    When I become Dictator...

    It is not too late to get your name on the 2012 ballot. In fact you would probably be the first one. You got my vote without even seeing the competition.

    Pistol VS. Handgun

    Growing up, I remember using the terms handgun and pistol interchangeably. Revolvers were revolvers and semi-autos were semi-autos. They were all pistols or handguns. I have since noticed a shift, where revolvers are revolvers and pistols are the same as semi-autos. They are all handguns...

    Round count? Really!!

    I have a hard enough time keeping track of the guns. I really don't keep track of the round counts. I do have a Taurus PT145 though. It is a first generation. If I had to guess, it is approaching the 500 mark. No problems at all, so far.

    Favorite gun rag

    I've tried most of them at some point or another. I would have to say that my favorite is Guns the Magazine.

    My 5 year old son has cancer :(

    Praise God!!! I am glad to hear that the surgery went well. The road to recovery may be a long one, but kids are pretty resiliant. He will come through this. Prayers are continuing for your family.

    What is the argument for reinstating the AWB?

    Because they want to. No other reason is needed. Gun Control has never been about the guns. It is about the control. They don't have and don't need a rational reason.

    What's your bet that guns will be cheap...

    I agree with MachIV. As the economy gets worse and people are faced with things like eating and forclosures, they will sell off at least some of their guns trying to make ends meet. I try to make it a point not to sell any of my guns, but I don't really need all that I have and if things get...

    How would YOU answer this?

    Well the gun, or anything for that matter, is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Either make him what you consider to be a reasonable offer or walk away. If he is asking too much for it, either someone with more money than brains will buy it or he is stuck with it until he drops...

    New 22-250 target/varmint rifle?

    I know that you are looking for a new rifle, but if you can find one, I love the Remington 788's. I have them in .222, 22-250, .243, and .308.

    Too Young?

    Oh, I forgot to add not to forget eye and ear protection. Smaller gear can be found here: http://earplugstore.stores.yahoo.net/ejuearmu.html That, and keep it fun. Paper targets don't have much interest for kids. Reactive targets do much better once they get big enough to hit them.

    Too Young?

    I started my son out with a single shot 22 (Henry Mini-Bolt) when he had just turned two. I did what you are talking about. I squated down and held the rifle while pointing it in a safe direction, he pulled the trigger. He is now a little over six and shoots all of my 22's and 17 HMR's and...

    Nail Polish on Primers?

    Factory ammunition is typically sealed pretty good. I do know several reloaders that use nail polish to seal the primers on their reloads though. To my knowledge, it has never caused any problems for them, and they still do it. Sometimes they will use different colors to distinguish different...

    How old were you?

    gbran, Now that I think of it, dad's Nylon 66 was the first gun that I shot. Somehow, his brother ended up with it. I came across one three years ago that was in good shape. Let's just say that it followed me home.

    How old were you?

    To be honest, I don't really remember. I got my first shotgun, a hand-me-down Iver johnson single shot 20 ga, when I was nine. But I had shot .22's prior to that. I started my son out with a Henry Mini-Bolt single shot .22 right after he turned two. He is now six and has the Mini-Bolt, a...

    Christian Gun Owners

    Just curious, what makes you say that? The rules are no personal attacks, no denominational attacks, and nothing that is outright blasphemous. Open minded discussion is accepted and welcomed. As long as it is civil, it is fine.

    Considering this, what would be your next purchase?

    Well, I already posted for the 1911. But, if you just want to plink, how about a handgun in .22lr? The cheapest thing out there to shoot, and lots of fun to boot.
