And they also like the part where the gun gets taken away.

I work in an office with 80 people. From overheard conversations and/or observations, I'd estimate 30 or so not only have guns, but have CCWs as well. Oh, and I work in computer tech support.

Much like others choose to go to the football stadium for the 'whole experience' I'd rather go to a range that has other people shooting. It's the 'whole experience' thing, I guess. I expect noise, shock waves, and the smell of powder. I always have a much better time at the range if there's...

It's an oldie but a goodie. "More people have died in Ted Kennedy's car than by my gun." Of course, a lot of people in their 20s (and even 30s) need to have this explained to them, which greatly reduces it's intended effect.

Could someone please elaborate?

/sarcasm=on/ All a stapler is supposed to do is staple 2 pieces of paper together. The instrument you possess is unnecessary. If I had my way, we wouldn't even staple paper. Putting holes in paper to hold it together is somewhat barbaric. Tape would be the preferred, non-violent method...

This joke often is told with a photographer and a writer. I'll need to change it slightly to fit this forum. ;) There was once a man who - through numerous worldwide competitions - was named "Overall World Firearms Champion". Let's call him "Bill". Time Magazine sent one of their...

... and has probably already indicated so on the form A lot of comments have been made about hunting with your doctor. Keep in mind a lot (that's about as scientific as I can get) of hunters do not understand 2A concepts. As long as government regs do not affect hunting, they could care...

About 18 months ago, my wife finally gave in, and I started buying handguns. A few months after that, I took firearms safety classes, and received my CCW. I started carrying everywhere for months on end. Didn't phase her a bit. Then one day, she saw me changing out the range ammo for...

They can ask me all they want about the guns (or lack thereof :neener: ), but when they try to slide the questions past my kids is where I get upset. I was there once when the doc asked my 8 year old the 'gun' question. Q: Are there guns in your house? A: Yes. Q: Are they locked up...

I've developed a habit of carrying a hot cup of coffee with me. Fill it up at work just before I walk to the car; fill it up at the mall before I walk through the parking lot. Doesn't matter if I'm packing or not. So far, I've been lucky enough to have something to drink in the car. I...

Although it may have been a premonition of becoming a "gun nut", I remember it vividly. I had never shot a pistol before, but wanted to. So I stopped at a local range and rented a 9mm. The counterperson gave me a safety talk, showed me how the gun worked, then sent me back to the range. I...

I took a break from Christmas shopping to fondle some goodies in the gun case at the local sporting goods store. The salesman wanted to know if I wanted to look at a Glock. (I was looking at the Sigs and Kimbers case.) Told him no, I really didn't care for them ... I don't like the way they...

Yep. I read them, cover to cover. You just never know what tidbits of information (some actually useful) you run across. I'm the first to admit I don't know everything. I've even been known to look up manuals for guns I *might* want to own in the future.

The other night, my kids were watching, "Mighty Joe Young". Essentially, King Kong for the current generation. Since I wasn't deeply engrossed in the film, I can't give you the play-by-play of who's who, but here's what made me stop and pay attention: There's a scene where the (female)...

Yep. I usually train for 2 COM 1 Head. Sometimes I train with 2 targets - 2 COM 2 COM 1 HEAD 1 HEAD. If the police shoot people with toy guns (and I fully support that) because they feel threatened and can't tell the difference, then how am I wrong by firing at someone with a real shotgun...

This article from yesterday's Detroit News gives me about 17,000 reasons. http://www.detnews.com/2003/politics/0311/09/a01-319985.htm It's too long (IMHO) to post in it's entirety. This is the jist of it: ------------------------------- Michigan could free inmates to save cash As many...

Ah, the drivel I find while looking for other things. <sigh> http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/986540/posts Essentially, an article dealing with the emotions and thought processes of people attending a CCW course in Kansas City. Here's one I hadn't heard before: "If you do shoot...

No personal experience, but you may want to look at: http://www.nra.org/frame.cfm?url=http://www.nrahq.org/shootingrange/findlocal.asp It seems I've run across some other sites that may answer some of your questions, but didn't bookmark them.
