Might I suggest a seemingly popular idea -"change". How about if we lobby for an end to "junk mail", then turn the serious mail handling over to Fed Ex & UPS. Next, turn the "former" USPS property and buildings into day care centers (can't carry there, either!). There, wasn't that easy? And...

Like most on this thread, depends. If my wife is along, could be a couple of .22 rifles and pistols, and a .38 snubby. I tend to go for carry-gun practice, and maybe a .22 for fun. ALWAYS armed, as stated above! :uhoh: sailortoo

If it has to be a solid color, I'm out. I am a RED, WHITE & BLUE guy - it is what it is all about. I realize three colors may not work in the real world, but that's my pick, and I'm sticking to it! :) sailortoo

Just sold my father's 1894 Winchester saddle ring carbine, in .25/.35. It's been hanging on the wall as a decoration since forever, and no family member interested. An antique now, it was purchased by him about 1899. It pays for a new Saiga 7.62x39, and ammo and conversion parts. Ammo alone for...

I'm curious about the comments about "I never leave a gun, loaded or empty. in the car". There are endless scenarios where I - in NM and when traveling - need to normally be armed, but cannot legally carry in the post office, or a restaurant serving alcohol, for instance. I either have to go...

Wow! So far, the midwest and the south indicate "roll over and hand 'em over", Idaho and NM say "not so fast". Am I going to take on a main battle tank, no way - But I still don't see our full military turning on it's citizens in force (even though that was one of our Founding Father's fears)...

MovedWest & MistWolf in particular: You are very High Road, very informative, and show how some (unnamed) others on this thread could conduct both their reading of the "evidence" such as it is, and their condemnation of a person who seems to have made a mistake in judgement, rather than commit a...

college concealed carry Good post! A very difficult CCW "nich" to break into, as colleges do tend toward ultra liberal views on everything. Looks like a strong and level headed approach. Good luck. sailortoo

You bet! Emails, letters, personal one-on-one visits, and have attended committee meetings at "the Round House" in Santa Fe. It is an uphill effort in this (currently) blue state, because of the old time inbred politics that go back about 400 years. We (conservative, Second Amendment promoters)...

THR I joined up because this is "The High Road", and as a lonely outcast from packing.orgI needed a new site for knowledge and repartee. Probably one of the best gun information sites available. :) sailortoo

BullfrogKen - addendum - Do remember, the USCG also is a law enforcement agency (military in time of war), and does have that same arrest and protection "duty", not necessarily connected to life saving. One of those usually misunderstood facts. I don't mean to drift from the thread, but I hate...

BullfrogKen - Distinction accepted, but I personally always considered it a "duty", and I still see it that way. "Mission" is a distinction that I guess is a lawyer way to look at it - to me, and those I served with, it was, and is, a duty. sailortoo

I only have one "Hang on the Wall" gun - a Winchester model 1894 saddle ring carbine in .25 .35. My father bought it new in 1898, as his primary deer rifle. Still in shooting condition (gunsmith checkup recently), but I don't hunt, and .25 .35 ammo isn't generally available, except special...

The "confession" is a breath of fresh air, and thought provoking. However, there are some drivers out there that are not in control - at all - in the sense of alcohol or drugs. Those are the scary ones, and I had a recent non-contact, but threatening encounter on a local highway. I have to...

Duke of Doubt - You "can't imagine anyone working at a job where it was his LAWFUL DUTY to help anyone needing his help". Welcome to the United States Coast Guard - Semper Paratus (Always Ready) - and unofficially; "You Have to Go Out, but You Don't Have to Come Back" - and some don't. It is...

Why the interest in Albuquerque, when there are a plethora of smaller towns with "local flavor", quiet, unique and interesting. You can always drive to "the big city" for the opera, superior art and jewelry shops. Most of what I have read here, I agree with - just can't imagine living in "the...

I have posted a link to this story/proposed law to my state senator, as some thing for him to ponder for our state. It would be something else if this does become law in Montana, and more power to them. sailortoo

QuietEarp - State can be, depending on how it is used (context), either a political, physical area (state of Maine, state of New York), or it can be a "condition", as a State of Freedom, a state of poverty, a state of dispair. Punctuation and capitalization in the 18th century did not...

I don't know where the "no throw-downs" comes from - cite please? My understanding is, the state police requested this in the original CCW NM statute - so a traffic stop would be safer for the officer. Logical - absolutely not! In NM you can have "whatever" in the way of legal guns in your car...

Reconn...Man - Good for you! And an appropriate "move of the day". The NRA is not perfect, but none of the other gun/2A rights organizations are, either. We just have to work with the those that produce progress, and the NRA is respected by most of those who "live by the vote" of the public...
