General Discussion / Joe Biden Fireside Chat

« on: January 29, 2013, 11:03:29 AM »

Joe Biden Fireside Chat with Philip DeFranco

Parts I found interesting
Joe Biden approves of shotguns for keeping you safe, says they're more effective than AR-15's. But old Fartstein wants to ban some shotguns http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/01/24/dianne-feinstein-wants-to-ban-all-these-guns.html
Joe Biden is more concerned about magazine capacity than gun types, but only mentions mass shootings and not home defense
Joe Biden thinks there can be 30 or 40 clips in a magazine?

Three people were killed, including the shooter, said Lt. James Rhodes of the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office. One person suffered a traumatic injury, he said. The shooter died of a self-inflicted gunshot, Rhodes said.

I hope this isn't a trend with the malls being full of Christmas shoppers and all.

I haven't turned on the TV today yet so I'm hoping this doesn't mean that the national ABC broadcasts are gone too......

General Discussion / Favorite Paper Targets

« on: June 07, 2012, 11:14:48 AM »

What's your favorite paper target to shoot? Post a copy if you have one. Or give me one and I can scan it and post it for you (assuming its not too big for a scanner).

My new favorite target is Barney. Thanks Inspector!

The beginning of the Zombie Apocalypse continued today when an engineering student killed and ate a man's brain and heart. What is this world coming to?

General Discussion / No Out of State Registrations

« on: May 29, 2012, 02:38:20 PM »

Just a heads up. I went to the firearms division today and saw a sign posted stating that their computer is down and no out out of state registrations are being processed. There were no dates on the sign so I don't know how long it's been this way nor when it will be up again but you know how quickly the government works.

Preparedness and Survival / Fishing kit in a BOB

« on: May 20, 2012, 01:31:27 AM »

While I was thinking about the things in my BOB, I came across the fishing kit I was putting together and it seems to be missing a fishing pole. My original thought was that I could hand line it or make a simple pole if needed, but I don't like that idea anymore and it seems like a waste of time. So i went looking for a compact pole that wouldn't weigh my bag down and came across two candidates

Pen fishing rod

Emmrod
http://www.emmrod.com/

The pen rod is telescoping, very light, uses a special miniature reel, but looks a little flimsy to me.The Emmrod looks weird shaped, made out of stainless steel, uses standard reels, but weighs twice as much as a pen rod. What do you guys think? Do you include a fishing pole in your BOB?

Firearms and Accessories / Opinion on Bipods

« on: February 26, 2012, 10:40:06 PM »

I'm looking into getting a new bipod for a 5.56 and I have come across Harris and many Harris clones. In your experience, is a Harris bipod worth the money or will a Harris clone do the job?

I was looking into something like this:
