Eh, I thought it was better than the last time I went out to the Newberry one. I didn't see anything enticing enough for me to buy though.

I don't know anything about that site but it looks like a tabloid and it's an awfully loaded poll question. Probably cooked up with the fact that real or imagined public outrage helps sell papers (or get page views) in mind. :barf:

Don't worry, this has been around for a long time already.

I don't understand what age has to do with being able to carry on campus. The law in most states already restricts carry permits to those over the age of 21. If 21 year old college students aren't sufficiently mature to carry then...raise the carry age? Not all students enter college as 18...

COMPNOR: It's shorthand for a science and technology site called slashdot.

Actually /. is usually pretty pro-gun in my experience. I think the fact that this article was posted so early in the morning our time meant a lot of European commenters, including quite a few who unfortunately decided to attack the evil uncivilized American gun culture which apparently...

Least common denominator mode, engage!

Wow, it took all of 5 minutes for them to say they'd send out another one at no cost, and they declined twice to see my pictures. Makes me a little suspicious that it might have been sent out like that and they'd like to let me believe UPS is at fault. Oh well, at least I'm not out $230...

I'm trying the Cabela's "live chat" right now. What amazes me is that the box was split open right down the middle and retaped. If you wanted to steal it discreetly it would have been much easier to open and retape an end...

It does indeed say 1 of 1. I hope it was insured, the Cabela's shipping scale does go according to price of items instead of weight or volume. This was during their $5 flat rate shipping for orders over $150 though, so I'm sure it was the cheapest they could get. I'm really not keen on...

I ordered an 1851 Navy from Cabela's last week along with a presentation box. When I got the shipment tonight (from UPS), there was a rifle sized cardboard box that had been cut in half and retaped back together. Someone else answered the door and signed for it but I picked it up all of a...

The finish on my wartime 91/30 looked pretty terrible, so I refinished it. I wouldn't worry about decreasing the value of it unless it's something exceptional (Finn, sniper) or the original finish is in really good condition besides a couple spots.

I'm torn on this one. I was always interested in firearms as a kid despite the fact that my parents owned none and I had no first hand experience with them. Even before I was old enough to take the plunge and buy my first, I would often idly and enviously read gun articles on the internet...

I thought the open carry guy they followed around did great, but I have to rant about Bloomberg... He was infuriating with no one to refute his nonsense about dealers being able to conduct mass sales as "private" with no regulation. Even an ATF spokesman could have shot that statement full of...

That poll seems a bit off to me... 47% of non-NRA and 30% of NRA support But 92% and 95% agree that there is a Must be a lot of single action revolver fans in there if they want a handgun but say semi-automatics are assault weapons and must be banned. :rolleyes:
