Re: I Am Riding The Storm Out In Oklahoma
It's the same here in the N.E., panic is an understatement! Our forecast is now 6-12" of snow, maybe.03" of ice. Just yesterday we were supposed to get 12-22" of snow. Was 1.5° this morning. Last Thursday I put a new drive belt on my Polaris Ranger so I can plow snow. Went out and got...

Re: I think I'd trade an AR-15 for one of these
AR pattern or any battle rifle is just a soulless tool. Yes I have them, hardly ever take one out, they just don't 'do it ' for me.
I like and enjoy any and all firearms but I'd walk past an AR with a table full of loaded mags at the range to go watch a guy teach his kids with a Chipmunk. 22 .
