The Punisher. Cobra soldier (bad guys from GI Joe). Hellboy. The Joker (with polished slide glock with silencer and extended mag) Seen both of those done pretty well in the past. Also seen some impressive HALO costume pictures from gamer conventions.

Being a non-criminal 32yo in Washington State, I could probably get a CHL pretty easily... but I haven't. My wife is still very uneasy around firearms. I'm happy she's gotten used to the idea of having some in the house, but they stay under multiple locks and unloaded at pretty much all...

Seattle's cutting back on patrol, and King County S.O is having to cut 70-some deputy positions to balance their budget. While I think the speed of things took us all by surprise, folks have known for a while now that oil is going to keep getting more expensive, as the remaining reserves are...

Seenterman, I'm right there with ya... and the more that Democrats come to associate people who like guns with people who call them names and assume they're idiots, the less we're going to see Democrats who are interested in preserving gun rights. I come to places like this for information on...

I believe the French do as well... but also know that by saying this I'm opening the thread up to the possibility of lots of jokes about used rifles...:rolleyes:

In answer to the question(s) about the cause of shooting: So far as I can tell, there was a fight, this guy reached for a gun in an ankle holster, there was a struggle over the gun resulting in a single shot fired... went through the nose of the guy fighting over it (not the shooter, but the...

Bit off topic, but speaking to the right crowd... I'm looking to buy a cheap used original stock from a Hi-Point carbine, if any of you have swapped out yours and don't want the original anymore. Drop me a line at [email protected] if you've got one you're wanting to unload. Frankly...

Thanks for the recommendation. Turns out they do price-matching too, which helps, especially given that I have to do two-day shipping (which itself costs as much as the 'economy' batons I'm replacing did).

Suggestions on the best place to order an ASP or autolock or comparable baton? Had one of the cheapies and it fell apart in use... NOT GOOD! Now need a quality replacement ASAP, so looking for the right balance of good price and reliability. Heard too many bad stories about Botach, for...

No! Tell us more!

I work in low-budget indie films and theatres, doing fight choreography, gun wrangling, and renting prop weaponry. Yes, when you have a Hollywood buget, you can get guns modified with restrictors (and different feed ramps, mags, springs, etc) to cycle blanks. Or you can use a revolver or a...

cmidkiff I feel your pain- I felt the same way about John Carpenter's "Vampire$", which only stayed remotely true to John Steakly's book for about the first five minutes, then had absolutely nothing to do with it. Also agreed about the shakey editing- hated it in the second movie, although it...

All depends on how they word it, I suppose. One current requirement to qualify as a blank gun is that it can't be readily converted to fire any projectile, however, so I don't think it'd be covered. If you're interested, though, just check around and see what the UK's done, or Australia, or...

My counter-vote would be for aemma.org, or selohaar.org, the Chicago Swordplay guild... well, in case you haven't figured it out, it depends in large part on where you live, but if you go over to swordforum.com and ask around, it shouldn't take long to get all the answers (and as with anything...

For what it's worth, we met in Indiana... I don't mind granola eating bike riding hippies. No problem at all. I'm pro-recycling. I just don't see why you can't believe in the responsibilities of both the society and the individual. What's wrong with liking to recycle both your aluminum...
