I just read this article, which was about a Police Officer coming to Maine to thank Tex Tech for developing the anti-balistics used in his vest. It contributed to saving his life... I say contributed because the article goes on to call out training, videos of officers being saved by the vest...

David Trahan has been hard at work!! http://www.pressherald.com/news/maine-senate-rejects-gun-show-loophole-bill_2013-05-30.html?p=2&tc=pg

So, my take on this is… Once the Brady Bunch says “The 2nd amendment is about the right to protect yourself, NOT a requirement” they can no longer say it is not about self-protection but about hunting. I do not know if this was the intention of the GA town, but I think this is a pretty big...

It looks like our right to confidentiality as permit holders will be law! <see link> Hats off to David Trahan and the Sportsmans Alliance of Maine. He is working his butt off for us. If you live in Maine, join SAM.

Folks and MODS I suspect this thread, although is about 2nd amendment rights and gun ownership it will be short lives as it can get out of hand pretty easily. Also, I have only searched with my iPhone so there may be other threads on the same topic. My comments are how efficiently and easily...

This one is hard for me, even while typing the subject I would never want to stop fighting the fight... but... at the same time I have spent a lot of money over a long period of time with the goal of being able to say at any given time - My point is, if a UBC passes that would allow a record...

Just passing along this information from SAM regarding the committee meeting next week to discuss enacting a law to protect us CCW permit holders. If your in Maine, please reach out to everyone on this list and let them know we are watching and taking notes!! Judiciary Committee Member Contacts...

I had to sell one of my AR's to pay my motorcycle mechanic. Man oh Man, owning an American Motorcycle and NOT being mechanically inclined is expensive!! Anyway, I had a few hundred left over and a sad and empty place in the gun cabinet so I went looking for a .223 bolt action. I came home...

It took a few weeks to get the time nailed down but I finally have a scheduled phone meeting with Senator Collins. I am starting to feel some momentum between our Senators, state reps and the Sportsmans Alliance of Maine... I am hoping we can shelter Maine from any failure at the National...

Hi folks, I have been doing my best to get my local club members and representatives to help squash this (and ANY) proposed gun control. At our next club meeting (Buxton & Hollis Rod and Gun) the executive director for the Sportsman Alliance of Maine will be the guest speaker and he will be...

Hi folks. I am going to be spending 10 days in Madison in March for some work training. I will be there over a weekend and I was wondering if any THR members live in the area and would consider yourself qualified to give me some basic rifleman instruction. I recently purchased a Remington 700...

So... I have said, and hear many times "Guns are not the problem...." "My guns are safe and have never hurt anyone" and other such statements. And I believe them. In my mind, research on what causes gun violence will uncover criminal activity, alchohol/drug abuse and mental issues as the...

Hi gang... So, in all of my infinite wisdome I figure I would setup my DPMS Oracle with my Yukon G1 NVRS for nightime coyote hunting and my M&P 15 for daytime hunting/everything else... Well... I hate being locked into a night time only gun. I had a red dot sight on my DPMS before I put...

Wow... this from a state with no gun laws and no CCW permit required to carry. Unreal... http://www.pressherald.com/news/Gun-range-bans-Burlington-police-after-vote-.html

Hi folks, I am not sure how well received this will be but upon reading the EO's (And they looked like I expected they would) I have to agree with some of them for obvious reasons; Enforce the laws you have... and education of the puplic is always a good thing. The question is... who does the...

Folks, if you do not yet listen to these podcasts you should consider it... Also, both Tom and Michael have supported a continuous barrage of letters, email and phone calls to our representatives... I am on my third week of doing so.... Here is my week three letter... Subject – We will...

Hi all... I went out last night for the first time with my Yukon, Gen 1 1.5x scope on my AR.... The scope worked well when it was just the NV, but with the IR Illuminator on everything washed out. The weather conditions were pea soup thick fog. Is this normal?

I developed very scary and potentially devastating health news this weekend. Tuesday (New Year’s Day) I did what I always do, went to the range to ring in the New Year. I recall that day having some difficulty focusing with my dominate eye. I was wearing my contacts, and this often happens. I...

Hi folks... I want to paint my AR in a camo pattern for the area I coyote hunt. I plan to use one of the paint kits by duracoat, but before spending that kind of money and potentially making my AR look like hell I decided to rattle can paint my $200 Pardner Pump... I stripped the gun down...
