Alright, I'm an old fart. Grew up in a different age. Which, in its way, was a golden age. So my question is, who here owns no scopes Nor lasers and still manages to shoot more or less straight? I realize this sounds like pure reverse Hubris, But there was a day when irons...

All - This is THR. The High Road. Now, cutting to the chase here, lately I've seen a real tendency for certain people to "cut their cloth to fit their suit" nd not only on this forum, but others I attend. By throwing in the latest yellow-press headlines, which, of course, generally generate an...

A very long time ago, I had a 99c. The gun stuck with me. OK. So I wandered by my local today, And there is a 99c in well worn but good condition. Its date of birth was 1910. Got the octagon back half of the barrel, And the round front half, Plus the semicircular cast...

All - OK, three common but very dissimilar firearms when you get right down to it. Two you have heard about till you are probably sick to death of it. AR variants. AK variants. Then there's the redhaired stepchild the Czech VZ58. The VZ, as its name implies, hit the assembly lines in 1958 and I...

Yes. I realize that this is fairly typical Yellow Press. http://www.mainstreet.com/slideshow/lifestyle/most-trigger-happy-states?cm_ven=msearthlinkcf But you do need to think about who exactly is collecting those stats, And what they intend to use them for. isher

Musing, here - I grew up with everyday guns. Maybe they weren't the most accurate, but they worked. The bluing was worn, the stock was beat up, They had these idiosyncrasies which you just learned. Certainly my family couldn't afford the fancy stuff. So, having been on this forum for...

Right, all - What was your first "really yours" gun, And when did you get it? And how were you taught to use it? This isn't a troll question. I have just realized that there is a hell of a difference between how I grew up in the fifties, and the way it is going down now. isher

All - This thread oughta have the lifespan of a mayfly......... But Just how in the hell do you separate politics from guns? Honest question here; I've seen the same conflict so many times I'm sick of it. I want done with it. To me, guns are tools I've always used, and will...

rbernie - Despite the thread being closed - not a problem - I still think the history of the Greek "polis" Is informative. http://homepage.usask.ca/~jrp638/CourseNotes/Polis.html Knowledge is the ammunition of the mind. You might find this interesting. isher

From the NY Times............ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30217992/ I've read the NYT for about 50 years, and in my opinion They are a pretty reputable organization. It would appear that we have people on both sides of the border Working guns. And not that silly ass .30...
