    Hypothetical - You find authentic Bill of Rights documents

    Let me guess, the documents would be in 12 point times new roman? Perhaps Calibri? :D At least there you'd wouldn't have issues of a variable spaced font being supposedly typed on a mono-spaced typewriter. :rolleyes:

    Pizza Hut coming around, or no?

    CajunBass, I saw before/after pictures for a woman who took a shotgun blast to the face from her husband/boyfriend. He then went out and (successfully) committed suicide. She lived. She's essentially had a face transplant, but she survived. A *GOOD* headshot, IE one to the brain, will...

    Should There Be More Proficiency Test Requirements for CCW?

    Personally, I think this is mostly a solution seeking a problem. IE is there a rash of CCW holders shooting things/people they aren't supposed to? Is it at a rate higher than the police? No? Why would they need more training? Personally, I'd teach firearm safety and basic marksmanship in...

    Why I hope Schwarzenegger signs the ammo bill

    By all evidence, the number of gun owners isn't dwindling at all.

    Pet Peeve about guys who carry and dont seem to realize they are wearing a gun.

    I mostly bang into stuff just because I'm a clutz, doesn't matter if I have a hip holster or not, I bang my hip fairly frequently.

    How traceable are bullets?

    Cops are after criminals. Criminals are normally dumb. The smart ones generally aren't caught. Cops can often catch a criminal just by asking questions, the criminal will eventually trip up over the lies. Heck, many just confess. Assuming the average criminal will know to have a couple...

    Gun Cleaning: Bore Snake vs Cleaning Rod, WHich Do You Prefer?

    I think the trick is that boresnakes have so much surface area it doesn't really matter - it's going to be a while before the back end is significantly dirty. That and most of them are washable. If you don't want to wash, buy a new one every so often.

    This is not an anti walmart thread just a question about something going on

    Some wallyworld clerks punch in the birthdate for those age verification checks. Are we sure they punched in the DL# and not the BD? I'd imagine that it'd be much more complicated - my DL number has characters in it and is much longer.

    Loading a Magazine all the way vs -1 round to ensure reliability?

    I too follow the philosophy that a magazine should be able to reliably be loaded with it's stated capacity; by the same token if I buy a '15 round' magazine but can shoehorn a 16th round inside, I don't expect the magazine to function correctly - or even last. By the same token, a sign of a...

    How to prevent killing sprees

    Ed, you have a point, but so doesn't Blackbeard. A serial killer, normally only kills 1 person at a time, and normally has quite a delay between killings. A spree killer, once they've started killing, normally doesn't stop and resume a 'normal' life before killing again. They normally...

    30-30 Lever vs Wondernine for Homedefense? (over penetration not an issue)

    I have to agree with the others that think a short lever action carbine in .30-30 would generally be HIGHLY effective in a self defense scenario. I would simply use a high quality hunting bullet, I wouldn't worry about looking for hollowpoints or anything. Hunting softpoints are designed to...

    Hardware Store Robbery

    On the fingerprints - even if they did so, assuming you came up clean why would they bother? If you don't have any priors, warrents, aren't a disallowed person for firearm possession, they wouldn't have anything on you.

    Young Marines Student Suspended......edited

    I just wish that the there were more followup stories along the line of 'After incident XYZ, inflicting unsuitable punishment on a student for no real reason at all, Principal A and Teacher B have been laid off'.

    45-410 pistol

    The .45 would be better. Save the .410 shells for snakes.

    Considering this, what would be your next purchase?

    I'd have to go with the AK47; I already own at least an equivalent to everything else. Not a bad list though.

    Overly hyped and overly redundant cartridges

    Quite a few worse rounds, I think. The .40S&W is a pretty good 'compromise' round between 9mm luger and .45ACP. For whatever reason, it's got quite a following with police departments and individuals. Compare that with the .45GAP, the 'short-mag' of handguns. A casing only slightly shorter...

    Overly hyped and overly redundant cartridges

    I'd list the .45 GAP long before I'd ever consider listing the .45 ACP.

    Gun laws in the US

    I suspect this is a driveby posting, but I'll respond anyways. First, you do realize that the 'gun show' itself sells nothing but maybe floor space and entrance tickets? It's no different than other swap meets. They have them for jewelry, farm equipment, produce, etc... So the 'Gun Show'...

    Should a shooting test be a requirement for concealed carry?

    My thought as well. Teach it along with Safe Sex and Driver's Ed. I'm waiting as well. From my understanding, bad shoots by CCW holders, in a situation where they wouldn't have been carrying without the permit, that would have been reasonably preventable by training is zero. IE It's not...
