He was carrying a functional firearm and threatened to kill someone "in self-defense." He crowed about it. I sympathize with the guy and I do not disagree with his outlook on his subject of concern, but he could have made his point without forcing the law to call him out. We call this &quo...

Every action ripples through time.

If a modern squad weapon had been captured at the Alamo, everything west of the Mi...

I watched my pup dive head first into a local pond after a ball a kid had kicked the other day, about 20 minutes after I had read an article on the stuff.

Talk about a feeling of dread.

He's fine.

If two guns with iron sights have a 16" barrel and a 24" barrel, the longer barrel wont be any more accurate; but the person shooting it will likely be more accurate. The longer sighting radius just makes shooting accurately a lot easier. But if both were scoped and all else equal, (excep...

What folks seem to forget is the 2nd amendment wasn't about protecting the public from criminals or marauding Indians. It was about protecting the public from their own government.

The intent of the way this nation was set up was essentially that the citizens give the police conditional, limited, rights to possess firearms, subject to potentially arbitrary limits including how and when they may use them, NOT the other way around. It may irritate some egos, but the police real...

I'd suggest that's where shot placement becomes the deciding factor.

The placement indicated by the diagram that Ray posted above is ideal.

I've only ever used 158gr jacketed at about 1800fps out of a .357 for hogs. (They work)

I'll be interested to hear how a lighter slower bullet performs.

I have a smart-phone but I'm not obsessed with it.

I make some calls, do some texting, and take a few photos.

Most of the time I leave it laying around. I almost never carry it with me.

I see it as more of a burden than a convenience.

It's hard to tell from photographs, because all photos are from the side, but I'll make a wild guess... 700lbs?

That's a good-looking rifle. I've got my Dad's 742. It's seen light use and is in good shape. I've kept it clean and oiled, but it's been maybe six or seven years since it's been out in the field. As I recall, it was a good shooter. My Dad passed in the summer of 2015, and the last time it was used ...

For example;

The acceptable "Let's eat, Grandma" vs the cannibalistic "Let's eat Grandma"

Your use of the apostrophe is correct in both cases, but the comma certainly makes a difference.

I was hunting outside Yuma, AZ back around '83 and encountered a large Jack.

Took 3 shots at near point blank range from my Mini-14 to slow the critter, and then a butt-stroke to the head to keep him off of me and put him down.

What a beast.

Nostalgia is a wistful longing or fond memory of the way things used to be done. My lever guns are ready to go into the field with me and take game. Today. Newer guns are interesting, but largely irrelevant to my hunting. Calling a lever gun nostalgic, i.e, obsolete, is like calling an AR-15 a passi...

It's a disgraceful way to treat living creatures.

I'm not sure it would work though; it seems the only realistic defense against gun confiscation is to REFUSE to 'register' them in the first place. Widespread anonymous civilian ownership of 'military-style' firearms appears to be the single best way to assure a society will remain stable and not m...
