Nice, now that the populace has been disarmed they can now be abused/murdered at will by agents of the state. Bring this one up next time someone says we'd all be better off if guns were illegal for private citizens to own. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,152600,00.html Eight Cops...

Had my first experience as a competitor in a cowboy match yesterday. I have been postponing it for awhile as I don't have the guns I need but was finally talked into trying it by my buddy who is the cowboy match director at our local club. So with a piecemeal holster rig (thick leather belt...

I find myself ready (with 2 borrowed guns) to compete in the end of the month cowboy match at our local range. I need a gun rig for my pistols though and since money is tight I need a CHEAP beginners rig for a set of Rugers. Anyone got a place where I can get a reasonably priced beginners...

Well, a local radio personality (Bill Mick, 1240AM in Brevard County) had me on his show this morning to discuss issues with electronic voting machines with regards to computer security (my day job is as a network and security admin). I came to his attention because I am a regular caller and a...

Why is this good you ask?? She had a very bad dream about someone trying to snatch the baby (our youngest, 6 months old) in which she had a gun and plugged mr bad guy to protect the boys. She has traditionally been lukewarm about guns in general and a CCW in particular but yesterday after...

Looks like our rights are taking a hit in yet another area, guess it's not just the RKBA that the libs despise. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,124358,00.html KING COUNTY, Wash. — Residents of King County, Wash., will only be able to build on 10 percent of their land, according...

Can you beleive this guy? He's positively foaming at the mouth!! He accuses us of being crazies and then proceeds to rant for EIGHTEEN paragraphs like a complete maniac. I would not want to be anywhere near this guy in real life, he's liable to snap at any moment in my opinion...

Ok, I've been mulling over this possibility for a week or two ever since I first found out about the Civilian Marksman Program surplus Garands. I have wanted to get into rifle shooting for awhile (previously my experience has been with target shooting an old Marlin 35 lever action when I was a...

Ok, I have some cash available now and will shortly have a couple of hundred more so I will finally be able to get a levergun in 45LC for cowboy action shooting. I have been looking at some different brands and have narrowed it down to the three in the title. I own a Rossi shotgun and like...

I bought a used Rossi double barrel coachgun (20 gauge) from an outfit in Texas recently. It was shipped via Fed Ex to my local FFL and when he and I opened the box we found that Fed Ex had slammed it around a bit and busted a chunk out of the stock. The piece broken off is against the buttpad...

I have found a replacement for the Rossi I had stolen from my house many years ago...but now I have a dilemma, they also have the Charles Daly "Liberty II" 12 gauge new in the box for 75 cheaper.... I know daley makes a decent 1911 but I haven't heard anything about their Cowboy guns before...

www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4430761/ Guy shoots someone trying to reposess his son's snowmobile, gets a relatively light sentance for his stupid gun move, and then REQUESTS a longer sentance just so he can go to a prison that allows SMOKING!!! So many bad decisions in this one that it boggles the...

What ever happened to the good old fashioned METAL sixguns we used to play with as kids?? The ones with working triggers that fired the little string caps or plastic caps?? I have been looking around for a set for my son and all I can find is a cheap little plastic noisemaker sixgun + levergun...

I recently was given an old Remington bolt action singleshot chambered fro .22 short that needed some work (had been sitting in a garage for a couple of years). Surprisingly enough the gun was in much better shape than I expected so the cleanup has gone pretty quickly (I will be reaching the...

A friend of mine just got a set of 1851 Navy revolvers (reproductions of course) and stopped by my place on the way to our local rifle/pistol club to pick up the cowboy hat he had left at our place during my birthday party the night before (yay me, I'm 32 :( ). Since my wife and son were both...
