Even within medicine, the media scares people of drugs that 1 out of 100,000 per year gets some deadly side effect, when the condition we are treating may kill 1 out of 100! It is because they sell the sensational, thrive on fear, and are basically liberal socialists who loathe 'corporations.' Pedia...

Well, I'd be sure and pack a .45 ACP with a couple spare magazines for yourself, and the same for any family member with you, unless they prefer a .357 5-shot. Maybe in one duffel pack a .223 or 7.62 in case you get stranded. Probably 50 rounds apiece should do with the .45's, and if you can pack th...

Got an e-mail from a local group and when I looked up the links the ban (of course not called that, but that is the effect) is actually on the roster in INDIANA!

Re: .357 velocities vs 9mm & .40 in carbine
I am curious as to how the 9mm and .40 S&W chambered carbines compare to the velocity gains that you see with the .357 mag. I know that you average 100 fps more for every additional 1" length of barrel up to a point in the .357 mag but do you see similiar increases in velocity in the 9 and...
