Uncle Jay explains the financial meltdown. Funny, but I call this gallows humor...

My two favorite calibers. :) Agree, you need to be a reloader for the .358. The .358 definitely has the cool factor going for it; I like the fact every Bill and Bob in the woods does not have one. I like that meat damage is probably going to be less. I got a recent BLR in .358 because I figured I'd ...

Ya just can't blame the Mortgage Companies. Well, I can. Just because some no-account wants a mortgage, doesn't mean a bank has to give it to them. Woops, correction. The government, in its wisdom, detected "discrimination" in lending practices, so they have been regulating banks for year...

PaulB

Usually, any old thing, especially something I don't mind getting blood and guts on. Muted colors, mostly. I'm supposed to wear orange here in Wyoming but I'm bad, sometimes carry a vest in my pocket to put on if I feel the need. Wyoming law is a little heavy-handed in anything to do with hunting, i...

It may be true that putting makeup on a pig makes your pig prettier than your neighbor's pig - but he is still a pig. There's been a lot of makeup used around here lately, trying to pretty-up McCain. Sorry, the "fear o' Obama" ain't enough for me to wish for 4 years of Bush III, certainly ...

PaulB

If you can't sell them or give them away ( :o :!: ) you could do what I do and clip the articles that interest you and chuck the rest. Funny, I do the same thing. It's amazing how that distills it down; the useful articles fit in one small box, and they are nicely arranged by category. I've got abo...

President Bush, for all of his other faults, had the guts to take the battle to the enemy Except he picked the wrong enemy! Nary an Iraqi in those airplanes on 9/11. Bush indeed started the mess in Iraq. All illegally, by the way, if you think the Constitution matters. I had to laugh when you said ...

PaulB

I wouldn't have a problem with it. Killing varmints is often not about sport; it's about getting rid of varmints. In this case the disposal problem is solved; just shoot and leave them be. I wonder if a .22 CB between the eyes would work? FWiedner, I'm going to try your method. Why the red lens? Is ...

PaulB

This man wants to play politics with the lives of our soldiers? Oh, please. Let's not forget who started this mess, for no reason. Get it through your head. No presidential candidate (who's approved by the system, unlike Ron Paul) gives a rat's patoot about servicemen, nor about all the innocent Ir...

PaulB

The Oregon version of this law has an interesting history. In the early days there were no good roads going north to south. So, there was a period of time when the ocean beach was used as the north-south highway! It just stayed in the public domain after that. I guess I don't have a lot of sympathy ...

PaulB

I am sorry but fuel prices are just too important to the country to allow the market to be controlled by a bunch of greedy money hungry speculators. So, you want government to control fuel prices? You understand this is advocating communism, right? We went through this before in the 70's. Governmen...

PaulB

At least with the AIG bailout, there is a good chance of getting the money back with interest. Yeah, right. :roll: The way I look at it, any money the government has is money that will go down the rat hole. once again, i agree. the tie between government and corporate america will never be broken. ...

When did freedom become a political orphan?

PaulB

I've been running my Stihl 032AV for something like 23 years. It's like a Winchester before the rebounding hammer - none of the silly safety stuff, just use your brain. :D The only bad thing about it, is I had to have the carb rebuilt twice because I left gas in it over winter. The repairman told me...

PaulB

I thought it was "Adobe Wells"?

There was a big write-up in Precision Shooting magazine (or maybe the sister publication, The Accurate Rifle) two or three years ago. Sorry I can't be more specific; it would take some digging to find it.

PaulB

"No guns for convicted felons" is just more gun control hokum. Just laws operate to punish actual crimes, not to (allegedly) prevent crimes.

PaulB

Sorry if I blamed you Kid. :) I had to laugh at you rating GW Bush, Our Torture President, as #2. Just goes to show there is no accounting for taste. It used to be that R politicians could at least make a semi-plausible case that, while they were scum, they were at least less harmful scum than D pol...

PaulB

I began the conversation with Smith & Wesson, and they immediately said yes. They didn't even know what they were committing to, but they liked the idea.

They are probably happy to shake off the reputation of the last time they danced with government:

Smith & Wesson Must Die

PaulB

When the Republican party and it's members turned their backs on conservatives and against the only conservative candidate running for President, the election season ended and Barrack Obama became the 44th president. Yep. I made the point many times in various fora that if R's nominate anyone other...

PaulB

I don't. My hunting is pretty utilitarian, just deer lately. When it comes time to select which of my (too) many guns to take, it almost always boils down to my .308 Win Remington Model 7 (stainless, fiberglass stock) with a scout scope mounted. Scopes are good for hunting, but I don't have any on m...

PaulB

There are only 10 (or some such number) different plots for Hollywood movies.

I just had the same experience when watching "I am Legend". The whole thing about the main plot line, the man-made virus that goes awry, is ripped off almost intact from the Serenity movie.

PaulB

He told him to call "911", and he did as well. He's were it gets irritating - apparently 911 was answered by a operator in the neighboring country and state (we live less than 2 miles from the border), who told my neighbor he'd have to call the local police. He did, only to be informed th...

PaulB

I agree with Rihmfire, I think too many stores were built There's a very good reason for that. The government kept interest rates too low, lower than the actual cost of money. That encouraged mal-investment and caused the printing of more money, inflating the dollar. And guess what folks, the Chine...

PaulB

I live near grizzly country and wanted a bear defense gun. I ended up with a 5" 629 "Classic" that I load with 300gr hard cast bullets to 1180fps. The recoil is just short of the amount that would get me flinching. I got a little tired of hauling a 45oz gun around so went shopping and...

PaulB

I also believe at this point in history a more conservative candidate is unelectable. Actually that is not really so. Ron Paul was by far the most conservative candidate this election (depending on what you mean by the word "conservative" of course), and his supporters spanned the spectru...

PaulB

I have a Bearcat. It gets top marks for cuteness but it is a "gunsafe queen". Reason: I have not found it to be accurate, even for my low standards (in a handgun). I beveled the front sight so that is not the issue (a curve in the back side of a sight makes for less consistency in sighting).

PaulB

That quote by "Alexander Tyler" is fictitious. Or at any rate, he didn't say it. But someone said it, obviously. And it seems to have a lot of validity. Your question, how long do we have, depends. For what? I suppose you mean, when is this entire nation going completely to the dogs. Pret...

PaulB

No one in government pays much attention to the Constitution any more. America is going the way of all empires. It has been going downhill (in fits and starts) since Lincoln was elected. We are about to find out how an economy works without a dollar that's worth a darn. It will get interesting. The ...

PaulB

Really there are several discussions going on here. One about the meaning of words. Personally, I think it is too late to revive words like "liberal" and "anarchist"; in fact "conservative" is becoming corrupt in meaning as well. Friedrich Hayek noted this process in hi...

There is a better way. First, you have to recognize that Windows is not fit to run on the Internet. Solution? Puppy Linux: http://puppylinux.com/ This OS loads onto a CD. You take your normal windows machine and set it up to boot from the CD drive (just a small change to the BIOS if it isn't that wa...

We Parris Island recruits used to call the San Diego MCRD people "Hollywood Marines". :D I went through there in 1968. One of the happiest days of my life was getting out of "the Crotch" in 1972. If my son ever gets the itch I will do everything I can to talk him out of it. Fortu...

My first real bike was a 68 Norton N15 (Norton-Matchless hybrid, see this story and pictures: http://www.realclassic.co.uk/match03082900.html ). About the fastest thing around in those days and it got 55mpg. Later got a Norton Commando that I kept for 25 years. Now have a Moto Guzzi Quota (like on t...

There were a series of articles a few years back in Precision Shooting Mag (or maybe The Accurate Rifle magazine) by a fellow who shot a S&W 629 Classic and a Freedom Arms 83 (both in .44 mag) at 1000 yards using iron sights. He shot at juniper trees somewhere in Idaho I think. He usually shot o...

PaulB

Lately I've been drooling over the Ruger "Frontier" rifle in .358 Win with a Leupold Scout Scope on the rib. Handy, light, easy to shoot but powerful. Probably just drool though; as someone else put it, I'm pretty much "gunned out". (How many gunsafe queens do I need anyway?)

PaulB

mccain is certainly not the ideal choice but he beats obama and hillary by leaps and bounds.

No he doesn't. He's as big a liar as she is.

Keep putting makeup on that pig.

I believe that in the coming years, as California becomes more and more of a total police state, that those who are profesional dependants will migrate toward this land of slaves. There by, freeing the rest of the nation from their burden, and, just maybe, sparking some kind of exodus/revolution fr...

In every case, they come from terrible households-terrible in the sense that the parents are totally lacking in parenting skills... Why don't they have parenting skills? Because benevolent government has taken parenting over from parents (primarily via schools, which used to concern themselves with...

Regardless, she definitely did not deserve this. Maybe a life changing situation to make her rethink her ambition about disarming innocent people, but definitaly not being stabbed by her grandson. In my opinion, anyone who attempts to disarm innocents does deserve a fate like this. Her actions may ...

Another vote for the 9.3x62. That way you can use it here too, and it is more fun to shoot (and lighter to carry) than the heavier calibers. As much a classic as the 375H&H.

Here is Aaron Zelman's Memorial Day commentary, an open letter to our veterans (especially WWII veterans):

As for the second part: I hope there will be some dismissals of CPS officials and then lawsuits with judgments large enough to make the State think twice before doing this again....... Fat chance. Laws are for us peons, not the ruling class. This has not turned into a case of "the system is wo...

PaulB

There is an air of unreality about this thread. McCain being "the best choice we have"? Funny thing about putting makeup on a pig, you still have a pig when you're done. The same thing will happen whether Clinton, Obama, or McCain takes the throne. FWiedner, you're on target. Our economy t...

PaulB

The lady who wrote "Armed & Female", Paxton Quigley, was once a gun-hater.

Looks like the best tactic is to challenge any gun-hating female you know to a day on the range.

I don't think an indoor range is a good idea for that, though. Outdoors is much more pleasant...

PaulB

I'm late to this one, but will throw in a few comments. Even assuming there is "sexual slavery" and 75 year old men laying with 13 year old girls (is that a fact or an allegation?), it's still disturbing in the extreme to see the government tossing all constitutional protections out the do...

PaulB

Jarhead, that's a hell of a story. If it were me, I'd also have to admit to a change of clothes. :lol: Seems to me the CRF is more needed by the hunter on his first African buffalo hunt or Alaskan bear hunt, than someone who has done it many times and is cool about it. The latter can use anything th...

PaulB

Look at the bright side, at least some percentage of those people are learning to say "no". In fact, given the low trust of a lot of people in DC and other big cities for the cops, the answer the cops get in a lot of cases is probably going to be "Go f*** yourself!" :lol: Even AC...

PaulB

Yes, it will be another mushy Miller decision that both sides will be able to quote in support of their arguments. Full employment for lawyers and bureaucrats, and little better than that. Pessimism is certainly called for. A shame the pro-gun side gave in on "reasonable restrictions". One...

PaulB

I even remember before there was civil forfeiture at all. I think it was Nixon's administration, the RICO law, which the feds promised to use only on "drug kingpins". They had to promise that because it was so constitutionally questionable (read that as blatantly unconstitutional ). Of cou...
