...actually, Slowhand, as of 2010 the stats provided by the National Center for Educational Statics indicate there were about 144,000 public and private schools...K1-12 and degree granting colleges and universities in the USA. I believe the $150 mil goes to school districts and law enforcement...

....Vert, do you mind providing your address....and do you plan to go out for supper, shopping, movie....whatever, in the near future...? ;D Tarheel

Rick, I have been toying with adding one to my Mosin as well. A little research surfaced this approach, which I like very much. The Harris bipod is an excellent stabilizer, as I use one on my AR15. I like the way this guy handled the matter for several reasons. The bipod can be easily attached...

Here are the Executive Actions emerging from Obama's announcement and signed into effect during the news conference: 1: Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system. 2: Address unnecessary legal...

... ;D... ....uhh, I'll' take the pardon, please...

There seems to be a universal use of the two in the media. I think they are not necessarily the same. I've searched and cannot determine if they are essentially different. It appears that an Executive Action is an investigatory procedure vs. an Executive Order mandate which requires a...

Interesting observations by Bill Whittle, a very insightful gentleman reflecting upon many topics: What We Believe, Part 5: Gun Rights Tarheel

Tex, I checked all my usual Internet haunts for .22lr and all are out-of-stock. It is amazing that the little ole .22 may now be on the endangered species list. I have a 10-22 Sporter, but I believe the TD version is the same scope wise. I mounted a Nikon ProStaff Rimfire 3-9X40mm on mine and...

BDD, I think Skip was simply reminding us to stay on topic i.e. 2A and not unintentionally slip into a political rant that may wander into violation of forum rule #19. Discussions regarding a politician's (any party) actions regarding 2A, especially in the current climate, is fair game as long...

....BDD, I purchased a Golden Boy and my first encounter with .22WMR. We all know that the .22 is a lightweight in the SD league. However, after reading many reviews and having conversations with WMR veterans I went with Winchester Super-X .22WMR and am really impressed with its varmint kill...

...it appears that Obama is going to attempt to utilize his Executive Order privileges to circumvent Congress via various allowable gun ownership restrictions/requirements that could be chilling and quite disruptive. I suspect it would become a Supreme Court issue (the NRA has already postured...

...mukwah, I did something that is somewhat in reverse of your needs. My grandson wanted to highlight in white the etchings on his M&P 15-22 that I gave him last summer. I wasn't too hot on the idea, but, heck, it's his rifle. So, after a lot of begging I agreed to give it a try...having never...

...one could always use blanks...scare the heck out of the BG and provide you with approximately 5 seconds to say a prayer... :)

...whoa...a dragon slayer...outstanding! Now, what little firearm in your arsenal would you part with, no questions asked, if I don't tell your spouse about your recent acquisition...I have no ethics and can be bought given the right conditions...hint, hint... ;D. Tarheel

I am a huge fan of the 9mm weapon. It's a proven round that is easy to control, potent with the right cartridge and will get the job done effectively. Here are the ones I currently own: PM9 PPS 9 (also have it in .40) SR9...one of my favorites... 92FS I'm comfortable at any time...

...hey, put me on the list just below MW. I like watches, guns, knives. pens, British roadsters...all the guy stuff ;D. My lovely spouse disagrees to some extent, as she prefers paintings (can't eat them, shoot them, drive them, etc...what's the deal?), hormones (go figure), clothes...lots ( I...

...the NRA has posted a helpful assistance piece to make the process of writing your representatives a bit less stressing. Go here for the reference: NRA-ILA Write Your Reps Please do send an e-mail or make a call...they actually do listen to what comes down the pipeline, even if they don't...

..that pretty well seals the decision, Ray. Thx. I strongly suspect that the .357 and .38+P are very close in velocity and energy out of a -2" barrel revolver, albeit I haven't seen a comparison chronograph on the two. Bullet mass would probably be the only true advantage. These ole hands don't...

...Rosewood was classified as endangered and cited as illegal to trade in 1992 via the CITES embargo. Hold onto it, Skip...you have some valuable lumber in your possession if harvested before that date. Some folks claim they have Brizillian Rosewood for sale, but it is from stumps after...

...thx, guys. I'm not too big on large calibers either. I have a Model 19 in .357, but it's way to heavy (40oz loaded) to tote around, but shoots quite nicely. My PPS in .40 will make you grit your teeth at times...just takes adjusting to keep the shoulder somewhat loose to absorb the punch...
