police auction has a Vector CP1

    A friend has one that's a jammomatic. I might be able to get one free, considering it. OK, so I'm in South Africa :-)

    Checking for guns in unexpected places...

    At the Rodin museum they confiscated my knife. The one in the rucksack, for cutting cheese, maybe 3 inches, serrated, non folder. They then gave it back to me at the main desk, and I wandered out, past the thinker on the left, veered off to the gates of hell on the right, before leaving. I...

    South Africa World Cup 2010 - and the shooting has started

    Hehe. Don't worry, I've been involved in the fight for a while. It's all propaganda. We're on the knife edge at the moment, the next year or two will tell. Couple of court cases coming up, problem is the government fights with tax money and we fight with tithes... but things are going to get...

    South Africa World Cup 2010 - and the shooting has started

    Guys, you're reading a British newspaper and inferring that SA is a "hellhole". That's not fair. Sure, we have a high level of crime. But that doesn't make this a hellhole. We have the same number of murders a year as you guys do. You have six times more people. Work it out. We have...

    What kind of .357 ammo is in your .357 for SD?

    Can't find SD ammo locally. So I carry reloads, 125 grain Hornady XTP that I've clocked at 1400 fps from my 3" barrel. I plan to go on a "night shoot" sometime to evaluate the flash. Using moderately fast powder, so it shouldn't be too bad.

    how inaccurate can the LEE 100 grain beam scale get

    I have a Lee, a Lyman and an RCBS. The Lee is new, the other two have some miles on them. I suspect I need to change the pivot blocks on the RCBS, it gives me inconsistent readings (which is much worse than consistently slightly wrong readings). Anyway, in my opinion they're equivalent, but I...
