Thanks for this thread.

I know I shouldn't be surprised, but doesn't this law serve as a deterrent for seeking help in order to prevent oneself from snapping and going to the mall on a killing spree?

Dan: I was just barely a year old when you got your life membership. Probably gonna go AR to get a little of everything. Thanks for the discussion!

I'm going to go ahead and join the NRA next week, probably with the current 3 year / $70 deal, and I'm trying to figure out which magazine to get. I'm not a hunter, so I have the choice narrowed down to American Rifleman or America's 1st Freedom. I've been able to browse Rifleman at my rifle...

So, standing around watching a coworker get murdered is apparently fun and games? How is standing around watching your fellow coworker get murdered ensuring "the safety of all our employees and customers during a potentially dangerous situation"? I'm going to start asking the various service...

I also do not crimp on the seating die but use a factory taper crimp die. After totally destroying some of my revolver brass (not 45) trying to figure out how to adjust the seater die to seat and crimp, I figured it would be easier for me to just do seating and crimping separately. Also, since...

Old Guy - The best thing to do is to read up on your state's penal code for the acceptable affirmative defenses for homicide. Ascertaining the situation is always a good thing. Even if they both say that all is well, if something doesn't seem right, feel free to let the police sort things out...

I failed MEPS a few years ago and thus have no direct experience with the military. The ideas I have may not be worth following. First, if following the chain of command does not acheive the desired results, would it be possible to speak with an Inspector General or a JAG personnel? Maybe try...

Contender barrel?

I agree with Biker on this one, though it seems like the system actually worked this time.

I just bought a second cordless drill set so I could keep one drill, a couple batteries and a charger down at the reloading bench for sizing / primer pocket reaming (of crimped military brass). I wonder if I could find a handle that would stick out at 90 degrees and have a freely rolling handle...

Lee depriming die?

Ok, if we assume that the article means what it says - that "progressive" candidates will actually stop limiting gun ownership (other than previously convicted violent felons), how is this bad? Please empty your minds of "but they're lying" before answering this. Both sides lie all the time...

I sat down at the puter, almost logged on, then decided that I'd run 50 pieces of 308 brass through the sizing die. Well, 50 turned into 100, then 150, then 200, which when added to the 50 I did as a demonstration to friends last night is half the brass I was given a little time ago. I get...

Now that is some good math. Here's to un-American saving up for what you want!
