    second amendment history

    The other quotes are genuine. This "Washington" one is bogus.

    Anti-gun family.

    My brother and I were a couple of years behind our cousins, on the gun front. We were 8 and 6 when we got back from overseas, and finally got the first trip to the gravel pit. I got my first BB gun that Christmas. Following year, brother got his first and I got an upgrade.

    Strange question--carnival shooting gallery guns?

    One year, I bagged two giant teddy bears in the same day. Got lucky on one, then realized if I got one for my niece, I had to get one for my nephew as well. Took about 2 more tries to do that. I've never done it again.

    Flying with CCW in NY

    Not a lawyer, and not from NY, but I've heard (I think here on THR), that NYPD explicitly refuses to recognize the Firearm Owner's Protection Act.

    See someone CC where they arent supposed to.

    Actually, in VA it's legal to CCW with permit on college campuses. Private schools can prohibit, but that's the private-property / trespass thing. Public schools can't, except for VCU which has an actual General Assembly-passed regulation. Where they get you is that if you work for them or go...

    Safety VS. Courtesy ( A Spin Off Thread)

    I work 3 blocks from a hoomeless shelter, an one from a liquor store. I'll actually pull out my wallet, rummage through it, and hand the guy an AA wallet card. Never get asked for anything again, by that panhandler.

    What is the WIERDEST Gun / Caliber you have ever fired?

    Don't know if these qualify as "weird": 2-pdr Coehorn mortar 12mm / .472 cal wheellock pistol.

    An everyday incident....

    May I suggest Pool Cues, Beer Bottles, and Baseball Bats, by Marc "Animal" MacYoung? It has some interesting comments.

    A Heinlein quote

    That scene was at the beginning of the book. Felix is in his friend's office, and showing of his new piece. The target's a paperweight, parked on a table next to a wall with a bunch of burn-marks from earlier target practice. There IS a duel, later in the book when Felix and Phyllis are out...

    Your pick for a single stack 9mm that is NOT a 1911 design

    Add me to the P-38 (steel) or P-1 (alloy) crowd.

    Would you take the shot?

    Right between the shoulder blades. At least twice. Followed by a head shot.

    How do you load your HD/SD shotgun?

    5 rounds of #1 buck in the magazine, chamber empty. Gun's a Mossberg 500 with 18-1/2" bbl.

    Poll for those who carry semi-autos

    FEG PA63, usually. Round chambered, hammer decocked, safety off.

    First Pistol

    Zhivago, That's "Shall Issue" = "I'm qualified, gimme the permit. NOW." "May Issue" = "Pretty Please, may I have a permit?" "No." "No Issue" = Wisconsin and Illinois. WI's governor vetoed a shall-issue CC bill, commenting that CC was sneaky and people could always open-carry. Then, when people...

    If you were called to defend your town...

    Bubba'ed SKS with red-dot scope. Keep the 10 or 20 round mag in it and top-load with stripper clips. They're lighter than those @#$% Hi-Tec 30-rounders. The other option is a CETME with a battle-pack of 7.62x51 in mags. Sidearm, I'd go with the 1911 or possibly the P38. I've got about the same...

    How Many Semi-Auto Handguns Do You Own?

    4 Makarovs, P64, PA63, CZ82, CZ52, TT33, Ruger MK II, P3AT, 1911, P1/P38. I think that's it.

    Pepper spray - first hand opinions

    Scoville Heat Units are subjective, in the sense that they're based on a group of 5 or more people tasting something. Pure, 100% oleoresin capsicum liquid is around 16 million SHU. Essentially, the Scoville number is how many time you have to dilute x-measure of whatever hot stuff with water...
