Police Departments also (rightly) refused to be strongarmed by the Clinton Administration to have to purchase S&W handguns. Some used Berrettas, some used Glocks. They stated that it was a safety issue, and that they were not going to purchase a firearm that did not come out first in...

DennisRyan, at the present time, the Federal Government does NOT prohibit felons from hunting with muzzle-loading firearms. However, it varies from state-to-state if there are local prohibitions. It looks like Nebraska has prohibited convicted felons from hunting with muzzle-loaders. If you...

Remember that an Assault Weapon Ban can blow up insofar as appreciation is concerned if they are truly BANNED. First-Hand Example. About 15 years ago, I owned a Street Sweeper and never fired a round through it. I was a police officer, and an ATF agent that I worked with informed me that...

The British owners of Smith & Wesson didn't care about Americans or their rights. They just wanted to rack up as much profit as possible, and if it included crawling in bed with Bill & Hillary, so much the better (picture that in your mind, yucch). The new owners of S&W have expressed that...

A couple of years, one of my partners was shot & killed during a hold-up by thugs. He worked for the Department of Justice and was well-trained, but he was a slender blonde-haired, blue-eyed church-going young guy in a crappy neighborhood. He was actually on his way to relieve our team on a...

buck00 is absolutely right in his writeup. I worked undercover in the absolutely worst parts of our city. When I walked down the street, the Locals could tell that I was not indigenous to the neighborhood, and so some would start "sizing me up" as a potential target. However, I would...

.......and then some.

Air-borne!!!!!!!!!!!

csmkersh While this thread started about a Texas shooting, this is being looked at by folks from all over. All that I was getting at was that you will never be sorry for putting yourself in as strong of a position as possible. In 23 years of criminal investigation and narcotics work, I...

By the way, don't worry about admissibility of such a recording. If you are within your own house, there is virtually no restriction, and you don't have to advise the Dirtball that the incident is being recorded. And in MANY states, you don't even need to worry when carrying a covert...

Mr_Rogers First, I would personally have no problem with you capping a dirtball intruder who breaks into your house. But there is the problem of after-action review. Insofar as your question about going outside & coming back at a burglar, it may be tactically wise, but could be construed...

OK, besides Texas' Castle Doctrine, there is the doctrine of "Fleeing Felon". Many/most states do not allow you to shoot a felon who has finished his crime and is just fleeing, but... The laws do state that, if a person has committed a dangerous felony, and is fleeing, and you have a...

Personally, I've only shot the Leverevolution bullet. In the Buffalo Classic, I've found the felt recoil to be about the same as a .308. The 45-70 L/R bullet is "only 325 grains", so I suppose that's the reason that it doesn't beat you too much. I understand that if you went that light with a...

I got one as my Christmas present last year. In Mississippi, you can hunt deer with it from Mid November to January 31 between Still-Hunt Season, Run-Em-With-Dogs Season, and Primitive Weapons Season. I've picked up the Hornandy Leverevolution Ammunition, because it makes it a fairly flat...

Sorry 'bout the delay in answering. He was less than 10 yards away. He was so close to me that I didn't dare move. He stopped alongside the same fenceline that I was standing on and he looked to the left & right, and I knew that he was going to jump it, so I quietly cocked the hammer...

I have a 5.56 rifle that would shoot 3/8" groups at 100 yards with the right ammunition. I figured that I would put a scope on it to get the most out of its capabilities. I made the mistake of buying a Simmons. After getting it boresighted & zeroed, I fired 5 rounds at 50 yards from the...

As I read the bill, ANYONE manufacturing ammunition (without the engraving) after the sunset date would be a felon.

It would be nice to know who the investors pushing that "technology" are. Then scream at our retirement trust funds to pull any funds from any ventures/companies/mutual funds that they're associated with.

I would recommend staying away from brass framed revolvers - especially the Colt design with no topstrap. When I was a kid, I stretched the frame on one when I cranked down on some loads that didn't go in easily, and I understand that I am in good company. Last night, I saw a guy on the...

And insofar as penetration with 78 grains of FFG. One of the first deer that I shot with it was a good-sized Wisconsin whitetail buck. I put the shot right where I wanted, behind the shoulder. Anyway, when we were skinning it, the Maxi-Ball fell onto the floor of our machine shed. It was...
