    Question on gunshop protocol & manners...

    Okay, I don't want to be the subject of someone's rant about idiots here, so what is the proper protocol when shopping ? The clerk will give you the weapon with the action open (right?), and what is the customer allowed to do: - work the action ? - rack the slide ? - pump the pump ? - dry...

    Whatever the result, was the NRA an effective force ?

    There, I said it. I am very disappointed that with the huge push of PR, money, Chuck for another term, and tough talk from Heston & LaPierre, we still lost PA & Michigan. Huge "sportsmen" states with very high gun ownership. I joined this year and was very proud to help make the 4 million...

    A serious question for Union members.

    Will someone please explain to me, in simple terms, why the Democrats are seen as the 'friend' of unions, and a shoe in for their votes, while the GOP is seen as an 'enemy' of unions ? I've always grown up with that assumption, but it recently ocurred to me I don't have any basis for that...
