Evidently, the DPRK views Austin as a major threat.
Must be all of our guns.

Re: Sad and Pathetic Political Correctness - Again
I think the problem might be that the deaths and wounds were inflicted by a US Army officer. If he had been just some religious loon who somehow got on base, it might be different.

Re: Please vote for Marion Hammer in this poll
They could also simply be ignoring duplicate votes from the same IP, but that would be giving them too much credit :banghead:
since an earlier poster here pointed out that 3 straight votes increased the total by 0.1% (at the time), it's pretty safe to say that they're not stopping ballet ...

Re: Please vote for Marion Hammer in this poll
53/47 hammer after my vote.
I'm guessing the total # of votes cast is pretty small. a dozen people here made a swing, and now the other candidate is getting people to respond.

Re: Effects of ammo shortages
I've had to cut back quite a bit-- I do about 25% as much shooting as I was doing last fall.
I had a couple thousand rounds on hand last October, and thought that would last me through any craziness.
That's now all gone, and what i've gotten to replenish it is a fraction of what I was using. The ...

Re: How dumb is this??
question:
It's my understanding that any written notice (in regards to an employee handbook, for example) has to conform to 30.06 wording to legally prevent a CHL from carrying on the premises of a place that's not otherwise restricted.

Re: Anyone use Federal Tactical HST?
I might have to roll by gt's here in austin this week to get fitted for a new vest. I'll see if they have any in stock. Their supplies have been pretty low. I might also have a box of 20? I'll have to check.
Even if they have stock, GT does limit to 100 rounds/customer per month, at least for ...

Re: Practicing with airsoft guns
I have airsoft versions of all my regular pistols (one's a close approximation, since I haven't found an exact PPQ copy).
They're semi-useful, but I'd echo the previous advice about dry-firing your real weapon with some snap caps. Also, Jumping Frog's safety advice seems highly advisable, and I'm ...

Re: Grandma picks up 6mo and 2yr old at daycare then shoots
so sad.
One has to wonder if this kind of madness has been going on all along, and we never heard about it? Or if the world really has just gone to hell in the last 4-5 years.
Seems like every other day there's a new horror story.
that said, i guess "assault revolvers" will soon be added to the ...

Re: Breakfast Klub owner patrols with AR
I'm curious why Mr. Davis hasn't been arrested.
If i were to walk across the street from my apartment with an AR-15 strapped on my back, and a police officer saw it, I'm virtually positive I'd go to jail.
