Ahhhhh......the lovely 17s. I had a Cooper 17M4 that I shot for years. Fun grass-patch varmint gun. Absolutely murder on ground squirrels, skunks, armadillos and any other small vermin. Still have about 250 pieces of new, unmolested 221FB brass somewhere. Thanks for the (short) stroll...

We have a gun show this weekend to celebrate America’s 250. Ought to be entertaining. I’ll make a trip in the morning, see what they have going on. I always look for reloading gear, spare pistol magazines and some ammo I can’t otherwise get locally. I might have to look through my “stash”...

Exactly. Could either of them have just walked away and deescalated the situation? This is why you always, ALWAYS have your guard up. No matter who, no matter where you are. I just don’t trust people anymore in today’s world.

Too powerful for what, exactly? No one ever said they had too much ammo - unless they were drowning or on fire. No one has ever said their ammo was too powerful, have they?

Met the man once, many years ago in Arkansas where he lived. He was a large man, wore grimy coveralls and a ball cap. Drove what I believe was an F100. Simple man, very routine-driven. Had his breakfast each day at the same diner in Bentonville. You’d never know he was Sam Walton. I suspect he...

Man, I do think Wilson’s are nice but way overpriced in my books.

Reinforcing my thoughts on Wal Mart, people in general, and parking way out in East Bumble Field when I have to go to that store …

The warrior mindset is to not take hiking trails, period. Go off trail!

No surprise. If Congress won’t pass common sense legislation that is backed by the Constitution, then the States will continue to try to redefine the boundaries by passing legislation in direct conflict with the Constitution. When the cycle will end is anyones guess.

I reload way less than I used to. Time means more to me, and I’d rather spend that time shooting than pulling the handle on my Rock Chuckers. I buy bulk for 223, 9/40. I’ll load for the revolvers and the 45, and the other rifles. With some of these newfangled super high pressure cases, I’d...

I do like the shot-shell!

Only ones I have seen were Federal. Don't know the story behind them, TBH

I saw a headline that said the life expectancy of new troops on the front line was about 10 minutes. I can't imagine what drone warfare must be like.

Revolver - most often was my M29-3, 8-3/8" (for sight radius), but I've used other revolvers. No optics on the revolvers. Elevated shooting house, bait piles, either bulk cheap dog food mixed with bacon grease or donuts and pies with maple syrup added. Distance was +/- 50 feet, as I recall...

That would be the Redneck Riviera.

Haven't personally taken one (yet) but have relatives and friends I hunt with in Virgina (black bear). I just haven't picked the right stand yet, I guess. I have been taking one of my large bore revolvers. I would love to have a rug one day. Hunting for pigs, alligators and birds has kept...

Same here … very interested at one time, but no mentors in my AO and then other interesting things took over.

Finishing my last cup (third?) of coffee, about to get in the pool and think about next weekends menu. Probably consume a few adult beverages this afternoon. No court in the morning, so I don’t have to be anywhere on time tomorrow morning, haha!

Disclaimer: I have never been involved in a shooting, and never even had to draw my concealed weapon. I am a civilian. Pure and simple. My needs and daily activities are far different from those of a deputy sheriff in my semi-rural county. Now hear me out on this. I know a lot of guys on this...
