  1. The Second Amendment does not discriminate. Anyone who tries to commit a crime against an armed citizen will bleed the same color.
  2. I should have gone oil engineering for more money. Auto engineering is clean, safe, and dry, but pays less. I have to be in Cinci on Mon AM for meetings. 3 hour drive tomorrow, I can do mileage, but no pay for travel outside of work hours. Soon you can log travel as part of the "casual hours" which are gay little things that mean you have to give time to the company before getting extended or overtime. Wage guys get screwed, but low level salary gets gang raped, no lube.
  3. I'm sorry, but I admire the Depression/WWII generation more than any other. Grew up with nothing, mobilized and traveled the world loudly kicking ass, came home, got married, bought a house, raised kids in such a great society they made TV shows about it generations afterwards, and then saw the ball they passed dropped by the baby boomers.
  4. The court does not require your respect, just your adherence to the rules. Freedom of speech is part of what the First Amendment protects. There are certain speech elements that are illegal. -Slander. -Fighting Words. -Classified information -Inciting violence or a panic. Amongst others. When you are in court, you are addressing not a Judge, you are addressing the Court. This is the law of the land, and, as an American citizen, you undertook an implicit social contract by being a US citizen to obey it. This is why the sovereign citizen movement holds no water; the instant
  5. Eastwood is a badass actor, but not a martial artist like Norris and Van Damme, and others. However, if you want to rate badass cowboys for fast draw, Lee Van Cleef was 1 frame faster on the draw than Eastwood. But, the faster draw was Trinity, because they removed frames from it. The best Norris joke is: Chuck Norris always has sex on top, because he never fucks up.
  6. Actually it's not, look close, 2 triggers. One press of trigger shoots more than one round. If the trigger has two trigger spurs, but they are connected, it's still one trigger. And it is different from shooting two pistols, which requires pressing the triggers the same times as the number of shots.
  7. My old man, grandpa, and one uncle served. They all made it home. My great great grandfather, the first guy with my name, served and made it home, too. I'm lucky, and all those fallen men mentioned above are better men than I. I have a question, and I hope it's ok, but I look up while writing this at the 8x5 American flag on my wall. I found it in grandma's house, and we think it is my granddad's flag from the funeral in the mid 80s. My dad doesn't recall if the casket had a flag on it, and I don't blame him. He was Army Corps of Engineers, served during the second war, and lived on f
  8. If you don't allow kids to play games, then you're going to raise a psycho. Sorry, that's how it is. Kids are kids. They need to play. Video games and nerf guns are where it's at. They determine what is cool and fun, not you. Teach them gun safety. Teach them that a gun is not a toy. It is ok to point a toy gun at someone in play or training; that's why they exist, and if you ever want your kid to understand ballistics, leading, and moving targets, you need to let him at that nerf gun. The difference between a toy and a gun is night and day, and all kids will understand and appreciat
  9. Society as a whole seems to encourage freaks these days. Used to be, you were ashamed of being a freak, so you hid. Now people glory in it. This girl does not know what rape is. I don't wish it upon her, but she'd probably be a better person if it did.
  10. Time to clean up the cosmoline. Picked out the nicest looking one with smoothest bolt and good looking muzzle and bore from a crate, got a bayonet and some misc pouches and tools, and a spam can of ammo. Should be cheap fun. 91/30 Tula Hex Receiver, 1939, I think.
  11. Because a S-12 was in Adam Lanza's trunk. No other reason. If I may, sir. "Because we are led to believe a Saiga-12 was in..." etc etc. I don't like the discrepancies in the portrayal of events of that day.
  12. I want to shoot one of those things once, maybe one cylinder, but NOT in one second! Great case of an older gent having so much skill he can handle such things with aplomb and not injure himself like a young moron would.
  13. We have a lot of non-hunters responding. The first question that no one asked is are you stand hunting, or walking? All the hunting I have done in south Texas is deer blind and feeder, with the feeder set about a hundred yards away. In that instance, I would take as much gun as you can. .308 is what I would consider the bare minimum for deer hunting. Yes, a lot of deer have been killed with the 30-30, but it's a very old round, and there are much better. Any intermediate cartridge is inappropriate for the larger of medium game, meaning whitetail and larger. There are superior cartridge
  14. Got one over Christmas from my dad's accountant's collection he is selling some of. Paid very, very little for it, and I am aware of the quality concerns over the carbine. It is the later version, with the slotted bolt, and the twin recoil springs. It is in good shape, and after field stripping and cleaning the bolt and other parts, as well as dealing with small dings of rust here and there, I think I can turn it into a light duty plinker range toy/varmint/teaching rifle. From what I understand, one should observe the bolt for signs of stress failure beginning. This is one of the la
  15. I point south because my shitter is oriented that way.
  16. Hell, some people are shooting the real thing here. Rapid, aimed pistol fire does not have the same cadence as firecrackers, and fools no one.
  17. Carry a sidearm for poachers. If you're doing your part, you should see all game before they see you. MT, allow me to throw a little Florida native light on your list: Coyotes won't bother you unless you're almost dead already, pigs will run like hell, and you will never, ever see a Florida Panther. There's like 150 alive total. Bobcat, sure, but they'll run too. Worry about black bear on the high ground, and gators in the swamps. Maybe some rancher's pissed off bull, lol.
  18. Lee's Law of Overly Ambitious Management: The only guy you want to promote to a supervisory position is the one that doesn't want the job. Lee's Law of Absolute Ignorance: The more ignorant someone is of a situation, the clearer the facts and the solution seem to be.
  19. I grew up in the 80s, so I missed a lot of the fun. About all I can do is live in the country, and run down the road in my grandfather's Chevrolet.
  20. Impressive. By offhand, do you mean off-bench or standing? I use the term offhand to mean standing, myself. Would you mind commenting about the quality of the rifles?
