    I'm so tactical that when I wear camo, even I don't know where I am.

    Anyone Ever Have Buyer's Remorse After Buying a New (or Used) Gun?

    A long time ago I bought a Stoeger Luger 22LR. I also bought a Charter Arms DA 22LR revolver. I regretted buying those. I don't have them anymore.

    N-prize

    Unless the projectile itself has some propulsion to adjust the orbit once it got to orbital altitude, wouldn't the orbit intersect the atmosphere making the first orbit also the last?

    Rural Defense

    Before you post signs, consider how the sign would appear in court if you ever had to shoot someone. Would it tend to persuade a prosecutor to go after you? What would a jury think? "NO TRESPASSING" is fine, but not "TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT, SURVIVORS WILL BE SHOT AGAIN."

    Tuck gun into waistband, gun goes boom. Common?

    HK P-7 for Mexican carry? Release the squeeze cocker and stuff it in the pants, no problem. Even squeezing the cocking mechanism with the trigger pulled is no problem, you have to release the trigger to get it to reset. I've carried it that (3 o'clock position) and with a belt it's reasonably...

    Glossary for new shooters

    Now there's a link. In Quick Links: Glossary click goes to Glossary in the table of contents. In Table of Contents: There is now a link to the glossary front page. Looks like you've been working. Both work to get to the table of contents. I haven't spent enough time to evaluate the...

    Any GOOD books on history of gun control.

    Gun Control by Robert J. Kukla It's available used on Amazon. Full Title: "Gun Control: a written record of efforts to eliminate the private possession of firearms in America." Copywrite 1973, so it's not up to date with recent events, but it's a good book on the subject.

    Glossary for new shooters

    Glossary link from main? I'm using Windows XP 2000 with Mozilla Firefox. I can't find a link to the glossary from the main page. The Quick Link takes me to the Glossary chapter but there is no link from there to the Glossary itself.

    Best/worst Gun AUTHORS (of fiction)

    Don Pendleton - Executioner series I quit reading the series, which wasn't that gun savvy, when Mack Bolan, the hero, was using a Marlin lever action in 444 Marlin for long range. Gun descriptions were OK, but usage didn't fit. Prepare to suspend all scepticism when reading the books. I...

    **Favorite Firearms Quote?**

    Lastly, classic definitions ... and multiple choice. 1. A Democracy: Three wolves and a sheep voting on dinner. 2. A Republic: The flock gets to vote for which wolves vote on dinner. 3. A Constitutional Republic: Voting on dinner is expressly forbidden, and the sheep are armed. 4. Federal...

    I've owned a ton of 9mm autoloaders >>

    Glocks point high for me... I'll admit I haven't fired a Glock. I've been looking at them in Sportsman's Warehouse and if I hold the Glock out with my eyes closed and then open them, it's pointed way high. Just about every other semi-auto is close to right on. YMMV. If not for that, I...

    Principal May Be Charged in Cat Killings (shooting)

    Feral cats? If these were feral cats, it would not be easy to catch them and almost impossible to tame them. I have seen feral cats and I couldn't get within 10 feet of them. I would never try to catch one with my hands. Even if that is the case, he could have called animal control...
