We think and write about what we might do in the event we are faced with a hostile group but for most of us it's an imaginary exercise, one we will never have to experience. In fact, few of us have enough imagination to match what some people in other parts of the world have to contend with on...

I got back from a short vacation a couple of days ago and my daughter gave me a 12 ga. High Standard Riot gun. . . with a funky pistol grip! I tore it down and cleaned it up and then researched it. It seems to be a pretty good shotgun except for that *%##@* pistol grip! So now I'm in the...

Okay, this is one of those “gun related” Public Service Announcements the moderators will probably pull but I have to try. Most of us on this forum are men and – like men everywhere – we’re TOUGH!! We look at our own eventual demise with the same sort of Wagnerian philosophy made popular by...

I'll give the forum a maximum of three posts before someone attacks the author regarding his political affiliation. Said attacker will probably not bother to read the essay - after all, that might require a bit of thought. Has the NRA Lost It's Way?

Over the past 73 years I’ve met and known a lot of people. Early on I developed a few theories about human nature that subsequent experiences seem to have reinforced. I am continually amazed at the numbers of people, women usually, who continue to try to make bad marriages work. Even if their...

I have unabashedly stolen this from Claire Wolfe's Blog. She can smite me if she wishes but I think she's onto something here. 06/02/2007 Entry: "Government permission to work -- why care?" BECOMING NUMB TO CARING. Earlier this week, two people at TCF posted something about the latest...

The 'logic' side of my brain tells me that it can't really happen but the evidence keeps me wondering. Every so often someone starts a thread about a devious government program that uses some form of mind control to cause a tragedy like we've had today. As I said, logic tells me this isn't...

I was just out cleaning my yard and noticed a paper taped to the door of the house next door. As far as I knew, it was owned by a long-haul truck driver who dropped in from time to time, mowed the lawn and spent a couple of nights. I haven't seen him for awhile but according to the notice, the...

I was just interrupted by a phone call from a nice lady asking for money for Senator Gordon Smith's campaign. I declined. Then I went to his web-site and left the following message: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * We've gone through this before and I usually get a form-letter within a...

Some of us have been following the various discussions of the Military Commissions Act. It got a lot of publicity. There was another law signed that day that didn't get much press, main-stream of otherwise. For a proper discussion, go to...

My daughter wants to get back into long-range shooting now that the baby is born but she doesn't want to leave the kid either in the car or at home. Does anybody know of a set of "ears" that will fit a baby without falling off from sheer weight?

I know that most here already know Lawdog from his humorous stories about law enforcement, but for those who might think of him as 'just another funny guy,' here is a recent offering about a very serious subject. He has generously allowed the reprint and subsequent distribution of his work so...

:banghead: My youngest daughter made a mistake awhile back and last week she had her baby. It was all paid for by private insurance and all healthcare for the forseeable future will be too. But today a nurse from the County Health Department came by to see if everything was ok. She was a...

:cuss: I've been wanting to try some different ammo in my .22 rifle. I know there are two places here in Portland that can help me but one of them is the Sportsman's Whorehouse and I won't even go in there to get out of the rain! So I walk into the Gun Room and ask for some Wolf target ammo...

This may be off-topic but, since there seems to be a better collection of readers and thinkers here than anywhere else, I've decided to ask a question. I have the 'skeleton' of a quote running through my poor mind and I'd like to get it fleshed out. It goes something like 'If it is war they...

Whadda ya mean, "IF the left revolts?" If they're not already revolting, they're certainly disgusting!! Sorry, Mods. It had to be said...

From FreeRepublic.com.... An FBI agent shot an acquaintance of a border watch group member while trying to serve an arrest warrant, FBI officials said Thursday. The shooting happened about 11:15 p.m. Wednesday in a grocery store parking lot in Douglas along the southeastern Arizona...

In The Oregonian for Saturday, June 26, there was an article about the use of "an obscenity" by the Vice President in an incident at the Senate. As a sidebar to the main story, to show that such behavior isn't unheard of, there was a list of previous incidents within the halls of Congress...
