...got to shoot a Garand at the range Sunday. I had already wanted one, but now I really want one. Just what I need, something else to spend money on. But I guess it was a pretty god tradeoff. I ran a clip through the Garand, and in exchange I let the owner and his two sons shoot 20...

(this took place in/around Charleston, SC) As a side note, this guy isn't ant-gun by any means, but to my knowledge he doesn't have a CCW or anything. (wonder if that might change now) Now, on to the S&T stuff... the first thing that goes through my mind as I read this is how I might...

All of us who watched the Presidential campaign at all heard Obama repeat a certain phrase over and over. I'm talking about his constant references to "eight years of George W. Bush's failed policies" or some version thereof. He used this, of course, as a derogatory statement, to paint McCain...

Background: Next week, I'll be attending a casual meeting of PHP developers down in Atlanta. These folks meet every month in a conference room at the Canadian consulate, which is located in a downtown high-rise office building. Now, seeing as how this is, well, Atlanta, and how we'll likely...

I've searched and searched here trying to find this, to no avail. A few months ago, there was a thread about a self-defense shooting, featuring what I think was raw video from a news interview with the citizen. He was an older guy, maybe late 60s, and he was cleaning/fixing up a rental...

I looked around and didn't see this posted anywhere yet. Hopefully I'm right... :p Anyway, I thought this was a surprisingly balanced report on campus carry. Most of the time was dedicated to allowing the pro-carry students to make their case. I say good on ABC for this...

So at some point in the next few months, I'll get my TN HCP and return to the world of armed citizenry. Since I lived in NC and had a permit there, I've acquired a bike and become quite addicted to riding it anywhere I go when the weather's good. So I've been thinking about how I'm going to...

http://www.wftv.com/news/10726683/detail.html I think I ought to be ticked off about this, but the fact that it's written like a children's book just throws me off-balance. Why in the world does this person have a job writing news copy? :barf:

After many months of putting it off, I finally went and took my carry class, with these guys. As an aside, I may be working with them soon to overhaul their website, 'cause it's sorely needed (bonus for me!). For those NC residents looking for a class in the Raleigh are, I highly recommend...

And with a bow no less. Did a couple days of hunting back at my roommate's home last season, and only saw one doe that I passed on. I wouldn't have passed on her had I known she was all I'd see- but I forgot to bring my crystal ball along, so oh well. We'd been out to the local public game...

So I'm pretty new to carrying on a regular basis, and well aware that I'm likely to be hypersensitive to getting "made." But it sure seems to me like my Tucker Texas Heritage makes some prominent squeaking noises as I move about. Anyone else notice this? Maybe it'll go away as the leather...

See this thread to learn how I acquired this rifle at a "discount price." It's been sitting around, and since been topped with a Sightron S2 4-16x42 to replace the POS Simmons it came with. I finally got a card a the local range (Wake FETC for you Raleigh-ites) and went back tonight to...

http://www.pdhsc.com/idpa_class.htm My roommate says it sounds like a waste of $130. He's also kind of ambivilant on CCW although he's definitely a gun guy. I, on the other hand, am at a point where I think I've self-taught myself to a decent level of pistol marksmanship, and I'd like to...

http://www.wral.com/news/4779724/detail.html Sounds like the RPD officer got a little carried away here. On the other hand, isn't the standard advice to ask the officer to show some kind of ID that confirms his LEO status?

I'm watching Independence Day on AMC, and it seems that it's effective in neutralizing space aliens. :evil:

OK, so I decided about two months ago that it was time to get serious about developing handgun skills since I was interested in getting a CCW. I figure competency goes hand in hand with the responsibility of daily carry, but that's another story entirely. So I bought a membership at the local...

I'm visiting my brother, sitting here surfing away at the big, bad internet, when I feel this odd lump in one of my jeans pockets. "what the :cuss: is that?" I wonder, as I fish it out. I nearly fell out of the chair laughing when it was a spent .40S&W casing. Better yet, I shot last...

First, a bit about me. While I grew up with firearms in the house, I didn't really shoot that much, and even then, it was usually rifle and rarely handgun. So I'm decent with a rifle, but I've got a long way to go before I reach the level of handgun proficiency that I desire. I've just...

This is something I've never really understood. I hear lots of people talk about shooting, and then refer to the "chore" of cleaning the guns once they get home, like it's some kind of unpleasant couterpart to the fun of shooting. Now I certainly don't get as much enjoyment out of cleaning as...
