    Are there still savings in shotgun shells?

    Digging up a little bit of an old thread here... but I'm in the same boat. Someone mentioned buying components on the cheap in bulk; Where can I find some of this stuff? Shot around here is ridiculously priced; so much so that I've forgone getting into shot shell reloading. I have thousands...

    To change things up, I'll go from the bottom up... How is this punishing victims of theft? What it is doing is, #1 allowing the police the earliest opportunity to investigate the theft and hopefully apprehend the perpetrator BEFORE your gun is used in a violent crime. #2, making an...

    So you're saying that some sort of cost for a mandatory safety training program is denying people their right to own a firearm? Much like required safety training for hunt is denying people the ability to hunt? That's ridiculous. In my state, a two day CPL class runs around $100-$130; wrapped...

    Um... yes. And data would confirm the drivers training that most drivers go through do increase safety on the public roadways. Also, many states do not allow persons who aren't citizens or here on a visa to obtain licenses. You also have to take a basic test in most states to obtain a...

    So you believe safety education is important... just not important enough to make it manditory. Difference here is that in almost 100% of circular saw accidents, the operator is the one who is injured; unfortunately this isn't the same for firearms accidents. The problem here is, there are...

    Don't think I'm arguing, but more along the lines of debating... Carrying a gun in the open in public is taboo. That's why you get the reactions you get. Is it right that it's taboo or that people aren't comfortable? No, but the fact is... they are. And when such a TINY percentage of the...

    If it were local PD, did you go to your state law enforcement? Attorney General? Governor's office? Seek legal counsel? There's a trend I'm getting at here... if you feel you have a reasonable complaint and you don't exhaust all methods available to get resolution... you shouldn't be...

    I must correct you on the above misunderstanding... Posse Comitatus is very much alive and well. For the last 20 years the only domestic operations title 10 federal active duty troops have conducted are with the various JFT's (Joint Task Force)... which is drug smuggling operations and that...

    Although it is my opinion that open carry in populated area's is inviting trouble, or in the very least... attention, no one should be harassed for doing so when it is legal. This is one instance where I understand what your talking about; My state makes no laws regulating the open carry of...

    I'm guessing that's with accessories. Figure about $900 for the rifle, add an ACOG or EOTECH, some extra mags, a vehicle mount/lock, spare parts for the armorer... maybe some cases, perhaps some simunition kits...

    I hate to say it, because I really dislike them... but the ACLU loves to sue the government... and if it's law enforcement, even better. That aside, if you have a good case, some lawyers will work for a percentage of what the verdict awards you. I think you misunderstand me... I'm not...

    Hmmm... looks like I got this quote thing working. It's a bit different here; in my experience there's usually a button on the individual posting... you click that, it quotes the whole post with the name of the person you are quoting, time a date they made the post. Anyway, irrelevant...

    Well, I don't know what happened but I'd replied then suddenly my computer did something, changed pages and I lost it! That has to be the most aggravating thing that can happen when on a forum!!! Any-who... I've not yet figured out how to quote; There's a button on every other forum I'm on...

    I'm posting a reply to Ravon's mention of the 1033 program and the article that misrepresented the extent of the program. First, I'll give you a little break-down of the way things work. The 1033 program is a federal military surplus redistribution program; there is a large number of items...
