I like Gray's statement that, "They don't see the world realistically." If, rather when, he gets re-elected, Californians can be sure that their gun rights are going to be eroded into oblivion. http://www.opinionjournal.com/diary/?id=110002541 Blue Gray California's governor answers a Nobel...

NEVERMIND, duplicate thread: http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=135352 "As Lawsuits Falter, A Big Gun Maker Retools Its Image" Front page article about Smith and Wesson. On the extension, page A8, The Firing Line and GlockTalk are mentioned as outlets for...

So, who is going to nationals this year and what division/class/squad? I got my letter late last week. I'll be there shooting SSP/MA in Squad 14. Unfortunately, Dad is probably not shooting this year due to my younger brother's graduation from basic training on October 3. Maybe we can...

This is kind of an off-shoot of Correia's thread...... Let me preface this by saying that I have never shot a 3-gun match. I'm pretty proficient in IDPA and joined USPSA a couple of weeks ago after shooting a match in July. Here's the question. Since USPSA (or should I say IPSC?) has gone to...

Wall Street Journal, June 6, 2002, page A4 I don't have an online subscription to the Journal or I would post the text. Maybe someone who does can post it. Anyhow, there is an article about the ATF harassing 1st-3rd generation Lebanese and Syrian-American gun owners in Detroit. The worst...

I was browsing GlockTalk and came across a deal at Lock, Stock and Barrel in Valentine, Nebraska. They have Hornady "blemished and discontinued" rifle and pistol bullets at a pretty good price. I ordered 2000 of the above mentioned bullets for a little over $60.00 shipped. I can barely buy...

Recently, I took a co-worker of mine to the range. This was a paramount event considering about six months ago she was a PETA follower, a liberal, and a bleeding heart who had a neutral and somewhat negative view of firearms. After six months of talking and constantly inquiring about my...

http://communities.prodigy.net/sportsrec/gz-762d.html Someone on the Ruger Forum posted this link. Has anyone ever seen anything this extreme with a rifle? "There is no possibility, that this ammo was "overloaded" or loaded with the "wrong" propellant, as it was an early army-contract with...

I received a set of Williams Fire Sights for my Ruger P95 for Christmas and took them to the gunsmith at the largest indoor range in Oklahoma thinking that their reputation would guarantee a good job. Well, I dropped the gun off yesterday and picked it up today. Of course the first thing I do...

Let me preclude this by stating that my knowledge of knives is limited to the reading I have done online in the past few months. Anyway, I have been looking for a folder to carry on a daily basis and I will probably get some basic self defense instruction soon after my purchase. However, I'm...

I just returned from the College Republican's first meeting of the year. BTW, I go to a small private school, Oklahoma City University. Back to the topic, I brought a recent campus newspaper article to the attention of the nearly 30 students present. The article, entitled "I know why you need...

First order of business when I got to the range was to join the NRA!! I would like to personally thank all the TFL members for their insight in showing me how severely my rights are being attacked by the anti-gun campaign. Also for making me realize how important it is to join a collective...

I was at an IDPA match this past saturday and a LEO from nearby town was shooting his stainless Kimber classic. On the third stage, his gun failed to fire and he had a little trouble extracting the round from the tube but eventually finished the stage. After he was finished shooting, he picked...

My menu is missing the General Discussion area!? :confused:

One day my senior year in high school, 1997, I was walking down the hall in between classes and was greeted by the Asst. Principal and a police officer. The principal told me that I had left my car lights on so I headed out the door. Well, I had driven my dad's car to school that day and it...

Jeff Thomas mentioned Unintended Consequences in a previous thread. I have seen the book before but only online and in a magazine. What does it entail? I will probably buy it but just wanted to know what it was all about. Any and all reviews welcome. BTW, I just finished reading Vince Flynn's...

Hi everyone, I spend quite a bit of time on the computer at work and I have been reading the forum for over a year. It is an outstanding source of information and ideas. Thanks to everyone for contributing. The "CompuServe Firearms Forum" post finally struck my nerve enough to post something so...
