This guy is most likely rolling over in his grave… “George Washington was born on February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland County, Virginia, at Popes Creek Plantation (also known as Wakefield). He was born in the Colony of Virginia to Augustine and Mary Ball Washington, and later became a prominent...

And ABSOLUTELY believed in “shall not be infringed” at one point in its history! The old adage “those who forget history are destined to repeat it” is slowly working it’s way to the original colonies being led by wannabe kings and queens who, while not coronated, their elections are quite...

Article says ban of assault (cough, cough) rifles and pistols, as well as ban on magazines holding over 15 rounds, doesn’t take effect until 1 Jul. Wonder what gun purchase percentage in Virginia will be next couple of months? I am very sad to see yet another state fall to the “guns kill...

So let’s keep this in perspective and look at the data another way - (actual number of gun owners!). Not going to do the math for all 50 States, but it certainly does give a different perspective. Texas being stuck with Democrat gun haters in Houston, San Antonio, Dallas/Ft. Worth, and Austin...

Found this interesting. At least a different perspective on the world ending…cough, cough. Though I do take with a grain of salt any scientist who doesn’t find much difference between the hard and soft sciences...

Combat hold is my favorite sight picture always! I probably should have tried irons first 😂. That’s usually what I do with pistols before I put an optic on - at least one trip with irons first. If I get another lever, maybe I’ll try irons first at 15yds (deepest line in my range, though I...

So after I did 28 yrs active duty and a couple years as a contractor, I did 10 years in USAF Civil Service. I concur 1000% with your perspective on saving mediocre employees. It’s the reason why I did just 10 and retired/retired at an age I could have easily worked another 10-15 years, if not...

I know there’s a few threads about USPS/FedEx/UPS/other delivery nonsense. Thought you all might enjoy that my prescription meds (nothing critical and I always order early) left St. Louis to Honolulu on it’s way to Texas…and will now be arriving late 😂 😂 😂! BUT - USPS does so well, they’re...

Figured I’d put this here instead of skills since it was my first time EVER firing a lever rifle of any type or manufacturer and I was really just familiarizing myself with the platform (aside from previously disassembling this gun and having to ask LGS armorer to put it back together for me -...

First off, apologies. Had mentioned I’d be doing a .45 range day this week. However, the EFK Dragon threaded barrel I ordered for my FN Reflex came in and I want to test it. Though I’d read I should fire about 200 rounds through a new barrel before suppressing, I only fired 100 today - will...

Or perhaps in any State where Constitutional rights are suppressed/removed, State level/private protection details should be outlawed?

Of the two 1894s, does one stand out over the other (for range use probably 99.99% of the time)? It seems the SBL is an upgraded Trapper, with picatinny rail and fiber optic sight…would that be accurate?

Folks constantly see Congress critters running to the microphone and TV cameras immediately after every “closed door” meeting to discuss things they shouldn’t or to disparage leaders. It’s no wonder many other citizens outside of Congress think it OK for them to do the same. And I get the...

😂 Apparently so do Henry’s. I have the Henry Explorer Carbine in .357/.38 on notify me at about 4 different online stores. Wikiguns shows out of stock (as of 4-5 hours ago) and I check every morning. The SPD Hush in .357/.38 same. Marlins, I’ve been looking at both the Trapper and the SBL...

So, I bet you thought there’d be some pictures here? I bought said rifle this morning and took it apart around noon to clean it and get it ready for the range tomorrow, carefully following YouTube videos on how to do it. Apparently said rifle was modeled after the classic Winchester Model...

I know the chyron going under a couple different news channels this morning read “Iran opening Straight of Hormuz with conditions”. It was my understanding there were to be no conditions, open it!

Meant to respond earlier that I 100% concur with this position (though I don’t think Iran should be given free rein to interfere with commerce in the Hormuz Straight until then).

It’s not a secret that only the US is supposed to adhere to the Geneva Convention “rules”.

US made almost no effort to win anything in Afghanistan. Look how long it took to even use the first MOAB. US could win just about any war their goaded into (short of mutually assured destruction types), if it were to use all conventional resources at its disposal. Just my opinion, of course...

I know that’s what/how they (Persians) think. There are historical records of other empires that used to think the same way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrender_of_Japan
