You should rename it "Personal Political Party" (or the P-P Party), since it violates many principles upon which America was founded.

I've seen this before just recently. As far as I can tell, it's the real deal. They are a legitimate training company, and are trying to recruit people to their classes. Seems like a great deal if you're going to take training anyway. I get a number of their articles e-mailed to me, and have receive...

It would be nice to put some names to faces and meet some fellow Levergunners! Who is going to organize?

alnitak

I'd be interested also. I'm in NoVA, so probably not anywhere near the rest of you (about 90 minutes from Richmond), but would drive up to a couple of hours to meet. Anything like Fredricksburg or Manassas convenient for the rest of you?

I'm starting this thread for Rjohns94. He's found a three-digit (5xx) serial 1894 in .38-55. It is 26" octagon barrel, crescent butt, buckhorn rear sight, bead front, full mag, 60% bluing intact, excellent bore, some light pitting, dings on the stock and external to the barrel. What do you thin...

My understanding is that you can use your state resident CHP/CCW and a copy of the training certificate to get a Florida non-resident permit (total cost between $100-150 for application). However, for Utah, you must take a Utah certified course (check their web site for certified instructors), which...

Thanks Ohwin94. I added the rifle creed after Meanc suggested it.

No more quotes to add (can't believe I have them all)?

alnitak

Thanks all; made most of the additions you suggested. I'll save the movie quotes for another thread...too many good ones!

I've heard the tactics quote before...who said it? Weren't there a couple more like that from the same person?

alnitak

Thanks all. I added some new ones (and deleted the unconfirmed Hitler quote), with more from the founding fathers, throughout the original post.

Let me know what others I need to add.

After seeing ScottT's thread, and the question on whether Steinbeck actually said those quotes attributed to him, and reading people's signature lines for a few years, I thought this might be a worthwhile thread. Here are some gun quotes I've put together. I've tried to stay away from just political...

In doing a quick internet search, they all have been attributed to him many times, including in some apparently credible sources. I've found corroboration on many of them, with the exception of the fire extinguisher one.

I had heard that Texas, alone, reserved the right to secede from the US, but that seems to be in error, as described here: http://www.texassecede.com/faq.asp There was also some talk there about the ability to divide into multiple states, maybe with some benefits for Texas (like more Senators).

I have to agree with Malamute...I don't believe that in civilian situations, a pistol is only for fighting to your rifle. As in the robbery/shooting scenario, most likely it will occur in a small enclosed space -- not out in the open. A rifle wouldn't be practical to deploy in tight quarters -- you'...

I have a CHP (limited to handguns here in VA) and would never knowingly break the law. Hobie, I live in VA too. Interesting, because you are correct about the CHP vs. CCW, but I've never made the distinction in my mind. For example, it is illegal to carry a knife of 3" or more into a school. D...

Neat pics, guys. I like the memories of those times that they evoke. Hobie --- those look real! Looks like a couple of stag-handled Colts. What's the story?

I seem to remember a thread on the old forum that talked about our earliest gun memories, or when we first got introduced to guns. Having just gotten into CAS, I had to chuckle when I recalled mine. I believe I'm about 2 1/2 here, Christmas 1956: http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e99/alnitak2/cowboy...

I've been using the hand press for a couple of years now, and wondered if I was getting any dust in the sizing die, and if it would make any difference if I did. Seems like the answer is yes in both cases. Is there anyway to take the die apart and clean it, maybe with Q-tips and alcohol? Suggestions...

Wow! Some impressive shooting, Mike. At 100 yards I'm lucky if these old eyes can discern a spot that small on the target, much less hit it!

Given the performance of the rifle and your expertise, what's next...shooting at Quigley distances?

I also visit the SASS (CAS topics and classified), Defensive Carry (Tactical situations and concealed carry issues), Glock (User groups and classifieds), Ruger (SAA revolver and classifieds), and PistolSmith forums, various reload forums, several other forums (only for the classifieds, e.g., AR-15, ...

I don't mind welfare for those that are truly in need and trying to get by, but it must be limited...to say a year (enough time to find a job).

After seeing Grizz's post on leverguns and sub-flooring, and some of the responses, my thinking got around to a subject I've pondered before: Assume that at some point in the future, all guns are outlawed (don't laugh; I suspect it will happen within 25 years). And the Government is authorized to pa...

Azmark, You are right, as I can also find no mention of arms control in the proposed bill. As I said, I just copied what I received in the original e-mail to me.

Interesting. Here in the East, VA specifically (though many other states as well), the deer population is growing to where they are becoming a nuisance.
