Guns don't have an expiration date on them, nor does their value depreciate with age. If it was in fact unfired in the box with all the paperwork, the gun store did nothing wrong. I'd love to find a pre '64 Winchester model 70 in "new" condition at a gun store!

A good quality gun belt is essential for comfortable carry. Making a double layer gun belt is labor intensive, and in turn expensive. One will last a long, long time, and be worth it's weight in gold if you intend to carry regularly. Here are a few I made, and $80 is more than a fair price. Although I haven't owned one, I've heard nothing but good reports about beltman belts.

Amen.

That stuff can get slick. Did the state salt it?

Except for engine oil, I don't usually change any other fluids in my vehicles as a part of maintenance. Sometimes they get changed as a part of another repair. If you only got 41k miles out of the factory brake pads, you either pull a heavy load with it, or you need to work on your driving skills. If you don't want to be broke, you'll probably want to steer clear of the dealership's garage.

I heard an ad on the radio yesterday for another Goodman show this wekend at the fairgrounds. 2 weekends in a row? Really??!!?

I once saw a great big fellow getting rowdy in a pool hall. The mere sight of a Colt 25 sent him packing for the door. I'm of the belief that a small gun on your person is much more valuable than a great big gun you decide to leave at home. That being said, I'm quite happy with my LCP or Smith J frame.

Sorry if this offends, but when I see a guy with a fanny pack, I think: 1)He's got a gun, 2)He's gay, or 3)Both.

I do not enjoy the company of police or lawyers/judges. I wouldn't shoot unless I believed it was my/my family's only chance at survival. Furthermore, I'd have no interest in sticking around to be a witness.

Supporting her bad desicions will rarely help the kids in the long run.

If she were my daughter, I wouldn't help try to get the car back. It would be a good lesson for her to be on foot for a while. Sounds like she needs a new boyfriend.

Starline and Mag-Tech have both been very good quality brass, in my experience, at competitive prices. Sorry, I reread your post. Winchester and Federal have both served me well, and Remington is usually pretty good.

Yeah....I'd say that's pretty much it.

The number under your name doesn't tell me you are a kid; the content of your posts and your know everything attitude stand alone in that regard. I know guys your age who are quite mature; some beyond my maturity level. I don't care how many classes you've attended, or how much paper you've shot. Until you have some experience with live human flesh, you should probably tone down your opinions on personal defense a bit. I've never fired at anyone, and am not an expert on the subject. I do believe that there have been enough people mortally wounded with revolvers to call one a viable defensive weapon. It's great you have formed an educated opinion on the subject. What you need to understand is that opinions that differ from yours aren't always wrong.

I admit I expected to get pizzed off reading the link, but I read it anyway....why, you ask? I don't know. Good article.

I remember him saying this: I'm just happy I don't do all the close quarters gun fighting you guys do. I'll keep my revolver, and you enjoy your plastic toy. Seriously, barring military combat, how many rounds are the most you've ever fired while defending yourself in a single situation? My answer would be zero. I don't wish to convert you to my way of thinking, but telling someone else their choice "sucks" is being a bit of an ass to put it bluntly.

I did not know that. They have improved the quality of them, in my opinion.

Why don't you carry another M&P as a backup then? Revolvers do not suck. Assuming they are loaded, they go "bang" with each pull of the trigger like they were designed to do. They don't jam, stovpipe, magazine doesn't fall out, etc. They just go "bang".

I think there's another older fellow on here who posts occasionally from Lafayette, but I don't know him personally. Not sure about anymore around Westmoreland. Do we need to "get prepared"? I'm probably too lazy to do much.

I didn't know anyone watched preseason football.

:DMike, I can always count on you for a laugh.

I guess I'm on my own up here in hillbilly land. Maybe 56FordGuy would have some extra homebrew if things really get bad.

+1 I don't expect Mr. Miculek is worried much about someone's plastic pistol, flash mob, flashdance, etc. Yeah....they really suck. To address the OP, the flashmob gangs are usually kids. The sight of a handgun, let alone an actual report from one would likely disperse them in an instant. I highly doubt you'd get a chance at a second shot.

David is a nice and helpful guy. Bill Goodman and Bob Pope can both kiss my posterier. Unless something drastically changes, I'll not be back to either of their shows. Especially Pope. They've taken a great idea and ruined it. The RK shows, in my opinion, are o.k. There's a small show a few times a year in Cave City Kentucky that I always enjoy. I've also liked the one in Sparta. Why no one in Nashville can produce a decent show is beyond me.

I had 223 brass, bullets, dies, and loaded ammo for years while not having a rifle chambered for it. I've since rectified that situation. I'd buy a bunch of 303 Savage ammo today if I found a deal on it. I don't have one of those either......yet.
