    Elementary kids, classrooms and finger guns

    "***?" That is correct, I was told that word for word. Now, cops have mistakingly fired upon toy gun wielders (suicide by cop), I'm sure it has happened but cops shooting at kids making finger gestures? No way...... I should have asked her for a source.

    Elementary kids, classrooms and finger guns

    "I think it is important to let your son see that you are there to back him up. He is doing nothing wrong. It is NORMAL for kids to play guns. And chainsaw, and switchblade, and... sorry i digress. Let him know you understand and will back him up. Take him into the principals office so he can...

    Elementary kids, classrooms and finger guns

    Can someone explain to me how two (2) emo Coloradian idiots can set the standard for a country of 300,000,000? Can one fight the school district and actually win?

    Elementary kids, classrooms and finger guns

    "Ah, so you have had the joy of witnessing the modern public school system in action! By the way, your case is nothing compared to some of the nuttiness that has been reported..." Yes, I suspected I might be in for some trouble with kid #1 and the school district. He doesn't understand the...

    Elementary kids, classrooms and finger guns

    So, I've now been into the kindergarten classroom for a conference with the teacher for the third time, most recently during this last week. My son, aged five, is the black sheep...a dastardly soul and the scourge of the flaming liberal academia ruling our public schools. His...

    Weird thing at Gander in Florida

    I was in a candy store with my kid and a customer pulled out a Snickers bar....I, and my family dentist, moved my child away from the situation.... We cautiously observed the customer and the Snickers for we did not know what would happen next. We, along with our family dentist, were...

    Handgun buying binge...now on the hunt for a .45 ACP revolver

    "Anyway, I will be buying the Springfield XD45 soon due to my excellent experience with my XD40 (love, love, love this pistol)" I did the exact same thing. Love my XD40sc and thought the XD45 would be perfect so I bought one. I didn't like the XD45. To much recoil in the polymer frame...

    Shotguns are uncouth!

    "Where did you learn that?" Hi Lee, I gained the information from a book titled "Revolvers" by respected firearms author George Nonte which I am currently reading.

    Shotguns are uncouth!

    I've learned today that most gunfights and kills in saloons or other establishments in the 1800's western America were performed by handguns because it was consider impolite and uncooth to carry a shotgun into a saloon. The shotgun would have been the much better tool in many cases but...

    Myths about the western gunfighter.

    The commonality of the street gunfight/duel at high noon at twenty paces is a myth. It may have happened but not nearly as much as movies, TV or paperback westerns would have you believe. It was rare because both gunfighters stood a likely chance of eventually being hit. It was too much of a...

    Mixed Marriage ;-)

    Welcome to the forum, Meesh. Should all attempts at compromise fail and you wish to continue to shoot, you may be able to rent a locker at your local gun club if they permit firearm storage. You're probably above this idea but you could also go the range a couple times by yourself and...

    Landed a M66-2 today!

    "Target pics and a range report?" I've never done one, houle, but because you requested, I will. My goal is to shoot it for the first time over the Labor Day holiday. No guarantees my pics and report will look as good as some of the terrific examples I've seen on THR, but I'll make a first...

    Landed a M66-2 today!

    "Actually a lot of grip companies will install factory medallions for an extra cost so your gun can still look factory. It's usually around $10 or so." Brilliant. The factory medallion gives the piece a distinct and official look without infringing on copyright. You exercised particularly...

    Firearm laws you do support....

    "I support the waiting period for handguns and long guns." I disagree with this. I have strong sympathy for those that have to wait. When I see a gun on the shelf or table that I would like to buy I get real fired up. Not sure if others experience this, but it's a sense of joyousness that...
