    John-Ross.net down

    While cruising for a link to an old "Ross in Range" article to send to a friend I noticed the website is down. The error message reads: "Website Temporarily Offline - Please check with the website administrator to make your hosting payment. - 90 days past due." Does anyone have contact...

    Cohesiveness and unified message needed by NRA and TRKBA supporters

    Right Idea. Shorter Message Yes we need to synchronize our efforts, shorter messages are better: 1. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. 2. If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. 3. No study has ever shown gun laws lower the homicide rate. The first has been used to...

    Counting on a pro-gun organization for help? Don't count on it if you're military.

    Who needs trees? Those other BDE Policy letters would be useful if we could find'em. Catch you tomorrow with my report.

    Counting on a pro-gun organization for help? Don't count on it if you're military.

    IG I admire the volunteerism, but you may not be able to file an IG complaint due to your "I don't fall under this Brigade any more" status. Even if you do, IG can "lose" paperwork. If you worked for IG and a soldier who was PCS/ETSing filed a complaint, would you be more likely to go...

    Counting on a pro-gun organization for help? Don't count on it if you're military.

    NRA, Sharepoint, Friends On other posts such things are frequently posted on MS Sharepoint pages. Ask around, dig around, and get back to me. A Brigade is a *big* unit, and the NRA is not that large. A dozen phone calls from Ft. Hood and they'll cry about their phone ringing off the hook...

    Counting on a pro-gun organization for help? Don't count on it if you're military.

    Real-Time OK, so we're chatting in real time. That's OK, I through you on an OODA loop with a PM ;-) OK, let me run this by my friends at IG. He didn't cite beans for regulations on this policy letter, and it's poorly worded to boot. Translation: he wrote it himself. Step 2: Task: Are...

    Counting on a pro-gun organization for help? Don't count on it if you're military.

    Slow down! Sorry, didn't see that when I originally opened my reply field and I'm long winded. This isn't installation policy? This is Brigade/Battalion policy? Can you get me all of your installation policy letters and *this* unit policy letter? -Morgan

    Counting on a pro-gun organization for help? Don't count on it if you're military.

    Hood, Bragg, and IG I am not a lawyer, or even an Army lawyer. I recently had a fun discussion with IG (Inspector General) today. During that conversation IG brought up some interesting information: An Installation Commander's policies *must* be backed up by Army Regulations. If the...

    Honing a Perfect Message

    If I may Just from my experience preaching to those who are not in the "choir". The "guns save lives" argument is much harder harder for people oppositional to the RKBA to swallow. It is also difficult/impossible to prove, and by making the statement, *you* have to back it up. Proving things...

    GOA Alert: URGENT!

    Joshua I like you're cutting directly to the point. The answer is unfortunately not very direct, to the point, easy to comprehend, or entertaining to hear. I am not a lawyer, but a lawyer can't really say for sure either, so that doesn't much matter does it? My *interpretation* of this...

    Does temporary cavity do damage?

    Results may vary As my medievalist wife likes to say: "It varies". Two factors impact the wounding ability of a temporary cavity: 1. Type of tissue being penetrated. Some tissue is more elastic than other tissue. Muscle tissue is more elastic than brain tissue. More elastic tissue...

    9mm: the latest advances in ammo

    Explanation in order Might I inquire as to where you keep hearing this from? Or if you heard it from a particular place? In any event, usually when someone says something along the lines of "a 9mm is perfectly fine for self-defense purposes with modern well-designed ammunition" they are...

    Terminal Ballistics

    Stolen Pictures, poor text. The pictures are stolen and uncredited, however they are accurate pictures. The text is the author's, and it's accuracy is not to be trusted, as the above quote should make obvious. Hollywood to the contrary, bullets neither knock men down, nor throw them off...

    Jeff Cooper: Rest in Peace

    Missed Neither of my parents shot firearms, or kept them in the house. Cooper's books taught me to shoot. I have returned the favor (I hope), by using Cooper's books to bring others into the world of firearms. He was an uncommon combination of warrior and scholar. Somehow it feels a little...

    NEWS- Carmen's law: Cat shooting prompts new gun measure

    Conflating some issues I am rather of two minds on this whole thing. I have always had cats, and I love my cats. Some have been indoor cats, others have been outdoor cats. I have never had a complaint about any of them from neighbors. On the other hand, we have a serious rabbit problem...

    Anyone heard of the FairTax Act?

    Loath to disagree with Austrians Auschip's link to: http://www.mises.org/story/1768 Is a very solid piece, but suffers from the fact that it addresses numerous ideas for a consumption tax, as opposed to directly addressing the "Fair Tax" national sales tax. I recommend reading it. Those...

    NRA A Rated Missouri Rep Calls for More Gun Control

    Effect of such law Laws which make it illegal to own firearms if you have committed a particular crime have 3 possible outcomes: 1. The former criminal obeys the law. Nothing happens. Best of all possible outcomes. 2. The former criminal ignores the law (since it is in practice...
