  1. Hey,   Quit clouding the issue with facts and charts.   Gun control and the 2A is all about feeeeelings.   You could probably produce another one of those fancy charts showing mass shootings are not perpetrated by citizens who legally own and carry firearms too.
  2. Having a pair of SPs, I have been "eyes open" for a steal on a .357/.38 lever gun...in the interim I do have a 9mm carbine which should be effective on critters out to 75 - 100 yards in the right hands with the right ammo.   How about .30cal carbine? Ruger made a wheelie with a 7" barrel and if you paired it with an M1 Carbine - you're golden (as long as you have a zillion rounds of .30 and reload)   Since I am not a hunter or do long distance shooting, I like PCCs (pistol caliber carbines) to compliment my handguns.
  3. also good to see an LGS able to sell ammo at comparable prices to the big boxes!
  4. I've got charter and I'm still pissed I have to pay $6.95 each / month for the stupid boxes to watch tv. Why can't I plug the cable right into my tv like the good old days and have one remote? Being a hot spot for free after I pay the cable company full retail for service? Eat my shorts!
  5. I agree that these jack offs are hurting the rest of us, but they don't care. They are simply exhibiting base human nature of selfishness under the guise of "it's my right"
  6. I haven't paid too much attention to the .22 shortage since I tradedl my .22 right before the scare and have never replaced it. I'm back on the hunt for both a pistol and rifle...
  7. Regardless of whether or not their actions adversely effect main stream gun carriers specifically and gun owners in general, it is their 2A Right and they also have the right to express it publicly. Apparently they don't care that their actions give ammo to the libs and reinforce the stereo type of "those crazy paranoid gun owners" fed to the masses. My knowledge of the old west comes from Hollywood, but even in those wild and wooly days I don't think the populace walked around with long guns especially when going to the general store. "Lock and load dude, we're out of cheese puffs and mom said we could borrow her car so we can go to Target."
  8. Protecting yourself from an armed assailant is a job, right? So my gun is a tool that sits in a toolbox on my belt until I need it. The tool you bought knowing you may need it but hope to never have to use it.
  9. Whoa, all that .22; did you hit the lottery, rob from your retirement fund or sell a kidney? All joking aside good to see .22 becoming more available!
  10. Papa has piqued my curiosity on the Greek pizza too...
  11. Only thing guv'mint is concerned about is their "fair share" of revenue on the bribes, kickbacks and profit margins. They use antitrust, mail/wire fraud and the rest to make us feel good about how guv'mint investigates, prosecutes and enforces the law to protect us little people. Will they prosecute those who paid bribes and kickbacks if discovered some were guv'mint employees?
  12. more like halo, call of duty and gta...
  13. Watched through the credits, ammo is fiocchi 9x21 124gr. Make a difference at these distances?
  14. Looks good to me, what's beyond the logs?
  15. I renewed by mail and it took 3 weeks. Others have had similar experience but I would be proactive once you get your renewal form.
  16. My opinion on selecting a bug would be partly based on how well I could shoot it with my off hand. Makes sense since it is probably carried from weak side draw. If I present my bug I figure: 1. Can't access my primary (time/body position in relation to direction of threat)2. My primary fails and I don't have time with weak side draw to switch the bug to strong side shooting 3. Strong side is immobilized from injury 4. I'm a southpaw and get car jacked- its nigh impossible to left hand draw from the driver's seat and target a threat in the driver's window. My bug is a car gun for that very reason. I don't carry my bugs since they are not lightweights and have been primaries - MK9 and a pair of SP101s (and the MK9 is currently in primary rotation)
  17.   DS, I don't know exactly how May apples grow, but if they're like regular apples, you must have some pretty cool tree-climbing turtles out there in Grainger County...
  18. I think it would be "safer" not to head down range when the line was hot, even if I had trained with my shooting buddies.   I understand they have trained / deployed together and probably have the skill set to operate safely in this kind of environment.   Heading down range in this particular scenario didn't appear to be a training exercise, just one guy impatient to allow the shooter to finish and wanted to get the target ready for when it was his turn.   What if the Saiga had jammed, shooter muzzle-swept the area when trying to clear and had a ND? Not probably but falls within the realm of possible.
  19. You may get a knock on your door inquiring why you're trying to buy second hand yellow cake from Iraq...
  20. This is a very important feature for any handgun owner who moonlights as a double naught spy
  21. For "dressy" I bought a black leather Goodrich and Gould at Greene's. sub 50. My first belt was the 5.11 Casual - maroon leather made in China. This belt has been in service got 5+ years and construction wise still in great shape. Down side is how poorly the finish has held up in the area where the holster clip rides on the belt. I guess I could hit it with some shoe polish...
  22. CZ fan because they're "czexy" I've got 2, a 75B Omega and P01 SDP ergonomically the best for my hand. My MK9 isn't too far behind and I have a special place in my heart for my pair of SP101 s
  23. Check out ebolamonkeyman.com
  24. 2 posts and he probably gets an over ride from the Internet retailer. Cool t shirt and teespring looks like a neat idea for marketing/selling without having to stock inventory. May be a violation terms of use AND let's get some TGO shirts designed!
  25. Either/or for me depending on attire. I didn't find the cross breed style comfortable and landed on the N82 tactical. Mostly love it.
