http://www.denverpost.com/news/leg/leg0202a.htm Senate supports strong background checks By Mike Soraghan Denver Post Capitol Bureau Feb. 2 - The Colorado Senate handed the National Rifle Association a defeat Tuesday, endorsing a strong criminal background check that could block some people...

Well, now that I have a coupla good hunting rifles (an Enfield .303 and a Marlin .45-70), I'm thinking I should probably put them to use. Problem is, I have *no* hunting experience. Not even squirrels or crows. I tend to prefer the company of animals to that of humans, and I'm more disturbed by...

http://www.userfriendly.org/cartoons/archives/99may/19990509.html Hey, it's to do with bombs and stuff... that's close enough, right? ;) ------------------ "If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are...

Coupla nights ago in a pro-gun chat room, we had a visitor. Name's James McClure Jr. He's running for IN 9th Congressional. He's a Democrat. (cue the scary violin music) He describes himself as an anti-Statist and pro-RKBA. He knows firearms nomenclature and sez his all-time favorite gun is...

The range is hot. Shooters, fire when ready. ------------------ "If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance." -- Samuel Johnson

Should any Coloradan, without a criminal record, be allowed to carry a concealed weapon? http://www.7newskmgh.com/index-poll.html I have a major beef with this question: what defines a criminal record? Tickets for jaywalking or littering? ------------------ "If your determination is fixed, I...

Some weeks ago, during idle chatter at the range, I mentioned to one of the old-timers that I was looking to get something in .45-70. "Well," he sez, "I have a Marlin 1895 that I can't use anymore. Wanna see it?" Does Janet Reno s*** in the woods? He brought the gun next weekend, as well as...

In our last episode, BTR raised some concerns about voting Libertarian. I think Dennis is right, we need to put some heat on Bush. I will not vote for him in the primary. However, I do not personally agree with some Libertarian positions, so I probably will have no choice but to vote for him in...

I'll quit asking someday, really. :) OK, so I managed to yank the bullets out of my uncharged cases. In a bullet-pulling frenzy, I thought of the old milsurp .303 in the ammo cabinet... the stuff that only goes bang after 3 or 4 hits. I grabbed the boxes, and set to work. This is what came...

Stupid question: Is there some trick to using pullers that I'm unaware of? I picked up an RCBS puller last night, after doing a couple of carts without powder (duh). I can't get the bullets to come out! Yes, they're pointing the right way. I've tried smacking the thing on wood, concrete, and...

Earlier this week, I picked up a Lee Anniversary Kit, and 9mm and 10mm carbide dies. Hey, we all gotta start somewhere. :) I cooked up 100 9mm and 100 10mm over the course of the week. Today, I took my fresh-and-minty ammo to the range, fully expecting to leave minus a hand or two, even though...

At GT, some people constantly bash TFL. Fine, that's their right. Here, some people are starting to bash GT. That's their right as well. However, in the name of peaceful coexistence, and with absolutely no authority to back up this post, I'd politely suggest that both sides back off before it...

(No, I don't mean the book) About a century ago, we made a quantum leap in mathematics: the adding machine. It required some training to use correctly, but pretty much everyone who learned how to use it ended up doing basic math faster than they could in their heads (or with an abacus). A few...

http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/01/05/haunted.lawsuit.ap/index.html Suing a theme park because its haunted house is "too scary?" Gee, I thought THAT WAS THE FREAKIN' POINT! What next, people suing gun makers because the guns go bang when you pull the trigger? ------------------ "The evils of...

...namely, how in the hell do you guys crank out thousands at a time? I had a bit of extra cash, and decided it was about time I started rolling my own. I picked up a Lee (DON'T start!) Anniversary Kit, a carbide die set for 9mm, 100 Speer FMJ 115gr bullets, 100 CCI primers, and a pound of...

OK, here's my newest quandary: I'm looking to buy 6 pistols, 4 rifles, and 2 shotguns this year. I already know exactly what I want as regards make, model, etc. So, the dilemma: do I buy them from private sellers, thus keeping them out of the registration system, or do I buy them from my...

I'd like to take a minute to say "thanks" to the American people. Seriously. I expected, nay KNEW that there would be some overt act of asininity that would give the feds an excuse to clamp down. I've been watching the Times Square video feed nervously for the last hour, waiting for the hammer...

As I write this, it’s 24 hours until the turn of the century. We’ve been preparing for, wondering about, and anticipating this event for years, and now it’s on our doorstep. I’m by turns frightened and exasperated. I’m frightened because no one knows, or indeed can know, what will happen. If...
