    Seized by the Manchester, New Hampshire PD for Open Carry

    Who knows what the police where told when they were summoned to the book store. Perhaps someone filed a false report that would have led them to believe he was an immediate threat. Maybe they said he threatened customers with his gun, beat up three guys and then went to the Sci Fi section to...

    Seized by the Manchester, New Hampshire PD for Open Carry

    I think if mvpel was dressed in a cop-esque outfit (ala security guard), complete with a duty belt, big honkin' service handgun, cuffs, a nightstick, pepper spray, a radio, and a big badge that said "mvpel private security service[/b]", in not-too-readable flowery script, the sheeple might have...

    Chinese Gun Pics

    ... and thanks for the scans, those were interesting and somewhat mysterious!

    Chinese Gun Pics

    Now this is just freaky-- The title is something like "Youth Science Pictures". I think it may not be a gun rag at all, but a science magazine for teens that did a couple of issues on gun technology (like how Popular Science occasionally has an issue with a lot of military technology in it.)...

    Do you wear camoflauge to the range?

    If you want to be persuasive in public forums, then you've got to play by "their" rules. The point is not to exercise your freedom, the point is to swing the vote your way. If you walk in wearing fatigues and a AR-15 slung over your shoulder, you're going to spook the sheeple and they'll not...

    Do you wear camoflauge to the range?

    Maybe people should wear street clothes over their camo at the range to avoid problems with anti-camo bigots. Like a pair of cell-phone dockers and a polo shirt over woodland BDUs. Camo for your camo, so to speak. My own little secret is that under these clothes I'm completely naked!!

    Stray Cats - Can I, should I shoot them?

    Re: wounding cats Ah, but if you wound the cat, it will take two of his buddies will carry him off, removing three cats from the battlefield. No really, I'm a big softy. I took no pleasure in dispatching the giant rats who where living on my back porch. I would not like to have to pop...

    Chinese Gun Pics

    I was joking, really! It's a Walther made frame joined to a S&W US made slide and barrel. Not a homemade job, but a factory gun. (The polymer frame is stamped "Walther" as well as "S&W") S&W and Walther cooperate to build SW99 pistol This was in response to the comment by Gunner45.

    Yeah, and the S&W slide on the Walther frame... Oh, nevermind :D I remember when I found an airsoft magazine in Taiwan. I had a moment of "Cognitive Dissonance" until I realized they were all BB guns.

    Policy reminder from your friendly campus police

    Better ban sharpened pencils while they're at it, before somebody gets their eye poked out. I also like how booze was banned on campus... but magically appeared in the faculty club.

    "Band of Brothers" gun bloopers

    > the guys with the 1928s shoot hundreds and hundreds of rounds without having to change mags They probably change mags off camera. Notice you never hear toilets flushing (except on "All in the Family"?) If they shoot 30+ rounds without a cut away when they might have done a magazine...

    P-9 covert problems

    The gun does come with a warranty, unless you bought it used. Why don't you send it to Kahr for a free fix? Even if you decide to sell it later it'll be worth more fixed than in its present condition. Mine ran 100% for the first 200 'break-in' rounds and has performed well since. I have...

    When Private Armies Take to the Front Lines

    I see your point, I was thinking about the civilian side 'workers'. For every one civi who's self-motivated and works hard, there's 10 with their feet up on their desk. The only improvement over the last 20 years has been the introduction of computers-- now they can play 12 games of solitaire...

    Thought I was going to have to draw! Close Call!

    Why do so many SHTF stories start with this? Wow, those dumb guys almost picked a fight with an armed, mentally prepared, disciplined man. Reeeeeal smart. The last guy I heard of getting out of his car at an intersection to start a road rage incident ended up in jail. The victim was...

    Anti-Moslem Backlash

    According to some figures I looked up on the Internet, there are about 1 million Muslims in the United States. If only 1% supported terrorism, that would still be 1,000 people. And it would take only one or two to conduct some pretty serious terrorism (take Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols as...

    When Private Armies Take to the Front Lines

    One more comment about contracting vs. Federal employees: Federal employees are almost impossible to fire, or to eliminate their position when it's no longer needed. Federal employees are also restricted from engaging in any lobbying. On the other hand, the government can generally cancel...

    When Private Armies Take to the Front Lines

    Well, all these SEALS/Delta/Special Forces types have to do something after they retire, right? And right now we need them. There is only a handful of elite commando types in the US Military and they are spread thin. Constant deployment and sorry pay probably hurts retention too. I'm sure...

    When Private Armies Take to the Front Lines

    Private security to protect contract workers in a hostile zone isn't new... I knew a guy who was an electronic technician in the Navy on an aircraft carrier in Vietnam. After serving his term he went back to Saigon as a contractor working on aircraft radars. With his salary (a fortune in the...

    Senator Tells TSA: Arm Pilots or Lose Funding

    What's good for the pilots is good for the passengers. And BOXER is pushing for more armed Americans, albeit a select few? Sure you weren't supposed to post this yesterday? :neener:

    Groups target NRA meeting

    Re: the 'violent' NRA Well, they do call my house for donations too often. But to their credit they've never threatened me with violence for not giving more :D
