$1000 each? Hell, the government can't buy a toilet seat for that cheap.

To clarify even further, I still believe than leaving guns in vehicles is a bad idea. Vehicles are surprisingly easy to break into. A skilled thief can be in and gone in under a minute. However, I also understand that sometimes you just don't have another choice when going about your daily life. Its the concept of a "truck/car gun" or a weapon that permanently resides inside a vehicle that I find questionable.

That is one fugly rifle. Looks plumb awkward. But being a Sig, I'll bet it shoots great. I did a little checking on that 277 Fury round too. 140gr 6mm bullet at 3000fps out of a 16" barrel. Sounds impressive. But its a 3 piece cartridge case. Stainless head and brass (alloy?) body which makes it a bit lighter per Army's request. However, at this time Sig is recommending not to reload it. So shooting this thing could get right expensive.

Just to clarify my earlier post, I fully agree with btq96r that many gun owners need to be more responsible, However, I am in no way advocating that they be held responsible for the acts of a criminal. Many of these kid criminals are the result of failed parenting. I've personally witnessed a 13 year old tell a LEO straight to his face that he would kill another kid. But when Momma showed up, she absolutely denied that her little angel would ever do anything wrong. Just wouldn't hear it and said the Police and several witnesses were all liars. That's what we're dealing with.

I think in every service that they teach in basic training that no matter how bad the battle is, no matter how horrible or terrifying. There will always be that one guy on the other side who still has enough of a sense of humor that he'll shoot you in the butt if he gets a chance.

I got an e-mail from Tennessee Firearms Association on this very subject today. Here's what they say.

Good manners and common courtesy cost you nothing. But it sure makes life more pleasant.

Its a little on the light side of velocity. Made for Cowboy competition. Less recoil for faster times. Should be fine for range ammo and paper punching. You don't reload?

Looks like RK Gun Shows has found themselves a new Venue in Memphis at the Shriner's Temple. Next show is March 7. This just off HWY 70/Summer Ave in East Memphis. Pretty easy to get to and a whole lot closer to my home. RK's web site shows a map. I've seen this building before. I think they'll have plenty of space for vendors, but I'm not sure if there's enough parking. I guess we'll find out. Al Chymia Shriners Building 5770 Shelby Oaks Drive Memphis, TN 38134

Congratulations! Love and appreciate a good woman while you can.

Never pass up a good opportunity to shut up.

I don't think road racing is popular enough around this part of the country to support such a track. Now if they were to build it and then add a big NASCAR oval around it, it just might fly.

So much for "Green" energy. I swear, saving the planet is going to bankrupt and kill us all.

HOLY CRAP! Uh-uh Bubba, no way I'd do something that crazy.

I love revolvers, but never could understand the attraction of a wheel gun in an semi-auto cartridge. There are lots of smaller pistols in 9mm available today and they hold more rounds. Frankly, I consider the .38 Special a better round in a short barreled revolver and no moon clips to fool with. BTW: I bought a case of the Federal 158gr SWHPs just about a month ago. I checked and they are roll crimped.

Nope, much more comfortable than you'd think. He'd put it on in the morning and wear it all day, every day.

A friend of mine used to carry in a belly band. He'd wear it high on his chest with the gun positioned under his left arm similar to a shoulder holster. He was also very fond of western style shirts with snaps instead of buttons. If needed he's just do the "Superman" thing and could access the gun quickly. BTW: his EDC was a 6" S&W Model 29. He was a big old barrel chested guy and if you didn't know it was there, you'd never spot that cannon.

They aughta sell Hoppe's #9 perfume. Guys would love it!

I'm old school. I was taught that if you can hit a 9" paper plate out to 25 yards, that was good enough.

Its not that I don't like it, its just impractical for me. I don't have the luxury of shooting on private land. I have to go to my club range where there are usually other people shooting non-suppressed firearms. I still have to wear ear protection. So what's the point? Besides cleaning the thing is a real PITA. So I don't bother to get it dirty.

I spoke to my younger son about it and he completely understands. Most likely it'll end up with the BATF. At that point I won't care anyway. Since its not worth much and doesn't take up much room in the safe, I've decided to just keep it. Who knows, maybe someday the zombies will come?

I tried calling a couple of the places Capbyrd mentioned. Nobody is very interested and the folks at Arms Fair said that they would buy it, but I had to pay the transfer fee. WTF! Now I regret ever buying the damned thing. I'll make the situation known to my sons and they can deal with it however they want. Including surrendering it.

Well hell, I was hoping to get more for it. I don't know. I need to think about it. Maybe I'll just tell the boys that if they don't want it, just surrender it to BATF.
