You could go count the bullet holes in the former Reichstag building (now a museum, IIRC).

Zumbo required the equivalent of a slap upside of his head in the form of being fired from his column in order to recover his senses about EBRs. Nothing quite gets a man's attention like reaching for his wallet.

Profiling is so un-PC...:-) This is a great practice. Also, remember it is not all good guys there and dealers with good security systems get ripped off at shows. It is even easier to get lax if you don't do it on a regular basis.

Wish I had kept a few of the 105mm Howitzer cases we used in my Natioanl Guard unit...

atomd - If your posts #18 & #19 were intended as a response to my detailed post #15, you missed my main point. I think my links clearly show that to use "CCW" as the correct understanding of the shooter's legal status is very misleading and is never used in your linked article. I contend that...

My first thoughts, if I were a non-gun person, would be who does this guy know that he can carry a firearm and is on the Boston Special Police Force? I might even Google the term and come up with this link: http://wbztv.com/local/special.police.officer.2.1275897.html Extract from the link...

Without going into great details beyond having the bullet wound scar in my abdomen to prove it, I have been the victim of my own stupidity with a single-action revolver (.22 magnum) by ignoring basic safety rules such as those cited by hso. My situation was a case of a dropped revolver that did...

Proper attire and hygiene will go a long way in reducing the immediate impact of OC. If you need details on what I mean by "proper attire and hygiene", you may either ask your grandmother or forget about OC because you aren't ready yet. The required level of maturity is key to your success...

For those who just arrived on the Interweb gun forums last week or are Google-impaired: ;) http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/2007/10/09/hk-because-you-suck-and-we-hate-you/ A funny read that will give the humor-challenged some context...:D

Krauthammer's anti-gun opinion from 1996 is absolutely in alignment with his recently expressed disdain for those who have spoken vigorously and protested loudly about the grab for our freedoms that is disguised as "health care reform". He is a denizen of the Beltway and subject to regular...

If OC were legalized in OK, I would probably carry a larger firearm than I normally do since concealment would not be an issue. I would especially take advantage of it during hot weather so I could avoid extra clothing. I would carefully evaluate my itinerary and surroundings while ensuring my...

rogertc1 -- USAA is now open to enlisted ranks and has been since the 1990s because of the reduction in the force structure (i.e. less officers). USAA was a good deal on car insurance until I got a couple of teenage drivers...:what::what:...went to Liberty Mutual and saved a ton. Teenagers...

It is likely that an attempt by a 21st century American to talk to an 18th century American would be an exercise in futility as much as two people speaking different languages. It is further likely that the 21st century American would not be believed if he could even be understood. We are not...

including the local FFL transfer fee of $50.00. :what: Hope that included a kiss and some KY jelly...:evil:

The lawyer that taught the law portion of my CCW class in OK many years ago said carry of more than one handgun at a time was illegal but I have not been able to find it in the law. Must be one of those things that only passing the bar exam allows you to see... Not an issue by me (I think)...

When first applying for my license, the first and second set of prints was rejected. The first was done by a jailer and the second was done by the sheriff himself. Finally, the OSBI called and asked me to come to their facility in Oklahoma City. I have been told that I am tough to print, even...

I have a similar situation to the OP in that I inherited a MAK with a wood stock with the thumbhole grip. Can somebody direct me how evaluate it for upgrades or parts changeouts that ensure compliance? No need for a long explanation (unless you just want to) - - any weblinks appreciated. BTW, I...

As posted by cbrgator: Federalizing the NG is done by the National Command Authority, i.e. the POTUS, not the governor of the state. ArmedBear has the core argument: "people" cannot mean different things in the BOR. However, as to "federalization of the NG for a long time", there is...

I'll be ready to read more on Sunday -- college football season, you know...:neener: Glad you are finding time to write again!

As a survivor of a GSW due to improper gun handling when I was young and dumb (33 years ago), I can clearly relate to the OP's point about focus on the four rules. Due to my negligence, I was able to learn a lesson the hard way -- I would not wish that on anyone. As to the points made by...
