welcome! Cleveland and chattanooga clubs are pretty nice, but youll have to find other people to vouch for you to get in, may take a bit. freebie prentice cooper range is an option but the place is not manned by a range officer nor always in great repair.

Gonna take you in another direction. Lots of the AR red dots are designed for up close shooting, 25 yard stuff for "combat" style training and so on. Often the dots cover 1 to 1.5 MOA on a target! If you want to do precision shooting, you might try an ultradot (mostly for pistols but I dont think an AR would hurt it) which has tiny dots and is an excellent replacement for iron sights. Not sure about some of the other stuff listed but I would gladly shoot 100 yards with the ultradot on a rifle over iron sights.

its added to your final bid, and probably goes to the auction company's pockets or the sherrif's department (???). I would get there early and ASK before the bidding starts how the bottom line is computed exactly. I suspect its $15 for a transfer PLUS the $10 background check. Worst case, if you bid 500.... you pay 25 in fees and 100 more in tax and premium... your $500 bid, at the worst case, could be 625 out the door.... Or call ahead and get it clarified. Some auctions are very heavy handed for both buyers and sellers.

Why would a 357 blow up a 40? The other way around would suck bad if you somehow chambered it, but a 357 is just going to have some gas blowby and reduced energy and accuracy, its not dangerous. The same guns shoot both with just a barrel change, so its not too much for the frame/slide/springs either. The ammo supply is for the long haul, not fending off thousands of people at once so much as hunting and defending over a decade. I agree a normal family can probably only handle a few 10s of attackers with any confidence from a fortified position. I would almost rather have all pistols as well. Home base, one sniper rifle, one shotgun, one semi rifle are all good. Wandering around, a variety of pistols would be my pick. If I had a "home base" I would certainly arm it with bigger stuff that is impractical to haul around or for realistic defense. I would not want to have to hunt with a glock. I can probably manage a magnum revolver, but I wouldnt want to try it with most typical defensive guns if there were any alternative. If I had to hunt with a 9mm, I would want some shotshell for small game too.

people like romney are why I support a primary where the state's votes are divided by the number of elections since that state last went R in the actual election. For example, CA last was red in 88 I think, so their effect on the primary vote count should be X 1/5 for choosing a candidate. Asshats keep winning, people like mccain, because a few big population states pick the candidate and then don't vote for him.

Well if the thread is going to be alive again I will have another go: you guys make a great SWAT team! I gotta admit I am tempted, though my neighbors are so close I think just a primer would be too loud.. sigh.

I got really close, I forget if I finished the requirements but if not it was not by much, when I became really fed up with the other kids. A series of incidents involving some kids who never should have been in scouts left me cold to it and I quit over it. And the worst 3 of them were the sons of the scoutmaster, of course.

6 x 4.5 x 9 rounds for the thunder ultra carry 380, the smallest of their 380s. www.genitron.com has a lot of info but its hit or miss and takes a while to add new weapons.

All 3 are quite good. I prefer the cz of those, and that is 100% the grip feel and balance combined with the ability to easily replace the trigger with a SAO. I like the glock the least, also 100% a result of the balance/feel/trigger preferences. The next guy will say the opposite, because its all preference at this point when discussing quality firearms. Oh, and the glock trigger comment is not 100% since a cocked & locked cz has the same (SA) pull every shot. DA is a choice on that gun, not a requirement.

walther makes a .40 PPSomething. Which, oddly, I do not think is PPK ish, but it may be, I forget!

PJ, the sex is in the books to the NTH degree. The tv show can't possibly be anywhere near that level unless its a porno. the young daughter is a good one too. As is john snow.

Think we are looking at something like this, for pictures. But its not a gibson, just the general type of gun. http://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=18969.0

I recently saw an important post for those who worry about the zombies. You need to start buying used treadmills and generators to power them. Surround your house and plug em in. 90% of the zombies will just be running in place!

Ive read all the books and am awaiting the next. Too much sex and too little action, really, but they are entertaining enough. I wont say much since I am probably about 5 years ahead of the show on the timeline.... Alas, joffery has a different fate, but no spoilers, all I gots to say is I think you will be pleased with it. Tyrion is my favorite character.

the smallest 9mms they have (which probably share the frame with the .40s) are on the edge of pocket carry. You can get them in the pocket, but it can be tight depending on your clothes. So, call them "borderline" pocket guns yet still pretty darn small. I think you want the "thunder pro ultra compact" which is 6.5 X 4.75 and, as I said, borderline for a pocket. You may also look at the "mini-firestorm". Its the exact same size as above and maybe the same thing (????). I like the bersa guns a lot, but let me recommend you at least glance at a cz rami if you have not. The taurus pt140 is very small and is billed as a DA/SA gun but it has an internal hammer. It is 6.1 X 5.1 Unless you want a DAO gun, thats about it on the lil 40s. Beretta px4 is small too but it is so fat its very hard to conceal and not easily pocketed. Springfield emp is in the neighborhood and SAO 1911ish if you like that sort of thing.

10 or so real gems in that pile. And the rest a "pile" indeed. Guy looking for a defense weapon might score that beretta 92, one of the ruger 9mms or something but I did not see many compact carry guns, big stuff and mouseguns for the most part, lotta rifles too. And an amazing number of antiques and blackpowder and so on, desperate crooks indeed?

Well, from what I can tell these are almost home-made, single shot black powder guns, probably in the neighborhood of 30-40 caliber. The same things are also called kentucky rifles, pennsylvannia rifles, and so on based off the local name for them. They are all very similar -- it seems as if there was one design that was copied by every local gunsmith. These were the rifles used by the early settlers until about the civil war, when repeating guns started to replace them. Anyway, I would forget about wiley for a moment and do some fresh searches on HIS parents or grandparents. If you had a name for the first or second generation of the smiths, that would be a big help, rather than the last one, who inherited a working business. Wiley could still have been running "Bob gibson's guns and goods" shop or something, is what I am getting at... Everything I have found has referenced either abram/abraham or John gibson. And not much of that. Do any of these names pop up in your family tree?

and a those prices, if you buy them in quantity to absorb the shipping costs, casting is not going to be that much less. Its realy hard to beat 500 rounds for $30 or so. Not sure what people pay for their wheel weights or other scrap lead, but $4 per pound with all the work done for you is pretty reasonable.

not bad! Try dropping the gamma 30% or so, see if you like that.

At 25 years per generation, thats 1830s roughly, as you are generation 7. Any chance you are from england? When did they arrive in the states?? http://www.buyantiqu...nnonBarrel.html for example? I would try civil war forums/areas/searches on the web. Gotta have been making some for the war... I tried for a few but, well, curse you mel gibson! Just about anything you try gets 1000000000 pages of crap about the patriot or his other movies, and taking off "mel" only removes half of them. What about an Abram J Gibson? Quoted blurb: Although Gibson known to have been involved with patents utilized in making Pond revolvers, this large handgun clearly evidences many features of the large Prescott 38 Navy revolver: also: http://books.google....ved=0CE0Q6AEwAQ a book that mentions a gibson making a hog rifle in the old way (as if he were making replicas or something at this point). last one: http://books.google.com/books?id=G_dGAAAAYAAJ&q=antique+%22hog+rifle%22&dq=antique+%22hog+rifle%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=wDx7T42DFoWe8QTxkcnpBA&ved=0CF8Q6AEwBA so it looks like you may have to buy a book or 2 to find out more. I did not see a ONE listed anywhere on the web, not a picture nor an auction or anything.

well, anytime commercial ammo is hard to get, primers are also. So you want to stockpile some. If all you want is ammo that goes bang, you can ignore the velocity and pressure and all that. Just used published load data and it will do all you asked for. By all means, study ballistics if interested, but you don't need it to load ammo. Its fun, but extremely complicated... you almost need a physics degree or aerospace degree to really get into it deeply, or the background to understand that stuff anyway.

Only felony charges against you count against a HCP.

quote works. Your browser choked on the script or something, try restarting it or rebooting or ccleaner, the usual sorts of things --- see if it fixes itself after prodding. I know nothing about legal issues or even how well this works, but supposedly you can buy an ultra long barrel and drill gas exit holes in the last 2-3 inches to make a silenced, or at least very quiet, .22 pistol. Someone might know more about that?

this just in: "This happened within minutes," Jordan said. "We don't think the victims had any opportunity to resist, any opportunity to surrender." Well duh they had no opportunity to resist. What were they going to do, charge down the guns until he ran out of ammo then conk him on the head with their textbook?

There are a few types of red/black/white snakes and the bands tell you which is which. Read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_snake most likely that is what you were told. Using the bands to tell if it is a deadly coral or not. Ive never seen one and probably wouldnt remember the rule.
