Hm, odd. In all the times I've read it I don't remember ever reading about guns in the bible. While it isn't exactly focused on the guns, a great story with a lot of gun fighting and a really interesting take on the old West and Indian hunting is Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.

Revolver- A Ruger Redhawk in .45 colt, 4" barrel with custom bonded ivory grips to match the ones on my Blackhawk. Pistol- I don't really care for auto-chuckers but I used to have an EAA Witness in .45 acp. I traded it away to get my unicorn rifle, but I wouldn't mind picking up one in 9mm...

That's a dead wringer for mine Curator. I would love to have a beautiful scope like that for it but I doubt I'll afford it anytime soon. I imagine that would cost more than the $100 I paid for the gun itself.

I've looked and not seen any threads about these so I figured it wouldn't hurt to start one asking for info. I bought a .45 caliber black powder rifle for $100, had no idea what it was. After researching a bit the internet says it's a replica of a Wesson 1841 rifle. Here's a link to one that...

TV: The opening scene to the first season of Justified when Marshal Raylan Givens talks Tommy Bucks into pulling first so he can be justified in shooting him in self-defense. I also love the way that decision has followed him the rest of what I have seen of the series. I'm almost through with...

I think it bears repeating, as it seems to have been missed by several people, that the man who made this video made it abundantly clear he would prefer to carry his firearm concealed so as not to cause a scene. However, the law does not permit this and only allows open carry on school grounds...

X-JaVen-X, the country you're describing sounds like where my mom grew up out towards Mount Olive way. My grandma still tells the story of the time she answered the door with her rifle because she didn't recognize the car in the driveway and it turned out to be the sheriff in his personal car...

In North Carolina you cannot posses or purchase a firearm while you are under a restraining order, I know because my neighbor was placed under one for a year when he and his old lady had a falling out. She claimed he assaulted her, I was there and he didn't but he didn't fight the restraining...

By way of an update on these bills, from my dad, the majority leader color codes bills from red to yellow to green in order of the bills he is most interested in seeing a vote on. Both of these have moved from red to yellow, we are making progress so keep it up. With a bit more support for...

Well, I've had a lifetime sportsman's license since I was 12, my parents got me a Mossberg 20 gauge pump the same year that I still use to good effect, and I have plenty of friends of the family who are willing to let me hunt their land for doves, squirrel, deer, rabbits, and whatever else I can...

Yes, you are. You are anti open carry. Your reason for this is it is unnecessary. The point we are making is that what is necessary is not your call anymore than it is Diane Feinsteine's call. Nor is this debate about what is necessary, if the law does not prohibit open carry then we are...

Going armed to the terror of the public I will say that we do have a law against this in NC, but that most LEOs don't even know it's on the books and I have never had a problem with it. As far as I know, nobody has ever been charged with it for mere open carry, it is normally tacked on to...

More NC legislation to support. Would you consider it highjacking if I added that while you are supporting this bill you should also support HB 246 which covers the restaurant carry issue, as well as carry in several other locations such as theaters, sporting events, parades, etc. And HB 246...

ilbob, I believe the constitutional amendment you are looking for is called the fourth amendment. Or in other words, I don't think it's a constitutional amendment we need. We already have that. What is needed is for us to actually take a stand based on the rights that are already protected...

I still use my 4" bicentennial Service Six as one of two alternating EDCs. It has never failed me and is easy enough to conceal if I need it.
