    A bias about newbies and sd guns

    Well, I've got my .22lr single shot and have been practicing for a year. I've developed a string of bad shooting habits teaching myself on my .22, but I manage to hit the paper...some of the time. Now that the year is up I'm out to buy myself the latest tacticool 50 cal handcannon. I still...

    The Great Debate: The Mentally Ill and Guns

    and if one takes a behavioral modifying drug how competant is one to manage one's affairs? Similar to the question on the 4473 that asks if you are a user of narcotics or marijuana. Behavioral modifying. The extent of the modification depends on the individual, which is why we should not take...

    Purdue Editorial board re: Concealed Carry On Campus

    Once again Purdue's journalists drop the ball. There's a reason we always called it "The Purdue Excrement" maybe it's time to pull my alumni donations....Purdue has always listened to it's pocketbook more than it's students/graduates (in my experiences anyway)

    Sufficient Backstop and berm, give me your opinion

    It would help to know the state in which you live, but I can add this for your information. I work for a civil engineering design/consulting company (I'm a mechanical engineer, but just can't help playing in the dirt :)) and have recently done such a design for a local private gun club...

    The Great Debate: The Mentally Ill and Guns

    I think you failed to read further in my post and while a cheating spouse may cause an increase in desire to commit suicide, said spouse is in no way, shape, or form prescribed by your doctor as something beneficial to your health. I never said we need to take their guns away. The point...

    The Great Debate: The Mentally Ill and Guns

    Something I don't think anyone has touched on yet is the type of medication one may be on that addresses the mental illness. If I am correct, some medicines for depression can actually cause an increase in the desire to commit suicide in some people. Should those people be allowed to own...

    Kids with guns: 4H

    I was in Shooting Sports in 4H. Now this was at least 17 or 18 years ago, but was a great way to introduce kids to guns as a social hobby. It was also good for familiarizing kids with types of guns they may not have had any experience with. My old man is a die hard revolver guy, so at the...

    Magazine spring life

    thanks for the quick replies...although I shouldn't be too surprised, I guess, as this seems to be the norm here on THR. :) Sounds like it's somewhat of a non-issue.

    Magazine spring life

    I know that loading a mag up and letting it sit is a good way to break the spring in and ease up some of it's tension. I understand the life cycle of a spring and that repeatedly compressing and relaxing a spring will have an affect on it's lifespan. I also understand the affect on a spring...

    HALT -- Who Goes There

    ArfinGreebly, I didn't intend to come off sounding snarky or anything. After re-reading it can very well be interpreted that way, however, honestly it wasn't my intent. I appreciate your response. It did clear the water for me. However, as I type this, an idea has come to me. I don't...
