Can't teach your kids to shoot... sorry guys I haven't read all the posts, but some of the ones I've seen have kept me laughing for a while... that said, I have a couple of instances where ignorance was used as an excuse to not sell me a gun/ammo. For reference, I'm about 7 years older than my...

Well that's bad timing... I'm going to be leaving Iowa about a week and a half before that. Unfortunately, no chance of sticking around for another couple of weeks... Anniversary is on the 22nd, and that is a fight that I couldn't possibly win (and would rather avoid) :p

Just a thought... I'm kind of glad that the casing got stuck where it did (and didn't even allow chambering a round). I'd hate to think of what would happen if it stuck further down the barrel, allowing me to chamber and shoot. Guess there's a lesson in that... I had kind of assumed that any...

Fixed it :) So, apparently, a rim broke off of a cartridge fired in that gun... and the casing (minus the rim) was pushed up into the barrel. That is what was stopping a round from chambering properly. The barrel actually was a fraction of an inch too small. :scrutiny: Thanks for the...

I'm having a problem with a Winchester 190 I recently inherited. On the barrel, it says that it is compatible with .22 S,L,LR. The problem is, when I try to chamber a .22LR, it won't fit - it's just a fraction of an inch too big. I've taken the gun apart and cleaned it thoroughly, and...

No, I don't look like a cop. I look like a nerd... a pretty solid nerd, but a nerd regardless. I'll hopefully BE a cop soon, however. :) Physical qualification on April 6th for Greensboro PD. Wish me luck, guys... I heard GPD is absolute HELL to get into.

It makes me have sweet dreams I fall asleep nightly looking straight down at the front sight... hammer inches from my face. I like it. A lot. :uhoh: When I'm making more money, I will fall asleep with at least 2... or 7... guns within reach upon waking. Yes... oh, yes. :o

Now who will Hillary's VP be...? I would worry more about who the VP on Hillary's ticket will be. Being the first woman president (and a psycho extremist to boot), she puts herself in a dangerous place by taking the throne... err... Presidency. Concentrate on the VP... He/She'll be running...

Frankly, I have no problem at all with a suspected terrorist buying a gun. Now, if a known terrorist buys a gun... well, I just hope the crowd he takes hostage includes a CCW holder... :evil: Alas, thinking ahead to the news teasers... we really need a "Weeps Bitterly" smiley on here, you...

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this one yet, but I'd have to say the "Annihilator 9000" from Beverly Hills Cop (1? 2? 3?). Yeah... that'd get some looks at the range. ;)

Ok, it's official... I've turned green. :p And since a lot of you guys met these women at church, you can guarantee I'll be attending on Sunday. ;) Good catch man... hate that I missed the picture. :rolleyes:

Get this response often?? I've been trying to convice my mom to get a gun and take classes. My parents are a criminal's wet dream. Rich, no alarm system, no vicious dogs, and a 4-10 with a gun lock (whose key is on the other side of the house). And the only asset they have (a 6'5", 385lb...

Well, we got some pretty diverse opinions there. Since everyone else has put their opinions out there, I'll at least follow up with some of my opinions. I can agree or at least empathize with most of what was posted here. I have given this some thought for the past couple of weeks, and I...

Been lurking for a while. :D

Just a question to satisfy my curiosity... at what point would you consider the government that we live under to be a tyranny? I guess what I'm asking is: what would it take for you to actually rebel against our government? Yeah, I realize that this is a dangerous topic, and I've probably...
