When I was young I was sure I knew everything...now that I'm old I can't remember if I know everything or not. :evil:
GUN STUFF: Who's right Jack O'Connor or Elmer Kieth?
This is how it's done
The polls closed at 2000 hrs. here today and the Louisiana Secretary of State has reported this result on his website.
Look at the margin of victory and tell yourself that your vote won't matter.
Dr. Fleming (R) is the man we needed in this race.

About one week after Katrina hit N.O. hurricane RITA devastated much of west and central Louisiana. Whole Parishes were wiped off the map. The major difference was that there was no political hay to be made from it.
People dug in and went to work helping their neighbors and themselves so the...
My questions are designed with an eye to helping a man who intends to survive a lethal encounter in his own home if necessary. While there are many considerations I'm going with what he has presented so far.
Provided the user is familiar enough with his weapon to run it safely and effectively...
That seems to be a sound combination as far as it goes. But it disposes of much less power than the 686P in .357 mag. with COR-BON ammunition.
No handgun is to be depended upon for the fabled " one shot stop " and to trade the .357 mag. performance level for that of the .380 is a huge step...
Hey, burr00
Your question can be more complicated than it at first seems. It's more about the immediate incapacitation of an assailant than lethality, and which cartridge in which caliber is most suitable.
Do you expect to carry concealed or keep it at home or both? You will probably get...
Hello SuperNaut,
I would caution against playing the "what if " game as it has no end. Worse, it promotes self doubt, which leads to indecision and hesitation. All things you can clearly do without.
The situation was forced upon you and you regained control. I expect that in a similar...
TexasRifleman,
Are you sure Glen Beck is a convicted felon? I know conservative host G. Gordon Liddy of Watergate fame is. But a quick search turned up nothing on Mr. Beck.
Unless you just want quick release rings I'd go with fixed. I've a Bushnell Elite 10x40 in Leupold QRW Rings (quick release), mated to a Ken Farrell 15 MOA base on my Savage 110 FP.
In the almost 9 years that it's been there I've never removed it and it's zero has never shifted. So, while...
When I was a kid I took great pride in knowing that it was 12 rounds. Then I had to open my big mouth and wreck it:what:
But I enjoyed both vids. Lucas sure does a bunch of shootin' for a "peaceable" man.
Thanks
Hi, Downsouth?
I've had my Handi in 45-70 for over 10 years. The only thing I've changed is the hard butt plate to a Pacymayr recoil pad. Now it only thumps at the muzzle.
As your soon to see it's highly underrated. It's short, light, powerful, with a strong action and accurate. It can be...
Hello kdcarlson,
As far as LeVeRevolution ammo in 45-70 goes make sure you read the box. It seems that Hornady had trouble with their powder supplier. So the marked velocity for the 45-70 on the box I have is 1875 fps at the muzzle as opposed to the advertised 2050 fps.
Hornady 45-70 Govt...
Hello TexasSkyhawk,
Thank you for your comments. I was fully prepared to be flamed for my post and was pleasantly surprised when the opposite occurred.
ETA: The thoughts below are addressed to the board as a whole.
The application of four pounds of pressure to the trigger may be accomplished...
I agree with Jeff and Xavier.
Assume the increased risk of positive target identification or assume the responsibility for shooting the wrong person. It is disconcerting to read the number of posts that attempt to skirt that basic fact.
I am willing to accept increased risk to access my...
The young man was asked why he didn't defend himself and replied " He was raised right." That having been said, he lost the fight when he walked out his door that morning. His mindset left him unprepared to take the action appropriate for the situation in which he found himself.
I couldn't...
