    Babies (15mo.) at gun shows??

    I saw a thread on kids at gun shows (being little brats, not keeping hands off stuff, etc.) but what are your thoughts about babies at shows (15 mo just getting mobile)? My girlfriend says "so what" but I think I'm on the fence about it a little more for two reasons.... 1. "I'll bring the...

    NH School Field Trips BANNED due to guns?

    Then NEA (Teachers Union) is now banning all field trips to the NH Statehouse due to the gun ban being lifted "for the safety of the children". Story here: http://www.wmur.com/news/26608405/detail.html Ridiculous..... But I guess field trips to downtown Boston are still ok.....go figure.

    This article has got me a little concerned. It's about a California LEO (Chief) and his thoughts/concerns about open carry. Sentence No. 3 states that open carry is the practice of carrying unloaded (ok, this may or may not be depending on the individual), but I think this Chief is a little...

    Just picked one up for $150.00 brand new!! Dead-nuts accurate right out of the box. Now I just need to pick up some 3/8in. scope rings and a scope but the iron sights are great. It's been a LONG time (my youth) since I've owned and shot a .22 L/R rifle but I saw this on the shelf and got the...
