Bought a pistol from forum member Rule3. He shipped promptly, securely, and the gun was received just as it was described and photographed in the ad. A well cared for firearm. Am very pleased with the transaction and gun. I also enjoyed exchanging messages with Rule3. He is a good...

As a kid growing up in Texas I was always an Astros fan, but I will always be a fan of Ernie Banks. Read the news of his passing a few minutes ago, and opened up my safe. Pulled out an old baseball program, dated August 5, 1969, that Ernie signed for me. I was 8 and Dad took me to the...

Patrol-car video of gunman firing at Seattle police released | www.kirotv.com Notice how their first reaction is to protect the DV suspect they are questioning. Then they take cover and return fire. You LEO's have my eternal respect and gratitude.

I bought a Winchester from muskieman223. He gave me good & clear communication, prompt & well-wrapped shipping, and most importantly a rifle that was as described and that I'm very happy with. He's an asset to our group. Recommend highly.

Didn't want to hijack another of today's thread - the Darwin award nominee who set his house afire by attempting to kill a spider. However, since that "accident" occurred in Seattle, you might enjoy reading about another one of the highly esteemed residents of the Emerald City. This...

Just completed another FTF with tmichael for a pre-27. I had dealt with him before, and just like before, this transaction could not have been any easier or smoother. Good guy and knowledgeable. Will not hesitate for a second to do business with him again. Thanks Tim!!!

Rant ON. Something happened earlier this morning and it's been bothering me all day. Was driving home from work at lunchtime (well-traveled unrestricted access road, 2 lanes each direction; no center divider; no shoulders), when up ahead I noticed a string of motorcycle sheriff's deputies on...

Some may boast of prowess bold Of the school they think so grand But there's a spirit can ne'er be told It's the Spirit of Aggieland. It's a FINAL, from Atlanta: The FIGHTIN' Texas Aggies 52 Duke Blue Devils 48 Gig 'em Aggies! Farmers Fight!

Really wanted to ask fellow S&W forum members: has anyone seen this product? How comfortable would you feel storing your firearm in it, for those times when you couldn't carry (i.e. US Post Office, Courthouses, etc). Hard to get a feel for whether that lock is any good. And it only utilizes...

What sez you, and why? Malt (chocolate, naturally) for me, without question. Can remember going to the Hygeia dairy in South Texas as a little kid during the summer. My aunt would take my cousins and me. It'd be hotter than... well, you know. It's gone now. But the memories will last forever.

This was on the morning news today. Worth your time to watch, as it's spot-on. Seattle is gun un-friendly. I was floored that a Seattle station would air this. From a 2A perspective though, the State of Washington is fairly good. State law preempts counties and cities from enacting their...

Modestly-sized show about 45 minutes from downtown gun-hating Seattle. This was the first show of 2013, and the first since the Connecticut shooting last month. Yes, parking was difficult and overflowed into the lot across the street. Yes, there was a line out the door in sub-freezing...

Heartwarming story and video, especially the part about her working hard her whole life, and being entitled to live peacefully in her own home. She did good. Bless her heart. 89-year-old woman scares away burglars with pistol : News : CarolinaLive.com

With our country's economy hanging by a thread, do you think Congress should go on vacation for a month? Or should they return to Washington now, and get to work on tax reform, entitlement reform, deficit reduction, and jobs? What could POSSIBLY be more important to our country at a time like...

The "champion golfer of the year". 42 years old, lost his wife to breast cancer 5 years ago, and worked to find his game again and climb back on top. Today, he personified the late Jim Valvano's quote, "Don't Give Up . . . Don't Ever Give Up." Clarke earned it today. The quote could also...

Just read where Maria Shriver filed for divorce - i.e. doing her best "Terminator", so to speak. I can guess that this one will be messy. What was that idiot buffoon thinking? Granted, the only people who know if a marriage works or not are the two people who are in it, but from an outsider's...

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Reagan assassination attempt, but somehow it seems like yesterday. The audio was released a couple of weeks ago from Secret Service archives, and I just re-listened to it, again. Still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. If you haven't heard...

Took in a show today, and saw a 586 4" barrel. Nickel plated, in great shape. Virtually no wear indicated on muzzle, cone, or cylinders. Timing, lockup, etc was beautiful. Square butt frame with wood grips. I was really looking for a 686 (couldn't find one) but asked anyway and just about...

Born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Hunted mostly quail and white-winged dove, but occasionally went deer and javelina hunting, too. My dad and older brothers taught me how to properly handle firearms at an early age, so am very comfortable around them, like many folks from...
