    C&R and UPS signature?

    "Signature required" is an extra cost option that the sender opts for or not. It's not UPS policy alone. I get C&R guns a couple times a month and it varies by wholesaler whether or not my driver wants a sig.

    Got another letter to the ed. published...

    got a phone call about my letter tonight!!!!! My wife answered the phone early this evening, and I kind ignored it, she gets 90% of the calls! Then I heard her say "I'm sure it would be okay, let me put him on". So I took it and heard "Miz Mary" introduce herself. Miz Mary is the widow of one...

    Legality of building your own gun from scratch?

    There is a recent 9th Circuit ruling that they DON'T. A man took a parts kit and built a fully automatic firearm by making the reciever himself. The 9th ruled that since the law defines a machine gun as the reciever itself, since he made it entirely on his own, that the other parts, which had...

    30.06 Signs

    NOT a coincidence! The Houston lawmaker (name slips the mind right now) who wrote the ordinance did it as a joke. At the time there WAS NO Texas code 30-06! They realized it prettty quick and passed one with the wording right away.:D For several days there was no legal way to ban carry at...

    Favorite milsurp firearm

    If you like bolt guns, you ought to try the bolt throw on a Portuguese Mauser Vigiero Model 1904/39. That is the slickest, most positive bolt action ever, period (well, except a Krag... maybe....) LOVE it.

    At what point is it no longer self-defense?

    Close, but not always true. PC$9.41(B) says that you are justified in using force against a perp to recover your property either during the occurance of the theft or robbery or *in fresh pursuit after the theft*. Which would have covered the guy in the vechicle if he had been in Texas.

    What is the most cool, obscure or rare gun you have ever fired?

    Virtually all of the oddball 1870s-80s single shot military rifles, in a decade long fit of collecting. The Werder Lightning, Werndl, Russian Berdans (I & II), Japanese Murata, French Tabatiere, etc.

    Whitehouse leaked so & so's name...

    Well, as the ranting raged on TV, every reporter I saw interviewed about it said that, "well, yeah, we all knew she was CIA for years." Seems to be a typical tempest in a teapot.

    questions on the Western gunfight

    Ol' Wes was one of the few real gunhands, true, but he was also an awful liar (remember, he became a lawyer!) . His real total is 17, still the second highest known. Local boy from around these parts, a lot of kin in the local cemetaries. His daddy was the Methodist preacher. He got shot in...

    VFW Oath isn't giving me a warm and fuzzy.....

    FWIW, the above oath does not exist any longer and has not for decades. The current one states, in the applicable portion, only the following: "I will bear true allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America-- and I will always be loyal thereto." The rest is about the...

    I had a gun pointed at me!

    Looking at what you just KNOW is a gun (cause you heard it rack) and seeing nothing but very large black hole... and being able to walk away is a very enlightning, life enrichening experience. At least it seems so long afterward. Just flat ruin your pants scary at the time, frankly. Drove...

    What to use against bears?

    I had a friend who was a gold camp guard in Alaska back in the 60's and 70's. His flat, no question, preference was " A 12ga with slugs for the Grizzlies, a .44Mag for the feral hippies!"

    flying gun safes in Tornados???

    Hey, if they will fling a semi tractor, they will sure fling a safe. In Oklahoma growing up, we learned that a twister will fling anything it wants, anywhere it wants, anytime it wants. All you can do is get out of the way and let it. Those storm cellars in the side yards aren't just for...
