    Petraeus calls gunscope inscriptions "disturbing"

    And while I do understand why Triji gave in, I applaud them for having done it in the first place anyway. I don't take a stand on the God issue, but if there really ISN'T a god, it doesn't matter what's engraved on the scopes, and if there IS a god, how can it hurt to have a little divine help...

    Petraeus calls gunscope inscriptions "disturbing"

    +1 to Bill and to Bash. We are destroying ourselves nicely enough. The PC crap is just that - more stupid words so someone doesn't get their feeling hurt. XXXXXXXXEditXX As I said earlier, I myself am NOT religious, but I wish people Merry Christmas, I say Bless You when someone sneezes...

    Petraeus calls gunscope inscriptions "disturbing"

    afriqueart: I agree with some of your points entirely. But... for example, what if they engraved things like "have a nice day", "be safe", "don't forget to call your mother"... that would surely be OK... what if they engraved things like "In God We Trust", as on all our money... I have a hard...

    Petraeus calls gunscope inscriptions "disturbing"

    I may get flamed for this one, but even I, who admitedly is NOT a religious person, have trouble with this. I say BRAVO to Trijicon for what they did. Our men and women are dying to protect our rights - one of which is the right to free speech. Do our service men and women have to take off...

    You thought YOU had a bad day...

    I wonder - if there are any attorneys on here (or legally knowledgeable)... assuming you are illegal carrying on a plane, but you do it anyway (assuming you could), and someone went to set off a bomb and you shot and killed him, would you have a justifiable self defense claim, but get time...

    Who is your favorite LIVING gun writer

    My vote is for Mike Bloomberg. Best comedy AND tragedy rolled into one in everything he writes about guns.

    From the groove yard of forgotten oldies

    And I don't want to see any Rick Astley 'Rick Rolling' here now, dammit. Bad enough my wife does that to me once every week or two and laughs her head off.

    You thought YOU had a bad day...

    Serious question: If someone on the plane had shot and killed him (the underwear bomber), would that be justifiable self defense?

    How to carry semi auto

    The problem with safeties (IMHO) is not with the gun, it's with the user. If you have a safety ON, and in the heat of necessity you forget to flip it OFF, not good. Train, train, train, and be comfortable with what you carry and how you carry it. I have a 3913 as my every day carry. I have...

    How to carry semi auto

    Carrying an auto involves several decisions: 1. It has to be comfortable to carry, or you will wind up not carrying it, and that is useless. Thus, thin profile is highly preferred - single stack is what I use for CCW. Double stack magazines are thick for everyday carry and they are harder to...

    Confusion on legality vs fighting terrorism

    Not sure how others here feel about this, but would love to hear some opinions. The following article on Yahoo News now tells that the FBI used 'illegal' methods to obtain phone records. IG: FBI circumvented law to get phone records - Yahoo! News Here is the dilemma: While I don't love the...
