I'm shooting and reloading at a normal pace for me.

That will be a lifetime memory for your son, and a good life experience as well. I'm not sure January and a canoe are good companions.

We were talking about this a few days ago. As tight as tthe supply line is on food and medicine, I expect that somtime there will be something happen that causes a disruption in the supply, and thus a run on stores and a shortage. That will be a very bad situation if people buy up food like they've been doing with guns and ammo!

Right now, I think we all need to keep the pressure on our reps and senators, and see what happens. Assuming a law is passed, it'll depend on how bad it is as to what the next step should be. Assuming a ban, I'd like to see a whole bunch of us flatly refuse to comply, be arrested, and tie up the court system to the point it won't work. I don't know what happens then, but I expect the gloves will then come off.   I really don't see much of anything substantial passing in congress at this time. They are definitely feeling the heat from us, and looking at the 2014 elections. I'm guessing the worst case scenerio is being required to do a background check on private transfers, and maybe a mag capacity cap. Not good, but not the end of the world either.   Don't discount the power of th NRA. They'll be there for us.

Not by a long shot.   Some magazines were expensive, and primers were hit and miss. You could still buy an AR and 22LR ammo.

I'm not mad, nor upset, nor do I want to abolish capitalism. I am, however, simply amazed at what has transpired in the last month and some change. I'm pushing 40 years old, and I've never seen anything remotely like this. I'd love to learn something from it for future reference, but as of yet, I haven't figured out exactly what that is. It sure is amusing to watch anyway.

Well, it wasn't my first thought when seeing him, but I'm guessing it will be from now on. :rant:

Sorry to hear that. Our lab is only 2, and I already dread that day. You can sure get attached to them.

A few days back, in one of his many many speeches, the president was talking about gun control. He made the statement "if we can save only one life....". The first thing that came to my mind was how many lives could we save if he didn't support abortion.

I have one. The 32-20s aren't real common, and command quite a premium over their 38 Special counterparts, assuming good, original condition. They are a real hoot to shoot, but you'll likely want to reload for it. Also, DO NOT shoot ammo intended for rifle only in your revolver.

Did you go see David at the show? He sold me about all I could carry.

I said I wasn't going, but I did walk around there a few minutes today. There was a good crowd, but it wasn't too bad. I saw some good prices on a couple of Ithaca doubles. Aside from that, David and Sam were about the only reason to go there. It appeared they were doing a brisk business, and they took good care of me.

45-70? 22LR? Any of the calibers you mentioned would be great for me as well. I would advise you to look for an older model without a safety.

Pretty piece of wood!

This weekend, I'd send you to the Hendersonville Gun Show. Look for a sign at a booth that says "Reloading Supplies", and a great big fella underneath it.

2400 is a good powder for magnum handgun cartridges as well.

It's great! I intend to do it again.

You're right, It's NOT my responsibility. I am not law enforcement. I will attempt to obey the law to the best of my ability. I expect the same of you.   Do you remember a year or two back when meth was the big news item? We HAD to do something! Well, now it is like getting a mortgage to purchase sinus medicine, and I still see just as many, if not more, arrests in our local paper each week for meth. We did something, but did it help? It forced another inconvenience on you and me, but little else.   My point is that criminals will be criminals, and if they want a gun, they'll get a gun.They can break in your house and get one if that is the easiest route available to them. Let's deal with the criminals and not the tool.

I load my own.   As for 22s, I have two sons, so for years, I'd pick up one of those bulk boxes of 22 shells every time I'd go in a WalMart. They were $7.97 when I started buying them. They finally went up to $8.97, and I was outraged. :rant: We're still trying to shoot em all up.

The "car trunk unlicensed gun dealer" is ALREADY breaking existing law. Shooting Chapin is also ALREADY against current law, as is a felon owning a firearm. What in hell's oven makes you think ANOTHER law would discourage these criminals?   I'm all for stopping these guys just as you are. I just can't follow the logic that thinks while these guys won't obey existing law, a new law would really nail them. How about we do a better job of enforcing existing laws and prosecuting criminals?   Making things harder on you and me isn't going to prevent crime!!!

I understand that, but it is what we in Tennessee have today. Assuming federal law requires it, don't you figure there will be a fee (fine/tax) associated with it as well?

Here's my take on it:   There was all this buildup and hoopla concerning his introducing these executive actions. This caused some people to act a fool in defiance of something they hadn't seen yet. I don't think he quite got the reaction he was hoping for, but some, like the NRA, made public statements ahead of the announcement. People showing a lot of outrage, and then when this was unveiled and nothing was in it, these people look like fools and are now irrevelent in fighting anything else.   I do expect this wasn't the end, but just the beginning. Obama is pretty good at baiting other people into making fools of themselves. Remember the birth certificate?

You'd think the American Civil Liberties Union would rush in to defend our civil liberties, but as of yet, I've heard nothing out of them.

Fair enough, Mexico. Round up all of your citizens here and take them back home, then come back and we'll talk.
