    How are the gun sales in your area?

    I was at the local gun store over the weekend and was whining about how slow my area of business is to the counter-dude, when he explained that gun sales in Indiana are much lower than last year. At least from his perspective. I know that I've only one new gun this year!:eek: So how are gun...

    Who shot birds as a kid with a BB gun?

    I am interested to know how many of you contributed with me in the killing of birds as a child. When I was a kid before I was 16, I had a few BB/Pellet guns in my possession. I loved the things. Those guns are the reason I'm a gun nut today. I tinkered with them all the time. Sigheted them...

    Old question with twists.

    I did this thread a while back, but I thought I'd run it back up the flagpole, as I see many new handles on the forum. -------- For some reason or another, you are only able to have four guns. What would they be? Not "when the poo-poo strikes the propeller" guns, but they could be. In the...

    All DUI, and no Perot?

    I listened to the ABC nightly news tonight on radio. I wanted to see if they would say anything about H. Ross Perot endorsing Gov. Bush. Guess what? Not one mention of Perot endorsing Mr. Bush. One is an attack on Mr. Bush and the other is a benefit. Wow, what a surprise in the case of ABC...

    A Beer 24 years ago, or an ice tea 1 year ago?

    Which is more important? I have to say Iced Tea. Where was the pack of reporters after it appeared that Al Gore lied under oath when he said he wasn't aware the the Buddhist Temple event was a fund raiser, and then had a memo come up that showed he was at a meeting at which the term "fund...
