Re: i'm buying a shotgun and need advice
I would think an 870 20 gauge combo would be a great place to start. Gives you a 26" vented barrell for the times you go on a dove hunt. For the other days of the year install the 20" barrell loaded with some 00 buckshot & you have a great home defense gun.

Re: Gun Safe In Garage?
Thanks for all the replys & suggestions. I ended up putting it in my closet in the master bedroom which even with an applaince dolly was not easy. I also mounted it to the slap with 4 concrete anchors, plus the opening side is next to the wall which will make using a pry bar hard to do. While I ...

Gun Safe In Garage?
I finally bought a gun safe & now need to figure out were to put it. I got a good deal on a American Eagle (made by Cannon) 20DX30Wx60H safe at Academy. They took 30% off since it was scrathed & dented doesn't affect the safe at all just the eye. Of Course my wife wants it in the garage but ...

Re: 8-12-09 Boy's Shooting Death - "jostled a backpack"
Very sad story, I feel for the family that will have to bear the what-ifs for life. While I know it could happen as described, but is a little hard to believe. That said this is a classic example of poor gun safety. As the father of 4 kids the thought of leaving a loaded gun anywhere within reach of...

Re: 243 vs. 270 vs. 30.06
My first deer rifle as a teen was a WIN 670 in 243, then the first gun I bought was a Rem 700 in 30-06 when I was 19. Bought the '06 becaused I felt like a kid shooting my 243 while in deer camp with my friends who were shooting 300 & 7mm mags. So I bought the 30-06 & used it for 1 season &a...

Re: Are you hoarding ammo???
Hoarding not really due to $$$. However my thoughts on ammo on hand has changed greatly in the last several months. Plus my shooting has dropped off quite a bit as I fear of depleting what little ammo I have. At this point instead of buying loaded ammo I am working on my reloading supplies.

Re: Further research reveals...(Source of guns in Mexico)
I heard it FOx news this morning. Nice to see that some are not buying into the rehortic of the liberal media that is being spun but folks that wish to disarm us.

Re: Homeowner shoots back at M-16/AR-15 wielding robbers
That was wild, good for the home owner. One thing I got from it was that while we all then to over think our guns, bullets & cailbier. Main thing is to have a gun, as even though he was out numbered & out gunned. He still came out on top because he was prepared & aware of his surrondings.

Re: Southwest Border Violence Reduction Act of 2009
Sure seems like a well built & well patroled fence would take care of most of these problems. If we would take border patrol serious we cut cut down on the drugs & illegal aliens coming into US & stop the flow of guns into Mexico. I just find it odd we are so worried about the flow of gu...

Re: Shooting in Houston by CHL holder
Who wuz it said "Nuthin' good ever happens after midnight." ? I think this is in the parents handbook. As a rowdy teenager I thought my parents were over protective. Now as a father I understand & have been know to repeat the phrase many times. Funny when my kids roll their eyes at me...
