    If you prefer bolt action..Why?

    I dont have any centerfire autoloaders. I am a big fan od lever action rifles but I also have several bolt action guns too. I amy get a semi action one day. It will probably be a 35 Whelen or 30-06 hunting carbine.

    Stupidest things you've ever heard about guns?

    I roll my eyes when I am told a 22-250 does not drop as fast as say a 45-70. There are also a lot of people that believe a 45 auto or even a shotgun can blast a person through a glass window or off of their feet.

    Wall Street Journal: Calls Open Carriers "Bozos"

    Bubba613 what makes the people that openly carry their firearm a bozo? I have my CCW permit but their are times I choose to open carry my firearm. No I am not trying to make a statement or to look cool. I do it because it is more comfortable and because I have that right to. It is bad...

    Taking the plunge...1911 which one

    I would assume you have done your research on the various makes of 1911 style pistols. You should get which ever one you like the look and feel of the most. And you should also take a look of the Colt XSE line of 1911s.

    Anyone ever spray paint a polymer framed gun?

    Krylon makes a spray paint called "Fusion" that is made especially for plastics and polymers. If I was to paint it I would use this type of paint.

    Are lever action carbines really just for fun?

    Lever actions are pretty serious medicine. They are excellent for hunting and are just fun to shoot. I have considered returning to deer hunting this fall after having not been for nearly 20 years. Back then I carried a Rem M700 .270 Classic. I will be carrying either my 45-70 Marlin GG or...

    Good Bear Rifle/Round

    There is a lot of good advice given here. I would use either my 44 mag 94 Winchester or my 45-70 gov Marlin Guide Gun. I would feel comfortable hunting Black Bear withmost centerfire cartridges with at least 44 mag power levels.

    Got pulled over; Officer took my sidearm.

    I feel that at the moment the officer realized you had a weapon he was with in his rights to disarm you during the traffic stop. A lot of officers are killed during traffic stops. There is no such thing as a routine traffic stop for a policeman. It sounded from the story that the officer...

    Plain edged or serrated?

    I prefer fine edged blades. I do have a couple combo edged blades but it is the plain jane edge that does it for me.

    Best three guns (Rifle, Pistol, Shotgun) to have.

    OMG I would absolutely love to have a Blaser LS2 chambered for 300 Win Mag. It is a rifle that is way beyond my skill level not to mention financial means but it is one of the set of 3 that I would choose. Handguns are a tougher choice. I would probably go with a 1911 varient, most likely...

    If you could only own ONE, MODERN, CENTERFIRE HANDGUN, which one, and why?

    I would go with my 5 1/2 inch Ruger Redhawk 44 mag. I know that it would be difficult to conceal but it would best fit my do everything gun.
