So I went to the dentist last week, thinking I had a cavity because one of my teeth was very sensitive to cold liquid, brushing, etc. :what: Turned out that tooth, and the ones on either side of it, had lost some enamel and exposed some of the soft guts of the tooth which was causing the...

My parents were born in England, most of my family are still there, and I'm a dual Canadian/British citizen. The common folk over there are horrified about the situation they are forced to live with every day now, and still there are some people who think passing more laws will solve the...

0%, only have 3 rifles, 2 pistols, european milsurps. But I just started buying 'em 2 years ago, so give it time and it will all balance out. Well said. I believe 150 years ago Europeans were annoyed at fellow citizens who were unpatriotic and purchased goods from America, because stuff...

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "babes in arms", eh?

This is absolutely tragic. :( It's also a sobering lesson that kids can get to your guns if left unattended, so it's imperative that they be taught good safety and handling skills as early as possible so that they understand what guns are and that they can be dangerous if not handled...

Ditto.

I bought a couple thousand rounds of ammo a month ago so this will cover that expense, and the rest will go into savings.

I understand where you're coming from, that the muskets in question were made "by them, for them", and by extension, were used to further the cause of Islam in some respect. But it doesn't matter which nation made them, guns by themselves are just tools - it's the people who use them that...

I'll never understand why some person will go into a school and murder people they've never met. My god. I feel so terrible for the victims and their families. I'm back in college myself and the more this sort of thing happens the more nervous I get. I own a pistol, but don't dare bring...

I would personally lean towards stocking up on ammo if I had to choose. If ever a Katrina-esque state of emergency happened in my area I could only fire one of my rifles at a time anyway, so I'd prefer to have plenty of ammo for one of them, instead of buying 3 more new rifles but have...

Deleted - double tapped.

Thanks for the comments, glad you guys liked it. You don't because you can't. :p When I wrote the first draft of this story I was using a Mosin-Nagant, which can be decocked. Then I got an SKS for Christmas and put that in the story instead, but I forgot to take that line out...

Hey Guys and gals, I'm a member of an online writing group and occasionally we'll have "writer's duels". Basically someone will give a set of parameters and we all have a week to write a short story about it. A cuople of weeks ago there was a challenge requiring the following elements...

So the guy blows his balls off because he wanted a handful of cash and ONE pack of smokes? What is it about risk vs. reward that criminals don't understand...?
