My whole problem with the website is that it basically says that everything in the Bible that Jesus didn't say is null and void. . I don't read it that way. I read it that those things that are in conflict with the teachings of Jesus are null and void. . You may be right about reading it that way. ...

Thanks Grizz. I wanted to post some of those references, but didn't have my Bible on hand (shame on me).

Bruce, I'm sorry I do not have a Bible on hand to give you reference scriptures, but I'll give you the long and short on my understanding of how Heaven is going to play out. In the Old Testament, the reason that David did not go to heaven is that people didn't go straight to Heaven before Christ cam...

Very interesting and to the point. I never could get into organized "religions or churches". Joe Also, I am of the opinion that organized religion is a lot of what's wrong with Christians today. I attend church every Sunday, and believe one should be part of a body of believers, but not n...

My whole problem with the website is that it basically says that everything in the Bible that Jesus didn't say is null and void. That is rediculous. The whole Bible is inspired by God. Every word in it comes straight from God, written through the people he chose to put it on paper. That is my take o...

My Uncle has had three ricochets hit him at shoots we have gone to. I've had a piece of a 30-30 ricochet and hit me in the hand when shooting at a steel target about 30 yards away.

My dad picked up a Marlin straight stock in 30-30 that had been a New Mexico Rancher's for close to 40 years. I think he paid $150 for it. Looks about the same as yours, but it's a great shooter. I'd leave it alone and make it an all purpose truck gun. Maybe spray some Brownell's epoxy on it or some...

What jnyork said about Wyoming goes for Texas, except it's Hotter than the devil here. We've got plenty of trees in East Texas, and no state income tax. Check out the Brady Campaign report card to find the gun friendliest states. I think I'd like New Mexico. I grew up in Texas, and just moved to Ne...

Please forgive my ignorance, and I'm kind of embarrassed to ask, but what is a Bug Out gun? I'm guessing it is one you keep ready with a pack of ammo in case of an emergency and you have to get going quick. Is that about right, or is there more to it?

I would go with the .454/.45 myself. Load 'em light or hot for whatever the purpose. There's not an animal on this continent that it won't take. As far as barrel length, I like shorter barrels myself. I would go with 4 3/4, or 5 1/2 at the longest. Shorter guns are lighter and easier to carry. As fo...

pm sent. I'm VERY interested in this job.

Not too many interesting stories to tell, but I'm supposedly distantly related to Robert E. Lee from my mother's side. Her maiden name is Lee. On my dad's side, my great-great grandpa settled in Southeastern Oklahoma and had to fight Indians to get his land. All of my grandparents are from Okla. Sou...

I think it all started with the hippies. I believe that their ideas are mostly what is wrong with our country. All the "make love not war" junk, and the drugs, and free love, and acceptance of other beliefs. I think that tolerance is ok, but now the gov is trying to make you accept others ...

What is this cartridge? I'm guessing from the name it is an improved version of the 30-30, that much I get. I have just recently (in the last couple of years) become heavily interested in leverguns, but in my limited experience I do not have much knowledge of some of the older, or more obscure calib...

These idiots were supposed to protest a soldier's funeral here in Roswell a couple weeks back. A couple of them showed up with their signs but when they saw the Honor Guard, which is a group of Veteran bikers that show up to protest these guys, they got back in their cars and left. Proud to report t...

Hey Shooter, what other interesting things have you people from Roswell,NM seen, or think you've seen, or talked to people that think they might have seen? :lol: :lol: And BTW, what a great true story by u.e! :wink: Oops, gotta go now, something huge going thru the front yard heading in the directi...

Saw a jagarundi in Timberon N.M. two years ago, it was a strange looking critter

Mescalero, what is a jagarundi?

Hey Mescalero, are you in NM? If so, whereabouts?

Homefront, in your first post, you alluded to archaeological dicsoveries supporting Biblical stories. I've read that every new archaeological discovery has never called into question the factual truth of a biblical story, rather, it has supported it. What I'm saying boils down to there is no biblic...

Sorry, by black cats I meant Mountain Lions, panthers, pumas...whatever you want to call them. They're not supposed to exist. The "experts say any black one you see has to be an escaped leopard or a wandering jaguar. I fully believe there are still a few jaguars left in the southwestern part of...

I also saw a show on black cats the other day, and how they aren't supposed to exist. I've heard many credible people who live out in the country tell me they see them on a regular basis, and my uncle has seen one on his deer lease. He's one of the most credible people I know, so I don't generally h...

I would take the knifemaking class. I've been wanting to take one, but I don't know if there are any in my area. I live in Roswell, NM and if any of y'all have ever been out this way, y'all know there ain't much of anything out here. I just don't think I could pass up the knifemaking class

My first was a Henry .22 mag, second was a 94 30-30, third was a Model 95 30-06 which I recently sold, and fourth is a Marlin .22. Still have them all but the 95

I know this is way off topic, but I've seen some tv shows lately on bigfoot and I find them considerably amusing. I don't know if they exist or not, but the topic interests me. Has anyone ever seen, or know someone that has, what they think is a bigfoot? Just curious. I've been researching a little ...

but I got an Ibanez ael50 for Christmas, and I've been wanting to show it off. Not nearly as nice as Boge's, but I'm sure proud of it. That Martin is in a whole different class all together, NICE GUITAR! Here's mine, hopefully, this is my first attempt at pics http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f84/p...

yeah, it's me, and yeah I got 'em. You switched the pics though. When I opened the trophy one there was a pic of a gnarly 5 point. The other one was pretty nice though.

I'm not new to shooting, but have a fairly recent interest in leverguns. I've never been able to find out the purpose of a saddle ring. What's its purpose? Probably an ignorant question, but I figure this is a good place to ask it.

There's always Texas. That's where I'm from and where I love to hunt. The hunting in New Mexico sucks. You have to draw out and you only get one deer, and the season is only five days long. There's some good hunting in Texas, and in some counties I think the limit is up to 6 or 7 deer with different...

Marlin guide gun in 45-70, or a Winchester 1876 in the same caliber. I'd take either one but I don't think it's going to happen this year

That's one of the main problems with this gun. When they drilled the receiver they drilled through the lettering. I can't complain too much, though, I got the gun for free. I was just kinda wondering if putting original type sights on it would raise the value enough to warrant doing it or not. I'd r...

New to this board. Thanks for having me. I have a Winchester 1895 in 30-06 that was made in 1924. When I aquired it, it had been sitting in an attic for 20 to 30 yrs and was in bad shape. I cleaned it up as best I knew how, and it looks a lot better now. I am trying to sell it but the prospects i ha...
