    The Ruger MKIV handguns

    I'm sort of surprised... I own a few 1911s, a Mk IV 22/45, and the Mk IV has always struck me as touchy, difficult and for-teaching-only. 1911s are much easier to strip down and reassemble, and it surprises me that someone would say that about the Mk IV, with it's inverted flopping pin that...

    The concept of Sunk Costs and Ammo

    The security of Seattle has nothing to do with REI's HQ building.

    The concept of Sunk Costs and Ammo

    The thing to remember about sunk cost is that it's a fallacy, and should not be considered in financial decisions.

    Concealed Carry in Bear Country? 357 Mag, 41 Mag, or 45 ACP + P

    Isn't this where someone brings up the bear that was killed with a .22LR?

    Myths the Media Perpetuate About Gun Control

    John Lott set our cause back fifty years. Don't quote him, he's a loser who doesn't deserve anything but scorn.

    NRA Membership Required for Gun Club Membership

    An unenforcible (or just unenforced) rule is meaningless.

    NRA Membership Required for Gun Club Membership

    Maybe. Maybe not. Money is probably the only thing that gets the NRA's collective attention. Particularly money that goes away. Under the current arrangement, if you're a life member, they have no reason whatsoever to listen to you.

    Who's had a 'negligent discharge'??

    Yup. I misunderstood you. Sorry.

    Who's had a 'negligent discharge'??

    It's sort of a windmill for him, isn't it?

    Who's had a 'negligent discharge'??

    With all respect, don't count either military or law enforcement as any kind of firearm experts. Isolated individuals may be experts, but it certainly isn't because of those particular occupations. Teaching, the only time I wore a vest was with cops. Don't even get me started about the...

    NRA Membership Required for Gun Club Membership

    I joined because the range said I had to be a member to take the instructor's classes. That was quite a while ago. Then all sorts of stuff happened, like Ted Nugent got elected, and the NRA went to hell in a bucket. Now I won't renew until a list of things happen. He's up there, right after...

    The 4 rules of firearm safety

    That's exactly my point. The NRA's rules work, too. Scout ranges are some of the safest ranges in America. And no, I belong to two ranges where the NRA's rules are used. So therefore I disagree that the Cooper Four are the standard.

    The 4 rules of firearm safety

    I believe we're going to get along. :thumbup: The main problem with the Cooper Four is that it exists. The problem with two sets of standards is that in that case, by definition, there is no standard. Mentioning two sets of rules to a twenty-five year old, highly educated, intelligent school...

    How much of your ammo is self defense?

    If I'm ever in a gunfight, I hope my opponent has ammo that is 17 years old.

    Who's had a 'negligent discharge'??

    Ed, you'd flunk.

    Who's had a 'negligent discharge'??

    Sounds to me like you're trying to use some kind of legality or responsibility based on results. Legality should never be used as a substitute for morality, and the results don't have anything to do with whether or not a discharge caused by human error was negligent. It makes your post sound...

    Who's had a 'negligent discharge'??

    If the weapon malfunctions and causes an unintentional discharge, that's an accidental discharge. Any other unintentional discharge should have been prevented by the shooter, and is a negligent discharge. That's what I believe, that's what I teach. The word isn't being overused because it's...

    Ammo shopping etiquette in this day in age

    I agree, reloading isn't about money. The illusion of savings attracts some folks, but they usually either change why they reload or they quit reloading. Either choice is valid, as far as I'm concerned. If the other reasons to reload don't interest you and "savings" is the only reason you...

    Ammo shopping etiquette in this day in age

    I almost never buy ammunition, I virtually always buy components. And when I do that, I do it online. So I have no idea if I take the last box or not-- I order what I want, when I want it, and stud muffin the UPS man carries it for me.
