    Books worth reading

    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.

    What's your unicorn?

    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...

    .45 Wesson Rifle Replica

    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.

    .45 Wesson Rifle Replica

    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...

    Favorite "gun" scene in a movie?

    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...

    Open Carry in School

    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...

    Don't open your door to see who is there!

    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...

    Boston bomber was a prohibited possessor.

    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...

    NC: Contact committee to move HB 937 to the floor for vote

    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...

    Save money on food?

    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...

    In re: "Army vet disarmed of his AR and 1911 by cop"

    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...

    Redefinition of Open Carry (Colorado Statute 18-9-106)

    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...

    NC: Contact committee to move HB 937 to the floor for vote

    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...

    Police Searching Homes

    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...

    Ruger Security Six

    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.

    THR Remington 1858 Club

    Well, pardon the poor picture quality but my camera's battery is dead, I can't find the charger, and I have been waiting long enough to join the club. So, without further to-do, my Remington 1858 marked for Dixie Gunworks. I had planned to get a 5.5" Pietta but the guy backed out and this one...

    The Big Thread of 2nd Amendment Posters

    Disliking the one with the guy drinking Starbucks though. Starbucks is one of the good guys, we do not restrict open or concealed carry in our stores by customers unless such is already restricted by state law, if they ever change that I'll find another job. And I know of several CCW holders...

    NC House Bill 246 to broaden current 2A protections

    So I wanted to put this out there to get awareness out to my fellow tar heels that my dad, Rep. Pittman, has sponsored (along with Reps. Ford, Hardister, and Speciale) a bill that would amend the NC constitution in several ways that would really strengthen and broaden our rights under the state...

    Printing Paranoia.

    Perhaps I should have mentioned I'm a slim tall guy at 6'3" and 150lbs. but I don't even own anything that would be considered compact. I now carry either a full size Witness .45 or more often a Ruger Service Six .357 4" and while I have some issues with printing with the Witness because of the...

    Printing Paranoia.

    I've never had any problems with printing or being made. I did open carry for about a year before I got my CCW and in all that time I had one negative experience and one that I wouldn't call bad but significant. The negative experience was in a K-Mart and I was minding my own business looking...
