Most of us live in good neighborhoods and do so without concern. What does concerns me is that bad people have transportation and can travel to those good neighborhoods. Not to mention that some people just do bad things, even in good neighborhoods. Always leave the house armed. RichH

I have been looking for a 4" .357 for some time and thought I' had settled on a Ruger GP100. However, yesterday I saw a used Model 66 stainless for $500 at one of the LGS. The gun has had some action work and seems smooth and appears to lock up well. Does anyone know of a reason this gun should...

Nice clock.Since components are, at best, scarce I have decided to upgrade my scuba skill level to Divemaster. Not any less expensive than shooting, but more readily available. Even decided to become an instructor so I will have something to do in retirement, hopefully in the Caribbean...

Here come the personal attacks. I must be brain washed, or worse. Great argument. RichH

"Up to a $1,200 tax deduction to purchase a gun safe and/or security devices through December 31, 2014." sub·si·dy (sbs-d) n. pl. sub·si·dies 1. Monetary assistance granted by a government to a person or group in support of an enterprise regarded as being in the public interest. No pardon...

I am left wondering why I should subsidize anyone's gun hobby. If one can't afford to securely store their firearms to keep them out of the wrong hands, should they really have them? Do I really need to contribute to their lack of responsibility? It seems that even on this forum, there is some...

There is nothing more fun than playing with a guy, for a small wager, that has a vanity handicap. I have never understood this concept. Why would anyone want less shots than one deserved? RichH 15.2

I believe, because of an article I read on this very subject, that you are required to follow the current state law of the state you are in. While you are retired LE you are back to citizen status and are not exempt from , at the least, California law. I may be wrong. RichH

Some of what money? Their own personal money? Why would I chip in to train anyone for something they want to do? I am currently training to be a PADI Divemaster, care to contribute? We all talk about personal responsibility and then you want people to spend their money for your purposes? People...

Could it be that he brought it on base illegally? As we have all stated numerous times, criminals don't obey our laws, that's basically what makes them criminals. Compliance with most laws is voluntary and even perhaps on the honor system. When one has no honor, the law means nothing. RichH

I certainly don't believe all permit holders should have to train to the level of Rob Leatham. Having said that, I do believe there should be some requirement for being able to safely and competently handle a firearm. Having been in many LGS and listening to the really uninformed questions, and...

As was said earlier, give the gun a very good cleaning, it will solve a lot of problems. RichH

The old joke is, What do you get at Home Depot when you ask for help or advice. Two people who don't know anything, you and the person coming to help. This seems to be the case in most retail stores these days. The fault lies squarely on management's shoulders for not training their staff...

Cdog has put it perfectly. It really matters more how much, what kind and for what purpose the ammo will be used. Everybody has their preference, think Chevy, Ford, Toyota etc., I have always thought the "Good old Days" were good because the bad times are forgotten and the fond memories remain...

Actually, that was former VP Dan Quayle, not Gore. RichH
