I haven't posted here in several years. I thought I'd stop back and see what's going on - in light of recent events. I'm still a gun owner, not as active a shooter lately, but I value my freedom even more now than when I was an active poster here before. To answer the original question...

Yep. I've already thought of this. Ayn Rand, John Ross, Claire Wolfe and Matt Bracken titles, along with a stack of gun rags might have to go into storage - at least until this storm blows over. Heck, I think I'll even dispose that half brick of firecrackers left over from the 4th of July...

Due to time constraints, I can't give all the details of our past history, but let's just say that reconciliation will never happen, and I'm not "running down" anyone here. I'm only asking for advice to protect myself. If you and your family are ever terrorized in a road rage situation to...

ATF, BATF, BATFE, or whatever they call themselves these days... Like I said, I haven't been on the High Road enough to keep up lately. Yeah - the "brake check" was tempting, and would have been employed if my family wasn't in the vehicle with me. :evil:

Long time, no posting in a while. Good to be back on the High Road. I have a neighbor I used to be good friends with, but over the past year or so, things fell apart between his family and mine (long story). Recently, I was driving on a country backroad with my family when his 18 year-old...

DOH! I knew I should have checked some of those places. I've been away from the "gun scene" for a few months because I've been pre-occupied with martial arts training, and I've forgotten everything... Thanks for the replies, guys. I feel welcomed back here after being absent for a while...

My friend asked me to find a standard capacity (14rd.) magazine for his Smith&Wesson 9mm. It's a model 459 with what looks like a stainless satin finish. The factory magazine is stainless also. I don't know much about S&W autos, except for what I described above. I called the local...

ROFL!

I'll be snickering and smirking the rest of the day after reading this... :evil:

Yep. Ironic isn't it? I'd be willing to bet that most Hollywood actors own guns and shoot regularly - on-screen and off - but will step on each other's toes to get in front of the cameras when the Million Moron Moms come to town. It's because they care about the children, right? No, it's...

If his past criminal acts make him too dangerous to own guns, then why in the hell isn't he locked up in prison? If he served his time for past crimes and presents absolutely no danger to the public, what's the big deal? I especially don't like the fact that he has performed abortions...

Seems like a pretty funny guy on the video. He really knows how to ham it up in front of the camera. I bet his commercials are humorous. Sounds like a (somewhat) clear case of self-defense to me. I'd be interested in seeing the records of the people who blocked him in and confronted him...

Not really a name, but I've thought about engraving this on the dust cover of one of my AK variants: "Tyrannicida" -Latin for "slayer of tyrants".

griz, Thanks for the good advice. There's a creek right next to where I shoot. Maybe I'll find a good spot to soak 'em overnight, go back the next day, bind them up and blast away. I want to keep this as controlled and scientific as possible, so a tape measure and notes are a great...

I just shot a .50 for the first time today. It was an Armalite AR-50 that belongs to my friend's brother. Recoil was much lighter than I expected but the muzzle brake sends back quite a shockwave...(I'm serious about that much). ...it was so powerful that every puppy and grade school-age...
