I'm going to open this thread to post some important information. If anyone replies to it please keep comments on the highest level so as to avoid the unfortunate turn the recently closed 'hunting ethics' thread took. Since the late 1800's the commonly recognized US authority on hunting...

I got a nice letter today from one of my favorite clowns, Al Franken asking for a generous donation of campaign funds so he can run for the seat of Senator Norm Coleman of Minnesota. :scrutiny: Personally, I think Al is a better clown than he would ever be as senator. Come to think of it he's...

I've been looking at standard capacity magazines. Glock, Sig, Beretta, more Glock, a S&W, more Glock et cetera... its just not worth the effort. So what if I'm surrounded by goblins? I figure that I can get the goblin captain (the one with Sauron's thumbprint on his forehead) with the...

OK, how long after sunset will it be before Glock starts stocking and selling standard magazines and the prices normalize again?

I have been wondering about whether one could reload 45-70 in the field using Pyrodex and .45 caliber sabots. That way if they were 'way up in the mountains elk hunting the only reloading tools they would need would be a deprimer and a priming tool. Some decdes ago I read a story, (maybe from...

I thought it might be nice to start a political poster wannabee thread. Maybe we can inspire some of our local artists to produce something wonderful. The poster I most want to see is a photo of a big black Lincoln parked in the shade with one of those magnetic signs on the side saying...

Considering that this is a DNC front organization I am agin' it. So where is the NRA with its own version of Rock the Vote ?

OK, if this page link comes through you will reach the project vote smart page for Mr. Kerry's voting record. It is both interesting and informative. Looking at the gun links we have the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act the Bankruptcy Reform Act the new pawn shop background check rules...

I thought about this today when Little Meek took out his elderly Savage .22 over 20 ga. to hunt armadillo. What sorts of over/under rifle/shotgun combos are available nowadays? I think it would be cool to find one with maybe a .44 Magnum over a 20 ga. or a .223 over a 20 ga. or maybe a .243...

From the Pykrete website we find this quote: What is the math error here? If this was true then the converse is true that a .243 bullet could knock a 1000 pound object a foot. Or a hundred pound object ten feet. We obviously don't have .243 rifles blasting holes in backstops and knocking...

What states allow hunting deer with crossbows? What is the maximum range for a crossbow and is it any harder to shoot than a rifle? What kinds of crossbows are the best?

What do you use for filler at the top of reloaded pistol brass when using fast powders. I've heard of using grits and cotton wadding but are there other things? Would kitty litter be too abrasive?

This is an ethical can of worms which I would hope might be opened without too much flaming on the various sides. There are two major philosophies here. 1: Citizens shouldn't take the law into their own hands. That is why we hire professional LEOs. There is no room for vigilantism. 2...

I saw a really weird trick shooting stunt on cable TV a few days ago. There was a guy with a "special" Ruger Blackhawk shooting steel reactive targets. He shot a double tap with the pistol, two shots so close together that the second shot hit the target as it was being knocked away by the first...

When I moved to a rural county in Dixie from a major urban pesthole and my CCW expired it took the sheriff less than a week to process my new CCW application. Although not a requirement in my state he offered an optional basic pistol safety course for $20. The teacher was a senior deputy with an...

http://news.independent.co.uk/world/asia/story.jsp?story=515021 Apparantly there is a rumor going about that the big railway explosion which killed over 2000 people was targeting Kim Jong. Hard to believe though it may be it is less farfetched than the official explantion. I find it...

Looks like Arlen Spector may be history but then so may Pennsylvania's Republican Senate seat. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04109/302006.stm This about sums it up.

http://www.wate.com/Global/story.asp?S=1804367 This is a terrible way to die. Imagine a country where there are no civilian firearms. The morons will still find numerous ways to kill off their children.

Some info from the 94th edition Shooter's Bible which I find interesting, Subject to transcription error: In the .223 Remington, Remington 55 grain SP is rated at 2747 feet per secondd at 100 yards and 921 foot pounds of energy at 100 yards. In the 30-30 Winchester, Remington 150 grain...

This is amazing. A quick tally shows there are 767,577 posts on THR. And there are only a handful dealing with the subject of the 5.5 mm Velo Dog. What a shame. :D
