Well, I've got my .22lr single shot and have been practicing for a year. I've developed a string of bad shooting habits teaching myself on my .22, but I manage to hit the paper...some of the time. Now that the year is up I'm out to buy myself the latest tacticool 50 cal handcannon. I still...

and if one takes a behavioral modifying drug how competant is one to manage one's affairs? Similar to the question on the 4473 that asks if you are a user of narcotics or marijuana. Behavioral modifying. The extent of the modification depends on the individual, which is why we should not take...

Once again Purdue's journalists drop the ball. There's a reason we always called it "The Purdue Excrement" maybe it's time to pull my alumni donations....Purdue has always listened to it's pocketbook more than it's students/graduates (in my experiences anyway)

It would help to know the state in which you live, but I can add this for your information. I work for a civil engineering design/consulting company (I'm a mechanical engineer, but just can't help playing in the dirt :)) and have recently done such a design for a local private gun club...

I think you failed to read further in my post and while a cheating spouse may cause an increase in desire to commit suicide, said spouse is in no way, shape, or form prescribed by your doctor as something beneficial to your health. I never said we need to take their guns away. The point...

Something I don't think anyone has touched on yet is the type of medication one may be on that addresses the mental illness. If I am correct, some medicines for depression can actually cause an increase in the desire to commit suicide in some people. Should those people be allowed to own...

BS in Mechanical Engineering a handful of certificates, most related to the construction field studying for Professional Engineers license....test in April, oh boy

anything made by Glock or H&K :D there...that ought to draw the fanboys out :neener:

I was in Shooting Sports in 4H. Now this was at least 17 or 18 years ago, but was a great way to introduce kids to guns as a social hobby. It was also good for familiarizing kids with types of guns they may not have had any experience with. My old man is a die hard revolver guy, so at the...

thanks for the quick replies...although I shouldn't be too surprised, I guess, as this seems to be the norm here on THR. :) Sounds like it's somewhat of a non-issue.

I know that loading a mag up and letting it sit is a good way to break the spring in and ease up some of it's tension. I understand the life cycle of a spring and that repeatedly compressing and relaxing a spring will have an affect on it's lifespan. I also understand the affect on a spring...

and if lawyers had been in season at the time, nobody would have blinked an eye :neener:

Dumpster Baby - Now THAT is a tacticool wheelbarrow!!!

ArfinGreebly, I didn't intend to come off sounding snarky or anything. After re-reading it can very well be interpreted that way, however, honestly it wasn't my intent. I appreciate your response. It did clear the water for me. However, as I type this, an idea has come to me. I don't...

Not to step on anyone's toes, but this is gun related how?

I'm still waiting, with great anticipation, for my 2 mags and $50 to arrive. I hate waiting :)

Magic Bullets <tinfoilhat>Magic bullets? Absolutely there are magic bullets! There are magic bullets that do in fact circle around inside the body, then exit the body, make direction changes then penetrate another body, circle around in it, and exit yet again, all without damaging the...

not to go completely off topic, but as an engineer, I have to correct this. Actually, FORCE = MASS x ACCELERATION and while a smaller person (as per your Bruce Lee example) or a smaller round (9mm vs .45) will have less inertia as you stated, that does not have a direct impact on its...

haven't had the time to go through the numerous pages of this thread, so I dunno if someone already mentioned this or not, but my gun grail is the .38 caliber Volcanic Pistol manufactured by Volcanic Repeating Arms Co. number two would probably be a .44 Henry Rifle. both not cheap guns by any...
