I didn't vote for any of them. . . I own firearms because it is my expression of freedom. I have a safe full of guns that have been shot less than 20 times. . .but by Golly I am free to have as many as I jolly well want. Sure, I hunt, I enjoy blasting at cans on a Sunday afternoon, I carry...

I dunno. . .I've always preferred long barrels on both rifles and handguns. Well, except for SBRs. . .and except for J-Frame Smiths. . .and except for 4" 686/586. . .and I sure do want a 3" 66. . . and except for. . .and except for. . . Heck, I guess I'm in the "barrel phase". . .as long...

Lots. Yes, even when we are not home. Just my wife and me in the house. Not much more useless than an unloaded gun. Each according to his/her comfort level.

Desert Eagle Forum I think this forum has a dedicated Baby Eagle section. . .never have looked since I was only interested in the DE forums.

Yes, that is exactly what I was referring to. . .thnx mom.

I was gonna say I would totally agree. . .except. . . Dogs, cats, typically just pets. Get another one, in six (6) months you'll love it as much as the previous one. Yeah yeah yeah, somebody is gonna throw a fit about that. However. . .if the animal, or animals, in question were some...

This drives me up a wall. Why provide employment, taxes, and income to a state that is *actively* trying to put you out of business? On the other hand, Shooting Industry had a big article on South Dakota last month. . .and how good of a place it is for gun businesses. There are...

I have a CCW, so I fall into the "big time" system category. . .I guess I'm not familiar with this huge registry the .gov has which lists all the guns I own.

Only time I ever sold one. . .met the guy at McDonald's, handed him the 1911, he handed me the cash. We parted ways. I actually get annoyed when people say the seller should check CCW, drivers license, birth certificate, get a bill of sale, go through a FFL, whatever. I have no legal...

In my experience, the priming system is the weakest link on *any* reloading machine with the exception of the RockChucker. I wish I could give you advice on your Lyman, but all I can tell you is that I processed several hundred .223 cases today on my 650 w/o any hitch at all. . .Thank you...

Yup. . .I picked up a .338RUM 700 awhile back. Three shots and I am getting a headache, even with plugs and muffs both. It is a nice accurate gun, and I'm sure it would anchor down anything in North America and a big part of Africa, but it sure isn't a fun gun.

Yup, way too fast. . .but sure would be nice if it were possible!

On an intellectual level, I know most cops are good, *honorable* people. But I tend to view law enforcement in the same light law enforcement views the public: assume they are out to get you, be pleasantly surprised when you are wrong.

I'm a sucker for 70s. I just bought my first 700 (338 UltraMag), and it isn't too bad! I still like the 70 better. . .but I'd take either of them in a heartbeat over an A-Bolt :barf: But that's just me

Mrs. Jack T and I will be there. . . we'll try to hold Friday evening open.
