Not by me.

The "special" treatment and attitude of various agents of the government has p!ssed me of for quite a few years.

Re: Videos of engagements

Gruesome, horrifying video of cop getting stabbed to death. Armed citizen intervenes eventually, and kills the murderer, but too late to save the cop's life. Lots of lessons here, not the least of which is how evil people can be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wevpk7tWQDU&t=9s The good Samarit...

Re: The only one professional enough,...

I'll bet the heroic officer Hernandez never felt the humiliating sting of handcuffs for that shameful performance. He didn't even suffer the ignominy of being terminated. He was allowed to resign . How nice! Now he can go get hired at a different agency and ply his brave trade at the expense of anot...

Re: The Maadi Griffin .50 BMG Rifle

As I recall, what did in Mr. Stewart was that when the ATF executed a search warrant in pursuit of their investigation, lo' and behold they found Stewart had a few STEN guns he had resurrected from parts kits back into fully functional specimens. And then,...if memory serves,...while sitting in pre...

Great job gettin' r dun! The Maadi was very similar to the old LAR Grizzly.
Thanks!

I'll bet you could have built one if you had the same access to quality machinery that I had.

The Maadi Griffin .50 BMG Rifle

Those of you old enough to remember the Shotgun News, a publication that is no longer in print but was rife with all manner of ads targeted at both the firearms industry and enthusiasts, will surely recall that it was a Siren’s song of temptation. Within those beguiling pages I found an advertisemen...

Re: Sportsman's Warehouse

My experience with the Prescott Sportsman's has been nothing but positive. The staff behind the gun counter are knowledgeable, pleasant and I've heard them consistently give good advice to customers. They usually have a pretty good inventory and if they don't have what I'm looking for, it normally d...

Re: Whats a Passidomo

Passidomo claims she reached her nanny-like decision after talking to Florida sheriffs. “The sheriffs who I deeply respect, who are in the business, who understand the issues, do not support open carry in the state of Florida, they support permitless carry,” Passidomo said last year. Wait, what? Pol...

Re: Israel reverses stance on gun control

They didn't reverse their stance on gun control, just like the Ukraine didn't. They are basically hoping their unarmed citizens will now be an army of convenience. If they are victorious they will go back to the draconian laws they had - and from what I have gathered from some friends that live ove...

Re: Israel reverses stance on gun control

I wouldn't say they've exactly "reversed" their stance. From the Ministry of National Security Firearm Licensing Department: 1. Every civilian eligible for a firearm license, as per the licensing criteria for self defense or service in a security agency, with no criminal record or health i...
