I was talking with a pilot after he decided that leaving an airplane was better than riding it down. He was kind of shockey but in good spirits. He made a very dry comment. "The only problem with airplanes is gravity."

It's been a very long time. But I recall using a shotgun for deer when I was there in the mid 70's. When did Florida allow rifle, or was it just that all I had with me at the time was a shotgun so that's what I used?

I liked my 24C as a camping gun. Best of both worlds. I'd still have it if one of my scamps hadn't made off with it. It's getting to the point I need to change the combination to the safes. I never know what might have gone for a walk a bout when those two visit.

I'm not the greatest fan of British comedy. But Wooster & Jeeves always gets my attention. It's not just the humor, it was the way the two actors played off of one another.

Sometime in late '73 or early '74 an RF-101 Voodoo lost power. Too far out to make the runway it set down on the I-15 between Victorville and Barstow. No fire, no smoke, just dead sticked it on the highway. When we got there crew was having a cigarette with the CHP officer on scene. This was the fir...

Thanks. That will make a nice little read.

AS he was a writer by trade his observations should make informative reading.

Be nice if you could scan the entire thing and post it. Just saying.

Congrats and prayers for everyone's wellbeing.

Doc, knives hurt. Not right away, that comes later. But it's what you do between the sticking and the hurting that makes all the difference. Of course, getting arrested did pretty much make me angry enough not to care about the hurt for a while longer.

Thanks for clarifying the LA situation, but, I did say ' probably ', and it does sound like that even though it is officially listed as a 'shall issue' state, the effect comes out as more of a 'may issue' than 'shall issue' situation; I'm glad she could at least theoretically get a permit.

Well, yes and no. They filled the same roll. But people weren't yet stupid enough to try and make up names like assault rifle.

It is Sunday December 7th. Right down the street is the USS Iowa. She is the lead ship in the Iowa class battleships. And as such the only one to serve in WWII.

What I'm gathering is that most of you are trophy hunters. Not taking smaller deer you think may become "special" or taking "inferior" deer to improve the gene pool. I guess I was raised as a meat hunter. I admit from time to time we would take an obviously injured or sick deer. ...

jeepnik

The problem with eliminating a predetermined "inferior" animal from the gene pool is that you start to limit said gene pool. When you do that recessive genes (the ones you are trying to eliminate) are more frequent. Mother nature knows what she is doing. Shoot a deer to eat, or if you must...

Hey, they got rid of border control between the countries of the EU. Once inside the EU they won't have their status checked again. So "moving freely" is exactly what they voted for. Why are they complaining.

Well, I'll pick one from each "category". .45 acp, .308 win, and 20 ga. I could easily give three from each category.
Handgun .45 acp, .45 colt, & .357 s&w
Rifle .308 win, 45-70, & 30-06
Shotgun 20 ga, .410, & 12 ga.

Got the USS Iowa, the first of the class, literally down the street. What I find sort of interesting is that these ships were huge for their day. When a cruise ship passes by either coming into port or leaving the battle ships look small. But this will give some idea of just how big these rifles are...

My first advice on most things is clean it. And by this I mean disassemble it and clean every nook and cranny. While you're doing this you can look at all the parts and inspect for roughness or burrs. I can't count the number of firearms, even new ones, that I have "fixed" for folks by jus...

Learned to hunt in jeans, plaid flannel shirt, boots, hat and jacket. But today's deer are apparently better sighted and much smarter. Today new hunters need rifles capable of one MOA at 1000 yds (because they can't get any closer), camo everything and enough electronics to stock a Radio Shack.

Frankly, is all the governments of the world made a simultaneous announcement that aliens were real and had been in contact it would be met with two reactions. Most would yawn and go back to their lives. And the crazy few would insist it's a conspiracy and aliens don't exist.

You're talking steel. I'm talking electromagnetic shielding. Mass counts.

Get real, you want a big heavy bullet to penetrate their shields. Minimum 45-70 525 gr. Or even better something like a 500 gr 460 Weatherby.
