    US State and Commerce Departments Announce Changes in Suppressor Regulations

    The way I read it, the judge only ruled for the plaintiffs in this case as he didn't want to overstep his authority and rule it nation wide. So, according to the judge, the 15 states and various businesses and organizations that brought the suit do not have to comply with the registration...

    Hydrostatic shock does not help kill animals

    I shot a Pronghorn couple of years ago. 200 yard shot straight through the heart with a 5.56mm Black Hills 77 gr. OTM. It ran 300 yards with a quarter of its heart blown off. Some shock effect would have prevented such a long run in my opinion. I think you need a balance of both for good...

    Pay It Forward-Free

    Expecting some snap caps so I'll go ahead and put this out there: .35 Remington die set. This has been unused in the 20 years I've had it and they are in good shape. I'll be away from the computer for the most part over the next few days and won't be able to get it sent out until next week.

    Where is the best steak (and why)

    He's gone now. The covid crap pretty much shut him down, but Naifeh's Steakhouse had the best peppered ribeye ever. His last location was by the Choctaw Casino there in Durant, OK. Everything in that place was done by hand, from the salad croutons to the homemade yeast dinner rolls and cinnamon...

    Politics

    Something else people don't consider. A lot of the Vietnam Veterans never put in claims. And in their late years with health problems piling on they are encouraged to go to the VA and most do so due to the prohibitive cost of health care. Two examples: A good friend, 82nd Airborne and 11th...

    @jruby "Because Trump is a self proclaimed dictator even if for a day. You knew that." Just curious. When did Trump declare himself a dictator?

    Politics

    Interesting enough our political beliefs are fairly close. You lost me though when you went down the path of being a troll. You probably find it ironic because you were never a military man and you've never been to the Middle East and you've never seen first hand the atrocities of the so called...

    Politics

    Having deployed to number countries in the Middle East myself, and worn a rag on my head from time to time and worked with a number of good people over there fighting bad people, I find your ignorance and insults to someone you don't know as quite pathetic. You have now dipped yourself into the...
