I am involved in a discussion of the RKBA on a newsgroup. A poster asked what kind of arms the 2nd amendment allows me to own. I listed machine guns, explosives and shoulder mounted rockets. He disagrees. I wonder. During the American Revolution were the cannons privately owned? If they were...

Feminizing the Black Beret - WorldNetDaily article This you must read. Long but insightful. I would copy excerpts, but quite a few different points are made, all of it is good, and I can't figure out which parts to excerpt! Go read it...

Would Rich/TFL consider a 'personals' forum for single firearms enthusiasts to meet other single firearms enthusiasts? I don't yet understand the option of this new software to make a poll, but it would be interesting to take some sort of survey of TFL regulars and see what they think. I...

Played our version of "20 Questions" with the children the other night. Hubby's turn to pick the person we were guessing about. We narrowed it down to a real person (not fiction), alive today, male, with whom we've not had personal correspondence, but did not learn about via book, CD, video, or...

On 18 February 2001, while racing for fame and fortune, Dale Earnhardt died in the last lap of the Daytona 500. It was surely a tragedy for his family, friends and fans. He was 49 years old with grown children, one which was in the race. I am unfamiliar with the NASCAR culture, so much of what...

I have a Remington 870 20 ga. for home defense. But 'bumps' usually happen in the night, don't they? In the dark, how do I see that black bead to aim decently? Can I replace it with something? Can I paint it with something? Can you refer me to info on how best to modify this gun for home...

Hi all, We've just been informed that a daytime curfew ordinance was enacted by a city council with little fanfare. It's not my city, but close enough to make me very concerned. So now all LEO's, not just truant officers, are to approach anyone who looks under 17. The schools have issued...

I've had my CCW for over a year but can't figure out how to actually carry. I'm getting really frustrated. I've been lent a couple of guns and a pocket holster and a clip holster, but no other kinds of holsters, so I've had little variety to actually try out. Our budget is quite limited, so...

The following contains several articles/letters about a "gun activity called "Shoot, Don't Shoot," where students point and shoot real guns loaded with blank cartridges at a television screen showing gunplay situations involving criminals and police. It teaches children what police are faced...

I carried for the first time today. I don't have a carry gun for me, but felt that danger was possible, so I borrowed hubby's big gun and fanny pack. Danger? I was helping a friend pack to leave her verbally-abusive, adulterous husband. Though he was supposed to be at work, I didn't want to...

Hi friends, I've now seen several heated references to Project Exile mentioned in the context of giving up our rights. It was my limited understanding that Project Exile only applied to people committing a crime, thereby leaving law-abiding citizens alone. It would appear that my limited...

I have a friend who is trying to determine the value of a gun that his wife's family has had for a few generations. It appears to be a breach loading, single shot, rifle. Markings on the stock read Parkers Snow & Co Meriden Conn. 1863 Next to the markings is a stamped eagle with arrows and...

Utah Republican candidates information, Primary June 27 Governor's race Mike Leavitt/Olene Walker vs. Glen Davis with Greg Hawkins as Lt. Gov. Guns: Leavitt has served 8 years as governor. Recently he has tried to do everything in his power (and some things not in his power) to limit/tax/make...

The thread was locked as I was composing my answer, so I'll start part 2. 1) Why do you feel you want/need to own guns? I am like Colombe. Guns are not a passion for me. The right to keep and bear arms has become a passion, because of my interest in guns. My own interest in guns started out at...

http://www.sierratimes.com/edst051100.htm A lot of people claim that NRA stands for "Not Relevant Anymore". I wish it were true. Unfortunately, the NRA is about as irrelevant as Chuck Schumer, Dianne Feinstein and Frank Lautenberg - and much more effective at promoting gun control. The NRA is...

Yesterday I sat in the Utah State Republican Party Convention. All day. A long day. Our beloved governor (not), Mike Leavitt, has expressed a desire to oust guns from schools and churches--even those carried by CCW holders. I also understand he's banned carrying among state employees--but I...

The Utah State Republican convention was held today. My wife is a delegate and I helped set up signs for a candidate for the state Attorney General race. I took the kids to the convention to see first-hand how the process works. There wasn't a lot of good news for gun owners. Orrin Hatch got the...

My wife is a state delegate. We just got this e-mailed to us. Hatch isn't very popular among the Utah Republican delegates, and may not survive the convention. There is a similar resolution for governor Mike Leavitt. ------------- RESOLUTION REQUESTING SENATOR HATCH TO SUPPORT CONSERVATIVE...
