The way in which you refer to it, The Seven Years' War, indicates you'e studied the war from the European perspective. I've never seen it taught as anything other than the French & Indian War in an American university or classroom. I have seen it taught as Le Guerre de Suavage (war of the...

That would have been the opening of the French & Indian War, specifically, Penn's Creek Massacre, in 1754, or just as likely, Braddock's defeat and subsequent retreat of George Washington in 1755. To answer the earlier question of "how would you prove that?", the wikipedia entry on Penn's Creek...

Look at the last will and testament for each man listed. There would be a section of tangible property to be disposed of. If there are fireamrs on the list, there's your proff. (It doesn't prove said man ever used said firearms.) Also, diary/journal entries of said founding father and those of...

We have one of those, and I don't go there. Ever. But yeah, I've heard horror stories. (Like, guys being drunk or high-mj is legal in my state and very easy to acquire) while shooting. No thanks.)

Oh I haven't been there in there years. I'm a member at a private, members-only range. With a few exceptions, we don't have those problem. (The few exceptions being the active duty Army infantry guys on some weekends.)

Seriously? That's all you've got? What bugs me about public ranges is grandfathers walking their grade school aged grandson down range in front of me to put up a target, but it's a hot range and we're still shooting. What bugs me about public ranges is an employee chastising me about safety...

This is pretty much where I'm at on all calibers. If it's in stock at a local store, it's cheaper to buy it in town, no matter what it is. The only time I order online is if I need it soon and it's unavailable locally. If there is no immediate need, I'll just wait for it to reappear on a shelf.

Honestly, Sportsman's Warehouse has THE best prices on guns of any box store or LGS I've ever been to. In terms of selection, they're better than any LGS as well, with the exception of used/out of production guns, of course. If every LGS in my town shut down overnight, I doubt I would notice...

And that is our fundamental disagreement. I feel no need to correct others' use of the terminology, even though I know it doesn't square with the legal definition. When someone says "assault weapon," I know what they mean, and their message is effectively communicated. (Same with clip vs...

Everyone who posts on THR has "knowledge of the topic." Everyone one of us, myself included, knows the strict legal definition of the term assault weapon. The problem is that such legal definition (i.e. select fire) is totally irrelevant. The term assault weapon has been broadly accepted as...

OMG! The voice of reason!!!

I think that's pretty much the future of things, anyway. I was opposed to youtubers earning money from content for a long time, but I kind of get it, now. Youtube and these private streaming services have, in a way, democratized entertainment-except that you have to have money to vote. But our...

Ian McCollum's latest book, Small Arms of WWII: Soviet Union just opened for preorder today.$108 with delivery forecasted for September. As you may recall, this is the follow on to Small Arms of WWII: United States. I'm a little torn on this one. I want to support his work, but I have zero...

It's definitely British. Has the Crown acceptance stamp in front of the cylinder. That one is pretty old. I know the Brits had some revolvers, during WWII, that were 38 SW that they referred to as 38-200. But I thought all of the Webleys were break top designs. (Obviously not an expert on...

We have a new winner for "most poetic thing ever posted on these forums."

Amen. I will concede that the image I posted above was taken the morning after an employee posted the night prior on social media that they had received a truck shipment of ammo. But that was the first shipment in weeks or months. I don't know how that isn't supply related. I think wher you...

Three years ago today. The line to buy ammo at my local Cabela's went all the way through the store, out the door and into the parking lot. You were only allowed to buy one box. But there's nothing to see here, move along. Ammo shortages aren't real.
