Got RIF'd out of my former job, and have just gotten a fairly positive reception concerning a job near Reading, PA. How's the gun rights situation there? I understand the deer hunting isn't so bad...

I don't archive my back issues of the Rifleman, (Perhaps I should.) and I've encountered most ill manered retraction of a pro-Bellesiles book review. (It's in the Federal Lawyer. Eugene Volokh posted it.) Sure, he has the decency to admit Bellesiles was a fraud, but in the process lambastes the...

And I get the distinct impression it was moments ahead of being fired. http://www.emory.edu/central/NEWS/Releases/bellesiles1035563546.html "Robert A. Paul, Interim Dean of Emory College I have accepted the resignation of Michael Bellesiles from his position as Professor of History at Emory...

Although I'll grant you, probably slightly less than Lautenberg. Just heard it from his lips, on Crossfire: He get's elected, he promises to vote for renewal of the '94 ban. I no longer have a dog in that fight.

If this ticket comes about, I not only won't vote for that S*B Bush, I'll actively oppose him! I ask myself, is he actually stupid enough to do this? I'm afraid the answer is "Yes!". Tom Ridge tipped to be Cheney's successor "From Roland Watson in Washington TOM RIDGE, the man chosen by...

I've been a (Admittedly somewhat passive.) member of MCRGO, the organization that pushed through Michigan's new shall issue law. Just yesterday I see the executive director has resigned, no explaination, and now their website just went down, with this (Sigularly uninformative) message: "Due to...

Just read this: http://www.dawn.com/2002/06/09/local23.htm "SWABI: Smallpox epidemic spreading in Swabi By Muqaddam Khan SWABI, June 8: The smallpox epidemic is rapidly spreading in these parts of the province, but the district health department has failed to take any step to contain this...

This is my pal Rick's question, not mine. Take it from here, Rick! Pistol is a Colt auto 32 cal, serial number 538487. Patent dates Apr 20,1897; Dec 22,1903. I am interested in approx. date of manufacture, approx worth, and if any literature is available.

And are my arms tired! No, seriously, anybody have some suggestions for home rigging? This thing weighs a good 900 lbs, and the only thing the user manual has to say is, "Look up a machine tool rigger in the yellow pages". I've thought of hanging block and tackle from the ceiling joists in my...

Since some of us here seem to think that it's actually reasonable to disarm people subject to protective orders, while others think it's insane, let's have it out. I'm on the "it's insane" side of things. 1. It's way too easy to get a protective order. No proof needed, it's routine boilerplate...

Somebody at another, non-gun forum, has told me that the facade of the NRA's headquarters has recently been changed, in his words, "On the facade of NRA headquarters, they used to have that very patriotic eagle logo. A few months back they changed it to a rather cheesy "NRA Sports" logo which...

I just caught the last few minutes of a movie on the Turner Movie Channel, "Carbine Williams", with Jimmy Stewart. It's about a guy who goes to prison for moonshining, and while in prison designs and builds a revolutionary new rifle, and wins a pardon as a result. Now, I don't know how true to...

Anybody know what's up with Bob Stewart, of Madhi-Griffin fame? Any developments in his case?

Wahoo! Just got the news, state Supreme court ruled 4-3 in our favor, official announcement scheduled for 3:30. Excuse me, I gotta go shopping for a concealable gun; I suspect my .45 revolver would "print". :D

Anybody know what's been going down at the convention? I hear Heston got re-elected, but what happened with the by-laws amendments? And did they finish the purge of board members who won't lick LaPierre's shoes?

I've got Bob Stewart's plans for the .50 cal rifle, and figured, what the heck, as long as I'm doing this, do it right. I've found a decently priced source for TI stock, http://catalog.ti-resource.com/browseGroup.cfm and I just have to decide which alloy to buy. I'm dithering between 6-4, and...

I've been reading recently the US v. Rock Island Armory ruling, http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/usr/wbardwel/public/nfalist/rock_island.txt and the US v. Dalton ruling, http://www.constitution.org/2ll/court/fed/us_v_dalton.htm which hold, at least in the 10th District, that the registration...

A fine rally at Flint's IMA sport's arena; Attendence was about 3,000. One little problem, though; They must have grossly underestimated how many would show up, because they didn't set up in the arena proper, they set up in the foyer; Standing room only, not that there were any chairs...
