Why does it have to be a choice? I got all day to do both.

I haven't seen so many people this happy that someone died since Micheal Jackson.

The long gun is usually in the car and readily accessible. But if long gun carry becomes law, I can easily see the ganstas carrying them around the neighborhood just to intimidate the locals. So I have mixed feelings on the matter.

Surveys are easy to rig. Its all about how you word the questions and limiting answer choices. The classic example is: "Do you still beat your wife?" with only a choice of Yes or No. I don't like the very vague questions or the available answers on this thing.

Technically, he was in the area known as "Mid-town". Known for being residence and hang out for many of the ultra-liberal and Woke Memphians. I'm surprised none of those snowflakes completely melted.

Police looked into it. Found that there was nothing illegal about it. By law, you can indeed walk around with a rifle. They talked to the guy who simply said it was for personal protection. No charges filed. JMHO: it was a pretty stupid move. It was legal, but it also freaked out a bunch of people. No need to be spooking the public unnecessarily.

I don't own any, but my late best friend was very fond of Taurus revolvers. He had about a half dozen of them. I've shot them all and have no complaints. If I wasn't such a S&W snob, I might own a few. Rossi was always kind of a bargain basement gun. Serviceable, but nothing to get excited about. However, Taurus bought Rossi out not too long ago and I hear they intend to upgrade the Rossi line quite a bit. We shall see.

Yep, that's the same questionnaire that other guy posted a couple of weeks ago. There was a long thread on it. Vague questions with vague answers. Many forum members had doubts as some responses could be twisted for anti-gun purposes. Plus nobody ever heard of this group before. There's some serious trust issues here. Some folks answered, I didn't.

Interesting. A laser and a light mounted to the scope? Does it come that way or are they add ons?

I wish you were closer. I'd definitely be interested. I've got an older Clark longslide that is absolutely magnificent. Jim Clark really knew how to build a 1911.

Yep!

Nah, the mob is much better organized. That family is way too disorganized to be anything but politicians.

I'm no expert, just a Garand lover. Its a shooter, not a collector. I'd guess around $1200.

With rights come responsibilities. You have the right to own a gun. You have a responsibility to learn how to properly use it and learn the laws about carrying it. Getting the permit proves that you are a responsible gun owner with at least some training. This could prove helpful if you ever have to deal with LE or the court system.

I only started reloading 9mm a few years ago. Up until then it wasn't worth the effort. I never did get around to reloading 5.56. for the same reason. But times have changed and both are much more expensive than they once were. However, these days I don't reload either and buy in bulk when I can catch them at a reasonable price. Reason being that components, especially powder and primers are hard to find and crazy expensive. I save what powder and primers I have for the other, more expensive cartridges I shoot.

I'm guessing you're talking about flashlights? I'm quite fond of Streamlight myself.

What type of competition are you interested in? It can vary greatly. Many clubs will let you shoot a match or two as a guest just to see if you like it. Most matches have a reasonable entry fee which everybody pays. But if you choose to shoot regularly, you might be required to join that particular disciplines sanctioning body.

About what I figured. Oh well, I don't shoot that particular gun very often. It can sit for a while longer without the brace.

So the no brace ruling is absolutely, completely dead? We can put them back without ever having to take 'em off again? Just wanna make sure. I don't trust ATF or .gov to not try again.

Black Friday sale at Walther! 25-40% off everything on their web site. I just bought two magazines for $10 off the regular price. Even with shipping it came out to less than ordering from someplace else.

When I was still working, we just bought whatever kit our local parts store had. Worked just fine.

Do you have a gun that seems to go along on almost every trip to the range? No matter what your purpose, no matter what else you will be shooting. This one just seems to constantly find its way into the range bag. For me its my S&W Model 18-3. This particular gun was set up by a previous owner with a red ramp front sight, a smooth faced trigger and a wonderful trigger job. I added a set of Uncle Mike's combat grips and its pretty much a twin for most of my DA defensive revolvers. This is the gun that taught me how to shoot a DA revolver. It goes to the range almost every time I do and I always shoot at least 50 rounds through it almost exclusively in DA mode. Its my favorite gun. :D

Greg makes a valid point. What are you gonna do with it? Hunting? .30-30 or .45-70 Self defense? A pistol caliber. Target shooting? Can't beat a .22. It all depends on your purpose.
