    The DOD Surplus Brass Controversy - Fact v. Rumor

    Waitone... Yes...it was me on Tom's show. I interviewed Larry Haynie, got his story, and e-mailed Tom--who checked it out, and decided to have both of us on the show. Larry Haynie is a businessman. I do not think he would frivolously or maliciously lie about this. He will have to lay off...

    The DOD Surplus Brass Controversy - Fact v. Rumor

    Here's further corroboration as posted by the JPFO... http://www.jpfo.org/alerts03/alert20090313.htm This apparently, for whatever reason, was forced last week. Larry Haynie said in the interview he has competitors who had received shipments of expended cartridges, and DOD called them and...

    The DOD Surplus Brass Controversy - Fact v. Rumor

    Apparently the Government Liquidators website has not been updated as this directive just came out late last week. Here is corroboration as posted on AR15.com. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=844248&page=1 If you want to see more, or link onto Tom Gresham's radio show...

    Alpen Scopes There's an optics company coming on pretty strong from the Left Coast. Alpen has been having binoculars and sport optics manufactured in China and imported here. Their binoculars have won Outdoor Life's "GreatBuy" in Gear Tests for six years running. They are now designing and...

    Need help planning a prairie dog hunt...How-To?

    Whew. I knew I would learn a lot when I posted this question. I'm sending the link to the other guy helping me set this up--so he can appreciate the fraternity of rifle shooters. I appreciate it all--tips, advice, etc. This forum is a boon to anyone with a reasonable question on guns.

    Need help planning a prairie dog hunt...How-To?

    Thanks guys. Great info so far. We're willing to travel--just hate to start with a blank slate. I've heard about the shooting in Nebraska and SD--guess we need to hook up with someone in the area, or use an outfitter the first time. WE LOVE Louisiana--but it's so far off the beaten path for...

    Need help planning a prairie dog hunt...How-To?

    A group of us Louisiana boys have a real hankering to head out to west Texas or New Mexico, or wherever and make a prairie dog hunt. We know next to nothing. A couple of friends used to go yearly in the Texas panhandle, but no longer. Back then, they were welcomed by the ranchers, but I...

    Update On New Orleans Cops Gun Confiscations

    What Happens to the Guns? To Really Lucky... In answer to your question, the NRA and SAF dispatched investigators to New Orleans and surrounding areas very shortly after reports started pouring in of law enforcement personnel seizing weapons from people who had not evacuated. Once these...

    LA Parish Bans Gun and Ammo Sales

    The Louisiana statute is the "Louisiana Homeland Security and Emergency Assistance Act." Google it for the entire, lengthy piece. One of the many extraordinary powers conferred on the governor under this act is the power to: "(8) Suspend or limit the sale, dispensing, or transportation of...

    Update On New Orleans Cops Gun Confiscations

    Wonderful idea! I love it! Having worked in law enforcement for 25 years as a reserve, I doubt they would let you take it. But it surely would get their attention.

    Update On New Orleans Cops Gun Confiscations

    Tom Gresham brought this up a couple of days ago, and being the gentleman he is, did not mention my name as his source, because he had not asked my permission to do so. The reason he has not asked is that I live in Baton Rouge, and we are still digging out from under Hurricane Gustav...I have...

    Monster Hunter International: Review thread with SPOILERS!!!

    Not Available on Amazon... I went to Amazon and called it up, planning on ordering it. I read the first part of it a while back, enjoyed the writing and the premise, and thought Larry did a good job--very imaginative, and he strings words together very well. There was a message I've never...

    Curious: Has Anyone Read "America Fights Back?"

    Dave... Tom Gresham and I each posted answers to Hayhoe in the reviews of your book on Amazon. Not only is his spelling ignorant, he has sentence fragments and tense errors throughout the diatribe. He has no conception of good sentence structure, grammar, or spelling--what an idiot...

    "The Great New Orleans Gun Grab-Descent Into Anarchy"

    Ratbert... Thanks for your generous offer to pass our book around. Rest assured missing the small residuals off a few pass-alongs will not break us. I'd rather members get the book, read it, and tell others about it, and I know my co-author, Todd Masson, would agree. The message that...

    Small NRA vent...

    Thank you, Robert. I never cease to be amazed at the short-sightedness of some people. They gripe about the mailings, but think it's swell when the NRA mounts a lawsuit to protect gun rights, lobbies Congress to pass laws ending nuisance suits against firearms manufacturers, files "friend...

    Quieter range shooting - "Silencer box" idea

    Selfdfenz (Boy! I had to look at that several times to spell it right.) I managed to finagle the tube from a couple of spares left over from a construction site. They were putting in a neighborhood next to a friend's property. He got friendly with the foreman, mentioned he had a friend...

    Quieter range shooting - "Silencer box" idea

    Fumbler... A couple of the suggestions would work, as Spencerhut's design indicates--with .22s and handguns, you shouldn't have any real problem. As he says, it's tough (read: nigh impossible!) to kill the sound of a large caliber rifle. I write a column on shooting sports for four...

    Curious: Has Anyone Read "America Fights Back?"

    Dave... You know all this already, but I'll add my two cents: 1. Bought it off Amazon (then got a free one at the Gun Rights Policy Conference!) 2. I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana 3. I buy lots of books like this--also read about it from SAF, etc. It's causing quite a buzz. And the...
