    NRA Center

    I too am a disabled vet, and this is the 1st time I've heard about a lifetime discount. I considered going from an annual member to lifetime several times, but every time I inquired, they wanted some ridiculous figure, and when you are 78 years old, I don't see giving that much $$$ for whatever...

    Marlin 336

    I have a 336 that I bought in 1957. It has taken it's share of mulies, and whitetails, and would never, ever part with it. Was tempted one time to trade it for a Winchester octagon barrel 30-30. Tempted, but no cigar. Still have it, and when I'm gone, my sons can argue over who gets it...

    New to crossbow hunting - Questions

    Arkansas Paul, a hearty welcome from N Central Arkansas. I have a Horton crossbow, that is probably 20 years old. Have taken my share of deer with it,with both carbon and aluminum bolts. Don't see much difference between the two. I have back problems, and in turn rigged up my own cocking...

    Picked up my Browning Hi-Power today......

    I have one that I bought about 10 years ago, for much less, and in excellent condition. Have CCW with in several times, but just have never gotten completely satisifed, that it will not fire in condition 1. (one in pipe, and hammer cocked) My CCW instructor taught us to leave the pipe empty...

    NRA is starting to tick me off!

    I've been an annual member for many many years, and feel the NRA is doing more good than bad. If it weren't for them, gun owners would be in deep doo doo. On the other hand, I too get PO'd with all the garbage I receive from them. I have often thought of upgrading my membership to a lifetime...

    Hurt dog

    Our Golden is now going on 12 years old. She was a ball of fire, for the first 2 1/2 to 3 years. Could not hold her down. But now in old age, she barely gets around, and since she's family, it'll be a sad sad day when we have to put her down. We feed her a coated aspirin, and Glucosomine...

    Not enough room for all my guns

    I had same problem. Guess that comes from being a pack-rat. Went to Bass Pro and bought a cheapie 12 gun cabinet for around $175. Good price, when you are in BP. Worked till I found a more substantial safe.

    Gun safe in garage?

    I bought a Liberty "FatBoy" safe a year ago, after Christmas when they went on sale. I was worried about me picking it up, and how to get it into the house. The store had a couple guys who would deliver and set it in place for $125. I quickly agreed. I saw them coming in, in an old pickup...

    642 Club Part Deux

    Is there a "moderator" monitoring this Web-site? I am relatively sure, I posted on last Wednesday evening, on page 112, #2796. Now all of a sudden we are back working on page 110????? Did we lose two pages, or am I losing my mind? Doesn't make sense.

    Re: Turned out the lights Ralpho1, I posted last evening on page 112. Now we are back to 110 as the last page. Something is amiss, I think.

    Wal-Mart Questioning if it's for a handgun?

    I'm sure this has probably been covered before, but it happened to me this afternoon, and I was flabbergasted! I picked up a brick of 22 Long Rifle Hollow Point shells, from Wal-Mart. At the check-out counter as the clerk was ringing up everything, she held them up and asked if these were...

    Are Gun Owners In The Majority ?

    I'd like to think we are in the majority, but stats do not prove it that way. Then those that do own, how many are sheep? It's a good thought.

    Journalistic Language Challenge

    My personal opinion, is there isn't a good newspaper left anymore. They are all out there trying to put their own "slant" to a story, to sensationalize it to their system, to sell more papers. Some reporters will violate every law in the books to obtain a story, and print it. Our own morals...

    Gun Safes? opinions.....ideas.....suggestions.

    Hey Blues Brother, the common ordinary thief doesn't know what is in the safe, and if he has the time and inclemations, he'll bust into it. Short story; My granddad had an old safe in his business during WW2. Got kicked in and knocked combination lock off, and tore safe up,but didn't get it...

    Trouble Trouble..

    I agree with pbearperry post #28. The older generations have indeed grown up, been through many trials and tribulations, and for the most part have "been there, done that" whereas the younger generations have lived with TV, Internet, TV games, and violence, all on imaginary screens. Have not...

    642 Club Part Deux

    Boatman; that's the same question running thru my mind. I bought my 642 a couple months ago, but then had some surgery, and have not even fired it. Have been wondering what the dealer would want to trade for a "no lock"?

    Securing weapons in an apartment complex

    I agree with Soybomb, running a locking cable thru the trigger guards, and then thru, and around the bed frame, would probably keep them from being stolen, at least at that time. Maybe next time, the burglar would come better prepared, with bolt cutters. Not the most sanitary, but effective.

    642 Club Part Deux

    New 642 Member Well, I finally broke down and bought a NIB 642. Have been a THR member for a while, and lurking in the background, reading all I can on the 642. It will be a good companion for my BHP with it's IWB. I have a Milt Sparks Versa Max 2 ordered for it as well. Thanks for all the...
