I'm willing to hunt, but not terribly interested I've hand-killed food with a knife (chickens) and with a .22 (domestic rabbits) and killed pests (raccons and me... are not friends) but never had the opportunity to hunt. I was invited on a dove hunt a couple years back; when I found out that I...

Didn't you know that it is impossible to hit someone who is standing on one hand? It is one of the Rulz of Movie Gunfights, and explains why Trinity did all those cart-wheels in the lobby in the first Matrix movie. I can shoot just as accurately while standing on one hand* as I do while...

S&W Mod. 640 Hammerless.... what a great gun. 5 shots and hides in a pocket or belt holster or even a shoulder holster... Nice. http://firearms.smith-wesson.com/store/index.php3?cat=293555&sw_activeTab=1

I think it is a Safariland... At one of the few Beef Jerky ...er, Gun Shows that I've gone to, I found a nice leather case that looked like it was designed for a large folding knife or some sort of gadget a cop might carry. Two speed strips and one speedloader fit in perfectly. Slow as anything...

Shuttle "Deorbit" burn and flight path That radar loop that was caught by the earlier poster... wow Here is the original planned flight path.

Hmmm... bugs and turkeys Three turkeys strolling across in front of the berm. Deer grazing along the tree line 100 yards away from a range full of people shooting M1s Guy managed to shoot a carpenter bee out of the air with a .44 mag. The bee was sort of hovering in front of him for the...

But... but... but... I was just using a proper noun! Okay, maybe it was an IMPROPER noun, but it was what we were called in the navy. :( The odd thing is that the filter put in 4 "unnecessarilyrudelanguage" thingys in place of one 4-letter word, making it look like I'd used 4 4-letter...

Hmmmm. Last stats I saw, most of the people listening to Hip-Hop are paleskins... maybe the music and the culture are different beasts... I'm no expert. But in rural Massachusetts, the kids driving around in lowriders are all white... they do the whole schtick, with the baggy jeans, hats...

There were a heck of a lot more than 20 of us there... I'd already posted my ceremonial Last Post, and refrained. There were about 150 people visiting just before midnight. Final Count From TFL: Members: 17,850, Threads: 145,927, Posts: 1,344,892 End of an era. Let's do like Rich said...

Gordon, people really do get killed this way Nothing like the damage from drunk drivers, natch... in fact, pretty small numbers of injuries, but I still wouldn't want to be in the area where these things are falling: http://www.beloitdailynews.com/1200/gunn30.htm There is a slightly...

...see the world I joined out of high school in '78. High asvabs, was told that I could basically have anything but nukes (bad math) so joined with no set job in mind. Halfway through boot I was called to review dreamsheet, select job... when interviewer heard I was colorblind, he circled...

Close as most people can get to raw news feed: http://news.google.com/ You can drill down as far as you want... no slants, just feed. -J.

I've got a sneaking feeling that I'm going to be at TFL Around midnight, saying good-bye, raising a toast.

:what: Swiped from this site...

S.M.Spiff: Of COURSE you can... :D merely a hyperlink click away... :D :evil:

2dogs Just take a deep breath, everything will be fine. :p The Firing Range has been compared to a few folks sitting in rocking chairs in front of a nice fire... quiet, only slightly "rocky," and small. When you need a quiet place to hang out, drop in and see us. Oleg thanks for the...

Tim, someday when I'm solvent (HA!) I'm going to buy some ammo from you just so I can say I've got some. :p :p :p :p

Small boats, big boats Boats: I was on a sub tender, so that would explain a lot of the difference. There were guys on my boat that did weapons... the nuke guard team. We had subrocs below decks. One night, I was quietly waxing the mess deck and this very agitated squad of guys with...

I probably wouldn't kill it unless I had to; But for non-firearm weapons, my first choice would be my trusty machete. Among firearm choices, shotgun would be the one I'd reach for. -J.

I've found it common for people to think that everyone who has been in the military has had combat training. I was in the Navy, and got some stock control training, and a lot of OTJ training as a Mop Jockey. In Starship Troopers all troopers were fighters; I've heard that the Marines say...
