You can't reason with irrational people.

It's not too exciting - you get a pop like a champagne cork and half an hour later the bullet hits (or doesn't hit) the target sideways.

Been there, done that (.40 in .45).

Welcome Pilgrim!

I used doubled 2x4 legs, 2x4 stretchers and 2 layers of 3/4 plywood for the top. I have the plans from Stanley if you're interested.

#1 buck or .223 55 grain soft points. Seriously. A handgun shouldn't be your first choice for home defense. Living in the country, I have a 12 gauge pump handy. In the city I'd keep an AR handy (less wallboard penetration). When traveling I take the AR.

Let the b@stard know you're not voting for him and why. Send him a certified letter, return receipt. It's a cheap way to annoy jerks.

Let me know when you're ready to tackle an Ithaca riot gun.

What are the requirements for a CMP purchase? I was eligible in Michigan, but I'm not sure now that I'm in Tennessee. I have a passport and I'm a member of a local gun club. I have an FAL, but I'm not sure that I wouldn't rather have an M1.

"Fair" is just an opinion. In a free market, there is NO relationship between cost and price.

There's no need to provoke a confrontation. Just walk away.

I was at Benton's a couple of days ago. I walked around, shook my head at the ammo and handgun prices, and left. I didn't need anything that badly.

Welcome from Athens!

Nothing left for me to say!

I'm a loyal American. I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution. I'm a Christian. Compared to the people in Washington, that IS "radical" and "right wing". You're known for who your enemies are as much as for who your friends are.

Yep, the K frame (3" M65) went in the safe for the summer.

I let both Corker and Alexander know, after the first bailout vote last year, that I'd never vote for either of them again.

I carried at an IKEA store in Michigan last December -- it wasn't posted.

It's noticeably faster on dialup.

The Garmin Etrex Venture is a good unit to start with. It has a backlit color display and you can download cache locations from the net and have the unit navigate to them. I bought a used one for $90.

I'd like to try fly fishing. It looks like it requires a fairly hefty outlay of cash up front, for the rod, reel, waders, flannel shirt, pipe, etc.

I would never put silicone on a leather holster. It'll soften and stretch the leather. All you need to do is wrap the pistol in saran wrap, shove it in the holster and leave it there for a couple of days.

Welcome aboard! Where are you located in TN?

it amazes and disgusts me that so many otherwise normal-seeming people are in favor of the government not only funding failing companies with tax dollars, but also in favor of the government interfering in compensation agreements between private companies and their employees. The world they want, the world in which such occurrences are commonplace and accepted, is a nightmare world. It reveals a sad lack of education in civics, economics and history.
