    Today's letter to the Governor of MD:

    To the OP, I think your letter was well-written with the best intentions. Saying that, I have had the misfortune of knowing the Governor of MD on a personal basis I can say with 100% certainty that in the 1% chance that he reads it..he could absolutely care less. If its not something that's...

    Question for LEOs and retired LEOs:

    The last handgun arrest I had involved a 21 year old convicted felon that had recently finished a 6 month sentence for 1st degree assault with a firearm on school property. The two guns I recovered off of him were a rusted out revolver and a slightly less rusted Llama semi-auto that had an...

    What's the most irresponsible thing you've ever done to pay for a gun you wanted?

    Whoa..this one hits very close to home for me. I am a loving, hard-working husband and I the only thing I look forward to everyday is going home to my family but I do have an addiction. I dont drink, do drugs, gamble, and have never even thought of being unfaithful to my wife but Ive got a bad...

    CCW and relationships

    My dream woman would be cut from the same mold as Kate Mara's character in "Shooter". A stand-by-your-man, handy with the shotgun, and can nurse you back to health type. I've never had to deal with anti-CCW attitudes as I carry off-duty thus I think most of the women I've dated understood it...

    Whats the Price of .22 around you?

    I dont even bother to check the price of .22 when i purchase it. Having assorted firearms to feed, in .22, 5.7, 9mm, .40, .45 ACP, .50AE, 5.56, .308, and 12 gauge, I like to have at least one thing I can go to the store and snap up in bulk without agonizing over how much more it costs now than...

    FN Five Seven, why so expensive?

    My local gunstore had one for $950 and I would have snapped it up had it been OD green instead of black. It feels comfortable and very light and I like that it has a high-capacity. The ammo now seems to be much more reasonably priced than before, or at least Ammoman has good prices. The AP ammo...

    Colt Gold Cup

    Quote: Spend some extra and buy it in stainless. "Nope-IMO, all "classic" Gold Cups should be blued. I'd even pay more for a Colt Royal Blue than I would for stainless." +1 for that. Theres nothing lovelier than the Royal Blue.

    New Purchase...It's a Chunk!

    Very nice deal! This is the first time I've seen a DE in two-tone and I like the way it looks. Just saved me some money because I was planning on getting a satin-nickled .44 barrel to match the rest of my gun but instead, after seeing your pics, I'll just get the black. Damn that looks good!

    Sigh..Just Had a Debate with my SFIL

    The only reason my marriage lasted as long as it did, 6 looooong years, was because of my relationship with my stepfather-in-law. My ex said that I was the only man she ever knew that didnt take any of his **** and made it clear that I could give a rats a$$ what his opinion was. Thus of course...

    What is the most intimidating firearm you have ever seen?

    An M203 grenade launcher that was negligently discharged while pointing straight out from behind me. Was doing a squad movement exercise at the Udari range in Kuwait and all of a sudden I heard right behind me a "poont!" and then see a hole the size of a small kiddie pool blown out of a wooden...

    I got pulled over today... your gonna want to read this.

    Ravnaf "That's the problem. Some LEO's put themselves over our rights or over the law. I say if you can't uphold the law or put a citizens rights above all else you should be in another line of work." In some cases, yes, it is a problem. In this particular case I would have to disagree...

    I got pulled over today... your gonna want to read this.

    Knowing full well that theres little chance we're getting the whole story here I'd have to say that if it was Ironfist making this thread I'd be a bit more sympathetic or believing of the facts as the OP has stated. OP, maybe you dont realize this but from the way you come across, your attitude...

    Gun modifications, whose addicted?

    I dont know why but Ive never been one for alot of gun mods. I'd like something, say a Les Baer Monolith, with its clean lines and all the subtle goodies that go with it..no laser sight, tactical light, etc.

    Sweet Jesus, what gun is that?!

    Anyone happen to know what caliber the Ruger No. 1 was in? That gun at the end was a stud. Fired, went with the recoil and set it back down cool as a cucumber. I'd want him as my back-up on safari.

    20-gauge Howdah pistols (pics)

    I've looked at those on the Pedersoli sight and its definitely a future purchase. The only problem is that I know nothing about BP firearms and have no idea what goes into branching into that area. Is there anyway it can be (legally) converted to shoot 20 gauge shotshells??

    Anyone here a gun enthusiast and NOT a materialistic and/or competetive person?

    I think I used to be pretty materialistic. Always had to have the latest electronic toys, the fastest crotch-rocket, big truck, etc. After awhile i realized those big ticket items were just putting me in debt and that Dodge Ram QuadCab was more like a financial prison than something to enjoy...

    Do you have more than 1 gun in the same caliber?

    I had always planned for a 1911 but recently came across a great deal on a H&K USP Tactical .45 and having fired it at the range and loving the trigger I had to take the plunge. At first I couldn't think of a way to justify still getting a 1911 down the road but came to the realization that it...

    Haha! I didnt know about that but it doesnt surprise me. im guessing that programming execs were sitting around thinking, "In todays political and global climate, where Americans are having jobs, money, and possibly gun rights taken away..what would glue to to our channel? I know..movies like...
