    what is the "proper" way to load two shells into an 870 for doubles?

    Feel free to laugh at this dumb question, but I'm stumped. Background: I shot doubles for the first time with the 870, got 30/50... mostly hitting the first and missing the second. :) I was trying to figure out the "best" way to load two shells into the 870 is when at the trap field...

    Having a gun would have made it worse?

    My good friend visited last week with his girlfriend... while they were here vacationing, they learned that her roomates had been mugged (in Dallas) at gunpoint. Two guys jumped them as they entered their car, both armed. The BGs pistol whipped one of the guys in the back of the head when he...

    RL Scenario: Unstable, suicidal 19 year old loose in woods near my house

    True story... driving home to my sleepy mountain community of 125 homes today, I see three cop cars at a house deep in the community. Which is interesting because there are only 1-2 cops assigned to this entire area on most days... I wind down the narrow street further, and see two more cop...

    Rice and Bush 'knew' about 9/11 - Oh come ON...

    One of the many ultra-liberal 'haters' on my left-coast Ivy-league college mailing list just posted that Bush/Rice "knew" about 9/11 ahead of time, apparently referring to this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/12/politics/12clarke.html Usually I don't stoop to their level, but was...

    Any stats on Democrat vs. Republican gun control bills?

    Does anyone have actual stats on how many gun control bills are introduced / signed into law by Democrats, versus Republicans? Have a bet going... this is probably a hard statistic to come up with, wondering if anyone has done the leg work.
