  4. The CVA Wolf is the best value in all of deer hunting. I bought one on a lark at Wal Mart when they were $99. It's all I've hunted with since, and you can't imagine how surprised I was with it's accuracy, good trigger, and ease of cleaning. You'll probably want some rings and a scope. You'll also need a dogbone type capper, and some shotgun primers. I like the 777 pellets for ease of use with powder charges. You can buy them in tubes, or in a larger box. Get some tubes and keep them to carry these in your pocket. The powerbelt bullets work great for me. I shoot the 295 grain green tipped ones and 2 50 grain 777 pellets.. My son has one like it, and it prefers the platinum bullets, and 2 60 grain 777 pellets. What's really cool about these is you don't have to shoot them to unload them. Just pull the breechplug and push the powder pellets and bullet out the breech end of the barrel. No cleaning necessary. The muzzleloader season is typically the peak of the rut here, and my absolute favorite time of year to deer hunt.

  11. Thank you for the info guys. I think muzzleloader season will be great for the reason you said and I'm thinking that reason and the deer are not yet skittish to all the people in the woods will increase my changes of filling the freezer. Not to mention 2 more weeks of being in the woods. I had a TC New Englander back in the early 70's and we had to shoot it to unload it, take it home and clean it every day....It was a real chore. The CVA Wolf is right in my price range. I'm glad to hear it's a good choice. I know a guy that's wanting my Muecci SE pool cue, so a CVA Wolf is definelty in my immediate future. LOL!

  12. That is a pretty nice package for the money. If you are just getting into muzzleloading it has everything you need. The one thing to check is to make sure you have easy access to the breech for cleaning. I had one muzzleloader that I had to take the stock off to clean the barrel. Most now a days are not like that but is something to check.

  13. Now I'm stuck in the middle of a debate knowing your gun is bigger, but it can't be used like mine... Making me contradict my own joke about the silly bradley. You win this time mr. 155, but we will meet on different terms at a later date.

  14. In my country, the directorate of defense trade controls doesn't have the authority to make law, (congress does), nor do they have the authority to interpret law (the judicial branch does), so this means nothing to me.

  22. I playedwith one yesterday. Quite spectacular, imho. Of course, I like Shields, so duh. :-D The texture sure is grippy. I'm kind of a soft handed pansy and I don't like the board tape many folks use as grip enhancers. The texture on the Shield isn't exactly the same, but it IS similar. If I bought one, I'd probably take a small piece of something like an 800 grit paper and knock the "sharp" off the top. Yes, the trigger on the one I played with was really good. It's not quite as good as the Performance Center Shields, but close. I'd say it's closer to the PC gun than the regular Shield in terms of crispness at the break. I have a few other guns higher on the list, but I'm sure I'll have one find it's way into the Smith party at my house before too long. :-)

  26. Congress has passed legislation authorizing various federal agencies to do things like this for a while now, and courts have held up a lot of it as legal. It's actually kind of amazing how much latitude these agencies have with things like this.

  27. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/07/28/critics-shoot-holes-in-widely-cited-gun-study.html Published July 28, 2016 FoxNews.com A much-heralded and widely cited study of 171 countries over nearly a half century purports to show more guns mean more mass shootings, but critics say the report uses bad methodology in a way that rigs the results. The study by Adam Lankford, a criminal justice professor at the University of Alabama, was published in the journal Violence and Victims in January has been cited by media outlets -- including The New Yorker, The Washington Post and Time magazine. But the study, formally published earlier this year after a draft was released in academic circles, has raised questions about what critics consider dubious methodology. “The Lankford ‘study’ is nothing more than junk science disguised as research, and never should have been published in a responsible scholarly journal,” Florida State University criminology professor Gary Kleck told FoxNews.com. The study, titled “Public Mass Shooters and Firearms: A Cross-National Study of 171 Countries,” concluded that “The United States and other nations with high firearm ownership rates may be particularly susceptible to future public mass shootings, even if they are relatively peaceful or mentally healthy according to other national indicators.” Academic peers who have sought to examine the findings say Lankford refuses to share the data and details he used to support his findings, or submit it to standard peer review. Kleck and others say the obvious hazard in claiming to study 46 years’ worth of shootings in most of the world’s nations is that, while data may be easily found for U.S. shootings, compiling information for developing nations could be all but impossible. “This would rig results in favor of finding a positive association between gun ownership and mass shootings,” Kleck said. The reason, Kleck said, is “it would more completely count mass shootings in the U.S., which undoubtedly does have a high gun ownership rate, while yielding artificially low counts of mass shootings in other nations.” Lankford’s analysis of mass shootings from 171 countries from 1966 to 2012 comes with the caveat “Complete data were available.” In describing his research, Lankford offers only vague hints as to how he identified incidents in poor, non-English-speaking countries going back 50 years. “I find this claim hard to believe,” Trinity College economics professor Ed Stringham, who has done research using international crime rates, told FoxNews.com. When asked for his data by FoxNews.com, Lankford declined to provide it. In his study, Lankford says he took NYPD data on mass shootings -- which he acknowledges misses international cases -- and "supplemented [it] with additional data” internationally. Lankford does not say exactly how he collected that additional international data, just noting that it came from searches of “open source” documents and that “all efforts were made to ensure that the same data collection methodology employed by the NYPD was used.” The NYPD notes that its own researchers “limited [their] Internet searches to English-language sites,” therefore under-counting foreign mass shootings. FoxNews.com asked Lankford whether he used the same language method as the NYPD, or if he searched using more than just English. Lankford replied that, “my data were not limited to English-language searches." Asked what languages he used in his searches, Lankford declined to provide that information. “Lankford does not claim to be able to read all the languages used in those 171 nations, or to have made use of others with this ability,” Kleck said. “This method would result in a near-total omission of relevant news stories outside of the English-speaking part of the world.” Lankford said he may share his methods with fellow scholars at a later date. "I am open-minded about sharing data with other scholars for collaborative purposes, and consider those opportunities on a case-by-case basis. This is all the assistance I can provide at this time,” Lankford told FoxNews.com by email. An associate editor of Violence and Victims, which published Lankford’s paper, told FoxNews.com that the journal does not see its role as that of a fact-checker. “Journal editors generally trust the integrity of authors, and unless reviewers/referrers who are experts in the specific research area call attention to weaknesses in methodology or otherwise challenge findings, the results are not likely to be questioned,” Violence and Victims Associate Editor Edna Erez said. Editor-in-Chief Roland Maiuro said that Lankford’s paper was approved by anonymous independent researchers. “The manuscript was subject to blind review by two established researchers with expertise in the area of gun-related violence, critiqued, and revised according to the recommendations made in these reviews,” Maiuro said. Kleck said a more rigorous and transparent peer review process was in order. “No qualified scholar would accept work by a researcher who could not, or would not, even explain exactly how he measured his most important variable [mass shootings],” Kleck said. An expert on transparency said that such data should always be released. “Any research that seeks to influence the public debate on this topic, as this research clearly does, should be required to make their data available so that other researchers can confirm their findings,” professor Robert Reed, replication editor at the journal Public Finance Review, told FoxNews.com.

  34. I think you will find it depends on the department. Many years ago when I was a cop it was wait on backup, secure the scene, wait on a team (SWAT, etc.) to enter. I think many departments now simply have the first Officers on the scene enter and engage the shooter. My role as a citizen today would be much different than that of a Police Officer. My role would be to take out the shooter without another citizen or the responding Police thinking I’m the shooter. But again, everything would depend on where I was, how many shooters, etc. My plan/actions would be much different if I was at work than if I was at the mall. The role of those that are unarmed or unwilling to engage the shooter is pretty simple. Put as much distance between you and the shooter as possible. If you can’t run; hide as best you can. Grab your phone and get help on the way.

  36. Wouldn’t “active shooter training” be more philosophy than hands on training? I mean every situation is going to be different. It’s basically accessing your situation and neutralizing the threat. It might make a good discussion here. FEMA has a class on “Active Shooter: What you can do”. But it’s only an hour long, so I’m guessing by the time they introduce themselves, tell you why you are there, and tell you to run or hide; the class is over.

  39. Seeing as I don't speak leagalize worth a damn, now I completely confused. Can somebody please explain in plain English just what his new laws says? Exactly what's the property/business owner is liable for if they do or don't post the No Guns signs? If they post and something happens they are liable? If they don't post and something happens they aren't liable? I get a headache just trying to figure this stuff out.
