    Armouring a non-armoured spotting scope

    After dropping my Burris Landmark spotting scope off the bench and dinging the edge of the objective lens cover I came up with the idea of wrapping a skinny bicycle inner tube in two places where contact is most likely (near the big objective lens and at the widest point on the body near the...

    Clinton to fight NRA after leaving office

    I've included an excerpt I found in a Ronald Brownstein article found in the Los Angeles Times (1/22/01) that I thought some might find telling. Here it is: "But it's apparent to those around him that Clinton will keep a hand in politics. More than any presidents since Richard Nixon and...

    California hunting license question

    It's not entirely clear in the regulations if one needs a valid California Hunting License to shoot non-game animals such as coyotes or ground squirrels. What is the rule on this? What about private land versus public for taking of non-game?

    What scope for Marlin 25N

    The rifle cost $100 and the scope and rings budget I have set for it is $60. I want a 4X and rings that actually fit the groove. I'd like to get some Marlin owners input since several mfg's rings I tried didn't seem too secure.

    Why will guns always be used in movies?

    Is it art imitating life, or does life imitate art? How about sensible gun use in movies, less graphic depiction of death and injury, and less gratuitous criminal insanity? And, why is the gun so important to a story?

However, at GlockTalk.com there's a thread where a fellow says he's shot a ton of rounds through his G-22 and only had two small parts break, an extractor and a trigger spring. His concern is what other parts may be...

    I'd like to find some areas near where I live in Ventura, LA, or Santa Barbara counties. Watching Elmer Fudd has truly inspired me to take up arms against some of natures' wacky critters.

    Because Algore doesn't have the needed 270 votes yet he has a larger popular vote count, if this were reversed she'd affirm the Electoral College as the legitimate authority. Who is she kidding? I say we stick to the constitutional system and rely on the Electoral College. When does Algore win...
