Just some quick notes not sure if they were mentioned... 1. The guns were registered to his mom who he shot...she was responsible for the tools 2. This school had an extensive buzz in only policy and this guy got buzzed in by someone who knew him and his mom. 3. Having more guns may not prevent the violence but it may lower the body count...Bad guys are gonna snap sooner or later. 4.Because of the way he got the weapons no ampunt of law bs would have slowed him down.

Well the ordinances changed so no more pumpkin shooting I was there n it was a drag...I will not pay to go to a range to a third party..that sounds fishy to me...is it private range?

So it is the 3rd this saturday correct?...supposed to be the best weather all week around here. Anyone else headed out?

OK Let's get a huge group together for the pumpkin shoot....

Still available?

I'm a vapor till the pumpkin shoot with too much work...not complaining of course just saying...lol

I'm available on FRI the 21st... When ois the Pumpkin Shoot? I'm headed out there FRI 90% sure now.

My thought exactly!

Too many variables to say if a CCW or two would have helped or hindered in this situation, so many what if's I am glad this ended as quickly as it did with no idea of what might have been if a police or hostage standoff...12 out of 50 plus hundreds more in theatre..I will thank God it wasn't worse.

Now they say 12 dead and the guy had "sophisticated" booby traps at his apartment....this guy is gonna give some poor group a bad label.

Well I would not drag my 8, 5 or 3 yr old to a movie they wanted to see that late let alone a action flick like Batman...this nutcase is the perfect example of why everyone should open carry or carry in general...I bet "if" someone engaged him they would have had to be very well trained or lucky...the guy unloaded then walked out...no hostage situation, so obviously your engagement would have been in the midst of shtf.

Even with a CCW I read he had a vest, add to all the panic and pushing a head shot with your ccw...have fun with that. It definately sucked! Hope the people of Aurora can move on. What was someone doing at the theatre that late with an infant anyways? My thoughts exactly. I cannot believe not a single CCW was in that theater. I bet there were at least two or three but even trained people in a stressful environment can lose all the training they had and fall into the panic of the social shit storm.

Absolutely. The men were still armed and still moving. They could have easily turned and started shooting back... and as a matter of fact I believe that one of the reasons they didn't stop to turn back is because all they kept hearing was 'BANG BANG BANG BANG'. Now, once they exited the store and were out of sight, going outside and continuing to chase them would put someone's claim to self defense into question. This older gentlemen performed superbly. He waited until he had an opportunity to draw and acted quickly and violently which gave him the edge over these punks. Thank you

Once they turned and ran he continued shooting? Is that ok?

Now, this looks like a fairly easy, common sense, approach to this problem. Do you think layers of Aluminum Foil (heavy duty) would work for budget constrained folks? I'd try it myself, but, my next range day is still a couple of weeks away. dammit... It may but mine is a piece of sheet aluminum and the holes add airflow it looks good and not many rattles if it is positioned and bent right. Layers of heavy duty may be better if it adds a layer of air in between each fold and it is more pliable for initial install as well.

I have a bent sheet of aluminum in the hand guard with holes drilled in the had guard and after 1-200 rounds the forend isnt bad its the barrel and gas tube that will scart your hand or face if touching it.

Thats an interesting mod...I like his idea of the shortened threaded barrell.

I have written to Marlin to bring back the papoose..but this is definately on the table. I am sure I could get the better trigger are the barrels upgradeable as well.

I am not a big 10/22 guy but this is definately in my wish list.

Anyone else as excited as I am to learn about this? http://www.ruger.com/products/1022Takedown/models.html

Kinda cool and scary if it is a real zombie...lol Seems like the "outbreak" is still in FL so let's see how long it takes to get up north here with all the redneck rambo's ready to rock dwn there...lol

I have at least 5,000 + rounds through mine its an 09 and I shoot the hell out of it. No issues that I can see...but then again I do not but a micrometer on it after every shoot...lol I mostly don't clean it either but then I'll drink terpentine and piss on it one day to clean er out...lol

When I ran for State House after I signed on to run my e-mails got delayed by days while President Bush and VP Cheney read through them it seemed...lol
