I did not know that - interesting piece of gun trivia that is now floating around in my mind ready to be used at the first opportunity to make me sound smart. :D

Where have you been for the last nine years? Yes, I do think Jesus would be happy to know that we are applying the old eye for an eye in the case of a "religion" that wants to kill us simply because we do not believe in their form of religion. How stupid is that? And thanks for putting words in...

I kind of like the idea that Trijicon products inscribed with the Word are sending Haji to meet the 72 Virgins. It would only be better if they dipped 'em in bacon grease before selling 'em. :D

Pretty sure I got some ammo boxes at home that say ".357 Remington Magnum"... i'll d/c tonight when I get back to the mancave. :D

He's gonna kill her. Mark my words. That's, um, loony. Next time he'll say "I thought it had a blank in it" - while that "justification" won't keep angry husband out of jail, he thinks it will mitigate the circumstances. maybe it will, maybe it won't. but she'll be just as dead.

(This is where I blow up my chest, stand on my soapbox, and thump my chest...) I go through well over 10,000 rounds a year in practice, and easily 1/2 of that again formal training programs. True, though, I have no idea whether most police do the same - I'm only guessing. Nothing scientific...

Oh Jesus - not again. Nobody is gonna agree on this topic - one side will infer the other side is a bunch of nancy boys and the other side will say the other side is somehow being less patriotic, moral, bla bla bla. Me? I'll carry anywhere not prohibited by law. If somebody has put up a sign...

I have all of 'em - 10-shot S&W 617 hands down.

means that the Schaumburg code does not take the place of the Cook County code when it comes to 'assault weapons' and 'assault ammunition'. whatever the hell those are...! So, no, it looks as if you're stuck with whatever stupid Cook County code exists. I'm not too far down the road from you...

I hope nobody takes my comments as cop bashing - that's not the case. So you held a job for 25 years and stayed out of trouble? Me too. Nobody said you had to do it - and before you get your hackles up, I did if for three years. It was not something I wanted to do forever, so I did something...

Good one. I had a conversation in a bar a few years ago with some folks about concealed carry and one of the guys (whom I did not know) was a cop. He used the same argument that you use above. I laughed in his face and told him that I was better trained and spent more time around firearms...

You might not be able to protect him - let's say that something really bad happened and your gun blew up and put out the eye of the kid standing next to you. $2,000,000 later, after countless surgeries, the insurance company is gonna want somebody to pay. Even if you were mum on the subject...

LEOSA is simply yet another example of two sets of laws - one for the sheople and one for those that want us to "respect their authority". I see zero reason why a retired law enforcement officer should be able to exercise additional rights that a mere civilian cannot.

I got a 12-step program running over at my place - come on over tomorrow and we'll get you to work cleaning all of mine. In 12 weeks or so you'll be cured. :D

Each state is likely going to be different - in the State of Illinois, there is a specific statue that forbids anyone other than LE or a DNR employee from putting down an injured animal. I can't say that I've ever seen anyone prosecuted for it, but it's definitely a no-no in Illinois. Too lazy...

Did you ride your bike out there or did your mom drop you off? bwwwwwaaaaahaahahahahahaahaaaaaaahahahahahaah. heh. Sorry, couldn't resist.

I'm pretty sure the hunting camp would have had a terrible accidental fire as a result of the mantrap had I stumbled across it. Oh, the horror...

I say do it - it's not like you have a priceless specimen that will lose value if you refinish...

I'm fairly certain that I've seen "Hi, my name is X, and I am a new hire at Botach and my goal is bla bla bla" more than once. I personally experienced difficulties with Botach years ago - and have heard the same from many people online. I know where I won't shop.

well... that's one marketing strategy, i guess. should come as no surprise then that some folks aren't going to shop at GA. there are plenty of folks that will purchase at the local big box or the local gun store. they're paying the higher price because of the convenience, because of gotta...
