    Posted on Craigs List this evening...

    Some of us are just inclined that way... With me it's limericks. I even wrote a three-limerick (plus two prose paragraphs) valedictorian message for my Citizens Police Academy graduation night. Kinda blew away the group's trainer. I gave him a copy of the whole message. It's going into the...

    How many guns do you have?

    One can never have 'too many' guns... Like a couple of previous posters said, "Not enough." Only five (but carefully hand-picked) in my stable at the moment, but would rather have about 10.:rolleyes::D

    Square deal B - Feedback?

    SDB forever...! I bought mine used and never looked back. (I load primarily .45ACP). Many people start with SDBs and then add another one set up for a different caliber or add a 650 but KEEP the SDB because they liked it. Mine's great and has been reliable with only minor (but simple)...

    The Smirk from Delaware & the Second Amendment A Democratic gun-owner-bashing YouTube

    What a shameful performance... Biden's babbling response was one of the most disorganized and embarrassing verbalizations I've ever seen. CNN did all this on purpose, and I still maintain it was a socio-political "blunder" on their part (though someone here earlier disagreed with my use of...

    Joe Biden is terrible!

    Another television blunder... That was a drastic blunder on CNN's part, selecting the video of the guy with the AR. Not that there was/is anything essentially wrong, as we know, with a guy sporting an AR, but it was drastically stupid to use THAT image to typify the many responsible gun...

    Homemade media.....WOW

    Headline: "Shooter gets creative" God, that sounds right-on!! Neat idea!! Just make sure you can come by these products economically... (buy in bulk?). But that hand-shaking method will get old after a while. Invest in at least a small tumbler. There are used ones out there......

    Bad experience at a gun shop

    How we look is many things... It's not always so much what we're WEARING that tells the tale; it's a matter of how we MOVE and what the flow of WORDS are out of our mouths that reveal our character essentials.

    Are we our own worst enemy?

    MY advice to the "lovelorn"... What I always ask the regretful lovelorn is, "Didn't you know this going INTO the relationship...? Did you discuss it (or not) EARLY ON...?? Did you make any attempt to locate ladies actually interested in shooting via your local range, your competition...

    Are we our own worst enemy?

    I'm a semi-auto kind of gal... All of my guns are semi-auto. :D

    We cry about ammo prices...

    On April 25, 2007 (when I began following the trend) the price of lead per ton was $1,972/ton. By this past week it'd risen to $3,036/ton. :eek: You do the math. It doesn't take much lead to make a ton, as you know. This isn't helping the price of ammo or bullet stock for us reloading...

    Are we our own worst enemy?

    Women shooters are still a bit in the minority... and when I reflect on this I say to myself, "Lord God, how much RICHER ($$$) this industry would be if we just expended a little bit of effort toward recruiting and introducing women to the fine art of the shooting sport--ANY aspect of it. I...

    Best Carry 1911? Good Manufacturers?

    A non-pimp carry gun... I don't know that there's anything "wrong" with Kimber as a carry gun (though there's always someone out there ready to argue the point), but I simply bought an economical Springfield GI Champion--full length grip with slightly shorter barrel than a full-size 1911--to...

    New(ish) Kimber 1911 Owners Sound Off!

    I've had two and they're fine...! I bought a next-to-new Kimber Grand Raptor II last year and it's been great. Accurate, comfortable, reliable--the whole nine yards. Before that (since been sold) I had a nicely tuned Kimber Stainless Target and it, too, was superb. Both guns consume(d) my...

    Women and their prefered method to carry

    Totin' and packin' preferences... Waistband and ankle, where you can readily reach them if need be. Purses just aren't normally secure or convenient places for guns, even though I carry a small purse most days. Even at that, I'm thinking of swapping out the purse thing for a sizeable...

    Do you keep track # times brass is fired?

    Better safe than sorry. In the reloading process I have occasion to peer at the opening of the casing at least twice. Any brass that has splits or cracks of any size gets tossed before it makes it to the press. Lord knows I have enough brass casings on hand for the remainder of my...

    What digital camera do you use?

    What I'm using... A Canon 20D DSLR with three interchangeable lenses: Canon 18-55mm, Tamron 75-300mm zoom, and a Sigma 10-20mm wide-angle. I do architecture, real estate, construction, chamber-of-commerce local color, shooting academy action shots and tabletop product photos (guns 'n knives a...

    Since when did Kimber quaility go down the tubes?

    Chalk up another lucky one.. I had a Stainless Target in .45ACP for about three years and it was flawlessly reliable and never showed unusual wear (or hardly any wear at all) the whole time. Comfortable and accurate. It was (reluctantly) sold to finance a Kimber Grand Raptor II (nearly-NIB)...

    CCW self defense experiences or links

    He's right about Ayoob... 'The Ayoob Files: The Book' is also a good one. Bring a strong stomach. Great book, though.

    And people wonder why I can't wait to leave this city...

    Show me your frickin' badge...!!!!! By that time I'd probably be too pi**ed off to soil myself... (but that was a funny line anyway). One local shooting instructor here sez, "Whoever calls 911 first, wins." A sensible idea, I'm sure. We had a lot of trouble over the past 5+ years here...
