    Blanks + New Year = dumb

    Remember: Blanks Can Kill [1] I wouldn't have handed blanks to someone for this. No way. No how. Let 'em buy there own where I don't get named in a lawsuit. ** [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon-Erik_Hexum

    Your favorite toy gun.

    Imagine this: A rifle that shoots racecars across the floor. I was a child of the 70's and this was my absolute favorite "toy gun" as a child: http://images.google.com/images?gbv=2&hl=en&safe=off&sa=1&q=ricochet+racers&btnG=Search+images&aq=f&oq=&aqi=&start=0

    Ever Get The Feeling Antis Want a Global Ban

    Global? They want a *universal* ban. If the planets surrounding Rigel have firearms, the anti folks want 'em gone.

    Both Eyes Open?

    No can do for me. If I focus on the sights, I have 2 targets (seeing double). If I focus on the target, I see 4 sites (2 x front, 2 x rear). How the heck does anyone get past that? Am I weird or does everyone have this doubling when using both eyes?

    Concealed Handgun Permit Holders Kill 7 Police, 44 Private Citizens Over Two-Years

    The only good statistic I'm looking for to counter this is answered by this question: How many innocent citizens were killed and injured by a LEO with a gun. I'm quite sure that those who are paid and trained to use a gun, those who are so-called "professionals", those who most citizens...

    I feel I have to post this-new CMMG product

    ==> I love the graphic on the back "1) open can" "2) receive bacon". Most of us in the US have seen this graphic before: http://rickleephoto.blogspot.com/2005/09/push-button-receive-bacon.html

    Ever hear of the DDTC? This is why ammo is so expensive!!!!!

    ==> So sig2009, you have never taken Econ 101 have you? So you've never lived in the US have you? Or you've been living with your head in the sand? ==> In a free market ... Here's your first clue: WE DON'T LIVE IN A FREE MARKET. As evidenced by the original post, the DDTC is...

    Is your 1911 going hungry?

    While I have plenty of food for mine, they're on a severely restricted diet. I can't find anything. Nothing at all. .45? Nope. 9mm? Nope. .32 Nope. .40? None. .38/.357? All gone. The only thing I've been feeding lately are the .22 pistols and a couple of shotguns. Still (for now) available...

    What does it mean to "qualify"?

    ==> lots of guys wouldn't shoot at the 4 300 yard pop ups cause that would leave them second shots for the other 36 targets so they could have a better chance at qualifying as an expert Our popups (ca. 1987 (ish)) were green. The same green as the field grass and the woodline behind the...

    Is a gun always loaded?

    A gun is *always* loaded ... even when it's not. I don't care if you just checked it. I don't care if you just re-cheked it. It's not "treated" ... "as if" ... or "like" it's loaded. It **IS** loaded. Period. End. Of. Story. *** Too many stories along the lines of " I ... I...

    Are Antis Enemies

    ==> Freedom to hold a contrary opinion is fundamental to our American way of life. Freedom to hold a contrary opinion is one thing. Enacting laws -- laws *contrary* and *in violation of* the very document, the US Constitution, that grants them the powers to enact said law, even after swearing...

    What do you take to the sandbox?

    Things I couldn't live without when I was in the field: One can never have/store/bring enough pogey bait. (Do they still even use that term? I got out in the 1980's and have been out of touch for quite a while.) For me, absolutely essential were some cheap Dr. Scholl's orthotics for arch...

    Good Samaratan, CCW, takes out Bad Guy FL

    ==> Wonder if Buger King is going to pay his medical bills? ==> Depending on where he was shot this guy is going to have medical difficulties the rest of his life. Is BK going to compensate that? I gotta disagree with that entire line of questioning. Sure, it would be *nice* if BK...

    Your Evil firearm buying

    I didn't see an entry for "EVIL black shotgun with a pistol grip, barrel shroud, folding stock and other EVIL, soon-to-be-unauthorized accessories". I already *had* (for several years, some of 'em decades) everything else on the list that I'm ever gonna buy. Was just missing a SCARY EVIL...

    ? Waranty work: FFL needed ?

    General question: Do I need to ship through a FFL licensee (whatever they're called) if I have to ship a handgun back to the manufacturer for waranty or recall type work on the gun? Got caught up in the PPK recall from S&W (...

    How is the mania in your part of America?

    Dad asked me to check on AKs while I was at the range today (it's a gun store and a shooting range). Funny. He's a "cowboy gun" kinda guy -- him asking about an AK is ... well ... it's downright ridiculous. I picked up a cheap Romanian WASR 'bout 2 years back from this place for $350. Tax a few...

    Accidental Discharge Experience

    ==> I just don't know of any other way to prevent this from being a possibility again. Sure ya do. We all know it. Rule #1: "The gun is *always* loaded ... even when it's not." We have these rules because ... well ... it's the only way to stay safe. We all know it. You know it too -- ya...
